It wasn't that bad to be honest it was alright.

Blenheim

Today I am going to Blenheim for a basketball tournament. I am playing for Canterbury at the nz tournament. It is a four three day tournament were we play two games a day excluding the finals. I'm going  up with a team of 9 and  we have been training every Sunday for five weeks. Hopefully we win the whole thing.

Something I've learnt

This week I learnt how to use a sewing machine at technology. Firstly you tu n it on at the wall then you out turn it on on the machine, then you line the material up with the foot and pull the foot down to compress the materials, lastly they out push for fut down to make the needle go(push harder for faster and softer for slower). Stair the material with your hands, like a car.

Mrs dellaca bought the team an ice cream.

My speech topic is about why people shouldn't use their cellphones while in public. I am onto the third 
Aragraph about how it is rude and sends people a message you don't want to be with them. All I have to do is finish the third paragraph and the conclusion

Tech

At tech this week I made pinwheel scones, first we added flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix it together, we then added soft butter and moxed to feel like bread crumbs. Next we made the cinnamon mixture, first we added melted butter, brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon then mixed it together we made this mixture about three times to fit our doug,. We then spreaded it on the dough and rolled it up then cut it into pieces. I had 8 scones and they were delicious. Our group then went to the field I bought stuff from the canteen. Then we went to science an played with Bunsen burners. We set magnesium on fire and it lit up like the sun and it hurt my eyes. Lily burnt her thumb in the Bunsen burner.
