Doing    

I didn't do it but i got my friend on video. It make some sort of reaction and the fire went slowly. The fire started small and got bigger by the minute. It had smoke coming out of it after it had stopped. It smelt like burning gas and burning hair.,  and It looked yellow and orange. Here Is the video of my friend Lauren lighting her hands on fire.  

Explaining  

Why Did we tie our hair up ?

We tied our hair up so it did not catch on fire. If we had our hair out it would burn of and

would take 1 or 2 years to grow back on our head. 

why did we wet our hands ?

We wet our hand because when you mix water and fire together water will win. It made a layer of protection so we would not get scarred or burnt.

Why did we take our loose clothes of ?

If we did not take our loose clothing of it would burn all over us and we would be burned or scarred for life. 

Why were we scared ?

we had adrenalin rushing through our body. Now What Is Adrenalin ? 

Orana Park

Last Week on Monday the year 7s & 8s went to Orana Park to learn about how most of our animals are endangered. On Friday we had to make thank you letter for orana park and for the warehouse. We were put into groups I was with my friend Natalia & Kyra. We had 2 lunch breaks. Here are some photos of what animals we saw. 

Here is the Letter I wrote... 

Dear Orana Wildlife park

I really want to thank you for an amazing day. You have taken your time to take Hornby High school year 7 & 8 students for a tour around Orana Park and explaining why these animals are endangered.  

I Enjoyed it I would Love to come back.  As this was my first time coming to Orana park I don't have much to compare it to other trips But I can sure say this was an amazing lifetime experience. One Of my favorite animals that I saw was the Cheetahs, As they are cute and there Coats are Amazing.

I learned that zebras strips are not all the same which means that they are one of a kind, I mean how amazing is that. I also learnt That many animals are endangered which means WE NEED TO SAVE THEM

( stop the litter ). My Favorite part was when the little gibeon was being so noisy.

Yours Sincerely Kasey.
