Writers journal

Today we had to write a piece of writing into our writers journal(That we made last week). What we do is Miss Fisher puts up 2 starters and we pick 1 and do free writing with that as the start. Here is mine:

Today's:
27/10 It was just a game to them, but to me it was the world. They don’t know what it is like being like this, I mean they just challenged a homeless kid on the road; me, to a game of basketball and of course won. They know tricks like things I don’t even know the name of.

And like anything we had a bet, the most embarrassing bet of all, embarrassment. Something no one should ever have to go through. And then me just stumped myself on the ground waiting and wishing my parents would come home soon enough.

People are walking out of shops as stuffed and a turkey, then me as skinny as a well homeless person with no parents. As no one gives a hoop about me, well like one or two dollars I get a day, and yes I’m so grateful for that. Then out of nowhere the best but oddest thing happens to me, no one else but me.

This is not based on a true story.

Last weeks:

11/10 The lights went out. The lights went out, at the wrong time of course, at the time of danger, misfortune, completely unplanned. It wouldn’t have been anyone in my part or would it? No one knew why and there was screaming and shouting, like nothing I have ever heard before. We were in a crisis, a burglary sort of thing. Like at the bank sort of; but we… were in… the airport.

3 men were shouting at us, but we could not see; anyone, anything, it was completely pitch black. This is when someone grabbed me by the wrist dragged me out, “Shh” they whispered; it sounded like… like... my brother. But I lost him a few minutes before the lights went out, how did he know it was me and not one of those men yelling, howling at us to shut up or simply just the wrong person?

When we got out we were surrounded by policemen asking why and how we got out, we had no idea what to say apart from oh yeah there are people in there fearing for their lives. One police man whispered to another then another then everyone was whispering and it must have been about us and what we said because then they ran in while we were shoved into an ambulance.

Jupiter

For homework we got to choose from a list of things to do and I choose to do a planet, Jupiter. This is what i done.

Jupiter

Facts:

• Jupiter is always at -148° which earth is about 16° on average. So about 164° less that earth's(Freezing).
• It was first found in about the 7th or 8th century BC.
• It has 67 moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, to name a few.
• Comparing it to earth there would be 318 Earths to make 1 Jupiter.
• Babylonian astronomers was the person who found Jupiter.
• Jupiter is the 4th brightest planet in the solar system, yet the biggest.
• It has the shortest days out of all the planets; every 9 hours and 55 minutes is one day.
• Jupiter sees the sun every 11.8 earth years.
• The great big spot on jupiter is actually a storm that is so big that it could fit 3 earths inside it. And has been going on for at least 350 years.
• Jupiter has 4 rings that you may not be able to see.
• Eight spacecraft have visited Jupiter.
• Jupiter is a gas planet and it has gravity that bad that it would swash you.

Area, Perimeter, and Volume.

In maths we have been learning about Area, Perimeter, and Volume. We made a got the task to make a poster explaining it and it in a word problem. Here is my on. This is what each and everyone means and my word problems.

Area: Area is the inside of the objects therefore it is 2D. It can either be in Inches, Millimeters, Meters, Centimeters, Km, or Units.Jason Built a rectangular tool shed that is 8 meters wide and has an area of 96 square meters. What is the length?

Perimeter: Is the Length around the Area. For example it can be 6x4=24 because the edges may be 6 one way and 4 another. Yet it can be completely different from the area.Jason Built a rectangular tool shed that is 8 meters wide and has an area of 96 square meters. What is the length?

Volume: is the measure of a 3D shape such as a cube, ball, cylinder, or purimend. It’s units are always cubic  that is, the number of little element cubes that fit inside the figure. A fish is placed in a fish tank that has a length of 75 by 35 cm, the water rises 2cm when, when the fish is placed in. What is the volume of the fish?

This is our poster:

Solo hour in nature

Since it was the first day we got to do something to do with sustainability since that is what we are learning about. We did a solo hour in nature; it was peaceful. But instead of 'hour' we done 40 minutes and it went fast. I found it very fun and no one got to talk, have devices or much, they just got to draw, write, be quiet and admire/learn about nature. I learnt that it was good for me and that I should do it more often.
