Independent Maths
For the last couple of terms I have been doing Independent Maths every Monday. All that I’ve really been doing is trying to complete my maths online goals. If you have a look at all my previous independent maths all my evidence of what I’ve done through out this period of time. I think doing Indapendant Maths isn’t all that bad but I think it could be improved, hear is a couple of things I think could improve independent maths:
•have partners (tell then what your goal is) (have your partner check to see if you are improving on your goal)
Oaks day
Today all the grade 6’s dressed up. We had to dress up as if we were going to the melborne cup. I personally think it is pathetic and a terrible excuse to dress up and have a fashion contest. I hate things like this because it makes very few people feel happy about them selfs and makes everyone else feel terrible and worthless (also that they are ugly). This I s the script USA read out while I was walking through the runway.
Oh my. Can you see this pastel coloured angel casually walking down the runway. Her dress lights up the crowd. Her shiny black boots are so stylish.
Hear is a photo of me on the day.
Healthy Facts
For the past few weeks my class have been working on making a health book. My group was phisical we had to answer any wonderings the class had about phisical health. Hear is 10 facts I learnt from the other groups.
1)OCD stands for obsessive-compulsive disorder
2)we have eyebrows to help express our expressions
3)we have eyelashes to stop sweat rolling down our eyes
4)Laughing 100 times is the same as doing 15 minutes of exercise on a bike
5)people with less melanin are most likely to get freckles
6)sleeping for less than 7 hour a night reduces your life expectancy
7)1 Can of Soda a day increases your chances of getting type 2 diabetes by 22%
8)farting helps reduce high blood pressure
9)it takes 524 burpees to burn off 1 packet of large fries
10)silverbeet boost your immune system
My poem
My poem about is about a girl who constantly puts people down. I’ve written this from the poin of view of a person who is being bullied, it relates to me because this is a poem about me. It’s about my year in grade 6 and all my feelings throughout my journey. I was inspired to write this poem after watching a movie called 10 Thing I Hate About You. I was inspired because of the type of words she used in the poem she read outloud.
Me in a minute goals
Today I had a little look on the web to find the best possible way to do a burpee, push-up and basketball shots. I found three websites for each of the three exercises. Now since I have looked at the right way I think I have been doing it the correct way but think I can inprove on every one of the three websites. Anyway website 1 is about basketball shots and explains it very clearly. Website 2 is about push-ups and finally website 3 is about how to do a burpee.
Wonder
How does Wonder by R.J Palacio relate to physical, mental, social and personal health at school?
I have been told a lot about this book and how heart warming it is. I think it will relate to these 5 types of health because of the way he is treated. My prediction is that this book is about a boy who has a deformed face and he tells you how his life is and all the terrible things people have said to him and how he deals with them.
Why did R.J Palacio write this novel and what was her inspiration?
R.J Palacio was inspired in Autumn 2007. She was on a trip with her 2 young boys when she stumbled upon a girl who has Treacher-Collins syndrome. Treacher-Collins syndrome is a rare condition that effects the features but leaves the child completely normal in any other way. The girls features did not alarm Palacio however the thing that alarmed R.J Palacio was her own reaction. When she first saw the kid she was terrified on whether or not her three year old son was going to say something rude or scream. She quickly stood up like a bee had stung her and whipped the stroller and quickly called her oldest son over and started walking away. She heard the girls mum say in the calmest voice possible “ok guy’s I think it’s time to go”. Her heart broke and she felt terrible for the mother and daughter. So to everyone who reads this I plead you to be nice to the people that stand out and to make them feel like they are wanted and as similar as you and I are.
This is the song that also inspired R.J Palacio when driving away from the girl. You will get why she got inspired if you listen to the lyrics durin gthe song.
Indigenous Australians
Today I had to do my presentation on Indiginous Australians. I was in a pair with Billie and I. We finished everything but unfortunately didn’t have enough time to finish off our script. If I could do this again I think I would make a script and read it that much that I would know it off by heart. This is a video of of what my group did for the hands on task.
I thought our model was fantastic especially with an actual light up fire I wouldn’t change a thing. We stuck to our plan the whole way through except when we did the seats, we used 4 instead of 6.
I think everyone really enjoyed the lesson with the bullroarers since they were basically swinging around miniature sticks like children. It was funny in the feedback because one person said that they got hit in the head 8 times!
The biggest influence that the indigenous had on Australia was the fact they were the first people here and the helped shape Australia’s laws.
2 Comments that stood out:
* Billie stand up
* Needs a bit more practice
This is a video of everyone using there bullroaras.
