Recycling

This week we were split into 6 groups for our inquiry learning. Each group was given a topic and my group was on recycling. We had to write down some facts and tips on how to recycle, Then we got to choose if we wanted to move into pairs ( But your pair had to be someone from your group ). So I paired with my friend Alize. Here is my concept map/ brainstorm that I made on recycling. Thank you for reading!

P.S. Here is a link for the website I made it on.

My 10 minute writing test

This week we did a 10-minute writing challenge and we were given 2 topics. The first one was about " How did this man get stuck in the wall? " ( Don't worry, It isn't a real Man, it is just a statue ) and the second topic was about " if a Shoe could talk, what would it say? " and we had to make a diary entry.
There is a picture of the statue just below the writing. Hope that you like it!

P.S. My writing is under the picture, Just so that you know : )

I think that he was a Tar statue robber, here is my story to explain why I think that:

It was a hot day in China, everyone was outside, everyone except for Noah. Noah was a
statue, a statue made of tar. He would just stand there, waiting for a bird, for something to come and keep him company. He obviously couldn’t move, Well, that was
until today. The sun was so hot it melted him off his stone, he could move
through objects and burn objects. He took advantage of what had happened,
but not in a good way. He went, stealing and burning houses and its furniture,
there had to be something done. The people are in the village devised a plan to
stop this monstrosity once and for all, they tried all sorts including, nets and water, but
it didn’t work. The people just ran out of ideas when a wise old man came in, he said to just wait
for the afternoon and for the sun to go down. So they did. The statue tried to run through a wall, but
the wind picked up and he froze in the wall, the great wall of China.

The End

Dear diary,

I am brand new and as soon as my human got me he flattened me! He also through
me in a puddle,

Mud

And something that I would rather not talk about.

I wonder What I did to him that made him so mad at me, and worst of all,
he acts like he doesn’t even notice me! I just wish I could go on holiday,
relax in the sun and all that, but instead, here I am giving all my time up in
the word for my ungrateful overweight owner! I wish that I could talk like him
to express myself, but sadly, I can’t. No offence, but I can’t imagine you to
understand, because you are a book sort of thing, he writes in you and
appreciates you, Unlike me. Sometimes I get bitten and wet my his
pet dog, Cat, once Cat even took a big chunk out of my tongue! For my
human that sounds really yucky because he has an actual tongue, while I
have only a fake one to keep him comfortable. Help Me!!!!!

Maths Investigation

This week for maths my maths group and I have been doing the " Investigation ". We had to find out how many red squares can fit in a 4x4 square without it being three in a row. This is the maths slide and my one is on the top ( so that you don't have to scroll down, well unless you want to see the other peoples work too ). Hope that you like it and make sure to leave a comment! Thanks : )

P.S. I added something on the bald eagle slide ( in other words, make sure that you check it out! )

Bald Eagle Reading Work

This week, my reading group have been learning about the Bald Eagle. I learnt that the Bald eagle sometimes eats foxes and even wolves! I also learned that as a Bald Eagle grows, their beak keeps curving and doesn't stop, So they occasionally have to " Chip " it until it turns back to normal. But they also have to make sure that their beak isn't too blunt, otherwise, they will have to wait till it grows back!

Also, when their wings are uneven, they pluck their feathers off the other wing to make sure that it is balanced. There are some more facts in the video somewhere in my slide, Don't forget to comment!

   

The Trip

On Wednesday we went on a trip to the eco learning space. We were split into two groups, one went in the morning and the other one went in the afternoon. when we got there I learnt how things worked in the factory. My favourite was the machine that separated aluminium from the rest of the rubbish. Do you like star wars? because If you do then you are going to really like this part! so there is a machine that makes a sound like a lightsaber because... It is! they use an infrared light to zap the aluminium and create an electric charge and pushes it on to another role-belt so that it is separated. after that, we went to the eco drop which is a place where you have to look for the signs on the wall ( or anywhere really ) and remember three of them, that was my least favourite one because that was all we did. After that, we went to the eco store ( there is a lot of eco's isn't there! ) and we were given a budget of 500 dollars  and a list to see what to put in our flat, This was my favourite one because I got a gaming console, a piano, a go-kart and a boogie board. and guess what happened on the way back?... We saw the other group ( group two ) on their way there!

My speech

My school had a speech competition last week and my speech was about why the school holidays should be twice as long. How it works: so, everyone had to write a speech ( except the year ones because they are too small so they just have to sing a nursery rhyme ) and present it to their class. The teachers had to pick a person to represent their year level, ( only three people can represent each year level).The three that were chosen had to compete with each other to see who will get first, second or third. Although I wasn't one of those people, my friend Thom was. I was really nervous when I was in the auditions because if I made it through then the whole school would be watching me, and when they were watching me and I made a mistake then I would be embarrassed, I mean who wouldn't be nervous!?
