Researching firsts

I choose this topic because I was curious to know who invented ice-cream and how it has involved over time. I think these questions are important because back in the early day's ice cream would have been a big thing because there was nothing else like it and people couldn’t exactly access it at home because some people wouldn’t be able to have a freezer.

From my first source I have learned that there are no specific dates to when ice cream was created or who was the first person to invent ice cream but through this I have also learned that ice cream has evolved from many different recipes and people trying new thing and experimenting with different flavor to make, what we now know as ice cream. Ice cream’s origins extend as far back as the second century B.C and ice cream wasn’t made available to the public until the 1660s in this long year gap ice cream has changed in many ways and has evolved from many different recipes including sherbet. Marco Polo returned back to Italy from the far east with a recipe that is similar to what is now called Sherbet, Historians determine that the recipe evolved into ice cream at some point in the 16th century.

This week I have finish my practise project

Today i'm going to start on the actually project do that mean i think have to print my quote off and start painting

Week 1 back to term 2

This week back at school in services

This week with our project is on hold because we are doing a mini practise of the bigger model, so we're painting a piece of wood white when we are going to put tape on it and colour it with lots of different colours

Our main idea:

9PBL- Water filter

Design

Our design was easy to make but it toke a lot of effort and the thing we need to make this possible were easy to find, our Design was basically a tripod that had grass at the top and a layer of sand in the middle and at the bottom there charcoal.

Improvements

If I was making this water filter again I would put a layer of sand because we didn't not do that and clean what we were going to put your water the new water in.

Services

Last week we did, we were choosing three pieces of art and our group was walking around the school to find one place and choosing a place for one of them.

Mikonui flat

What an adventure, Mikonui flat and awesome experience all of my class.

I had a great time with all my class and I will never forget the fun and funny moments doing everything like cooking with my group we had a great dinner we had pasta and dessert we lots marshmallow, chocolate and biscuits, later we did lots of laughable riddles got most of them easy and some really hard to get but they were so simple.

Afterwards, the one part of the tramp I was mostly worried was the "solo" I was so scared it but once I sat down by myself I had a look around and saw all the light shining, I turn off my light and looked around for awhile and listening to the loud sound of frogs 

Overall the most rememberable moments was jumping off the jumping rock into ice cold water and the river crossing best moments of my life and the tramping trip

Once we got up to the ski field the snow was really heavy and I wasn't used to it so I fell over so many time, but it was fun falling overall I have so many memories that I will never forget like have so much fun with all of my class and haveing a snowball fight. One of my goals was to get to the top the first time I tried to get it I fell over a rock and went rolling down the hill it was so funny and the second time I actually did it I was so proud of myself.

When we were driving to Mitchells I didn't know what to think, half of the class was doing rafting and the other was doing sea kayaking both trips sounded awesome and what fun it was, we got to meet all the instructors were really different and they had a cool thing about them their name were: Rae(Snazzy)(he had that look like he was Jack Black) James (Squirrel) Arial (Oreo) Henry (Chicken)

I was kayaking there in a double with my friend Georgia, and of course, we were the first  to get stuck in between some lake weed and a tree it was real fun kayaking with her

When we got there we put up the tent really fast and the boy didn't even have the poles in.

It was lots of fun being there with all of those people and have lots of good times
