Inchape Rock Poem

This a poem that reads out a verse about the Inhcape Rock, My Verse was about Sir Ralph and his Men traveling across a swelling sea. 
This was our activity then we were told to write down What does the text mean. 
After writing the context we were asked to read out our verse before checking our Verse meaning with the teacher.
We also found out clues to why Sir Ralph Died why he would cut off the Inchape bell.

M&M's presentation

Me,Sanujan,Nickela,Jonathan and Harlem created a presentation researching M&M's.
We created a bar graph and a diagram to show the results of which color was most popular.
To do this we were given instructions to come and get a packet of M&M's and a paper for our graph. We counted out all of the M&M's and ordered them into groups. 
The highest rate was green. There were 16 Green, 11 Orange, 10 Brown, 7 Yellow, 6 Blue and 6 Red.
The next day we made the DLO we took a screenshot of our bar graph we  made and a screen shot of our diagram.
The diagram shows how much in percentage the packet weighs with the amount of M&M's in it.
 For our information about when was the blue M&M made we wrote down the key information because before the Blue M&M existed, they used to sell Tan coloured M&M's but they removed it and replaced it with the blue M&M.
Our next task was to find out the history about the M&M's Which stands for Marrie&Mars which was a company that made mars chocolates.
We also wrote our guesses of how much the packet will weigh everybody in our group chose there guess. We also put down 7 facts about the mars company and chocolate. We popped in a video to explain key information about M&M's. We also wrote a comparison and the video to show the M&M's ad on T.V.
