Last week we had a technology challenge. We had to make a ramp

so a ball would roll down it.

Mine didn’t work that well, it only went about 3 cm. We only could use three

bits of paper and some tape. We had to plan, design build,

test, modify and  our ramp.

Ways I help around the house.

Ways I help around the house.

I vacuum around the house, I also

just learnt how to start the

washing machine.

I also take the rubbish and recycling out

when it's needed.

Sometimes I help take the washing off

the line. 

I am saving up for an electric guitar, each day

I do my chores mum gives me one dollar

but mostly I enjoy being helpful.

mentos experement

Mentos and coke experiment.

A couple weeks ago my sister and I did a mentos experiment with different

types of fizzy drinks and I learnt that out of lemonade, fanta,

raspberry, cola and diet coke the diet coke was the one that exploded the most.

My favourite part was that my theory  was right about

the diet coke would be the most fizziest one out of them all, i think

it would be the fizziest because it was bigger than all the other bottles

and more sugar.

my short stories

My short stories

Everyday I write short stories to improve my hand writing, 

here is some of my work.

1) One day there was a big block of chocolate, Jenny was looking at

one of her potions when the potion fell on to the big block of chocolate.

Suddenly the chocolate bar turned into a chihuahua and Jenny got an awful fright.

2) Once upon a time there was a little boy, he put his new shoes on and started thinking

about a snake. Suddenly the little boy turned into a snake... magic shoes he thought but 

he would never be able to turn back because he had to wear both shoes and he only had a tail. 

3) Once upon a time there was an ice cream truck. One day the man filled the ice cream tank and headed out to sell his ice cream but when he went to give out the ice cream it was empty. It had been stolen, Rachel had stolen the ice cream because she wanted some but had no money.

4) One day a family of four went out for a walk, the brother fell over and sprained his ankle.

He had to go to the hospital, luckily it wasn't broken but he had to rest his leg at home.

I hope you enjoy my stories.

How to make banana pancakes.

How to make banana pancakes.

On Sunday we made banana pancakes from scratch, I helped by mashing
the banana and mixing the batter.

I also tasted the first pancake and it was delicious.

Ingredients:

1 - ½ cups all purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 -½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 -½ cups of milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons melted butter

How to:

Add all your dry ingredients to a large bowl gently mix then add, egg, butter,
vanilla, milk and mashed banana.

Thoroughly mix your batter - it will look lumpy because of the banana (that's okay),
if its thick add a little bit more milk.

Now your ready to cook on medium to low heat in a pan with a little butter,
when your batter starts to bubble it’s reddy to flip. Now you can taste test.
