Term 4, Week 3 Refelection

Hi again! Even though I don't even know who I'm talking to right now! 

Anyway this week we did those 3 test's... they were annoying. But at least I did good (i hope)

We also did out calendar art. 

and then we did like more explanation writing for reason.

OH! YEAH!
We also had athletics! 

That was like my highlight because I jumped the highest in high jump!!!! I got's first!!!!

Then I got 2nd in sprints, i ran faster then I ever have. (I didn't even know i could run that fast!)

My Version Of How Hide and Seek goes when I play

“1,2,3”

Panic flooded my mind, where do I go to hide?! My blood was rushing, I could feel the adrenaline rushing through me! Where do I go to hide?!... I sprint down the driveway, and jump the wall between our property and Collins. I didn’t dare move a muscle.

“7,8,9,10! Ready or not here I come!”

Ah Oh! I didn’t get a very good hide spot here they come! I don’t move, I hold my breath. They walk past, I let out a huge sigh of relief.

“BOO! HA I FOUND YOU LEVI!”

AHH! They got me………...

What every Community Needs! :)

All AROUND the world there are many different types of communities! There are tribals communities, Farming Communities, Isolated Communities, and communities inside of cities.

Our topic is not about communities, but what about a community needs.

A healthy community needs things such as!

WiFi

Wifi allows our devices to connect to each other or online websites wirelessly or by using bluetooth.

Bluetooth is a wireless app you can get on your phones or computers or even your car radio. It allows all of this to happen without having to use wires.

Wifi is important to the community in many ways. It is very useful in schools because most schools have moved to chrome-books. Having internet has now allowed people to learn new things from other countries.

Wifi allows us to stream music, stream movies and online tools.

Maybe in the future, wifi will allow us to do more.

Recreation & Pastimes

Recreation is an activity that one would do for enjoyment  when one is not working or not busy.

A pastime is an activity that one does regularly basically like a hobby. An example of a recreation/pastime is the movies or the Aquatic center. People would usually go to these places to have a good time or to just hang out. It is important to do these things because “kids in sport stay out of court!”, also because you watching movies with your mates can help increase your dopamine levels.

Dopamine is a compound present in your body that is kind of like your happiness.

Doing recreational activities makes you happy and that is the key element to living a good life.

Restaurants/Cafes FOOD!

All communities should have more than just a fish’n chips shop. They should have Restaurants, Cafes, Supermarkets and quality fast food joints.

What are Restaurants and Cafes?

Restaurants are places where families or couples can go to have dinner served to them. This way they don’t have to cook.

Cafes are the kind of place you go in the morning for a nice cup of coffee or a nice hot scone.

Fast food is something you can have whenever you really feel like it.

These kinds of place’s are very important because, humans need to consume some sort of food to survive and also for the fact of that it can give families a break.

Best of all going out can allow you to catch up with people, and therefore giving you happiness!

Which is the key element! OF LIVING A MAGNIFICENT LIFE!

Mummification!

Mummification is one of the oldest and effective way to preserve the bodies of Emperors or important beings. Mummification was used by many different cultures such as, The Aztecs the Pacific Islanders, and the Egyptians who had truly mastered this art!

The first step in the process of mummification is evisceration. Evisceration is the removal of all internal organs. Everything is removed except the heart. It was believed that without a heart you could not pass on to the afterlife and the Egyptians thought the heart was the centre of their intelligence. Everything is removed the lungs, stomach, intestines were all washed and packed away in natron which will dry them out. Then a long hook is used to mush the brain up and let it ooze out of the nose.

Then the body is covered in salt and wrapped in natron to dry out the body, then in 40 days time the body is unwrapped and more salt is added and once again wrapped in linen cloth,and a waterproof tension is added and then buried in his/her tomb and buried. Then his/her journey to the afterlife will begin.

I'm so smart :)

Reflection - Term 4, Week 1/2

Yes, Yes I am aware of this. I understand that I have never posted a reflection in my life for any of the other terms. Then why do it now you say?

Well, my answer... PEOPLE CHANGE!

Anyway, For the past 2 weeks, we have been preparing for this HUGE MEGA HUGE TEST! Apparently its like a huge deal. Yea Right...

