Sustainability Movie

In room 13 we are entering the out look for some day movie compition.
My group is Lily,Ruby,Be,Renne and Arielle (me), Our movie is about water pollution and how it needs to stop.
It was fun to film because I had to paint my face red, but it smelt really bad and wear a fish costume thing.
I think we did really well and who knows we might actully win, I hope we do wish us luck!

Russian Fudge

In the weekend I had a go at making russian fudge, I liked making It because It was really fun,
I also found It easy. It tasted really yummy  But It had lots of suger which wasnt a problem for me but It was for my parents.

Here Is the recipe I used: (It Is from the chealsea suger website)

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups Chelsea White Sugar
125g butter
3 Tbsp Chelsea Golden Syrup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
200g sweetened condensed milk (half a standard tin)
2 tsp vanilla essence

Method

Place all the ingredients except the vanilla, into a medium-heavy saucepan. Warm over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved about 10-15 mins. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 5-10 minutes, until it reaches the soft ball stage (120°C).

Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. Beat until the fudge is creamy and thick and has lost its gloss. Pour into a greased 20cm cake pan. Score the top and break into pieces when cold

Dodge Ball Finals

At Tawa Intermediate we had our dodge ball finals!
Room 13 the most awesomest class, were getting ready for our dodge ball game, we were versing room 14, I was worried about playing them because room 14 are very good at dodge ball.

Before the game we were talking over some strategies to take out room 14.We walked over to the hall where our game was held and the excitement started to build in the room, we sat on the sides of the dodge ball court because we were playing in the second game.
Room 15 were playing room 10, it was a good game but sadly room 15 lost (we wanted room 15 to win because they are in the same syndicate as us.)

Finally it was our turn to play room 14, we toke our positions at the starting line, we waited for the whistle to blow, and when it did both classes zoomed to the line to grab the dodge balls.
I never go up to grab a dodge ball because I'm never fast enough. People from both classes started to be aimed at and hit at, I didn't last long in the game so when i sat down on the bench i started to yell strategies at the people that were left. We were getting beaten pretty bad, It was down to Zac vs half room 14, I hoped he would catch it or get the rest of room 14 out, but of corse he was hit.
                                                                                                                                                                   To bad we didn't win but we did come in the top 3, Mrs T said we would have a shared lunch if we came in the top 3 so that's good enough for me.

Cheerleading Compition!

Cheerleading is a hard sport, especially when you have to lift people up in the air and throw them back down, on Sunday 5th of August I had to do a lot of that because It was the Wellington cheer-leading compition!

First me and my sister Lily went to the supper market to get food to snack on during the compition because it went on from 12:00 to 5:00, we got chips, chocolate, cruskits, and drinks.
We had to hurry though because the compition was going to start soon.

When we arrived to the place we were competing at, me and Lily walked in and there were cheerleading squads from everywhere including Auckland. I don't know about Lily but I was really nervous.We saw our squad (which was zone) and went up to them, Sally (our teacher) told us it was our turn to practice on the big sprung floor.

when the compition finally began we were one of the first squads to compete, we did really well!
at the award ceremony all of us from zone were hoping that our team came first place Sally came up to me and told me that if we win any prizes that I would have to go and get it.

When the judges began to announce the results the excitement builds and.....................................................Zone comes first! Everyone from Zone were very glad we got a trophy and a big banner.

I'm glad we won and I hope there are more compitions in the future.

Hospital Trip

Having asthma is a pain, you alway's have to take inhalers morining and night to prevent It from happing, and you need to carry a blue inhaler for instant relif if you get asthma during the day.

On a dark night, i asked dad to take me with im to the city to drop my cousin off at work, and he said yes, so we started to drive and when we finally reached the brightly lit city we stopped outside my cousin's work place and when she got out we drove off.

We stopped outside the mall to have something to eat, then we romed around thecity looking at shops. I started to feel a bit weezy and at that point I knew I had asthma.

  When we finally finished at the city we walked to the car and headed for home, I felt worried because I knew I ran out of inhalers, I hoped it would eaze up by the time we reached home but it did'nt.

At home it felt like my throught was closing in, I knew I could'nt stop it so I told my parents and then dad took me to the hospital.

  I was breathless when we arrived at the hospital we sighned in and we had to wait what semed like forever for a docer to come and see me, and when the docter finally camer, she took us to her office and asked me a few qustions and she then took me and dad to a room with a strange machine.

The docter gave me a mask to put around my mouth and then she swiched on the weird looking machine and it helped me breath.

I then got a blue inhaler and I finally got to go home and get some rest, I was so sleepy and by the time I got home It was one o'clock In the morning. I went to my bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
