emotions

I feel like today's  going to be a good day today. Because we have winter sport today and my team always wins the soccer games we plays . 

In drama we had to make some puppets and perform a puppet show.My puppet looked like a potato with a carrot for the nose and blue berry's for the eyes.

The Revaluation Tour

On Tuesday the 28 of May the Revaluation Tour came to Hornby High School. I think the best things about this day was when we played Throw Your Friend under the bus  and when the leader Reggie played the saxophone. Near the end he talked about how he was brought up it made me a bit sad. It made my friend Jamie really sad but I was there to help him.

THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Material:

1. Long 1-metre wooden ruler
2. Yourself

Steps:

1. Get a 1-metre ruler.
2. Measure your shoe (cm) or height.
3. Vice versa, height or shoe.
4. Record your measurements.

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)

Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100. 

Conclusion:

This experiment was fun, I learnt and knew my foot size. You had to do some maths in forensics, it was weird but interesting. What I also learnt is that the number that we've got (16.6 - min) is for the police to know our height. If we give that number to the police, they will know our height. It was a really pleasant and interesting lesson.
