Weird delicacies around the world

Today for the blog post, we were offered to do a post about the weird and wonderful delicacies around the world.

1. Half-hatched chicken egg
In Philippines, half-hatched chicken egg is a nice dish for people. You just put it in your mouth and enjoy the taste of the chicken egg!

2. Turtle jelly
They are usually eaten in China, quite bitter so balanced with honey or condensed milk.

3. Bird nest soup

People harvest the bird's nest and it can cost up to $100 but it is worth because the soup has lots of calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium!

4. Habu snake 

In Okinawa, people get a snake and let them drown, then put them in the jar of wine to create a special drink for people.

5. Wasp cracker

In Japan, the hunters catch some wasps and they make them into a cracker!

6. Shirako

Shirako means white children in Japan, and this food is the male fish's sperm sac.

7. Lamb's brain

In India, they are one of the favourite unusual food.

Review term 2

Cross Country

I ran the cross country last week, Friday. It was meant to be on Wednesday but due to the weather it was cancelled and we made the time to do a cross country on Friday. The year 8 girls had to run 3rd 

so we had to wait for a bit. When we were waiting, Sian had the red paint so Sian and I drew the paw print together. Then we had to run and it went quiet faster than the practice. Sian came 85th, I came 170th and Leka came 17th out of 400. 

Maths

I liked this term's maths because I think I learnt whole lot more than last year. We learnt statistics this term and making some graphs. What we did new this term is the maintenance. Every 15 minutes of the maths we had to work on some maintenance and check our answers. I think we improved on that this term. Something I have to work on is keeping my maths book tidy because I don't really think my maths book is tidy enough so I'll try to keep it tidy. 

Click Cards (stars system)

This term we had a new system called the stars card system and click cards. When you come to school for 40 days and if you don't get the formal warning you get one click on your card. If you finish the card, you get the band which is red and there is a print on it which are S.T.A.R.S and T.I.S. Another thing, if you do a nice thing and if you get a stars card from the teacher, you put your name on it and put it in the Rimu box that is in the library and Mrs Mills will draw the two out of the box and those people will get a voucher for Burger King. You can also get a stars jersey and a bike in the end of the year.

Science Fair

Our school have done science fair this term and I found it quiet fun organising my science fair board. I was afraid that I wasn't going to finish it in time but I finished it and got it out of the way. I didn't get the yellow sticker but I was proud of my science fair project. My topic was quiet hard and I was so glad that I finished my project.
