The Sun and Us

A Totally Normal Skiing Trip

 It was a freezing morning and I was getting ready to go skiing. I got my equipment and started to drive to the mountain where the skiing place is. One thing I didn't know is that there is a volcano there and it was closed because it had erupted overnight. We drove for 5 minutes and when we got there I saw all the boiling hot lava streaming out of the volcano. I ran under the caution tape and got my camera out and started filming. The lava got to the bottom and it started to turn to magma on the snow. It started to turn black and it was so cool I wanted to touch it. I was so interested that the magma got right up to my feet and it was going really fast now. I got back in the car with my camera and drove away as fast as the little wheels could go. When I got home I was so excited and scared at the same time. The magma was getting closer to my house and I had to drive away. I had a really dumb idea to drive through the magma so I go in my car and closed all the windows and doors. I counted to three. 1…..2…..3…. GO! I sped through the magma as fast as I could and when I got to the end and away from the magma I was sweating. The magma burned my house so I built a new one and I never saw the volcano again.

 

THE END!

Marshmallow Earth On A Stick

 Today Sharon's Kaiawhina group was working with Urmi and we were making earth with marshmallows.

First we put a m&m inside of the marshmallow. Next we put it on a skewer and Urmi and Becky covered them in melted chocolate. Then we went outside and waved it around until the chocolate was dry and after we went inside and cracked the chocolate on the outside to represent the tectonic plates.

The chocolate represents the crust/tectonic plates.

The Marshmallow represents the mantle- the hottest part of the earth.

The crust on the m&m is the outer core -liquid iron nickel.

The chocolate in the m&m is the inner core-solid iron nickel.

This is my marshmallow
