Art Progressions

Hi. Okay what a great way to start a blog post. This is a post about art progressions Art progressions is just like literacy progressions, but not about writing it's about art like drama, music, dance and visual art. Right now we are doing music progressions. Next we are doing drama. So basically we call art progressions music progressions now. So back to the main point of this post, music  progressions is like literacy progressions because 1. We set a goal, but a goal in music not writing. 2. They both have 'progressions' in their names so they are like the same thing.


So you are probably wondering what my goal is that I have set, well my goal is to basically learn more about the elements of music and so and so. The project I am doing is to research my favourite band which is Massive Attack and then make a song inspired by the band. I think this is actually a pretty good project to do. And if you don't know Massive Attack here is the link for there wiki wikipedia This is the link for Massive Attack ;-)


And the whole challenge of this music progression project is I use garage band a lot and i am really good at it cause I make songs on it all the time, but i was going to make the 'Massive Attack Inspired' song on garage band and now I am thinking, "Elly Mae you are not challenging yourself if you are just making a song on garage band!" So now I am going to try and make a song on a new music product on app store (partly because garage band doesn't have any big, dark beats like Massive Attack does.)

  

Science Fair!

This Term (term 3) is the best term because......YES, you guessed it this term is all about SCIENCE! and on the 20th of August it is science fair. And for science fair I am testing what bread mould grows more on and which bread mould grows the fastest on. What do you think? Well my hypothesis is,  I think that the cornbread will grow mould the fastest because it seems like the healthiest bread and also mould grows better with moist and cornbread is the most moist bread out of my 4 breads.

This is my data!!.....So far

Day 1. Nothing has happened to the bread.

Day 2. Nothing has happened to the bread.

Day 3. The bread has got a little bit hard.

Day 4. It has gone quite stale and I think maybe that it won’t grow mould. If you feel it it crusts against your skin

Day 5. All 4 of the breads are so stale and crusty. But the cornbread actually is not as hard and crusty as the other breads so I have a feeling that the mould will grow more and faster on the cornbread.

Day 6. The breads are all hard no sign of mould what so ever.

I really enjoy science and i think that my project is pretty good and I am excited to see what happens next!! Now of course every type of food has ingredients and thsese are the ingredients for all for of the bread I am testing.

White Bread:

1. Melted Butter
2. 500g plain flour
3. 2 teaspoons dried yeast
4. 1 teaspoon salt
5. 375mls lukewarm water
6. Extra water, brushing
7. 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Brown Bread:

1. 400g malted grain brown bread flour
2. 100g strong white bread flour
3. 7g dried yeast
4. ½ teaspoon salt

Rye Bread:

1. 200g rye flour
2. 200g strong white or wholemeal flour
3. ½ teaspoon fine salt
4. 1 tablespoon honey
5. 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Corn Bread:

1. ¼ cup butter or margarine
2. 1 cup milk
3. 1 large egg
4. 1 ¼ cups yellow, white or blue cornmeal
5. 1 cup all-purpose flour
6. ½ granulated sugar
7. 1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt.

I hope that you like the sound of this science fair project and I know there will be a lot of time series graphs in this project.

Speeches

I am really excited for speeches! I have a good topic for it too! My topic is about people killing animals for food, just because they want money. I think humans are very greedy and awful to the earth and animals. But not all people are cruel, I am not cruel, room 5 is not cruel. A lot of people are not greedy and selfish. Except for those people that put meat into a grocery store. I think we should all be vegetarians, but the problem with that is you won't get any iron in your body. Iron keeps your muscles working and it is good for your running and every physical thing you do. So then you would have spirulina or fish. Hey yeah, yeah I know fish are an animal, but they are way at the bottom of the food chain.

<====

But still they are an alive creature, so then have A LOT of spirulina and seaweed! Yes! Seaweed has got 2.8 mg and spirulina has 28.5 mg of iron. And yeah i know that spirulina tastes kind of icky, but it's really good for you! And you'll get used to it. 

Here are some speech ideas

1. Food waste

2. World pollution

3. How bad devices are for your brain

4. A humorous speech

5. John Key (Donkey) should not be the in charge of NZ or if he should

6.  Recycling

7. Endangered animals

Thank you for reading my basic information about my speech!
