Someone try's to ruin Christmas ( The Problem ) 

I have done a story and add myself and Santa Claus and the Grinch. 

Santa’s Village

“CHRISTMAS AS STARTED YAY!”

Shouted Santa as he was making the snowman outside. I was also helping santa decorate the Snowman, well the Elves were inside making all the parents.

As we were making the snowman there was a big nose, it sounded like a big thump like something landing onto the ground. Santa, The snowman and myself all turned around to see what it was.

It was very hairy and very tall but it was all green and had funny things coming out of his head which was green as well.

“OH NO!” yelled Santa

“What’s the matter?” I asked

“Well it’s the grinch and also look the snowman has melted what can we do now?” said Santa well he was worried.

“The grinch is bad version of me he always tries to ruin christmas every year” explained Santa.

Then the grinch tries to sneak around us to get into santa’s village

“Look look the grinch is trying to get into your village,” I said.

“OH no we have to go after him right away” shouted Santa.

Then off we were chasing after the grinch but instead off Santa getting the grinch it was the other way around the grinch got Santa…

“What are we going to do now and it’s the middle of the night we need Santa it’s time to deliver the gifts to houses!”

I said.

So me myself and I jumped into the sleigh and hooked the reindeers onto the sleigh then off we went to go and find Santa claus.

“Look it’s Santa let’s get Santa back,”

and we starting to go faster and faster and look we are next to them

“quick jump into the sleigh Santa”

and he just made it “

yay you made it now let’s get going”

And off we went.

“We did it we got all the gifts delivered and we did it in time” cheered Santa

Everyone got what they wanted and they had an amazing christmas.

I chose Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus. 
can you please give me feed back on what maybe I could do next time. 

Don't let the pigeon drive the BUS!

I think that the pigeon should be aloud to driving the bus or even any other big vehicle or maybe any vehicle at all because you never know what would happen

dun dun dun…

Well and also he won't be able to reach the pedals to drive because he has very short legs.  

I think he shouldn’t because… he won’t be able to reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel to see where he is about to go.

I don’t think he should be able to drive the bus because well you never know what would happen and also he doesn't have is driving licens.

Lightning

Lightning

I have been learning how to write and information report. We got to pick a type of weather I choose Lightning because I don't know much things about Lightning and I wanted to know more.  

Please comment what you think and also what I could maybe do next time. 

Lightning

What is that big flash? It was Lightning.

Be careful around Lightning it may hurt you and don't stand up straight because that means there is a very high chance you get struck by Lightning. There are 12 different types of Lightning all over the world. If you hear a crash or a bang from the sky then you know Thunder and Lightning is coming.

Lightning is an electric current because lightning is made by electricity. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice ( frozen raindrops ) bump into each other as they move around in the air and through clouds. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with an electrical charge and will turn into bright black cloud. Then it burst out Thunder and Lightning.

The ice colloids together and makes a electric charge in the clouds which will make an electric charge also in the ground and then they will try and join together.

Intracloud is the most common Lightning. Sometimes the process take a places within the clouds and then look’s like a big bright flash of light which flickers in the sky.

All Lightning is dangerous, but the cloud-to-ground lightning is the most dangerous type of Lightning. Most cloud-to-ground Lightning strikes come from the negatively charged bottom to the cloud traveling to the positively charged ground blow.   

Lightning is approximately 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That is six times hotter than the surface on the sun.

Lightning seems to be clear white- yellow colour, but it really depends on the background. Colours of Lightning can be yellow, white, blue, purple and orange ish color.

Lightning is very cool because of the big flash it makes in the sky. Also it is cool because Lightning can make different colours. Maybe next time you should try and watch out for a big flash in the sky.

Can you please give me some feedback and also let me know what I could maybe do next time.

Coconut Raisin Bliss Balls

Coconut Raisin Bliss Balls

Today we did an experiment about how to make Coconut Raisin Bliss Balls.

Mr Breach put all the ingredients into the blender and then he pushed the button down to make it all mix together. I thought it looked a bit yuck, when it came out of the container because it was all mashed. After that, Mr Breach gave us each a spoonful of coconut raisin bliss ball.

First we had to turn it into a shape of a circle. After that we got to pick to roll it in cocoa or coconut. I chose cocoa because I don't really like coconut. After we picked our topping, we got to look at it.

It looked squishy and round and it looked like it was almost about to melt.  Then we got to smell it, it smelled like cocoa but not in a good way. I think I put too much cocoa on top of my coconut raisin bliss ball but it also smelled like toffee and coffee. After that we got to feel it, it felt really squishy it also felt like a cube shape.

Then SUDDENLY we got to have a taste… at first I just licked the coconut raisin bliss ball and when I licked it, it tasted YUCK. But after that I took a little bite in the corner of the bliss ball.  It tasted a little better, but I didn't end up eating it all up because the aftertaste was not YUM at all.  

After we got to look, smell, feel and taste I am glad that we didn't have to eat another one of them. Don’t think I could eat anymore coconut raisin bliss balls even though they sound really yummy…..they're not!
