First Reading Blog of 2024

This week in reading we read about Anne Frank. After we learned about her we had to make a fake ticktock profile about an activist from a book called Kid Activists. I choose to do Rosa parks she helped the world by making black people have the same rights as white people, she even got put into jail once. I choose her because she stood up to the world like how Martin Luther King Jr did. Heres my profile hope you like it!

Have you done anything like this?

Champions of Peace

At the end of last term we were learning how we could be Champions of Peace. We studied peace symbols such as the CND sign, the Yin Yang, the dove, and poppies.

We had to create a prayer book with peace prayers from different religions all around the world. I did Catholic, Baptist, Muslim and Jewish.

Here’s my slide.

We also had to make a biography of a Champion of Peace. I chose Martin Luther King Jr because he did a famous speech that promoted peace throughout the world. He helped to stop racism.

 

How could you be a champion of peace?

science

This week we are doing science. We had to make we had to make a buzzer buzz with electricity using salt water and different types of metal,I thought that buzzer wouldn’t buzz because I thought that you had to put it on a battery or something that provides electricity.

Materials used:

  • 2 copper and 2 zinc nails.
  • Beaker full of tap water
  • empty specimen  jar.
  • Jar with salt
  • plastic spoon.
  • Empty beaker labelled S for discard salt water.
  • Several tissues.

Instructions:

1. choose one pair on nails. They can be same or different.

2. Attach the nails to the empty specimen jar with the buzzers.

3.  Then poor some of the water out of the jar labeled T in the the specimen jar.

4.Now get the plastic spoon and and put a t spoon of salt in the specimen jar and steer until it buzzes.

5. After poor the water in the the jar labeled S.

My group did it once after we tried to use other metal items together but it didn’t work. Some other groups use a fork and a copper nail and and the buzzer buzzed, so we learnt that if you put a two different type of metals tougher the buzzer will buzz, we also found out that if you put more salt in and stir faster the buzzer will gets louder.

Have you every done this type of experiment?

 

Math week 9

This week in math’s we had the choose to create a mid winter breakfast probability  DLO or a tree diagram you had to answer question for the tree diagram one these where the question.

  1. What is the probability that a guest will select porridge – hot chocolate – sausage sizzle – hot cakes?
  2. What is the probability that a guest will select hotcakes – sausage sizzle – hot chocolate – porridge?
  3. What is the probability that hot chocolate will be a second choice?

but I choose to do the mid winter breakfast probability one. you had to spin a wheel 45 time the wheel showed hot chocolate hot cakes porridge and sausage sizzle. I was surprised how the results came out. they came out all of them had 11 but sausage sizzle which had 12 I thought porridge would win because it was in the lead by 6 then, and I thought hot chocolate would lose because it had the least. then it started to get more even the then sausage sizzle was winning by 1 and there was 4 more to go. heres my poster I made.

what winter breakfast would you choose out of all of the options?

Maths

This week in maths, our create was to roll a dice or flip a coin 30 of times. we had to make a tally chart.  I choose to do a coin flip and I flipped the coin 30 times. I was surprised how the results came out because its a 50, 50 chance of getting each sides. I got 11 heads and tails got 19. After we did the tally chart we had to make a create about how we understood our task and we had to make a bar chart. here’s my work

I enjoyed this create because I like doing tally charts and any types of graph

do you ever use tally charts in your work?

PBL

 Over the course of term one we have looked at the question: How can we help build a resilient community? We are using something called The Resilience Project to understand simple tricks to make our lives better.

I have learnt that Empathy is when you put yourself into other people’s shoes.

The whole school had a showcase evening to look at all the students’ creations and learn more about The Resilience Project.

Here is an invite I made:

For the showcase evening I worked with Mac and George.

We decided to create a podcast Because we thought it would be cool to tell people what empathy is in our words.

Here is my final creation:

video link

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to the showcase.

I now know more about and understand what Empathy is and how I can use it in my life to be happier.

Throughout the creating process I feel like I helped my group really well. I could have been better with helping to set up . 

If I was to do this again, next time I would try to help set up a bit more.

Have you ever been in a PBL showcase?

The Zoo

Yesterday we finished our writing. Here my writing enjoy.

Last year, Mum, Dad, Harry and I went to the zoo. Dad was wearing a wooly cardigan jersey with green red and orange well I was and I was wearing a green and red buttoned shirt. Harry and I were jumping everywhere. We were so excited. 

Stuck in traffic, we could hear beeping, shouting and a waling of silence. Harry and I were bored and secretly kicked him in the shin without him watching and then we started to punch each other, kick and smack harder and harder as we were fighting it out. Angrily dad shouted, ¨If you don’t stop this now I will turn back and we won’t go to the zoo.¨

When we finally got there, we had to stand in a long queue. It was so slow I wanted to leave.After what felt like one hour we finally reached the ticket window 

Dad who hated paying for anything began fighting with the ticket man.he tried to get harry in for half price (which is when I pretend to be with another family. Cage by cage, animal by animal, foot by foot we wandered around the zoo.we saw an elephant weeping in circles padding in an inch of water.Creature to creature, cage by step by step, we wandered around the zoo. We watched an elephant swaying from side to side and bobbing its head constantly. I thought it must be really depressed. It looked as lonely as a needle in a haystack.

 

“Can we have brunch now?” moaned harry.

“We’ve only just got here!” Snapped Snappy Dad.

“But we are starving.” I moaned.

“I don’t care, you’ll have to wait!” Yelled dad.

“But I didn’t have anything for breakfast!” Cried Harry, fizzing with anger.

The vane on his forehead was about to pop, dad turned to us and roared,

¨Stop moaning or we will go back home. 

Ever the placemaker, mum quickly rooted around for the bag of snacks. It contained moreish mini sausages and refreshing red apples.  

 

Movinging on we saw a tiger and a jaguar, the tiger was deadly orange furry, the jaguar was yellow, spotty, big and also deadly. Harry and I started to roll around on the ground fighting. Mum thought, ‘why do my kids have to alway fight when on a trip can’t we be at peace for once?’ She raised her voice, in commotion, ”Could you just stop for a moment”.

 

Lucily, she was drowned out by an announcement about the penguin show.

Dad decided to share his favorite funny (very bad) penguin joke. He was laughing so hard that he almost fell into the water. After a great display it was time for lunch.herby sausages , great clips and fresh garden peas. We were a lot happier now that our tummies were full and we were ready to go to the next animal.looking foolish going back a forwood.Its coat is as white as clouds on a cloudy day.snap! Bang! Kaboom! Suddenly Harry and I were throwing punches again on the concrete with stones.Mum had had it.She was a nuke about to hit the ground and explode.

She said we belonged in cages, not the Animals The family day was officially over.  this book is based on the Zoo by Anthony Brown brown
