My thoughts on blogging

My thoughts on blogging

           What are my previous experiences with blogging ?

• My previous experience with blogging is that it was a way to express our learning and our thoughts on that specific subject.

           How do you think blogging impacts on your learning ?

• I think blogging impacts on my learning by showing what I've learnt and getting to express it in a way where everyone can learn about what I have and even give me credit or comments on what I have completed or accomplished.

           How I feel about blogging ? why ?

• I feel that blogging is a good way of identifying what I/we have been learning and it leaves what I/we have learnt through the year and that we could come back to our blogs to look back on our hard efforts.

Haiku - Softball

I stood on home base.

Then grabbing the baseball bat.

I swung a hard hit.

I stood on the field.

With a glove tight on my hand.

My hands were ready.

I was in the line.

I was waiting for a turn.

It didn't take long.

Jack - Mmm, That's Tasty!

Mmm, That’s Tasty! by Neville Gardner

School Journal June 2012

WALT: Begin to use a range of scientific symbols, conventions, and vocabulary.

SC:      Complete a small science report on the taste + smell experiement

1. There are 5 main flavour receptors. Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Sour and Umami.

List some foods fit each of the flavour receptors.  

Bitter	Coffee cocoa powder vanilla essence
Salty	salt fish
Sour	lemon sour lollies
Sweet	lollies chocolate fruit fizzy drinks
Umami (savoury)	pie roast chicken/other roast meats

2. Record the words you didn’t know before. Add a picture or sentence to describe what they mean.

Before I did not know what Umami meant but now I know it is a category of food that is a savoury.   

WORD	MEANING
Papillae (p.26)	a small part of the tongue
Receptor (p.26 )	a organ or cell that can sense spice, sweet and other tastes and can send them to the nerve system
texture (p.25)	a feeling of something
recognise (p.28)	to know what something is

3. On Page 29, there is the great jelly bean challenge. Mrs Parker will provide you with some Jelly Beans (or other items) to complete this task.
   Use the template for a science report below to write what you did, and what you found.

Question: Do our taste buds require smell?

Hypothesis: Yes our taste buds do require smell because if you  block your nose and have something sweet you can only taste sugar.  

Materials: You need pen/pencil, paper, some jellybeans and a partner to record what you taste

Procedure:  (1)First you get a pencil and paper. (2)Then you close your eyes and block your nose. (3)Then get your partner to give you a jellybean and make sure your partner see’s what colour it is. (4)Then chew it and make sure you do not swallow it. (5)Then guess what flavour it is. (6)

Then unblock your nose and open your eye’s then guess the flavour again. (7)

Then get your partner to write what you said and then write the correct the flavour.   

Observations: First I blocked my nose and closed my eye’s then I ate a jellybean and chewed it I guessed that it was blue and then unblocked my nose and straight away I realised that it was red then we wrote what I guessed and the correct answer after it all.

Conclusion: What I guessed was wrong because after a bit of chewing I could only taste sugar so I took the closest guess I could think of.

My holiday explanation

Definition:

It was the term three two week holiday but Instead I got a four week holiday. Because of a foolish move that broke my ankle causing a lot of pain and a moon boot for 6 weeks.

Description:

The holidays is a two week break from school and to spend time with friends and family. We have three two week holidays and then one six week holiday at the end of the year.

Operations:

For these holidays it was an unpleasant break to the thanks of my broken ankle. From the day I broke it it’s been a slow ride for me.For three weeks I have been clanking around on my crutches. But after those three weeks I realized that I had the strength to walk without my crutches. Then on.... it’s been much easier to get around.

For these holidays I went up north to my mum’s she lives in Whangarei I go up there every four weeks. The people who live there is my mum my little brother and my nan. I don’t go up there very  often because  she lives far away and isn’t suitable to stay with her for more than three days.

For these holidays my big brother and I have bought a Xbox 360 with our own money. It came with a bundle of games and a controller. And for most of the holidays I have been playing it all day long.

Conclusion:

Next holidays instead of doing nothing not including the normal stuff I want to go camping or go to Waiwera for the day or something cool like that.

Dear, Matua Leighton

My name is Jack. I am very thankful for you to spend your time with the year 7 & 8s of Glenbrae School. It was a pleasure to hear what you had to say about how you got to where you are now.

The thing I found most interesting was how you went to Dilworth school and the thing I learnt was you have to work hard to get a job or to complete your goals

And again I am thankful for you to visit us and encourage us to work hard towards our goals.

Dear, Constable Andrew and Geoff

My name is Jack. I am very thankful for you and constable Geoff   to spend your time with the year 7 & 8s of room 10. It was a pleasure to hear what you had to say about how you became cops.

The thing I found most interesting was how you were both big and lost weight to achieve your goals. The thing I learnt was always have a back up plan.

And again I am thankful for you both to visit us and encourage us to work hard and not be lazy.
