Tamaki College- Science Road Show.

Last Friday class 5 and class 2 went to Tamaki College for a science roadshow. We had to line up at the door and wait for  someone to come and see us, this man named Shane he was short at the door but, when we went inside i couldn't believe it  he was about 6 or 7 foot tall. When we sat on chairs the presenter had to have three volunteers, so she picked Iisa, Emmy, and Anthony.

Iisa was the first one to go up iisa had to dress like a caveman, then he had to pick different kind of food and water. With a blindfold on it look hard to me. After Iisas turn Emmy was the second one to go up and do something, emmy had to blow through a little tube to test out if shes got lots of oxygen in her langs.
