Sir Edmund Hillary Interview

For my Summer Learning Journey I had to pretend I had an interview with Sir Edmund Hillary. I have to ask him 5 questions about his life and victory. Ok lets get started.

M:  So Sir Edmund Hillary is it ok for me to ask you a couple of questions.
SEH: Yes of course it is.

M: What was the date you got to the top of Mt Everest?
SEH: Well I got to the top of the mountain on May 29th 1953.

M: Did you have someone with you?
SEH: Yes it was a guy called Tenzing Norgay.

M: Did you ever think you would be the first person to climb Mt Everest?
SEH: No I did not.

M: How does it make you feel to be on the 5 dollar note?
SEH: It makes me feel proud that I achieved something that is very impressive.

Thank you for coming here today Sir Edmund Hillary and that was Maia Collins going live with Sir Edmund Hillary. (SEH)

Potato Wedges

Today I made potato wedges for lunch. 

They were extremely spicy because I added too much Cayenne pepper. 

I used Herbs, Cayenne Pepper, Potato's, Salt and pepper.

I first put all of the herbs and spices in a bowl. I then cut my potato into wedges. I then put the potato'sin a bowl and tipped in the seasoning. I then spread them on a tray they cooked for 30 mins. 

Once we ate them our mouths were on fire so I got us some juicies which is frozen juice. 

  

Why Do People Like Bubble Wrap So Much

My summary on my story from Wonderopolis:

Why Do People Like Bubble Wrap So Much.

People say that they are more alert than before after popping bubble wrap. It is also scientifically proven that fidgeting can help with stress just like popping bubble wrap. Your brain is wired to enjoy bubble wrap. Popping bubble wrap can make your muscles less tense. It also reduces stress and anxiety. The company that created bubble wrap recently discovered a bubble wrap that does not pop. It is called iBubble wrap. This came out in 2015. IBubble wrap is mainly used for shipping packages and protecting them when you have to move. Dont worry the pop able bubble wrap is still on the market. You can use bubble wrap for multiple things you can use it on your windshield to stop it from getting frosty 

Ferns

For my Summer Learning Journey I had to find 3 New Zealand sport names with fern in it.
Please comment if you know any more and if you have some feed back on how to make it better.
The female teams are the only ones to have fern in their name.

1. Black Ferns.

The Black Ferns are the New Zealand woman's rugby team. 











2. Silver Ferns.

The Silver Ferns are the New Zealand woman's netball team.

3. White Ferns

The White Ferns are the New Zealand woman's cricket team.

 My personal favourite is the White Ferns uniform because it has a fern of different colours and the pink makes the black stand out.

Our Family Fish

Kia Ora everyone this blog post is about my family fish. 

We have 2 Angel fish one is gold, yellow and the other one is black. They like to follow each other and often fight. They both have very little tails from when they fight their tails get bitten off. 

We have 1 Gourami which is golden brown. Gourami's have 2 long tentacle like things. Our Gourami likes to hide behind the big piece of wood at the back.

2 Black Widows which usually follow each other around the tank. Black Widows are stripy fish. They are also very small.

We have 2 types of corydora and 1 fish from each type. We have 1 Emerald Corydora and 1 Pepper Corydora. Corydoras are a type of catfish.

We have 2 White Spot Pleco they can grow to the maximum size of 2.4 inches. that is quite long.

We have 1 Loach which looks like a cheetah. It is like a cheetah fish. 

We do not name our fish or else we come to attached to them and then it is extremely hard when they die and we have to get rid of them.
