My portrait

Today at Technology we have learnt how to create a portrait of ourselves using Photo Shop. We took a photo of ourselves on Photo Booth and uploaded it on to photo shop. We then started decorating the out lines of our face and our school uniform, we then filled in some colors to make it look cool and look like we are a cartoon character

Limericks

There once was a clown that shouted out loud
As she turned around Staring at the crowd
That said “you're dumb go and call your mum”
she cried all day long and  then stared at a cloud  
Finally she settled down with a pack of strawberry gum

There once was a man called Jack
who always carried a back pack
with his big hands made a loud clap
that woke up everyone and earned him a hard tap
That foolish man called Jack

Bottle Blowing Experiment

Hypothesis:
The sound of air pitches at different levels when blown into different air spaces.

Materials:
1.Empty Juice bottles of different sizes.
2.Water
3.Air

Procedure:
1. Arrange the empty juice bottles according to sizes from smallest to largest.
2. Blow air into each bottle and listen to the pitch of the sound.
3. Then fill the juice bottles with water to the levels marked on the bottle
4. Blow air into each bottle and listen to the pitch of the sound

Results:
The smallest bottle made a high pitched and the big bottle made a low pitch sound. On each bottle the line to fill the water to was at a different level. I learnt that the smaller the bottle is the louder the pitch  gets and the bigger the bottle the lower the pitch  gets.

Conclusion:
From this experiment I proved my hypothesis correct which was that sound of air pitches at different levels when blown into different air spaces.

The Rock Warriors

Many years ago in the olden days on the Ngongotaha mountain, there were two tribes. It was pretty, and a nice place to be.The leader of the Patupaiarehe used magic to turn the giants of tipua forest  into rocks  because the giants were attacking the Patupaiarehe people.When the leader of the Patupaiarehe used magic to change the giants into rocks the giants couldn’t attack the people of the patupaiarehe anymore. Some people say that on a sunny day or a cold day they can hear the rock warriors moaning all the time because they are fighting over something.

The rock warriors are the people that always moan, twenty four hours every single day, because it’s over something that must be very special to them.

When the patupaiarehe went walking in the forest the giants of tipua saw them and tried to attack them because they were walking through their forest.The giants of tipua are really big and scary but the  patupaiarehe does not care because the leader of the patupaiarehe has a spell that can change them into rocks.

The next day the tipu war party marched through the mamaku forest towards Ngongotaha.The Patupaiarehe people became very scared.They asked their leader to save them with his magic spell to change the giants of tipu into rocks.The giants were so mean and very bad their attitude was not nice at all, they always love to attack the Patupaiarehe people.

Milo,Molenberg and Milk

Today Room 7 went to Pak’nSave to learn about food labels.We took the bus it was warm and cosy and it was fantastic in there.When we arrived at Pak’nSave we had to get into a group of fives and wait for Ainslie the Food for Thought teacher to tell us what section we go to. My group teacher was Ms Anderson. The first section the group went to was the Dairy section.We had to find food that is made with dairy in it like coloured milk, cheese and yogurt. There were so many types of dips, cream cheese and sliced cheeses too.
The next section was to move onto the breakfast and cereals.The cereal that I picked was Nestle Milo. We had to look at the energy from Milo.  It was 490.kJ,sugar was 8.29g,Fat was 1.4g Dietary Fibre was 2.3g and the Sodium was 36.mg. We discovered that Milo is high in sugar. When we finished looking at the breakfast and cereals.The next section was to move on to bread and we had to choose one of them and look at the per 100g.One of each kid in the group gets a turn to get things we need and I was the one that needs to pick the bread I picked Molenberg bread because that's the kind of bread my family gets.

Energy	Fat,Total	Sugar	Dietary Fibre	Sodium
902 kj	1.5g	2.5g	5.0g	430 mg

The muesli bar that we picked was Choc Rainbow Bubble Bar.

Energy	Fat,Total	Sugar	Dietary Fibre	Sodium
1710 Kj	10.5g	27.6g	0g	227mg

The muesli bars surprised me because the Dietary Fibre was 0.g.
At the end of our fun and fabulous trip before we went back to school our class got a $60.00 voucher for being really good.Our teacher said we can get healthy food for our lunch at school I wish our class can go back again.
