Cross country

This is me today doing cross country. I did three laps because all the year 7 and 8’s have to do three laps and up.

Chef Alfonso

Yesterday Alfonso came to our school for our new topic. Our new topic is what is in a muffin. Alfonso has two daughters One named Manuwella and her little sister Sophia. Alfonso first told us the difference between a muffin and a cupcake. Then he told us his take on a good muffin recipe. He made sweet muffins, he added berries and walnuts. They were only for demonstration though. Only the teachers could eat them. I wish I was a teacher a eat them. We all paid attention and that night I went home and made some muffins. I added chocolate chips, raspberries, blueberries and few more ingredients it tasted nice.

Nets

In class we were learning about nets and how to make boxes and a Japanese hat. It was really easy but you have to concentrate on what your doing or you will screw up. You have to know how to use a compass and a ruler. There are many steps you have to do to get It right.

Tech

Today my friend and I made fried rice a tech. It had Bacon, Mixed veggies, onions and rice in it. It tasted splendid it was like heaven was in your mouth. I did the cooking and Samuel did the cleaning. It was the best food I ever made.

Robin Williams

Robin Williams is a very well known person. I remember him best for Night at the Museum because he plays a funny role. He is one of my inspirations because he entertained people and starred in many famous films. He stars in Robots, Nght at the Museum, Happy Feet and many more. He also danced with my aunty when he came to new Zealand. He was a nice loyal person that everyone loves. I have seen many films of his. To me him and Ricky Gervais are the kings of comedy. According to my aunty he is one of the friendliest men on earth and people should look up to him.

Commonwealth Games medal count

 

I think New Zealand did very well in the Commonwealth games. They came 6th with 45 medals. Even though they had less than Australia and England we still would have come first because it took us less people to win one gold medal say for Example it took india nearly two million people to win a single medal compared to us with ten and a half thousand people per medal.
