Burger Competition
Texture ~ The texture was exactly the same as a normal burger but the Brioche Buns and Pattie made the whole thing mushy and softer, overall the burger tastes excellent.
Living Springs Camp 2021
Living Springs Camp 2021
So at Camp, we met up with the other Project K Group they were a mix between Shirley & Linwood, but we met up with them in the morning and spent the whole night with them to get to know them, all of us got along pretty well we talked, laughed, joked and smiled a lot while we were hanging out with the Community Group.
But after that, we went for a night walk but when we were walking we got a surprise that we were walking to a spot with you have a rope and you can either go blindfolded or go normally ( either way you couldn't see ) but I was sad because everyone got offered a blindfold and I didn't and I didn't get the chance to do it because I was too far up the hill to go back down and get one.
Groups go separated into 10 people in each, so 10 people head off then we wait for them to go and then another ten gets to go, but we didn't realize how fast we were going so we had to wait because the girl in front wanted to go fast, we waited for then to go and get to the top while we were just chilling in the bottom waiting until they called and said that they were at the top, so and soon as we went to walk the girl in front slipped but I was luckily enough to be standing right there to be able to save her, she wanted me to stay close to her just in case she fell again ( and there were more times she slipped ) but she was really thankful when we got up to the top.
So during the 3 Day Camp at Living Springs, we had some people come to the Camp Ground and teach us what to do if we ever got lost, stranded, or hurt in the middle of nowhere, There were 3 guys there teaching us all different things that they do for LandSAR.
I forgot all of their names but this is what they do for their job.
Guy #1 ~ Uses his dog to trace down people that are lost, have gone missing, or have stolen someone.
Guy #2 ~ Uses a no-legged stretcher and carries people that have badly injured themselves and can't walk or paralyzed people.
Guy #3 ~ Is a tracker he tracks people that have tried to hide and run from them after they have done really bad stuff and trying to get away, but he tracks the footprints that he had got given with fresh and old track marks.

Woodstock ~ Music Through Time
Woodstock
We have been learning about a new topic for Music Through Time , The topic that we have been set is going to be about Woodstock. This topic also involves the Vietnam War (1955 - 1975 - 20 years). Today, we looked at both Woodstock and the Vietnam War and what happened there.
I used the Song ~ War (what is it good for?) ~ Edwin StarrThe artist wanted to make a point that when young men go to war its bad and sad because they needed to think about how it was effect their parents,family & yourself because they don't seem to see how dangerous it is out there with everyone getting shot from everywhere.And the artist is also trying to get this into people mind and saying why is everyone going to war and killing people just for some land, and also saying that the world shouldn't allow the war to be a thing and shouldn't be fighting and killing for pretty much no reason because it is useless and a waste of life and time.Lyrics : War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, why'allWar, huh, good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to meOh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent livesWar means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their livesI said, war, huh good god, why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it againWar, whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to meit ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to meit ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it awayOh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it againwhoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me it ain't nothing but a heart breaker(War) friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows there's got to be a better wayOh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for you tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it huh good god why'allWhat is it good for
Stand up and shout it nothing
What is it good for

Making Salt
Aim
~
To produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.
Equipment
~
Copper oxide powder, dilute (0.5 mol L - 1) Sulfuric acid, 50 mL measuring cylinder, two 100 mL beakers, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula, evaporating basin, stirring rod.
Method
~
1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100 mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70*C. Turn off your Bunsen burner.
2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.
4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.
5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.
6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.
7. Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 mL of water.
8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin.
9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.
10 Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (i.e a window-sill) and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form.

The Beatlemania
The Beatles
Hey Jude
The Writers of the song got a lot of love for releasing this song they have gotten even more love over the years when they were creating music
The music is really different back cause the music didn't express itself as The Beatles and nowadays In the 1940's it was dull and boring but now their is meaning in the songs that we produce.

Write an Narrative Story! / Your Own..
A burning inferno, a raging storm of heat claimed the house as it's territory, as it's home. The man stood their tears flowing down his face knowing he couldn't save them.
