Battle of the fast food giants!

As a class we have looked at the article posted on kiwi kids news about why my burger looks different from the advertisement. (Click Link) Based on this we have decided to do a "Target" styled approach on the three big fast food outlets in Palmerston North. McDonalds, Burger King and KFC. Our test will be looking at Four main areas; Presentation( how close it resembles its picture), value for money, nutrition and taste.

We will be looking at the cheeseburgers from McDonalds and Burger King and the Cheese Snack Burger from KFC. We will edit this post as we bring out our findings. .

This was our step process
We read and discussed the article e.g why they make their foods look like that? What is the point?

Then we watched TV3's Target programme to watch how they went about their product check.

We also made an opinion poll to see which burger we thought would win at the beginning.

Then we decided what  burgers we were going to test and what we would test them on.
We made up a table and gave each set of criteria a mark out of 5.This picture shows us the final winner.

Then Mr H, Sean and Misty went to go and pick up the burgers and some chocolate milkshakes!!!!

We marked our burgers according to our set criteria.

We then had our taste test and added up our results to get our winner.

Festival of Languages

Last week we had our festival of languages competition. This is where we retell our speech in our own language. It is also a time that we can show off some of our traditional dress. Ruma Ono did really well with many students taking a position in the top three for their language. Here are some shots from the day.

What do you ......


See..
wrinkles, gold bands, bandanna, old lady with a long neck and earrings.

Think...
An empress from China, in her mid 90's, she has cancer, her neck is broken, no hair, she is of major importance, she is showing off her traditional dress.

Wonder...
where is she, where was the photo taken, what country is she from, why does she have those around her neck, can they come off? Is she in some kind of trouble.

These are our thoughts from this photo. We also had to write and expand on these ideas. After we compared our reasons to with the video to see if we were on the right track.
