Cross-country

Bang, as the race started all the year 7 girls went racing off. Ala was first after her was Pesi with the rest trailing behind.

I got to Mr Harris, he was on the reserve, I had a rest because I felt sick so he said, “Do you want to stay or keep running,” and I replied, “Keep running,” so I started running.

When I was running my legs were very sore. My face was so red that I felt like a drink of water.

After the race I felt relieved that it was done. When I got to the end of the race I felt like I was going to vomit

Frank Epperson's Invention the Popsicles.

Template: Biography

Frank Epperson invented the Popsicles, ice-blocks in 1905, thanks to Epperson's invention we can now have a tasty treat to cool us down.

Frank Epperson was born in 1894 and raised in San Fransisco, he died in 1983.When he was 11 years of age he accidentally made the ice blocks when he left his soda on the porch overnight. When he was about 29 years of age he applied for a patent for his frozen ice on stick. He sold his first ice blocks to the company Joe Lowe in New York.
Frank finally introduced his creation at the Alameda Amusement park in 1923.

Frank Epperson's invention now has lots of different flavours and are different shapes and colours. Ice blocks also cool us down on hot sunny days and is enjoyed by children all around the world. You could even make them yourself. My favorite flavour is strawberry.

The Martin Jetpack

Glen Martin invented the 'Martin Jet Pack' he named it after himself. 5000ft above sea level was how high the jetpack flew. At 2000 feet the parachute came out and helped the jetpack come to the ground safely. The jet pack can go out and save people better than a helicopter because it can go places where a helicopter can't. They tested the jetpack in Ashburton and it was piloted by a remote control with a crash-test dummy in the pilot position. They tested with the dummy first then then the person second. The jetpack uses the super fan to get it airborne.
