SLAM!!!!!!! Goes the basement door as Bailey walks in furiously. 

Bailey softly wipes the tears from Lolas's faces after Hearing the unbearable news.

“Aunt Kathy called from the hospital and said the surgeon couldn’t save Mum,” Lola says, gently. 

“HOW!!!!! WHY!!!! WHAT???” Morgan replied while tears rolled down her face consistently.

The news was awful and without a doubt heartbreaking,  The family spent the rest of the day reminiscing

all the good memories they shared with their Mum, I'm going to miss waking up on Christmas and the look on her
face as well opened up our gifts" says Morgan as she busted out crying.


The next day Morgan wakes up to the sound of glass shattering, thing slamming and Bailey yelling. Morgan sprints
upstairs sees blood oozing from Baileys hands and arms she soon sees a knife laying on the ground surrounded in his
blood, Morgan screams " AHHHH WHAT THE HECK, ARE YOU OKAY?" he rapidly runs out of the house while blood
drips from his clothes and wounds.

Chicken Leg Dissection// Science//10Hh

Chicken Leg Dissection

Aim:    In this Dissection, I will locate and describe the various tissues and structure of the drumstick and thigh of Chicken.

Equipment:       Chicken drum with the thigh

              Dissecting probe

              Scalpel

              Dissecting scissors 

              Paper towels

              Dissecting tray

              Gloves

              Disinfectant hand wash and spray

Method:          

1. Place the chicken leg on a Dissecting tray and examine the exterior features. The tough outer layer is called the epidermis (Skin). The small bumps covering the skin is where the feathers were attached
2. Examine the lower leg. This is called the drumstick and it is the equivalent (same as) of your lower leg. The large muscle at the back of the leg is the same as your gastrocnemius. It also includes two bones- the tibia (large one) and the Fibula (the smaller/thinner one.
3. Examine the upper leg. On both the chicken leg and human, They both have a thing called the thigh this is called the femur
4. Carefully pull the skin off by sliding it down and off the lower leg. You may need to use the scalpel to remove it. But be careful not to cut any muscle tissue.
5. The muscles of the leg, like all muscles, work in bundles. Separate a bundle of muscle by inserting your thumb into the muscle of the lower leg. you'll notice that the muscle bundle is covered in a shiny lining called the fascia and this makes it hard to separate but if you push hard enough you will tear ut find that separating muscle bundles is a lot easier.
6. At either end of the muscle, you will see white cord-like tissue. These cards are called tendons. Tendons attached to the bone.
7. Using the scalpel, carefully remove all the muscles from the lower leg. using your dissection probe to examine any blood vessels you find and try to determine which muscles the blood is supplied to.
8. Near the bone, you should see thin, thread-like strands. these are the nerves
9. Using the dissection scissors, cut across the tendons that join the muscles to the bones. Be careful not to cut any ligaments that attach bone to bone. You should end up with all the bones still attached to each other, but no muscle tissue present.
10. Move the bones around the joints, The main joint between the bones of the lower leg and the femur is a hinge joint like the one in your knee. Not how the bones can move only in one plane.
11. Using your scalpel, carefully cut the ligaments, keeping the bones together.
12. In the joint between, the nones is a piece of cartilage. Cartilage allows joints to move smoothly and protects the bones against shocks to the body.
13. Break one bone in half and examine the marrow. This is where blood cells are made
14. Clean up your work area. Ensure you clean your bench using antibacterial spray. Wash your hands thoroughly with plenty of antibacterial soap and water,

Results:          

My observations from this experiment is that... The Chicken smells like a rubbish bin, but things I could see was each tendon and I ended up removing some, I could see and feel the muscles. The muscles feel like a more frim like an overcooked piece of steak. The tendons are not what I expected they feel like a very thin noodle type silicone. trough out this experiment I learnt how to understand the human leg skeletal muscle system by comparing it to the chicken. I saw how the joints work and why cartilage is needed, I saw tendons and ligaments and can now point them out on the human body 

   

Here are some photos Iong the way.

Micheal Mew// Art// 2019

Over the past few weeks we have been making Micheal mew Art pieces, For this, we have had to use different shapes colour textures. We have also had to make sure we had vocal points and leading lines. For my work, I used watercolours as well as pieces of work I cut out of the magazine and my focal point was the Mohua

Breakfast muffins// Home ec

Last week we cooked Breakfast muffins, these where really yum we did end up changing around some of the ingredients but here is the updated recipe.

Ingredients 

1/2 Tbsp olive oil 

1/2 onion diced

4 slices ham

4 cherry tomatoes

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

1 Tbsp parsley chopped/ diced

1/2 tasty cheese

1/2 smoked paprika

2 eggs

to taste sea salt and cracked black pepper

1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. preheat oven to 185c on fan bake.
2. line 8 large muffin holes (or a regular 12 tray) with baking paper squares large enough to come up the sides. (We used a canola oil spray)
3. heat the oil in a frying pan and saute onions for 3-4 mins until the onion is soft. Set aside to cool.
4. in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley, flour, cheese, paprika and season.
5. add the cooked onions and ham and stir to combine.
6. whisk together eggs and milk and fold into other ingredients gently until just combined.
7. spoon into prepared trays and bake for 12-15 mins until golden and puffed.

