A full investigation - Putting it all together

Last week we recorded the height a ping pong ball is dropped from, and the height of the first bounce.

The equipment is: Metre ruler, ping pong, retort stand, boss head and a clamp.

We got into pares of two or three. I was with Sofia. Our science teacher gave us a 1 meter ruler and a ping pong ball.

Colour poem (cerulean)

My Cerulean Colour poem

Cerulean is a colour 
Cerulean is a blue sky
The sky is a Cerulean colour just like the ocean
Cerulean is a bright colour
In my dream the trees were Cerulean 
The walls were painted Cerulean 
My new car was Cerulean 
Look up at the Cerulean  sky once more to see the sun
The sea was a glistening cerulean today, even more beautiful than the smooth, cloudless sky.

Duck

Tera te tetahi rakiraki
Ko tamara tona ingoa

His name was donald
He was a slow duck

We made scones for cooking last week on Monday and Thursday. The first day we made scones we didnt let them cook long enough. So we decided to cook them again and they were a bit better. I did not like them because they taste like flour. Next time dont let us cook them.

Then we made pizza swirls the next Monday. I didnt try them but i bet they weren't good.
