The Potato Chip

George Crum was the creator of this food (Potato Chips). The chip is an accidental invention.
This invention takes us back to the 80’s, it was a summer day when George Crum (the inventor) was a chief at an elegant resort in Sara toga Springs, New York.
A dinner guest was at the restaurant and ordered some of George’s french fries, but the fries were too thick for his taste. He rejected the order and so Crum redid the french fries and they became paper thin chips. And that’s how this type of food was born.
Crum’s date of birth was in 1822 in Sara Toga, New York. His death was in 1914 he was a native American Man. Not much can be found about his early life and education. He was the son of a mulatto jockey and an Indian maid.
Did you know he opened his own restaurant and he put a basket of some of his famous potato chips on every table. As you know now potato chips are every where, they come in all different sizes, packets and flavours.

Camp

Wow! another camp can you believe that, I knew that this would be the best camp ever. There was cooking, singing, dancing, even new adventures, and so many more I can’t explain. What a way to start a holiday.
One of my special trips was Rock Up, and Dunker, the trips were this Tuesday. I really enjoyed both of them. There was more, like Ski Boards, Archery, and a game about team work.
I enjoyed camp and I can’t wait till next year.

Navigation

This Picture here is Nicholas Young. He was a sailor on Captain Cooks Ship for a look out voyage. Nicholas Young was a surgeons boy and eleven years old when he left his family! On Captain Cooks ship he is a navigator.

Navigating is something you could use to set sail on sea. You must make sure, that you are going the right direction.

Polynesian People

Polynesian people touched down on Aotearoa 1000 years ago. Individual people came by canoe, which Maori people used well sailing on the verge of death. Some of the boats had single hulls, without riggers or double hulls. There was plunks slashed together, which were 15 to 25 meters long.

Trained navigators steered under a direct trail of stars by night and sea swells by day. Not many of them managed to cross the dangerous seas of Aotearoa.

One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill was made by volcanic lava, that was hitting the hot spot. It was making a cone, witch will allow it to cool down and become a erupting volcano .

Lava has created a volcanic eruption, called One Tree Hill, a.k.a. Maungakiekie. It was erupting to 20,000 or 30,000,years, it is also a famous Auckland landmark.

The spectacular view at the top tells you, the dead men at war worked hard. Also you can look at some of the volcanoes in the area of New Zealand.

As you were climbing to the top of the hill, you can look down and see the three craters, that shows you how the side is blown up. The scoria rocks were great for ancient use, and the mouth of the lava is shaped like an horse shoe. Whats more the person who made volcanoes was a man called volcan, and now his name is still remembered for all the maori ancestors.

Volcano Eruption

Inside planet earth is hot liquid rock with piousness gasses. magma inside the vent is expanding, witch means it is not going to burst out hard.

Mount Vesuvius was erupting! A foundation of fire shot upwards and huge black cloud rose up into the sky. The ground shook with the force of the explosion. People staggered, clinging to one another.

The Tuna Goes On the Umu

Into the umu, goes large plump tuna, that was sent from niue, by plane. The tuna is cut up into big chunks , then wrapped in coconut leaves. Then it is dumped on top of the umu, because it doesn't need so much time to cook.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber, is one of New Zealand best pop musicians in the world. Just as a kid, he already sold his most wanted songs RIGHT NOW!!! As he's been to New Zealand, there was a concert.

When he came, nearly half of the town went crazy about him, security's and cops were leading the fans away. Fans lost their minds, moms were dying to meet him, and dads wanted to be him. Many albums were out on sale

My Family Portrait

Here is me and a picture of my family portrait that I drew by hand. If you look very closely, you can see a dolphin which is my mother, and also our future because it isn't much detailed. On the ground is me, my two brothers, and my baby sister. Also I drew my Dad in the purple sky, watching over us. What's more, I drew birds flying in the sky. The whole portrait means that I like the beach, because on the ground is the sea, my mother is the dolphin who is swimming, and I drew some birds in the sky to make it more detailed.

My Volcano Art

Here is one of my volcano art at school, I have been working on. First we painted the background to make it blend the colors in. Then I got some new instructions to make my work more detailed.
Next we add the volcano, draw some smoke, and a little bit of steaming hot lava erupting out of volcano's mouth. After that we finally smuged the pastals with our hands to make it more interesting. It didn't end up good but I tried my best.

Tamaki College Visit

Here is one of my best friends, Joe. We were playing a game called octopus down at Tamaki College.

The aim of the game was that we have to get to the other side before the people that are in gets us out. When we are in or get tagged we sit on our bottoms and skittle with our hands. Also we use our octopus legs to get them out and that is me on the left.

Mufti day

This is me and my old pal Jeyan. You may thinking why we aren't wearing school uniform, well as you know we have mufti today. For lunch many people has been ordering sausage sizzles. There will be a school dance in the hall, also some people might be in for prizes.
