Mitchell's - 40 Hour Famine!

Hey bloggers! If you didn't know a few weeks ago the Year 5 & 6 Extension group, as well as the Year 7 & 8 Extension group had the amazing opportunity to take part in this years 40 Hour Famine. It is run by World Vision every fundamental year.

All money raised goes towards helping the country of the year. Last year my extension group fund raised for Syria and I think we also did it this year for Syria too. It takes part between June the 9th - June the 11th of 2017.

On the night of June the 9th the extension student's bought things such as blankets, pillows, beanbags, mattresses, Just Juice, and Barley Sugars. Also if you didn't know we were having a sleepover and we are not allowed to eat or drink - except from Just Juice and Barley Sugars, because that is apart of the campaign.

We all slept in the library. One side for the girls, and one side for the boys. After we set up our stuff we all gathered in the hall to have a meeting about what we were going to do. Also we are put into groups depending on which colour you wanted to be in.

Me and my friends were in Team Green, while my sister and other participants were in groups such as Team Blue, Team Red, and Team Yellow. It was really competitive. We were going to have lots of fun.

Our groups had so much fun because you have to dance to a song your whole group decides on. We choose the Beyonce classic - Single Ladies to make a comedy and also to entertain everyone.

After that we did something really important. We were at the sleepover for a reason and also to raise money for the people in Syria. We turned off all of the lights in the hall and lay down on the ground to feel like what it would feel like for Syrian kids who have nowhere to go.

Anyways after all of that we got to have freetime. We had 4 options. To watch a movie, hangout in the library, hangout in the hall, or play games in Creative Space - (ICT - Computer Lab). Me and my friends went around the place.

Soon after 2 - 3 hours it was getting late. We then all went to sleep at 10:00.

The next morning everyone was very tired. Also it was a Saturday morning and everyone then eventually went home. Unfortunately I only fast 20 hours as I was really hungry. Also my sister did 20 hours too.

Well that's it! Have you ever done a famine?

Making Slime!

Hey bloggers! Today me and my sisters were very bored. Watching TV, Playing games whatever. Well then we decided to make Slime! We asked our mum and dad and they said yes! So we left in the car to the $2 dollar shop to get some ingredients.

We got 3 bottles of glue from the $2 dollar shop in Glen Innes called "Super Saver". We got 3 bottles because my other sister was at a sleepover. Then we went to Pak'n'Save to buy some Shaving Cream and Food Colouring. Lastly we went to Martha's Backyard to get some Laundry Detergent for our Slime activator. Also Tide is a American Laundry detergent brand and also is the most popular laundry detergent in the USA.

Here is 1 slime recipe we made up: - I took this photo and also edited it. This is my sister's bubblegum slime.

You will need:

1 bottle of glue - ( 4 - 8 oz)
3 - 5 pumps of body lotion - optional
1/2 cup of Shaving cream - If you want fluffy slime
Food colouring - If you want colour
Scents - Bubble gum flavour
Laundry detergent - (Only Tide will work) - You can buy tide from Martha's Backyard.

Instructions: First add the glue into a bowl - the amount of glue you put in, will be the size of your slime
Then if you have food colouring add it now and mix.
Then mix in your lotion - optional and shaving cream - optional.
Then add any some bubble gum scent into your slime.
Then you will need to add the slime activator into your mixture.

Add bits of laundry detergent into your slime. As you can see it will start to thicken and that is when you will need to knead with your hands. There you go that's how you make bubble gum slime.

Now I will show you how to make blueberry fluffy slime!

1 bottle of glue - ( 4 - 8 oz)
3 - 5 pumps of body lotion - optional
1/2 cup of Shaving cream 
Food colouring - If you want colour - blue is the colour of the laundry detergent
Scents - Blueberry flavour
Laundry detergent - (Only Tide will work) - You can buy tide from Martha's Backyard.

First add the glue into a bowl - the amount of glue you put in, will be the size of your slime
Then if you have food colouring add it now and mix.
Then mix in your lotion - optional and shaving cream.
Then add any some blueberry scent into your slime.
Then you will need to add the slime activator into your mixture.

Here some pictures of our slime in the making!
