My Birthday Party!

Hello fellow bloggers,

On October the 2nd, it was my birthday, and I turned 11! I invited my 2 neighbors, and 2 others who were Nepali friends of mine. We together had such a blast. When we first got together, we ate some chips. Then my younger brother, Vitaraag, and the other boys played cricket while my Dad and I went to the store to buy extra things for the party. We bought flour, cornstarch, party hats and blowers, candles, the cake, etc. When my dad reached the back of the store, he found an aisle filled with masks. He told me, "choose any one you want, and I will get it for you." I was so lucky that day! After shopping for all of the extras, we headed back home and started with our first activity - making Oobleck!!


Oobleck is a non - Newtonian fluid, which basically means it not a solid, nor a liquid. If you apply a lot of pressure, it resists and feels as hard as a rock. But if you relax and rest your hand, your hand will sink right through the mixture. To make Oobleck, you will only need water and cornstarch.  Just mix them together, and add colors if you want. All of played with it for ages! When we were finished, our hands were dyed so many weird colors. The reason why I like Oobleck was because it's so gooey and sticky, but sometimes is hard and strong. It's just so addicting. When the boys finished, they went to the side of our yard and played dodge ball, while the girls continued playing with the Oobleck. Next, we went on with the other activity, which was making homemade playdough!

All we did was mix flour, water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and food coloring. It felt very nice and soft, and it was also very mouldable! Some people added way to much water, and it was a sticky mess. But we added more flour, and it went well. I loved the playdough because it felt very smooth and squishy.

After that we ate pizza, chips, chocolate, ice cream and much more. Soon enough we were playing tag, and the parents started rolling in, picking up their children. At the end, when the last person left, we looked outside at our mess, and boy was it dirty! But me and my younger brother kept playing with our Oobleck and playdough. Soon, it was night and we went to bed, feeling good about that day.


I hope you've enjoyed my recount about my birthday party, and feel free to ask a question, or give me feedback.

Child Tooth Decay is increasing

Bula Vinaka blogging world, 

Today I have read a Kiwi Kids News article about child tooth decay. Toddlers who are younger than 3 have to get all their teeth removed, because their teeth are that bad. It states that over the past 15 years, child tooth decay is increasing, from before being 4500 in hospital, to now, 7500. In my opinion, I think that this is a world tragedy, as it can affect the child's self esteem, and also ruin their future, (your smile is your future.) Families sometimes find it hard to afford oral hygiene products, so they are forced to share 1 toothbrush over all the people who have to brush in the house. Poor people are especially the big problem. Having all the unhealthy, junk food cheap in all the stores, is not only tempting, but also the easiest to afford for those who desperately need to eat. These people also can't get to the hospital in time because they most likely need to pay for transport.

The government has offered $2.5 million a year for helping young childrens oral health. 

I hope you've learnt something, and please feel free to comment on me and give me feedback and questions.


See ya'!
