Jerome and James Mmm thats Tasty

Mmm, That’s Tasty! by Neville Gardner

School Journal June 2012

WALT: Begin to use a range of scientific symbols, conventions, and vocabulary.

SC:      Complete a small science report on the taste + smell experiement

1. There are 5 main flavour receptors. Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Sour and Umami.

List some foods fit each of the flavour receptors.

Bitter	Coffee Cocoa powder
Salty	Sea salt
Sour	Lemons Yogurt
Sweet	Oranges Syrup Cookie Muffin Watermelon Apple Pineapple Cherry Pancake etc
Umami (savoury)	Pies Mini Spinach Breakfast Quiche Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

2. Record the words you didn’t know before. Add a picture or sentence to describe what they mean.

WORD	MEANING
Papillae (p.26)	Its has about 10,000 taste buds that is on top of your tongue,your papillae.
Receptor (p.26 )	Receptor is a taste bud that recognizes food types like sweet,sour,salty,bitter and umami(savoury).
texture (p.25)	The feel and appearance of food or other substances.
recognise (p.28)	It is to see something and immediately identify that object / Person12

3. On Page 29, there is the great jelly bean challenge. Mrs Parker will provide you with some Jelly Beans (or other items) to complete this task.
   Use the template for a science report below to write what you did, and what you found.

Question: Do our taste buds require smell?

Hypothesis: I think that we won't be able to taste anything and you will have to rely on the textures that your tongue picks up (Eg Flakes, crumble and it continues)

Materials:

• Food
• Blind fold
• Hands
• Partner(s) (optional)
• Nose
• Piece of paper and a pen/pencil

Procedure:

1. First you prepare the food
2. Then you put on the blind fold
3. Then with one hand pinch your nose and make sure you can’t smell anything
4. With the other hand put the Jelly bean or other types of food in your mouth
5. Chew it and do not swallow
6. Tell your partner what you taste, for example texture and taste
7. Then when he/she has written it down on the piece of paper  
8. After they did that take off the blindfold and unblock your nose
9. Then tell them the difference in the tastes

Observations:

1. The first taste I got when I put the Jelly bean in my mouth was the sugar
2. I also looked for the texture and what I picked up was a flakey kind of texture
3. When I opened my eyes and unblocked my nose I immediately knew what the flavour was
4. The flavour I guessed was Grape and the bean flavour was Grape.

Conclusion:

Yes, My hypothesis was right because I looked for the texture and how much sugar I could taste in that bean.

2. What do you think… Is sweetcorn a fruit or a vegetable?
1. Use the definition of fruit and vege (from the text) and the above diagram to help you decide. Explain your answer  SHARE

I think that sweetcorn is a fruit because it has seeds, Juicy flesh and a lot of other traits of a fruit.

3. Click EDIT and complete this diagram to show which foods fit into which category. SHARE
1. Use all the fruit and vege from the table in the book and any others you can think of

1. What do you notice about the fruit in our fruit box?  SHARE

They are a bit bruised, A bit rotten and are sometimes cut and have juice on them all

2. What could we do to keep our fruit box fruit fresher longer?   SHARE

Take them out of the plastic and leave the lid off and eat them regularly

Waves Win

When land is reclaimed from the sea, Huge concrete blocks are used to protect it from the waves.

Over time, the sea erodes these blocks so that only a part of them remains.

For example, these diagrams show 5 years’ erosion on a concrete block. (Of course, most blocks would not erode quite as evenly as the ones in the diagrams)

1. A, what do the before and after decimal numbers mean?

Erosion from 5 years

           B, Write 0.750 as a fraction

3/4           

2. Here are some other eroded blocks. Find the decimal number for each eroded block. Write your answers with three decimal places. You may need to build each block with place value blocks first.

A. 0.500     B. 0.260   C. 0.475  D.0.665    E.1.475

3. What is the simplest fraction you can write for each block in question 2?

1/10	2/10	3/10	4/10

Holiday Explanation Writing

The Holidays.The best time of the term, A two week period where we do not attend school. For family fun and for Rest and Relaxation. Its for fun times and happy days, Well it was all fun and games till Sunday the 5th around 2 in the morning the power collapsed. It was quite spooky as I was still awake during that power out.

But before this happened I spent alot of time playing games with my friends. Sometimes with my friends that were over my house and we would play alot of games on my Xbox / Computer, But sometimes with my friends that I play with online. Games I really enjoyed playing were Fifa 15, GTA 5, Cs:Go, TF2 And Borderlands 2.

I cooked alot of food as well, not just for me but for alot of the people who were in my house as well. I used a Grill / Barbecue to cook alot of the food that myself and my friends / family ate for dinner / lunch / breakfast. I also had to go down to pak n save alot, I was driven in my car by my Aunt / Dad down there to get some food to cook. This would normally involve but would not be limited to, Bacon, Eggs, Steak, Mince, Sausages, Spaghetti, Burger Patties, Bread (To Toast) And Beans. We would also boil water on the BBQ to make coffee or Milo’s, Sometimes hot tea as well.

I went to the movies only once but when I went there with my friend and a caregiver. We went to see the Maze Runner, it was a movie that I had never seen before and I really enjoyed that experience. We had made it to Sylvia park using our house car or our business van. When we got there we were going to buy Popcorn, Ice creams and Sodas but there was a power out the day before and the ice creams all melted. This did not matter as before the movies we brought some lunch, Butter chicken with rice, Naan bread and a Drink, I got a coke while my friend got a L&P. Since we parked near the food court we had a small walk over to the movie theater, Maybe 3 - 5 minutes

During the holidays the things I really enjoyed were Going to the movies, Playing with my friends and Cooking for my friends and Family.

Letter to constable Geoff

At Glenbrae school we had a lot of guest speakers come to our school and I made one for our local police officer, Constable Geoff

Monday 1st of September

Dear Constable Geoff

My Name is Jerome. I am writing to say thank you for talking to us about your story and how you got into the police force. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to come to our school and having such a positive attitude considering we did not have the best behaviour.

I found it really interesting when you talked about how you did lots of running and how you never gave up because you had a goal set and you wanted to achieve it no matter what. I learned that you didn’t initially like cops but that all changed and we all appreciate your honesty.

I would like to know how you met Andrew? What kept you going on your journey? Why did you ever decide to join the police force? We really appreciate you giving your time to come to our school and talk to us.

From the heart of room 10

Yours Sincerely,

Jerome Graydon
