Recount of Elephant Toothpaste

Elephant Toothpaste

Yesterday LS1 and Room 5 went to the front field to see an elephant toothpaste experiment at 2’o clock. Miss Kirkpatrick invited her friends Mrs Davis and Miss Dutton to come along and make the Elephant Toothpaste experiment in front of us.

First they used a cylinder. Mrs Davis  chose two volunteers. Mrs put in hydrogen peroxide then put in a teaspoon of potassium iodide crystals. Then a volunteer squirts detergent in. Then it started to rumble then the mix blew out. I was terrified, I had the butterflies.

Then  Mrs Davis chose two new volunteers. (This time it was in a fizzy bottle) Mrs Davis poured 100 mls into the cylinder then put into the fizzy bottle. Then put the potassium iodide crystals in, and squirted the detergent in. When it exploded it started to burst up higher and higher! Then the fizzy bottle started to melt! “How could a bottle melt by foam touching it?” I thought to myself.

Then Mrs Davis went around with the melted bottle. When it touched it it felt hot, steamy and gooey. When the event was over some people went over to get a handful of foam. When the foam was of their hands. I saw that their hands started to get yellow!

Easter Holiday

Easter Holiday

In the Easter holidays my family and I went to Mangawhai Heads Camping Park. On the first day Dad, Anastasia and I went to the nearby beach and found pipis! When we came back to our tent I saw my cousin Crystal! Then we went to the playground. That night when I slept it was freezing!

The next morning I was awake first, I stepped on the grass, it felt like it was wet, but it wasn’t. It was just cold. That morning when everyone was awake we had bacon and eggs. After breakfast we played cricket. Uncle taught me how to bowl. Then when it was time for me to bowl. I tried my hardest and I did it! I was so proud of myself and also for Crystal because she hit the ball. Then Anastasia, Crystal and I went to the playground on the camp site and played surfers ( because it was at the beach) For lunch we had home made burgers and it was delicious! After lunch we went to an island across the camp site in an eight horse powered boat. When we got there we walked across the island and my feet got stuck in the sand! It was like quicksand.

When we were about to go I got to drive the boat back and it was amazing. When we went home I was very sad. I asked my parents to go back one time and they said yes.

Then we had to pour the runny chocolate into the moulds. The chocolate splattered everywhere! When all the chocolate was finished and all the moulds were full, someone from each group had to get the group’s tray, and put it into the hall kitchen’s fridge. Then we waited till the next day. When we took them out of the fridge my group couldn't find our chocolates! At least we found some spare chocolates. “Phew,” I said.  When I plopped the chocolate in my mouth, it was so creamy.

The Dog

The Dog

Once upon a time there was a dog named Otis. Otis was a grey woolly six month puppy. Otis lived with the Smithermans. The Dad’s name was Andrew, Mum’s name was Lacy and the daughter's name was Daisy. The Smithermans lived in Rotorua. The thing Otis hated the most was his brush. When Daisy tried to comb Otis he would growl and run in circles. The thing that Otis loved the most was his doggie treats. On Friday afternoon Daisy and Otis went for a walk in the playground.

When they were about to leave Otis bought his brush. Daisy yelled “Otis put it down!” But Otis didn’t put it down, so it was no use. When they got to the nearest playground Daisy tied Otis onto a pole. While Daisy was playing, Otis was digging his brush. When Daisy got tired she untied Otis’s leash and went. Daisy didn’t realise that there was a hole that was buried. When they got home Lacy said “Where's Otis’s Brush?, Daisy,”. “I don’t know,” Daisy replied. So the Smithermans family went to the the playground that Otis dug his brush. When the family tried to look for Otis's brush there was a problem. There were so many holes! So they didn’t know which one had the brush in it. So the Smithermans looked for Otis’s brush, but they couldn’t find it, because Otis was sitting on the the buried hole with the brush in it. In ten minutes they gave up.

That afternoon Andrew walked to the wrong playground!  This playground has holes as well! When Andrew dug up all the holes he couldn’t find anything! So Andrew went to the pet shop and bought a new brush for Otis. Lacy and Daisy were happy that Otis had a brush, but Otis wasn’t happy at all.

That night Daisy got Otis’s brush and daisy combed him. Otis was making growling noises when he was sleeping!
