Des Hunt visits Waikowhai Primary

By Anonymous -

So today Des Hunt came to visit Waikowhai primary school with his wife Lynne. He is popular for writing books for kids under twelve. He spoke to us about physics and what inspired him to write books and carry on when he got rejection letters from all the authors in New Zealand. So when he was explaining physics he showed us his  invention of a barbecue litter  but it was modified so that it will make an explosion. He brought in a magic fly stick in with a ribbon. The magic fly stick made the ribbon float in the air because it was the energy that they both had. 

My favourite part of the presentation was when he showed us how eels just keep growing and growing with a balloon. The balloon grew big as and than bang it exploded and everyone jumped and started laughing saying wow .

Now that I have seen this presentation I will try read some more of his books because they are really interesting books they are all non fiction books. If you would like to read home of his books try go to your local library and rent out one of his books.  My class is nearly finished one of his books sunken forest.

GYMNASTICS A couple of weeks ago we started Gymnastics.  Gymnastics was really cool at the start because we played stuck in the mud and octopus for a warm up. During the lesson we had to do a hand stand But if we could not do a hand stand we could do bunny hops. Doing some bunny hops was so fun because we jumped of the bench. There was other things to do like death jump,wall hand stand , bunny hops and skipping.  My favourite was when we did hand stand because we bunny hoped around the hall . The thing I didn't like was when we were doing skipping because the girls do it too much and it was annoying.
