Friday Own Choice Cooking

On Friday the 22 of June, 2018, We did a tech challenge. But it wasn't any challenge it was our own choice. My group made Cheese burgers, in my group there was Nathan.k, Tyler and Cailan. In my burger I had, lettuce, home made patty, cheese and garlic mayo. The most challenging part was to  work as a team and help each other. The best part I liked was making the patty and eating the burger.

The best part of me

My waewae are the best thing of my body.They help me run like the wind, kick a ball and do heaps of sports. The best thing I like about my waewae is that they make me stand as tall as the Empire State Building in the Big Apple. My legs are sometimes a pain when I play my sport, especially soccer but not league. My legs I hate them, I like them but I don't like getting Māmāe on them. My legs I would always never use them until now.  Now I run faster than the flash, faster than ever.  My legs are a part of my toes and my knee is a part of me. My legs have a kneecap and my kneecap feels like a rock. My legs are the best on the West. Sometimes my legs can do tricks like juggle a ball and more tricky stuff. My legs rule my feet but they hate heat.
