Shake Out Day

On Thursday it was Shake Out day and we pretended that it was a earthquke and tsunami.  First we had to pretend there was an earthquake.  We went under the tables and covered our head.  Then we had to evacuate in case of a tsunami.  We went across the road and up the hill. I think that the drill went well and we will know what to do when it happens.

Persuavie writing

This week we have been doing persuavie writing to go over it because
we have a test next week. I think it was easy and I liked the task
because I like writing. Here is my writing...

I strongly believe that Dogs make better pets than cats

Firstly I think that dogs are better than cats because Dogs have a purpose such as pig dogs, hunting dogs, duck hunting dogs and deer hunting. Dogs can get you meat and food while cats only eat food, sleep and kill birds.  Also dogs can save you money by catching a pig or something else.

Secondly you can train your dog to be a guide dog which can protect you from getting robbed or other things which cats can't do.

Thirdly the only things cats are good for is killing mice and keeping you company. Dogs however can do both of those things as well as get you all this meat and food, they can save you money just going up in the bush for an 1 hour or 2 and they can help you get exercise.

This is why I strongly believe that dogs are better than cats.

Cleaning the pond

Yesterday me, Cruz Deklan and  Luke started to clean the pond for whitebait season. When we were cleaning the pond we came across some big water spiders and we freaked out but then we got used to the spiders so kept doing what we were doing and overcame our fear of the spiders.  Once te pond is ready we will put baby whitebait in there and when they get bigger we will release them at the Cobden Lagoon for breeding.

My speech

This term I did my speech about skateboarding. Here is my presentation. I started skateboarding last October. Over that time me and my friends have taking some big slams. Skateboarding is really fun because you get to go outside and skate streets with your friends and learn new tricks.

Math Art

This week for maths we had to choose a mathematical art topics and complete 2 tasks.  The first task was to investigate the maths behind the art to make a DLO to teach others.  Then we had to create our own math art.  Here is my art and my DLO.  I found this task easy and fun to do.

This is my dlo for the tessellations

Pest Invasion

This week in reading we have been deciding if possums are pests or they are not. In my opinion they are not a pest because they are fun to trap.  I also and that we should not 1080 them.

Jake Bailey

Yesterday the year 7&8 had a story teller come and talk to us about cancer and how he survived. He found out that cancer when was 18 and then he gave his high school a speech and the speech became world famous and when he was in hospital for 3 days he lost 15 kgs. I learnt form Jake Bailey that you don't worry about stuff in your life that is bad and try and try to turn the bad things into good things.

Statistics

Today in maths we were learning how to make graphs on a google spreadsheet.  This graph shows how many posts I have done in different subjects. I have done mostly literacy and inquiry posts and NO maths posts.



For my second graph we done a graph about what tools we use when we make DLO's.  It shows that I use a lot of photos and writing and no videos so that means that I need to get more creative.
