Tooth Tradittions Around The World

Walt: look for information.

Tooth Tradition

All around the world, there are many tooth traditions and I really want to know some because some tooth traditions are  interesting and some are funny. Instead of putting your teeth under your pillow you could do other things with your teeth.

Malaysia :

Malaysian kids bury their teeth in the ground with soil. They believe that the teeth is a part of their body so it will come back to earth.

Egypt:

Egyptian kids wrap their tooth in a tissue and then they go outside and throw it at the sun. They throw at the sun because they are asking the sun to give them a brides tooth and take their buffalo tooth. A brides teeth is a beautiful set of teeth. A buffalo teeth is a nasty set of teeth.

Sweden:

Swedish children put their tooth in a glass of water. In the morning a coin will mysteriously takes place of the tooth in the glass of water.

Pakistan:

Kids in Pakistan wrap their tooth in some cotton and then they go outside when the sun sets. Then they go to a nearby river and throw it for good luck.

Burma:

Burmese kids take their tooth and then they go outside with their parents and they close their eyes and say a poem that goes like this

Mouse , Mouse wherever you are please take my tooth and give me back a royal tooth in return. Then they throw it . Their parents will tell them that the mouse will come and take it and give him/her a royal tooth.

Thats all the tooth traditions I picked . There are many more tooth traditions. My favourite tooth tradition was the Pakistan one. I liked that one because I like how the kids have to throw it when the sun sets.

Food Technology

Today the year 7’s went to food tech. Our teacher’s name was Mrs Tuipulotu. The dish we made was a pasta dish. It had fried onions, tomato, cooked ham and cheese. I worked with Lanu. It was really fun because I got to learn about cooking. I want to bake cookies next.

Rounding Decimals

Walt: solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This game is called rounding decimals. I had to answer the question they gave me and I had to put it in the nearest 1.It was easy and quite hard. It was hard because it was confusing for me and it was easy because I know how to round numbers. My score was alright I got more right than wrong. I want to learn about LCM and HCF next.

Comparing Decimals

Walt: Solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This game is called comparing decimals. I had to use the crocodile mouth to complete the sum. It was quite hard for me because I am not good at doing the crocodile mouth and I am still learning about decimals. My score was pretty good because I got most right. Next I want to learn about geometry.
