Amazon Fires

This year there have been 72,843 deadly fires in the Amazon rain forest. That is a nearly 80 percent jump compared to the number of fires the country experienced over the same time period in 2018. That means that there has been a load more fires then last year which is pretty bad.
Did you know that there has been 72,843 fires in the Amazon rain forest ?

Here are some photos of the Rain forest fires.

Arts

This week we had to finish our calendar art for our calendar art we made a design on aboriginal art. We had to get a stencil there was once shaped as a boomerang, a kangaroo, a snake, a lizard, and small snake and lizard. I chose to do a boomerang and a small lizard for my art. We had to do a practice one on a small peace of paper with our cotton buds and paint. After we had finished our practice one we had to do our one that was going up in the hall. Once we have done that we had to make our real one for our calendar art here is my one to go into the hall.

Enlargements

This week in maths we have had to chose a type of maths to do and find out the art involved and heaps more. I chose enlargements to do for maths and we had to make a DLO for the thing we chose. After have had done our DLO we then had to make our outlines for our art and then after we had to either pastel it or colour it with coloured pencils.

This is the art I made. 

Transformation Puzzle

This week we were doing tasks around recognising and representing transformations. I have made a challenge that I would like for you to try and figure out ! You can figure it out by reading the picture below and following what it says .

This week we also tried out this new game about transformation. We used the game to learn how to get other images into the right square like above. Here is the link to this game. HERE I got up to level 14 what level can you get up too? 

Recycling

This week in writing we have been working on writing a persuasive text about Recycling we did this in groups of two here is our writing .

Recycling is something that has already been used for something else and
made into something new.

There are many products that can be recycled such as glass, paper ,
Some Plastics, And also some Fabrics.

This is a worldwide problem and everyone should be thinking about this
problem before it gets out of hand..

Everyone in the world must recycling before it's too late.

Firstly recycling conserves resources .

Recycling often saves natural resources through conversation by using
materials more than once. Making a ton of paper from recycled stock saves
up to 17 trees and uses 50% less water. For example we could recycle the
paper that we use everyday so we can save more of the trees.

Recycling saves energy.

Everyday we could be saving energy by the products being recycled like
paper, plastic, metal, etc . If we recycle it will be saving energy it will
require much less processing to turn them into usable material.
We could save energy and also the environment.
There is about 50 billion of sewage that flow each year .

Finally recycling helps protect the environment.

Recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions,
which helps to tackle the climate change which helps the environment.
Which can make the environment not safe for people as they might get sick.
We should recycle so we don't wreck the environment and we save our lives. 

I fully convinced that cycling is a must because the earth is dying and
WE NEED TO HELP! 

Street Map

Today in maths me and my group had to make a Street map . In our Map we had to make streets and houses that were perpendicular and parallel plus more . We had to put houses and buildings which were different shapes . Have you ever made a Street map ? If you haven't its very fun and you also can colour the map in which makes it look much better .

Jake Bailey

Today we had Jake Bailey come into our school and give us a speech about his cancer if you done know who Jake Bailey is you can search him up and find his book . You might like to read his book too. He came into our school and said a lot of stuff about his process in cancer and how he wasn't very scared at the start of his cancer but more grateful that they knew what was wrong with him!
