Does the colour of food effect whether we can identify the flavour?

For the past week or 2 we have been researching for a science fair topic to work on The topic that I have chosen for the science fair is, DOES THE COLOUR OF FOOD AFFECT WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN IDENTIFY THE FLAVOURS? We havent finished our research but there is a way to test if the coulour of food effects our liking of food, for instance we can make a blueberry muffin and colour it orange or make purple banana muffins or green white chocolate. So there are possible ways to test the liking of a certain coloured foods.  

We are going to be planning out our equipment for our baking process which we will be doing next week Monday.

Leadership within my school.

For the past couple of days we have been working on our leadership within my school and there are a lot of leaders within this small school called Bay Of Islands College. The topic that we have been working on is about writing down every leader from the top to the bottom in a family tree type of way.  I have learnt that there are a lot of leaders and that it isn’t just students and teachers, but it turns out students are the lowest part of the leader chain. This topic we have been doing supports my learning because now I know who to respect and it also helps me learn more and more about this school. This topic changes my point of view because if I become prefect I will get  a higher level of respect in way and it will also force me to become a better leader towards my peers and family. This topic overall was quick and easy to do and it didn't take up much research to find who the top person is.

Leadership speech

 At the start of term 2, we were given an assignment to do and that was a leadership speech, to present in front of the whole class. I reckon I gave good points to become a leader and how to be a better one. The hard part was actually writing the speech due to so much research to find information on what a leader is, but the easy part was actually presenting my speech because it’s just  talking which is what I do everyday so that was easy. The grade I got was excellent so I obviously did something right to get that grade on my speech.   And now here is one of the quotes from my speech. 

Patient and steady with all she must bear

Ready to meet every challenge with care

Easy as manner, yet solid as steal

Strong in his faith, refreshingly real

Isn’t afraid to propose what is bold

Doesn’t conform to the usual mold 

Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do 

Never backs down when she sees what is true

Tells it all straight, and means it all to

Going forward and knowing he's right

Even when doubted for why she would fight 

Over and over he makes his case clear

Reaching to touch the ones who won't hear 

Growing in strength she won't be unnerved 

Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word

Wanting the world to join her firm stand

Bracing the war, but praying for peace

Using his power so evil will cease

So much a leader and worthy of trust 

Here stands a man and a woman who will do what they must.  

The Nazi

 For the past 2 weeks we have been learning about the Nazi and the Holocaust, we had to write about the events that lead up to Nazi taking over Germany and now we are witting a blog about it and our learning. The positive and thoughtful part for researching about the Nazi was when he said that the different political parties ruined Germany for 14 years and so he would rebuild in 4 years if you vote for him. A helpful thing the Nazi did was when they arrested the leader of the SA and every high up there person because the SA killed 150 people and arrested a hundred more.  Why was Hitler being so great when he started becoming political and then killed so many people in the end.

The Schindler's list

 For the past 2 weeks we have been watching and learning about the Schindler's list and while we were watching the movie we were writing down key points and then just this week we put them into slides. A thoughtful and positive part about the movie was when he comforted Amon’s wife by telling her everything will be okay. A helpful part about this movie was when Schindler made a list of people he wanted to save and he got 1100. A question I still wanna know about the movie is how does the girl in red represent the innocence of the Jews.
