week 4 term 2

This week I have learnt a lot about chimpanzees because my report was about it. I wrote my introduction, diet, habitat, size and color, growing up and i still need to finish my conclusion. They can do so much with their hands and if they want to eat a whole bunch of ants and termites from a nest the will poke it with a twig or a blade of grass and all the bugs will cling onto it so they can eat it. My reading task is called Raymond's run which is about a competitive short distance runner called Hazel with a big brother called Raymond who is a down syndrome, but she acts like Raymond's mum because she doesn't want anyone talking bad stuff about him. I did a lot of maths and and learnt a lot about fractions. We did science on Tuesday and Friday and on Friday we learnt about moving objects and also friction We had to make a marble run and make it last for 20 second but we will finish it next week and my partner was Quin and I.

Term 2 week 3

On week 3 I was sick and missed out on Monday and Tuesday. We did a fraction test to see how good we are and I have a lot to learn. I learnt an easy way to find out the smallest decimal to the biggest. I learnt to put the decimals in a column and it really helped me understand how to work it out. I finished my truck at wood work and i'm really pleased with it. At science I learnt about a cylinder empty tea bag and we wrote about POEW P for prediction,O for observe, E for explanation and W for what if? We had to light it and see what will happen and if you stand it up and light from the top it will burn and before it burns the whole thing it rises up into the air. We had groups of 4 and see what will happen if we light it differently or something. We lit it from the middle and it was a success, we had a go folding it and lighting it from the left bottom side and it didn't work and we also cut it in half and put one half into the other and it worked.

Week 2 term 2 has gone really fast for me with a lot of exciting things. I did a test about geometry about all the things we learnt, and I learnt about compass bearings and true bearings. I have learnt a ancient sport I've never done before called la crosse. It's when you have a stick and a net at the end of it. I learnt to scoop the ball up and pass to eachother from multiple distances. I learnt the way you ment to throw the ball and catch. I also learnt that you to throw the ball high up for your team mate to catch instead of throwing it straight at them. In tech arts it was our last 2 sessions at wood work to complete our truck. I learnt how to use the bench drill properly and how to assemble bits to your truck. I have not finished my truck yet and hopefully I can have more sessions to finish it. We have started reading groups and I read a story about a girl who is really good at short distance running. So I have done a lot of cool and interesting things for week two and I know week three will be just as better.

On the 1st week of term two i've done some exciting things. On Tuesday and Friday for tech arts we are doing wood work and only have 2 lessons left. I am the only person who hasn't finished their 10 wheels for our trucks that we are making. On week 2 and 3 I have to work hard to finish my truck. I also listened to a stand up comedian called Mike king with a very interesting story about his life fighting depression and addiction such as alcohol  and drugs. In math i learnt a lot of angles in a triangle and at first I didn't get it but once I went to the mat for the 2nd turn I ended up understanding the meaning and finished it. I also learnt to combined two simple sentences into a compound sentence and complex sentences for using aaaawwubbis.