Anyway, Mr.Wood has been teaching us how to do Explanations. 

If you want to see one go look at my other blog posts because I am NOT writing one because your to lazy to make 4 simple clicks...

Every morning we do basic facts, and then we get into maths buddy.

So really nothing much has happened...

So I may as well end this here...

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! The random kid named Levi comes sprinting down the hall and face plants...

Well that just happened!

Anyway we have also begun doing Passion Projects. I know what you are thinking because it's exactly what I thought... 

Passion projects, is where you find something to do that is interesting that we can leave behind at Greymain as a legacy. I am making a model house out of wood and am hoping to put it in the office at Greymain so people can see it an be like "Oh My! What an amazing piece of work! Who made it?"

Then Mr.Wood tells them about how I was the most amazing student he's ever had. 

(Yea! I wish right!)

Anyway Bye bye... :)

How To Write An Explanation (D.L.O)

Okay, First I will explain what an Explanation is.

Here is the Internets version's " A statement or account that makes something clear"

or "A reason or justification given for an action or belief"

Now here's my version "A statement or piece of writing that makes something clear"

Pretty straight forward right?

Yeah I thought so to...

The first step in writing an explanation is to plan. Which can look something like this.

Topic: How To Write An Explanation

Para 1- Topic Sentence (Example) 

Para 2- Elaboration

  

Para 3- Global Intro/Conclusion

Global Intro-

So pretty much what I am writing now is an explanation about how to write and explanation literally!!! 

Watch carefully! I am about to literally write you a damn good explanation!!!

!Topic Sentence!

First you need to write a topic sentence like I am demonstrating so very well right now.

Then you will right about your first topic, then your second then your third. You MUST have 3 paragraphs, one for each topic.

Then you need your Global intro and your conclusion!

Easy Enough Right? Well I hate to break it to you. It really is that easy...
Bye!
Main that took so long, and was so boring...
WAIT! I thought we stopped RECORDING!
GOD DARN IT Jonny!!!!!!!

Explanation Practice For Test

Planning:

Topic- French Polynesian Islands 

Para 1- Shark Problem!!!

Para 2- Native Fish To The Islands

Para 3- The Islands/Conclusion

Global Intro- 

French Polynesia is made up of 100 islands in the south pacific ocean! These stretch for more than 2,000 kilometres! The islands are well known for there amazing coral fringed lagoons and their over the water bungalow hotels.

Shark Problem!

Ya know, when you happen to have a massive natural aquarium filled with over 100's of different species of fish! It really does come with a price, Ya know what they say! Where there's fish! There is also sharks!

The fishing there is amazing, but if you manage to hook a big fish or even a small one, the sound of of a fish in distress attracts the sharks, so like sometimes you will be like "HEY! I got a huge fish!" then when you pull it up onto the boat, it will be like a huge 3 meter long tiger shark. Rangiroa only has 1,500 inhabitants, most of them are squeezed into a 6 mile long strip of limestone barley 200ft yards wide. This area is near a lagoon that is very deep and also just happens to be that this is where the sharks breed and feed. Mainly on the plentiful marine life but sometimes the occasional human. 

Native fish to the Islands!

There are like 50  native marine fish in the islands and then there are 13 freshwater species as well.. Some of these include, the all mighty Parrot fish!  (I wonder if it like mimics you under water like a parrot would...)

Funny thing is you are allowed to catch there native fish and eat them, kind of weird uh, because in most places the police are like nope, "Zip, nada you can't eat that fish or I will taser you!!".

Apparently some fish are so big, they will like come up to the dock and you can feed them, which is kind of weird but WHO CARES!

The Islands!

There are 100 islands, some of them are Tahiti, Bora Bora, Mo'orea, Tahaa etc etc...

All of these islands are amazingly magnificent! The water is crystal clear! The fish are amazing even the sharks are kind of friendly! (DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THAT! IF YOU DIE TO ONE! YOUR FAULT!)

The natives are also really nice. The main language's they speak are French and English.

Like what the heil! That is the weirdest combination of languages ever! Am I right? No? Oh okay...