Things I will next time definitely add more ham and cheese and less parsley,
Things I learned, I learned how to saute properly and now I can do that easier next

Slave trade// Social Studies// 10Hh

Over the past week in Social Studies we have been working on the slave trade triangles, This is actually so upsetting to see how people were treated back in  days.
Here is my 'My Map' this is a diagram of where the Europeans sail to drop off the slaves.

Chocolate double helix// science// 10Hh

Double Helix made out of Chocolate.
A pair of parallel helices intertwined about a common axis, especially that in the structure of the DNA molecule (but instead this one is made out of chocolate)

Aim- To make a successful Double Helix made from chocolate
Equipment- One block of chocolate, Bowl, baking paper, piping bag, microwave, freezer, Spoon.


Method: 

1. Place all the Chocolate into the bowl
2. Put in the microwave for 30 take out an repeat if needed
3. When it's done lay down a flat piece of baking paper
4. Open the piping paper and spoon all the chocolate into it then cut a small hole at the tip
5. draw one wiggly line then another identical but mirrored then draw a line connecting the to sides of the helix together
6. place in the freezer

Observations

While making this double helix it was quite difficult because it was hard to make both sides of the helix's identical, but I tried to do the best as I could!!

Conclusion

Well obliviously it wasn't a real double helix but considering that it was made out of chocolate I think it looks pretty good, Next time I would definitely have focused more on the detail and maybe used different kinds of chocolate and maybe coloured some.

Discussion
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the same in all living things. It looks like a twisted ladder known as a Double Helix. DNA is made up of continuous units called Nucleotides. A Nucleotide is made up of sugar and phosphate also a base. Both sides made up of the Sugar and phosphate are joined together by chemicals called Nucleotide bases.

Evaluation
A couple of things that would make it easier on you is...

• Place the chocolate into the piping bag before melting then melt it in the piping bag.
• Draw a couple of different diagrams so you have options.

Next steps

Things I could have done better/change...

• I would have definitely paid more attention to the details.
• I would use different colours and flavors so that it would look a lot better.

I think that could have done better if I did both of thing but I'm still proud that it has the same outline as the double helix.

Tarzan// English // 10Hh

Two Worlds, One Family. This means to me that family will always be there but there is a whole other world out there for you to explore.

Here is my paragraphs that i wrote  an important message I seen while watching Tarzan.

Your family is not necessarily who you look like or who gave birth to u its who is there to love and support, who is always there for you. I seen this when Kala took Tarzan to see where she found him, his feelings were kind towards Kala even though he could have been angry because he had been lied to his whole life but this just shows that blood doesn't mean nothing when u love someone.
I think that Tarzan doesn't care who we call his family I think he cares for the people that he will protect and who will protect him.

Chicken and rice patties // Home Economics //2019

Last week we cooked Chicken and rice patties.
These were pretty easy to make an was very yum. Things that I would change for next time, I would use more spray on our tins and cook the rice a bit longer as it was quite hard to eat, Our teacher ended up preparing the chicken(poached) for us but I would have just cut it then cook in a  pan because it was hard to shred the way she done it.

I learnt that i should focus more when im doing the mis en place because i was a bit confused into how long before I should have turnt on the oven, i also learnt a whole knew recipe.

Things we changed in the recipes

2 cups rice

½ carrot

1-2 spring onions stalks

¾ cup of grated cheese

2 eggs

Next time I cook this I will probably no use any meat, I will add some spinach and red onion and maybe some capsicum. Other than what will change next time I really enjoy cooking this meal.

Perishable and no perishable
perishable  food are food that can last for a long period of time eg:  Caned foods, Noodles
No perishable i foods that wont last as long eg: bread, milk.

Where you store your food is important because the temperature will Change how long it will last for eg: milk wont last as long if it isn't chilled 

Health// Hauora// 10Hh

This semester in health we are doing hauora we are focusing on spiritual well being.
To me spiritual well being is all about you,it is all about who u believe in. Spiritual well being is also about what you  identify as, also what u feel and what you think is most important.

FROM THE VALUES YOU CHOSE, WRITE ABOUT TWO THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON	WHAT BEHAVIOURS OR ACTIONS ARE YOU ALREADY DOING THAT SUPPORT THIS VALUE	WHAT COULD YOU STOP DOING/CHANGE TO BETTER SUPPORT THIS VALUE	WHAT COULD YOU START DOING TO BETTER SUPPORT THIS VALUE
Trust	being able to believe what someone said or did with out having to fully investigate them juts putting your trust into someone	Think about the future not now aday thing about if your really know they will be there for you no matter what.	knowing people before thinking to quickly
Respect	Letting people be who they want to be, respecting who they are.	Just letting people be who they want to be not just judging people base on what u think. Also respecting there opinion and them as a human.	Not thinking to quickly who they are.

Shading // Art// Year 10

This semester we have been focusing on shading, i have been enjoying this heaps cause i have really improved and learnt new techniques when it come to art

- Have you improved with shading?
I have improved by understanding the positive and negative space and being able to see where there need to be a highlight, I do still think that can improve but that will just take practice.
- do you understand that using a structure can help you draw better (light loose lines under your work)? explain what this means to a reader.
Yes, I think having a structure will help regardless because it will make you fell more organised and want to carry on and keep going on with you art. This can result in better outcome.
- What are you going to work on going forward in pencil drawing in and out of class?
I am gonna work on controlling how hard I push down on my paper with my pencil and and not rushing as much also I am gonna work on smudging my pencil better so im not getting it all over the place
