HOBO STOVES
Yesterday we made pikelets on hobo stoves but first we had to do the butter and the mix. Each group got a bottle of cream that we made the butter with.
After that we made the mix. Each person in the group got a turn at getting and putting in the ingredients.
Then we made the pikelets. Our group pikelets were delicious with maple syrup.

TREASURE ISLAND
This story starts in the Admiral Benbow, an inn. Jim Hawkins (played by Quin) works there. Billy bones (played by Shanti ) comes to stay. He has a map. He was once a pirate, a member of Captain Flint's crew. He is visited by Black Dog (Stevie )who fights him. Then the evil Blind Pew (Sasha ) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map . He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (Charley) Squire Trelawney ( Sarah), Mr Dance ( Shannen) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollett (Makayla ) who gets Long John Silver (Madison ) to collect a crew. He is evil and one of Captain Flint's pirates. He collects all the other pirates and away they sail. On the trip Jim hears of a plot to kill them.
When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade . The baddies go in search of the treasure . An old pirate called Ben Gunn ( Zion) who has been marooned , arrives and joins the goodies . Jim takes off and sails the ship around the island. The pirates have nowhere to go. There's a big fight. The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn whom they think is a ghost of Captain Flint. Ben screams horribly..
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England
My favourite part was when Blind Pew sang a song. My favourite character was Jim who was great to his crew. My part in the show was singing. I thought the whole show was great We should congratulate Smiddy the pro  |

VOLCANOES
Volcanoes are caused by to much presure or earthquakes. Rock gets so hot it turns into magma witch is melted rock. An erupting volcano could wipe out an entire island. It is such a powerful sorce of nature
and a very deadly one.
