Fiji wins gold

 hi today we did work about Fiji winning the Olympics for sevens rugby here is my work

Olympic Gold was won by the Fiji Rugby Sevens team in Tokyo last evening (NZ time).

The game was against Fiji who ended up winning Gold Medals.

Fiji’s captain is legend Jerry Tuwai. He said this win was very special because they had to go into quarinteen after Easter. They have not seen their familly since.  They spent most of that time shut up in a hostel in hotel in suva, training in a gym they built in a garage

When they were on their way to Japan the Fijian tam got stuck on a cargo plane Along with some crates full of frozen fish

These experiences helped them form a very tight group of people which makes for a great experience

Here are some images of the winners.

logos nike and fedex

 I like these logos because i have heard of them my favorite. The FedEx because between the e and the x there is a arrow pointing forward. And the other one is the nike symbol because there is a tick saying its the right way

Taste and smell

Welcome to my blog this week we have learned about the tongue and where certain taste buds are like where you can taste sweet, bitter, sour, salty. Those are the tastebuds we have here is a picture to show our tastebuds.

these are the taste buds

In our research, we aimed to figure out taste buds where these are some methods.

1: hold your nose

2: try to remember the taste

3: feel the texture of the food

some fun facts about the human tongue

the average tongue is about three inches long

your tongue has between 2000 and 4000 taste buds

taste buds are designed to keep us alive

pocket rockets

 during science, we have made pocket rockets

they are basically mini rockets that you could make at home. It is really cheap and easy to make. Here how it works

you get a small cylinder with a bottom you take off the top put baking soda in the bottom and then pour vinegar and quickly put the cap on and flip it then it should go flying.

daylight savings

Daylight savings it's a strange thing what is it? Well you might think it's so we can stay up longer but no it's so we don't waste as much energy with lights being on and you don't have to work in the dark.

If you are struggling to sleep then go to sleep earlier. Daylight savings is also good because the sun stays up longer so you don't have to rush your washing. 

But remember to change your clock an hour slower. Daylight savings starts on sunday 27 september and ends sunday 4 april next year. In australia daylight savings is in all states but queensland northern territory and wester australia. Daylight savings started in NZ in 1927. Here is some tips on how to adjust to daylight savings

• Go to bed earlier

• Put your clock back an hour

• Get some exercise if your not tired

I think that daylight savings should continue because it helps you stay fit and you can do your washing more often.
