TRICK PHOTOS

 

We have been reading a book called " Tas and the Caves of Doom". In the book the person took photos of a background and then a photo of themselves and then added themselves into the background photo.

We had a go and this is the end result, we are quite clever!!!

The story was also a pick a path story, so we added our picture into the story line.

The story also had MUD MEN mentioned, we researched who they were and where they lived. Luke would like to be a mud man but Kate, Siena and Nivae would not like to be one.

Do you know where MUD MEN are from?

Marmite Shortage

 There is a shortage of marmite in New Zealand.
Some people on Trademe are selling Marmite jars for up to $800. One person is selling a jar with only 1/3 of the marmite left for $4.50.
Lots of people love marmite so they are very sad there is a shortage.
There is a shortage of marmite because the factory in Christchurch got damaged in one of the earthquakes. There may not be anymore marmite until July.
Sanitarium, who make the marmite, are telling people to spread it thinly on their toast and sandwiches.
Some people are calling marmite "BLACK GOLD". This is because marmite is black and expensive just like gold.

Four brave people rang four Christchurch supermarkets to ask if they still have marmite left in their shops -
  Ben rang Halswell New World - They have been sold out since last Friday.
Hamish rang Riccarton Countdown - They have no marmite left and people were buying more than one jar yesterday.
Charlotte rang Morehouse Ave Pack and Save - They don't have any marmite left anymore. They did have some yesterday.

Nivae rang Barrington Fresh Choice - They have no more marmite left. They haven't had any marmite more a few days

This is Ben eating a "BLACK GOLD" sandwich

we wonder if...

1.   people will start eating vegemite instead of marmite? 
2.  What will people eat instead of marmite?
3. Will marmite cost more when they start to make it again?

 Please send us a comment or answer our poll about marmite.
