Numeracy Week 7

This week we have been learning about nets and how to make them we started with what makes a net then quickly moved onto actually making them. We had choices of shapes which we made a Square-based pyramid, Cube, Cuboid and more. As a showing of our work we had to create a DLO of Nets and show you how to make one. Here is mine.

Writing Argument

We have been focusing around argument writing for the past week and making sure it has Strong adjectives and an emotionally toys with the viewers heart strings. For our topic we did "Should Children be aloud cellphones" We rounded the age to Under 13 and then got started I decided NO children shouldn't be aloud phones while others said yes. Here is my cellphone argument. 

Should Children have Cell Phones?

Do you want your children addicted to a mobile device screen from such a young age, killing their child life and imagination and

only interacting with devices? Well…  I think NO, your child needs the right amount of exercise, a healthy life and to be able to

communicate to others. 

Firstly Exercise, As a kid exercise and playing is a big thing that parents want them to continue through

till secondary school.  BUT… with a device your child will adjust to be all antisocial revolving around

their life and consuming all of their time. Quitting out of school activities and sport, And…  one of the

BIGGEST parent expectations of completing school work well that will be reinstated with social media

and other useless time wasting apps. 

Secondly your child's health, They get less sleep, a negative impact on their mental health

,it also impedes their limit to learn and use their ingenious mind and constructs a behavioural

problem and an addiction towards the phone.The World Health Organisation have shared with us that using

cellphones have increased the number of brain cancer because of electrical impulses from devices.Imagine your child

with Brain cancer a lifetime sickness! 

How would you feel if you were trying to communicate to your child and they are constantly ignoring you and on their device? Well there are other ways to communicate and sometimes the person is right in front of them and they IGNORE them for their device which is utterly DEPRESSING because they will end up with absolutely NO friends . Parents and Family it confines your time together because they are constantly listening to or playing on their phone. Is that something you really want? Because if you don’t stop this then your child will be an adult before you realise and  you will regret the lousy choice you made.  

What do you think? Would you get your kid a phone under the age of 13 because their friends have one or they want it badly. WIthout a Phone you could have a Healthy social child who commits  to sports and other activities. With a phone an Antisocial , Unhealthy and unfit child… Is that what you want!? 

Maths Week 5

This week for Maths we have been focusing on learning how to read bus timetables encase we need to use them. We were given 4 questions on timetables and how to find the answer. There is more information on my DLO. 

Hanmer Springs Camp

This week we were given the task to make a detailed presentation about camp. In my slide it will have information from all 3 of the days with a few pictures showing you the activities. Here is mine 

Pink Shirt Day 2019

This Year for Pink Shirt day we decided to have a fundraiser at our school supporting the Upstander charity going with the whole school goal of being an upstander, we were undecided until we came up with the idea to bake gingerbread cookies with pink icing and sell them to the school and some parents. It was a hit and we made 100s of them selling them for $50c-$1 and we made a profit of $400 to go towards our charity. We found ourselves very successful and I hope we do it again next year. 

Hanmer Springs Camp 2019

This year for camp we went to Hanmer Springs which includes all the activities such as... 
Mountain Biking 
We went Mountain biking around the Statue track which went for 2 hours and 30 minutes, I really enjoyed it the scenery in the forest was beautiful and you get really good specialized bikes.
Statue Walk 
The Statues were amazing and really creative like the bear in a harness climbing a tree. And they were quite spread out, but we went the wrong way for about 5-10 minutes and got lost so we had to make our was back and get onto the track. 
Conical Hill 
When we went to Conical Hill we saw the sign that said 30 minutes up and 30 minutes down so we made a goal that we would get there in 20 minutes up and 10 minutes down so we ran and in the end we got 15 minutes up and 6 minutes down. 
Tree Climbing 
For Tree Climbing we were paired with Aria and we had to get into a harness and a helmet and we got to climb up to the top and squeak the toy. I made it up the big tree and I squeaked both toys. 
Hot Pools 
Everyone enjoyed the Hot pools and we were allowed in different selections of pools from boiling hot to cold. 

Sri Lanka Explosions

At 8:45am on Easter Sunday Sri Lanka was set with a series of explosions that killed more than 300 people and at top-end hotels. It is the most violence the country has seen since the end of the civil war decades ago. Most of the victims of the attack are said to be Sri Lankan's but at the least 31 are foreigners.          But the real question was who was behind the bombing?

On Monday the day after they were to believe it was a little known group called National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) were to blame, the officials were still investigating whether it had international help.
