ANZAC biscuits

Today my mum and I made some ANZAC biscuits. My favourite part was sneaking some of the mixture and eating it (YUM). It was hard making them into balls because it was very crumbly. Have you ever made ANZAC biscuits? This is a picture of one of the ANZAC biscuits.   ⇩

                                

Hang on!

It all happened so quickly! One minute I was standing on the platform, the next I was hurtling through the air, hanging on for dear life… I realized I was in a dollhouse and a giant lifted me up and was tilting the house. I had to hold on to the nearest thing that wouldn’t slide around the house. I  couldn't hold on for long enough so I had to let go. I  fell right through a window onto the giant's leg.  When I was on the giant’s leg I moved a bit  and the giant felt me on his leg. I was really scared. I  tried to run away but the giant kept on following me. I quickly ran around the corner but then the giant’s cat saw me. The cat started chasing me, so then there were two huge things chasing me. Thankfully a mouse ran in front of the cat. The cat got distracted and was chasing the mouse not me. And then  the giant’s mum called “dinner time” and then he had to go, then I ran away. Happily-ever-after. THE END

Helen Thayer

Helen Thayer was the first woman to travel solo to the magnetic North Pole. She only went with all the things she was going to need and a dog. The dog was called Charlie. He was part wolf. Helen brought Charlie with her in case a polar bear was going to attack.
She was born on the 12th of November 1937 in Whangarei, New Zealand.
Helen was looking for a sponsorship before she went. Everyone told her she couldn’t go because she was a girl and she needed a man to go with  her. Her parents were the only people who told her that she can do anything that she wanted to do. People also told her, “polar bears are going to eat you, you will drown in the ocean or fall in the ice”. She didn't listen to any of them and she did it and survived.  This is a picture of Helen and Charlie.
