Des Hunt Visits Waikowhai Primary

Today, Des Hunt came to Waikowhai Primary School with his wife Lynne .  He told us about his life and he told us about his family background. He showed us an explosion because he made a fire torch look cool.  He is one of the famous authors who writes stories for children in primary to Intermediate. Des Hunts books include action, adventure and science to make his books interesting for the children. He showed us some physics with chemicals to make caps blow up into the air.  Another thing he showed us a Magic fly stick, a Magic fly stick makes a piece of plastic fly in the air but in stead of it touching the Magic fly stick it tries to go away from it. His presentation was cool because he used to have a cat but then he accidentally ran it over by his car. 

My favourite part of the presentation was when the balloon exploded.  It was my favourite part because he was winding it up and he was moving away from it exploding in his face, When it exploded it gave everyone a huge fright and it scattered on the floor and on Des Hunt. I think that it was important because it was relating to the book because he said eels grow but cats don't.

Now that I have seen the presentation I think I am going to read more of the Des Hunt books because I like action books and adventure books.  Another thing I could do is order a book online to read at home and school in my own time. I am going to think of questions to ask him on his website and go to local library's to find some Des Hunt books to take home and read.
