Cerulean Color poem

Cerulean is a color. Cerulean is like blue sky.  It was a nice day with the cerulean butterflies feasting on flowers. The wall was painted cerulean. My new car has a cerulean shade on the doors. The sea was glistening cerulean today. Some dolphins are cerulean. If you eat blueberries, you'll turn cerulean. The smurfs are cerulean

first bounce height of a ping-pong ball.

For science, we did an experiment where we drop a ping-pong ball from a certain height 3 times, record the height of the first bounce, add them up and divide by 3. After getting the results, we made a line graph.

Since we can't make a graph in this here is the info.

Drop                                             Bounce

0                                                    0

20                                                  13.3   

40                                                   25.6

60                                                    36.3

80                                                    47.6

100                                                 59

My Coat Of Arms

In Social Studies, we made a family Cres. I learned that a coat of arms is important because of A shield with symbols and figures that represent a family, person, a group or other organization. An example of a coat of arms is a family crest. Here is a photo of my cres.

• The first one is a mosque. We go to the mosque and pray it is a holy place for us.
• the second one is the flag of my country. I am from Fiji that is my home country.
• The third one is my family, I love my family.
• The fourth one- this is me praying( not me but a drawing).
• The fifth one is the head scarf I wear.
• The sixth one is our holy book. It is just like the holy bible.

This is my coat of arms. These are the things that make me.
