Orana Park

On Monday last week we went to Orana Park for a school trip. It was nice day the sun was shining on us. We were learning about the animals well being and where they lived. There we saw some endangered animals, there was Tigers, Sliver Back Gorillas, White Rhinos, Lions and Giraffes. It sad to think they are endangered because of us. The Gorilla's habitat is being demolished due to mines digging up a tiny pace of metal for phones. Other animals are losing their homes because of palm oil because it is use in everything from conditioner to food products, it has many different names. Here are some photos of the animals we saw.

Doing

Being set on fire was very scary the sudden heat burning your hands, the bright as the sun flames leaping up into the air, the terrifying black smoke lingering on the roof slowly disappears. Then as quickly as it starts if dies as you move your hands apart.

Explain

I wet my hands because fire and water do not mix so you do not burn. We roll up our sleeves to make sure not to burn our clothes. I was scared because of the adrenaline running though me as the fire started. Adrenaline is an old reaction it has been in us since we where in the stone age, the fight or fight of survival. Why don't fire burn in a circle? Fire burns upwards because the fire is made of gas and it is lighter than air and so the air pushes the fire upwards.
