Dinosaur Blog

In science last week we made a mixture of a powder and water and then I added a dinosaur in the mixture. The mixture should be thick but mine was to liquidity but we added some more powder to make it less liquidity. When the mixture was hard we tried to hammer it out but it was really hard to get it out. When we got it all out we had a imprint of the dinosaur.

EOTC Week

Last week and this Tuesday the whole year 8's were going to do some activities. The thing I most enjoyed was going to adrenaline forest. It was so much fun but it was scary at times we also ended it with some of my friends playing football.  I found the hardest thing was when I was a the Omaka Scout Camp some of the activities were out of my comfort zone like the slack line and the archery. Some skill I learnt was how to balance on the slack line and how to put on an arrow properly onto the bow at archery. I learnt lots of thing about myself like some things that I didn't want to do but I still tried and was really fun. 

For the first day we went to a Marae and there were people doing speeches for us and then when did Hongi with them. Later we went to a museum and looked at some of the stuff there.

The second day we went to the Omaka scout camp and we were sorted into groups and do activities in them. It was fun but rainy we didn't do any water activities because of the rain .

The third was at the Adrenaline forest and climbed trees. For lunch we had fish and chips. After when went to Spenser Park.

If I won I would spend it on sports gear and other stuff related to football. 

Nutrition

Today we watched a video about nutrition and something i learnt was that in the old day when people were get the wheat they put it in a machine and then took the good vitamins and fed them to the cows. I would still like to learnt about how sugar makes you bad and also how to make a good and healthy meal. I was wondering about how much sugar can be in foods and drinks.

My group and I looked at some foods and drinks and saw how much sugar there is. Here are some pictures of them.

We were asked to get a item and see what colours are on the label. We chose Vitamin water and the label colours are red/ orange and white colour and have the logo on there. I think they used those colours because it was the colour of the drink and I think the put the logo on it because it's part of the company.All the pictures that are on there help you to know if what it is. It also says low calories and the favour of it which is peach and pineapple.
