Reflection on muesli making

 Reflection on muesli making 

For the past 5 weeks when the year 7 and 8s where away at tech we researched different  muesli and what ingredients that they had in them  so that we could get a good idea of  what nutritional things we could put our muesli on the same day we also looked at the nutritional value. 

Then we made our recipe with the notes we made that might make a good muesli we worked on making our recipe for about two days then we designed our box ( i wasn't there that day so I cant explain much about that part ) Then ( on the day i wasnt sick anymore) we decorated and made our muesli boxes stand out. 

The next week we bring our ingredients to school and started making our muesli. I changed the recipe a little and I replaced the apricots with cranberries. I don't think I would change any thing, i tasted good and I  think that's the main thing. 

fly me up

 

 Today we did a key word find from the book fly me up it was all about flags and how this woman went to Nepal saw the prayer flags and had an inspiration to do the same with the children who lost their homes in the chch earthquake except the children would right their wishes on the flag so i hope you enjoy it

limericks

 limericks  

there once was a cowboy named  bun 

who never went out in the sun 

he purchased a cat 

hit it with a bat

and had a whole lot of fun

there once was a dog named frog 

who had a habit of drinking egg nog 

his breath was so stinky 

that he went all blinky 

and then fell in a bog 

Hi everybody today we did limericks as writeing I hope you like them I found them quite hard.You might have noticed that all the other poems we where doing have the rimeing scheme of AABB and this one has AABBA and has five lines.

octopus information report

 Introduction: 

Today my group did a poster about octopus. Octopuses are amazing creatures they can blend into their surroundings in a blink of an eye and they can do different things at a time they are also great escape artistes. In this information report you will find out where they live,what they eat,what species there are and so on.These creatures are extremely smart you will learn more about it as you read through.

Report:

Habitat: Octopuses live in many different places under the ocean. Octopus live in kelp forests and coral reefs.octopus tend to prefer warmer waters,meaning they live in the sunlight zone.They also live in tidal rock pools where they can disguise them self's easily.octopus have no skeleton so they can squeeze into small and tight spaces.

Prey: Octopuses eat a lot of different sea creatures.Octopus feed on crabs,clams,snails,small fish and other octopus,octopus are one of the most intelligent creatures in the ocean when it comes to catching prey.Octopus have venom and different octopus have different levels of toxicity which means they can kill their pray easily.

Species: There are 300 species of octopus,for example:mimic octopus,coconut octopus,blanket octopus and Californian two spot octopus.Some species of octopus are rarer than others different species live in different environments such as the pressure as you get deeper .Here are some other types of octopus:blue ringed octopus,giant pacific octopus,common octopus and Caribbean octopus.

Predators: Octopus have a range of predators. Here are some predators of octopus: seals,fish,conger eels,dolphins,many birds,sperm whale and sharks.Octopus have clever ways to defend themselves. They swim headfirst and in times of danger can expel out of the water.

Conclusion:Octopuses are clever 8 legged, 3 heart and 4 brained animals that live underwater.That have around  300 ancestors.Are by far near the top for smartness.
