Static image ... The Fly

This week we read The Fly by Katherine Mansfield. In the fly two men are meeting in an office. One of the men, Mr Woodifield has come to say that his daughters have gone to Belgium to visit the soldiers graves who died in world war one. Both men lost their sons in the war six years ago. After Mr Woodifield leaves, the other man who is called The Boss tries to cry. Instead he ends up seeing an ink drowning in an inkpot. He helps the fly out but then drops more ink on it to see what will happen. After a few times the fly dies.

Image selection

I have chosen to use the image of the fly in the ink. The fly represents the bosses son in the war and how close the son was about risking his life and almost dying in battles until eventually, he dies. I put the fly in the centre of the picture to show it is most important. I also included a pen, so the fly might survive and to show what happened between The Boss and the fly.

Colour

I chose to use sad colours like blue, black and grey to show the sadness of the text.

Text

I only included the work ink in bold lettering. This was so it would look like the logo on an inkpot.

Lepa Organisms 1 & 2

WALT: Place organisims on a continuum

Today we learnt how and where to put living organisims, smallest to biggest

D.N.A

Today we learnt about D.N.A and where,what and how?

.how are DNA, chromosomes and genes are all related and how?
.Cells are made hundreds of thousand of them in our body.
.There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus in each cell
.D.N.A are made up in 4 bases, A.T.C.G
.The D.N.A is in the chromosomes and the chromosomes are in the nucleus
.C-G, T-A, G-C, A-T
.CODON = WORD
.GENE = CHAPTER
.2 Genes = Chromosomes
.Chromosomes = Books

Experiment w/ milk and diswashing liquid

Today we experimented by putting milk and dishwashing liquid together

Hypothesis:
The liquids will merge together and will be a lighter green

Equipment:
Food coloring
Full fat milk
Cotton buds
Dishwashing liquid
Plastic plates

Method:
1. Pour milk in the paper plates
2. Add tiny drops of food coloring
3. Dip the cotton bud in the diswashing liquid
4. Dip the cotton bud in the milk




Observation:
When we put the cotton bud in the milk we saw the milk and food colouring begin to move around the plate.

Conclusion:
The milk was seperate from the diswashing liquid, as the diswashing liquid was killing the fat out of the milk.
