Our new topic

I and my class have learnt a new topic called 'Powers of persuation.' It is about the powers of how to make poeple interested in whatever you want them to do or to buy.
We are learning about advertisement because when poeple are advertising something, they are trying to make you interested in buying the things they want you to buy. BUT, sometimes, they are even telling lies to make people get more fellings to buy it. And sometimes when you see in the television some fresh burgers or ice cream or any other junk food, it is actually made of painted kley so it looks more fresh and people wants to eat it. But when you are going there to eat the food, you will see that it is not as fresh as you saw in the television. And you will regret that you came here just to eat an old cold food. In a short form, I mean that you shouldn'd believe in every thing that the ads are telling you. But, it doesn't mean to not believe at all what the ads are saying.
We've also learnt about media and the sort of medias, like television, radio, newspaper etc. We also did a survey and a lot more about media. We found out what a logo means and we brought to class some logos. Wow!! There were a lot more of logos then what I thought there was.
I like this topic so far (when Mrs. Poonam is teaching us).

Field trip to Nandi Hills

We went to a field trip on the 5th of October. It was really fun. But I was a little bit scared when we went up the hills because it was shaky and I felt like the bus going to fall. Our teacher said that there are lots of monkeys on hills so we shouldn't show food to them or eat food when a monkey is looking at you. It might bit you and take the food away. When we arrived, I could feel fresh air coming to me. AND I could see a lot of monkeys aroud us, but they were still cute.
We went up the hills. And I could feel more and more of fresh air. We first went to a temple of 2000 years old. It was the temple of Hanuman, the monkey god. We always had to take of our shoes when we enter a temple. We took a red flower and we put a red dot on our face. And there was a statue god, Hanuman.
Then, we went to another temple. The Lord Ganesh temple. There was a bull statue on the front and we had to put a flower around his neck.
Next, we went to the temple of Shiva. It was made in Cholla dynesty and it is 852 years old. In there, a man gave us some water which we had to drink and then put it on our hair. Then we turned round and round the statue gods and then bow.
And I've learnt that Nandi means bull in Hindi.
We went to the Tipu drop. Punished poeple were thown to the Tipu drop which is 4450 feets deep. Then we went to see Nandi in statue form. It's 952 years old. Then we went in a room where people stayed for 40 days in peace. And they also prayed to god. Inscriptions were written in Canada on the walls. And the room was very dark.
Then we went to Nandi Gram. These temples in Nandi Gram were made in the 9th century A.D. And there are temples which are 12 years old. Nandi Gram was fun, too.
