We went into lock down this week and I have been doing cooking every day. Today I made Eggs Benedict with home made hollandaise sauce for breakfast. Yesterday I made hotcakes for breakfast and Lemon honey and blueberry muffins. For dinner in Thursday night I made lasagne and a vanilla cake for desert. Today I also made cinnamon donuts with my brother. Which one do you think looks the best?
Did you know that a typical rocket produces more than a million pounds of thrust that allows it to carry more than 6,000 pounds? Topping speeds of 22,000 mph. The topic of this information report is rockets. I will cover 3 topics, Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 and the parts of a rocket and how it works.
Neil Alden Armstrong was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer. Neil Armstrong was also the first person to walk on the moon. He was also a naval aviator test pilot and university professor. Neil Armstrong died on August 25th 2012. After suffering a cardiac tear when placing a wire, routinely placed on the surface of his heart during cardiac bypass surgery, was removed and he suffered from bleeding.
I’m sitting here worrying about nothing, well that’s what my mum tells me. I’m walking around the waiting room at the dentist. I can feel a sweat drop dripping down my face. I am absolutely freaking out. Surely I’m not the only kid that hates the dentist. I’ve already been for a checkup, now I’m on the emergency list. I mean, I look after my teeth and all so whats wrong? After I get my teeth ripped out and drilled in, maybe I can get a milk shake. I guess that’s the only good thing about going to the dentist, when my parents feel sorry for me cause I’m in so much pain so they treat me with good food and movies. My brother literally never brushes his teeth and apparently he still has better teeth than me. I eat healthy (sort of) but you should see all the junk food he eats. I always cried at the dentist cause I am a massive sook. Last time I went to the dentist I had perfect teeth, but now I guess we turned on the wrong path. I have heard that root canals hurt like crazy so that just makes me even more nervous. I have been working myself up all day about this appoinment and I am going absolutely insane. I think that’s the reason that I haven’t been very focused. The door opens and my dentist comes out. “Nevaeh Lawton, I’m ready to see you now”.
The sun was bright and sparkly. I could hear the cars on the road, waiting at the front gate. People in their cars winding up the windows as they drive past us. I gaze at the glitchy sign trying to forget about the rocks underneath me. A police man in a mufty car pulls up on the opposite side of the riad. He gets out of the car and everyone waves and starts saying “hi!” i can here 2 vague dog barks from behind me. The smell of lynx gradually drifts under my nose. “2 more minutes” The teacher yells. Students from Otaki College run in through the gate. I think they wree doing a block run for P. All of a sudden we were heading back inside. I found an old fanta box on the foot path so I put it on my shoe. Zahrn found an old crusty dusty gumboot and he threw it at my face. “Ow” I said as I was hysterically laughing. We walked back to class and started writing our stories.
Royal Flush Card Game
Why were we outside for a writing assignment? We were all standing in a circle on the courts. I noticed that the teacher was holding a deck of cards. I could here the cicadas all around me. The sun was hot and the clouds looked like big fluffy pillows. “Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs”. Mrs Tennant was sorting us into teams. We were playing a game! This was a bit of a treat. I was so excited to play a game for s writing task. I knew right after we started playing that we would have to write a recount, how boring! I was in a team with Zoe, Kate and Charlie. As she starts explaining the rules I get pumped to play the game. “Ready, set, GO!”
Athletics Day
I was waiting in line for the long jump at my schools athletics day. I could here everyone talking around me. I felt nervous, as though I didn’t know what I was doing. I could feel the hot sun on my neck. The person in front of me ran and jumped, they did very well. That made my stomach churn even more. The teachers finished raking the sand out and I ran. It was a short run but I still felt the breeze run through my hair. I passed over the jumping pad. It felt like sandpaper on my feet. And then I jumped, my feet hit the sand, it was soft and warm. The second I stepped on the grass I got an instant shock from my toes to my knees. I went to sit down on the grass. They asked if I wanted to jump again. I definitely said no because I did not want to do that again. It wasn’t the best feeling in the world but I guess it was worth the house point.
