Rainbow's End!

The amusement area is for ages so let's start off with the Children's area. There is an area named, "Kidz Kingdom" and it has plenty of rides that are for ages 9 and under. They're fun and joyful rides and definitely a way to put a smile on a child's face. These types of rides are roller coasters that are short but certainly sweet and they take you to a whole new world of fun.

Walht: Write an explanation with has elaboration to inform and interest our reader audience.

Rainbow's End is a Theme Park or an entertainment center for families and children. It is located in Manukau, Auckland New Zealand. The theme park was designed with rides, shops, arcade areas and stages.

People commonly know Rainbow's End for their amusing rides that are suitable and definitely fun for all ages. However, we need to learn that safety always comes first. These are some ways that show the rides are checked to be safe. All rides are supervised and checked by staff members. The staff members are behind a box, they are controlling the ride and making sure it is in good shape. This will help them make sure that people are safe on the ride and not close to falling off. A staff member's job is to also go around to check if the seat-belts are secured and tightly locked onto the people.  

 

A summer day to remember! 🌤

It was a Saturday Morning and I was awoken by the devastatingly bright light shining from the sun
shining into my face. If the sun hadn't woken me up I would've still been dead asleep by midday.
But as I woke up, the rest of the household was also awake. I clicked and remembered that it was
Saturday which meant we were getting ready to head off to a beach trip my whole extended family
had planned. I was certainly happy about what was in stock for that day since the past weeks had
been sizzling and so hot. Going to the beach was perfect.

Quickly but carefully I packed my bags with a couple of change and toiletries making sure I had
everything I needed in my bag. Sunscreen was the one thing I certainly needed and was a must on
my list. I didn't want to burn in the sun.

As soon as everyone finished packing their things we all headed into the car ready for a long trip
to Brown's Bay which is in North Shore. It takes about an hour and a half to make it there. As we drove
we stopped at the Bakery to have breakfast. Bakery isn't really a breakfast we are known for
eating everyday, it just seemed that it was a faster access to a breakfast that would keep us full for
quite a long ride.

For me the long ride was definitely not one of my favourite rides. It was long and with the weather
being really hot, it didn't make anything better especially with all our bags packed into the car barely
giving us space to move our arms! Although there would've been no other way we could make it to the
beach where the water could cool us down. Like they say, "Difficult roads can lead to a beautiful
destination" in this case the beautiful destination is the beach.

Finally as we made it to the beach, we took the bags out of the car and carried them over to our
family who had already made it there before us. We laid out our mats and put out chairs and put out
canopies which became very useful during the day. My dad and my uncles went straight on with
cooking the BBQ which everyone was keen about. The adults all prepared food and it smelt delicious.
When the adults finished preparing food and the children got bored of playing in the sand, our family
gathered together and had a feast. But first, we said our food grace in our language and ate the
scrumptious food.

As we finished eating, we waited a little while to digest our food before we swam. Swimming was fun
but I most definitely enjoyed spending time under the sun with my family and having time to interact
with them.

Rosa Parks 🙏

Rosa Parks 🙏

Rosa Parks was an activist in the Civil Rights movements. She was known for refusing to give up her seat to a white man. This took place on the Montgomery city bus in Alabama in 1955. She also helped commence the civil rights movement in the United States and she became part of the large African-American Community. During this time the black and white people were separated and the blacks were treated very differently and were only told to do specific things, for example they could only attend certain schools, could only drink from certain water fountains and they could only borrow books from the "black" library, among their restrictions. It was a Thursday when Parks was coming home from a long day of work, on the Montgomery bus. The law was that the front seats on the bus were always reserved for the white people and the seats behind were for the black citizens. A white man had no seat to take in the bus at because the white section because was all taken. The driver told the four riders in the front row of the "coloured" section to move for the white man to sit there. Three of the passengers obeyed, but Rosa didn't. Eventually two police officers approached her and placed her in custody.  In her biography she recalled that people said she was tired. Her reply was that she wasn't tired physically but she the only tired she was, was tired of giving in to others. She is a virtuous leader because she was thoughtful, courageous and most importantly she stood up for her rights and the rights of others.

Chelsea Buns!

During Tech today in cooking class, we were working on making bread. Some made bread rolls, some made chelsea buns and others made Maori bread. Here is the following steps on how to make Chelsea Buns.

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup warm water
• ½ tsp sugar
• 2 tsp Edmonds active yeast
• 3½ cups Edmonds high grade flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• ¾ cup warm milk
• 3 Tbsp melted butter

Filling:

• 50g of butter, softened
• ½ of brown sugar
• 1 tsp of cinnamon

First we had one separate bowl and added together the warm water, the active yeast and the sugar. We stirred it together and then placed the mixture in the warming drawer which is located underneath the oven/stove.

While the yeast was creating a frothy mixture in the drawer, we sieved together the dry ingredients which was the flour, the salt and the sugar. Next, we made a well in the dry ingredients and added the melted butter along with the milk and the frothy yeast mixture. We mixed it up well and incorporated the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until it becomes a ball of dough.  

Then we dusted a flat surface with a flour shaker so the dough does not stick to the surface. We then kneaded the dough until it became a soft dough. We grabbed out the rolling pins and rolled the dough until it became a soft, thin rectangle. We brushed on the rest of the melted butter and added the filling which contained of cinnamon and brown sugar. The next step was to roll it up into a long roll and cut it up into medium sized pieces.

After that we placed it in the oven at 200 degrees until it was golden brown. The aroma of Chelsea buns filled the room when it was cooked and the students were ready to take their food back to school and devour the delicious baking.
