Rubbish Every Year

Rubbish made by R6 per Year

The total number of rubbish R6 made every year is 16 760. Chippie packets, fruit peels and cores are the most rubbish made. It is awful that chippie packets are the most rubbish made because it is not biodegradable.

Rubbish made by 9 Classes per Year

The total of 9 classes’s rubbish, 150 840 is a large amount of rubbish! Thats about how many rubbish PBS made every year. That is so much rubbish that goes in the landfill.

Yummy

Never use the word YUMMY, our teacher said. It doesn’t mean a thing! Try… delightful, pleasant, delicious, tempting, mouthwatering, tasty, appetizing, flavourful, juicy– the choice is as long as a string! But please, never use the word YUMMY, it just doesn’t mean a thing!

Are Farm Animals Important to Us?

The Greenhouse Effect

The Earth is getting hotter by emmision trapping the heat and buncing it back to Earth.  Emmision is producted by vehicles, farm animals and factories.  If icebergs (Northpole, Southpole) melts by the heat caused by emmision, little islands will get covered by water.

Holiday Reading Report

During the holidays the year seven and eight students did a program called Holiday Reading.  We needed to read three novels at home, and choose an activity to do when we finished reading the novels.  We did it so we could get better at our reading, writing and other subjects.

The activities available are set up in a Symbaloo, made by teachers of both the classes, Room 6 and 9.  Some of the activities Included Character photo, Radical Reading, Get active, Glorious Food, Setting, Character Portrait, Rewrite the Ending, New Cover and choose your own.  It is really simple and easy to do so it saves the student’s time.

I did Glorious food, Choose your own and Setting.  I used Google draw for my Setting activity, using shapes, lines, curves and scribble.  It was really hard to do.  Some of the things were hard to color because the line didn’t match up, so I drew it again and linked it up.  The main colors are green, white and red, because I think that the place I’m drawing is an Italian restaurant.

When the activity is finished, we posted it onto our blogs.  We need to include the book’s name and the author and illustrator’s name too.  Afterward the teachers commented on our post, then we commented back..

Holiday Reading was kind of fun because you can do things like drawing and cooking.  Some of the students didn’t achieve the goal of three books, some didn’t even do one.  I felt like my reading had gone up a level, and as a bonus we get prizes too.

Biodegradable?

Biodegradable?

If something is biodegradable it will break down into the Earth.

• Woolen Socks
• Banana Skin
• Plywood

These things take 5 years to break down:

Non biodegradable things do not break down.

• Plastic
• Metals
• Rubber

That was Summer

Have you ever smelled summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were window shopping

in a night market

or trying all the delightful food

and looking at all the alluring accessories?

Remember the ice cream’s scent

and the refreshing smell of mint?

That was summer.

Have you ever heard summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you relaxed on your chair

or were just chilling on the balcony

and you heard the croaking of the cicadas?

Remember how you tried to catch them

but they’re silenced?

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you are betting with you friend

or just feel like a challenge

and you tried swimming in a river?

Remember how you felt so freezing and cold

but you still stayed in the river?

That was summer.

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you are clenching an ice cream

or rummaging through the fridge looking for popsicles,

and how satisfying it is when you took a lick?

Remember how nice and cool the popsicles are

and the ice cream?

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you came out of the house

waiting for the rain to stop

and caught a glimpse at the muddy and watery puddle

the rain had created?

That was summer.

Today we played the Algebra Game.  To play you need substitution to answer the question.  It was easy because I know my times tables and square.
