One Women received a very strange surprise when she cracked open her egg to find another egg inside of it.
She filmed her discovery showing everyone the remains of the first egg , the shell, the yolk and the extra egg that came out. The extra egg was smaller and was covered in something goey but after a while the women realised that the whole egg was intact. She tried cracking open the second egg and it was perfectly fine. check out the video

Do you have a fear of heights? or are you a daredevil because for those who are wanting to battle their fear of heights need to check out this , a seventy story high glass slide. The 'Sky Slide' is set to open in June this year , the sky slide is 1000 feet above the ground and it slides from the 70th floor to the 69th of the tallest building in west Mississippi. Anyone willing to slide down this would be sliding down nothing but one and a quarter inch of glass.

Apple Tower Reflection

On Tuesday in our class we got into our learning teams and we had fifteen minutes to make a tower using only straws and tape and it had to hold and apple on the top of the tower. My team decide to make a pyramid sort of thing and make a platform to put on top. It took a while to get it done and then we tested it with Michael's apple and it worked. Finally everyone put there towers on the table and Miss Williams tested them all and Ours worked . I think my team worked well together and everyone got to say their ideas. If I got do it again I would make a bigger taller one and use up all our straws . It was cool because everyone was involved and everyone had a job and no one was left out .

Holiday highlight

I jumped on the biscuit then gave dad a thumbs up and he accelerated, I started slow and got faster, then dad turned a corner . I started turning further, hitting the edge of the wake and water sprayed my face, then dad straightened up and I went off the wake but luckily I didn't tip. then on another corner dad got me off the wake and as the rope tightened I swung away from the wake and then the biscuit started tilting on its side then quickly it straightened up. I was so close to tipping but it was awesome.

In England they are trialling roads that can charge electric cars as they drive along them .
They are hoping that having these roads will increase the use of electric cars . Electric cars can not travel very far without having to charge so if they drive on these roads they will not have to stop and charge. The cars that will be using the road will need to be fitted with wireless technology and special equipment will be installed under the roads. The equipment under the road will create the voltage the car needs to charge .

Nestle has created a golden treat for Japan , a golden Kit Kat!
These bars have a thin gold layer that has a bitter chocolate taste and they are called golden sublime. There will only be 500 of these special edition gold bars in Japan and it is 24$ (nz) per finger!
I think I will be sticking to regular Kit Kats but some lucky people will be having a golden covered treat .

Who inspires me

One person who inspires me is Sir Ray Avery . He invented the life pod , an incubator that has the power to save the life of many babies . Millions of babies die each year because they do not have access to neonatal care and these babies are usually born in poor hospitals that can not afford incubators. The poor hospitals that can finally afford one usually buy one and a small part will break down and no one knows how to fix it so it is shoved into the corner and no one can use it . Ray designed one that is much cheaper and is portable and it even has backup power just in case it main power source breaks down . But what really inspires me is that he is doing to be kind , not because he wants money but because he wants to help .

I woke up in a bright white room I sat up and looked around there was nothing but a door and the stretcher I was lying on I tried to get out of the bed but I was to numb and I just crumbled to the ground so I used the bed to help me up . I shuffled along the edge of the bed to the door and I tried to open it but it was locked I looked around for another way out and I saw a small camera up near the ceiling so I shuffled over to it to have a look at it but then I hear the door being unlocked so I spun around and I saw two big men in black suits and one smaller man wedged in between ( who was obviously the important one ) , he wore a navy blue suit and had a red tie , he had dark skin and very short black hair . “ I see you’re awake” he said , he had a deep voice and looked a little scary .

“ Wh-wh-who are y-you” I said a little frightened.

The man's face softened , “You don’t need to worry , we won’t hurt you”.

“ I said, who are are you” I repeated a little more stronger .

“ Listen kid , come with me I have to explain who we are and where we are but first let’s go 
somewhere else"

WELCOME , PLEASE TYPE IN PASSWORD TO ENTER.

Suddenly a small dimmed light came on and it lit up a small Ipad embedded into the wall which displayed a small keyboard and the small text box for the password to be typed into and just below the text box were the words

You have three chances before the building goes into full lockdown.

I was never going to be able to guess the password especially without knowing who made it .

We had been learning about passwords in cyber safety and we talked about the most common passwords and why your password should be different from the rest .

I guess I could try one of the most common passwords that we talked about.

tap, tap, Tap, WRONG

damn it , it was wrong now I had two chances left so I tried another password

tap, tap, Tap, WRONG

wrong again! I was never going to get it right . I guess I could try one more time

tappity tap tap , WRONG

EEEEEEE OOOOOOO EEEEEEEE OOOOOOOO EEEEEEEE

A siren began sounding as I heard shouting from behind the door

FULL LOCKDOWN , FULL LOCKDOWN , FULL LOCKDOWN

Then some people busted through the door wearing black suits and dark glasses and they picked me up and took me through the door , The bright white lights  blinded me and I couldn’t see a thing so I kicked and shouted but they were too strong they placed me on a stretcher and I felt a prick in my arm and right away the world plunged into blackness .
