How do people make chocolate?

How do people make Chocolate?
Ingredients
Nibs
Milk
Cocoa Beans
Lecithin
Sugar

Firstly people find cocoa beans in warmer zones around the equator such as Africa.

Then when they finish collecting it from the trees, they ship it off to other countries. Then when it’s shipped off and and the cocoa beans are ready, they spread it out and clean it. When it’s cleaned and the shells are broken, only leaving the cocoa nibs.

Once the cocoa nibs are grounded, it only leaves the chocolate mass. When the chocolate mass task is done, it is used to make cocoa powder and cocoa butter.

Once these ingredients are blended with sugar, milk and lecithin, they are carefully blended in a monitored large tank. After that the chocolate is formed into block bars and then it is ready to be shipped off. But before they make chocolate, they make sure the chocolate is heated in the task called tempering. Once it is tempered, they it can be created in chocolate figures or used for lots more.

Fact:
Milk and Dark Chocolate are made by mixing together all these ingredients and lots more. Also white chocolate does not include cocoa mass and cocoa powder, it only includes cocoa butter.

Rebels or Freedom Fighters

Rebels or Freedom Fighters?
Rebels or Freedom Fighters? What is your opinion? My opinion is that freedom fighters are better, and for a example  why freedom fighters are better, Nelson Mandela right? first he was named Rolihlahla which means troublemaker. Everyone saw him as a rebel around 1948 and 1994 . Do you want to know why he was called a rebel? Because South Africa’s system of government called apartheid,were ruled by white people and non-white people were treated like slaves.But then Nelson put a end to that.  When he  put a end to apartheid, people saw him as a freedom fighter.Then  when his actions improved he became a civil rights leader.


More and more people became rebels or freedom fighters but both of them have differences. You see? Rebels disobey  and don’t go by the rules but Freedom Fighters  fight for their rights of  freedom and sometimes their protests have violence in it . But a Freedom Fighter named Gandhi, had no conflict in his protests and only a few people got hurt. He was sent to jail a lot of times but it was for India’s rights. Lots of freedom fighters succeeded and everyone was treated equal.

First Light: The History of Telescopes

Satellites

Satellites
Satellites are used for different types of reasons, for a example navigation, communication, weather, research and many more. They are  used to collect information from another planet in order for communication. There are also different kinds of Satellites like Astronomy Satellites, Atmospheric Studies Satellites, Communication Satellites, Navigation Satellites, Observation Satellites, Space Exploration Satellites, Remote Sensing Satellites, Search and Rescue Satellites and Weather Satellites. Some Satellites are used for important causes for military  and human spacecraft.

Satellites were invented on October 4 1957 when the Soviet Union launched off the first satellite named Sputnik. Sputnik in Russian means fellow traveler or companion. But no one knew  who had invented the first human made object in space. The first two  communication active satellites were  launched in space in 1962 by United States . These two satellites received radio signals from Earth and  increased the signals before re-transferring  them back to Earth. The development of the radio signals were more reliable and long-lasting by unresisting satellites.

Life in the Trenches

Life in the Trenches
WALT: Write a journal on a real event

Tuesday July 1 1915

As I was running I was shot on the leg , blood dripped down on the ground. I was frozen from what just happened . I saw the dead soldiers on the ground, I was tired and cold. I couldn’t run I was wounded . I hit the horrific hard ground and screamed in agony .

1 hour later….
A soldier came by and helped me up . He noticed I was suffering and took me to the nurse . But when we got there blackness was all I could see .


Wednesday July 18 1915

I woke up and I saw soldiers wounded on hospital beds with nurses looking after them . I tried to get up but my strength was no use . All I saw was bandages on my leg and blood everywhere . A nurse came up to me and gave me medicine to swallow.  After that I was dizzy and I slept.


Friday July 20 1915

I woke up and the nurse said I was fine and I was in coma for 2 days .She said I would be fine and go out there to serve our nation. So I walked out grabbed my weapons and went out to the battlefield. I hid in the bushes and made sure no one saw me . When one soldier  was standing there I threw a blade and he was dead . I made sure no one saw me and crawled on the ground. I noticed the rivals weren’t looking properly . I got my bomb and threw it and ran . BOOM!!! I checked if it was clear and entered .
5 hours later….
I was running for my life and shot a soldier and then found a Australian soldier wounded . I picked him up and took him to where soldiers are taken care of. After I did that I went back to War.


Sunday 24th July 1915

I ran and ran until I reached my destination and check if there are any soldiers . As I was checking I spotted a soldier hiding in a bush and I shot him and he yelped in pain . I was in trouble  when he yelped . So I shot the other soldier with my rifle and they called backup . But before they could call other soldiers and I made sure they were distracted and I ran as fast as my legs could carry me . A soldier saw this and snapped out of his gaze and got out his pistol and shot one of my friends . As soon as I saw this it was time for revenge . So I got out my steyr mannlicher gun and shot the soldier,I  picked up Derek my best friend and ran .


Monday  25 July 1915

I got Derek to the nurse , he thanked me for saving his life . The nurse said he can not walk for 5 weeks and has to go back to NZ . I was shocked at first but it was for his own sake . He was crying and told me good luck and he said ‘’ I will tell your parents that you have honoured NZ .’’


Tuesday 26  July 1915

After Derek left the nurse I ran and ran and  my legs were out of energy . One of my mates David F.A was running for his life and shot the soldier behind me . I panicked, because blood was everywhere and dead bodies were lying on the ground . My Mother was right all along, it wasn’t fun or exciting . I shot the soldier in the bushes and looked for shelter . My energy was drained . I was cautious for any rivals and silence was all I could hear. I caught a soldier and waited for the right time to attack him . I took out my rifle and aimed and took a shot . I jumped up the tree and hid there and sleep  took over me.  


Wednesday 30 July 2015

I saw the sunlight coming up and knew soldiers are  coming. I waited and waited until I saw 2 soldiers . I got out my rifle and shot both of them . I climbed down the tree and made sure there was no rival soldiers watching me . I tiptoed to the fence and jumped off. But someone saw me and shot me in the chest. I laid down and waited for hours for someone to save me. But as soon as a NZ soldier came to save my life I was surrounded by blackness and darkness took over me.

This book is for people who love mystery and fiction and I thought of this book like my own imaginary mystery that people are left to find out. So I couldn't decided which part was my favorite because it was really  fascinating. I rate this book 5 out of 5. 8.
