There was a toaster that could toast two slices of bread at a time but only one side at a time each side takes 30 seconds. You want to toast 3 pieces of bread which would normally take two minutes. Find out how to reduce this time to one minute thirty seconds. Answer is in the comments section

From Monday till yesterday I went on a music camp to Totara springs. The first day involved getting everything into the cabins which slept eight each and setting everything up for where we were going to practise,which for me was the auditorium, for senior band the lecture theatre and for choir the chapel. Then we started practising for about two hours until it was time for afternoon tea. During that time I went for a swim in the mineral pool and had afternoon tea which was on all days either (you could choose) an apple a banana or an orange. after that it was more practise until dinner. Again I went for a swim but I can’t remember what was for dinner. Then more practise then another swim and bedtime at ten o’clock.

The next day I got woken up at six and had breakfast at seven thirty then I went for a swim and we started practising again till morning tea. I had another swim but then while we we were practising my face started hurting so I had no more swims that day. then it was lunch then practice then afternoon tea then practise and then the big concert and then bed.The next day was our fun and last day where I went on the hydro slide and when i get photo’s I will put them on here. Why I went was because I play the trumpet.

Every autumn we make apple juice with our friends. They get apples in big bins from sunfruit. First we get the tractor to carry the apples to the dairy shed on their farm.Then all the apples go through a garden shredder and into big bins. We then load the shredded apples into a pneumatic press which can press about 600-700 litres of juice from one ton of apples. Then we pump the juice in to some big 200 litre (50 gallon) drums for storage. We then pour the juice into a heated drum where it gets heated to 78′C and from there we pour it into 14 litre (3.5 gallon) bags. After that we take the bags home and drink it and I can’t wait till we make apple juice again next year.
