For our talking and listening assessment the allstars did their what makes me… project.We had to have the issue or concern, definition, Effect-on the world,people,animals, Affect-on me and What we can do about it. I have done global warming, this is my speech….

Global Warming is going to make the sea levels rise. All mayjor cities are going to be underwater first because their on the coast. It’s a CATASTROPHE!! Global Warming is basically us polluting the planet. The ozone layer is beginning to disintegrate and the hole is getting larger and larger.There will be a massive effect on us and animals because the more the ozone layer disappears the more the sun’s rays beat done on us, which causes sun cancer.Global Warming affects me because well I am going to die as well so basically, yeah I am going to die!To help we can use less vehicles and energy or electricity. We should use cars for long distances and power when necessary.

That is my speech, it was a bit short but it is to the point.          :)

This week the 07 allstars have been investigating different periods in history like The ancient civilizations, the medieval era and the modern era.  We have to chose 3 countries to research the different time periods( the time periods are in  bold).

The countries I am doing are Ancient China, Medieval Spain and Modern Era France. Here are some interesting facts about each civilization:

Ancient China-  

• The Chinese invented paper, gunpowder, matches, the compass, the seismograph and the umbrella
• Ancient China didn’t have banks
• The Great Wall of China was built to keep the Mongols and Turkic Tribes out of China.

Medieval Spain

• Medieval Spain was a battlefield where Christians tried to regain control from the Moors
•  The Moors invaded Spain before the 8th Century

Modern Era France

• France fought in the First world war along with Britain, Russia vs Germany and Austria.
• Jacques Chirac became Prime Minister of France in 1986
• Jacques was the 22nd president of the French Republic

On Wednesday the 15th years 3-6 attended the Athletics Carnival at Campbell oval. We are separated into different house to make it more of a competition and to celebrate your victory with your house members, the houses are Bradman-blue, Freeman-yellow, Fraser-green and Newcombe-red.  My house is Bradman.

There are various races to compete in like the 100m, 200m or 800m. I competed in all 3 and came 3rd in the 100m and 200m. In the 800m I came last with Nancy. There is also  relays - Snr girls and boys, Jnr girls and boys, Captain ball- Snr girls & boys, Jnr girls & boys, Tunnel ball and tug-of-war but this yr we didn’t get to do tug-of-war.      
In relays all of Bradmans relay teams came last apart from 1 and it was………………………. THE SENIOR GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in the Senior girls relay team with Gloria, Marcella and Kimberly. The Athletics carnival was a blast ! But there is only 1 winner and it was………………. FRASER! Fraser was happy that they won most people were okay with it because Fraser was a new champion. It was a fun day full of competitiveness, hard work and enthusiasum.

07  Allstars have made their own small worlds in the holidays. We had to make a small based on

• Fairy Tales
• Fantasy worlds
• History
• Under water
• Anime
• Fact

And many more.

My Small world is a small fantasy world like Samorost but with ideas of my own. My small world is set in space, a little fairy Stella, her sister Bella who is NOT a fairy and her dog Flipps live in this planet deep underground. The planets creatures and plants are very mysterious like the evil vampire trees, bat-bats and ghostly spirit creatures who wonder around my world.

I walk around this enchanted planet unaware what I will discover. The vegetation is lush and full of colour, as I walk past a florescent pink tree I hear a sudden burst of thunder. I look back with caution, I can’t believe my eyes, standing in front of me is… a tree!! But not just any ordinary tree it looked more like a vampire tree. I could tell by the wings as large as an elephant and razor sharp teeth. Surrounding the vampire tree were bat-bats with baseball bat bodies and vampire wings and teeth slightly smaller than the tree.      

 S23p have been working on 1 of our weakest points in maths. I chose Division because I don’t really understand how to do it even though I can do multiplication well. We also have to present what we’ve learnt to the class. My presentation will teach the audience how to divide and get a whole number and a remainder. I will know if my audience understood what I was presenting, they will be listening to what I am saying and they will be facing me.  

How to Divide
Method
1# You think how many times the smaller number goes in to the larger number.
2# You have your answer
If there is a remainder this is what you do:
e.g 7 divide by 75
1# Think how many times 7 goes into 65
2# You have your answer. 9
3#You times the small number in the equation and the answer. 9×7= 63
4# You subtract the big number in the equation and the answer you got from step 3. 65-63=2
Final Answer: 9 and 2 7ths

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is about a China Rabbit called Edward who hasn’t loved before. He is owned by a girl called Abilene who loves him very much but he doesn’t really care. One night, Abilene’s grandmother named Pellegrina told Edward and her a story about a princess who was turned into a warthog because she didn’t love anybody even though many loved her. A few days later The Tulanes travel to London but Pellegrina stays in Eghpt Street. On the way to London 2 boys named Martin and Amos took Edward from Abilene and started throwing him , Abilene tackled Amos and Edward fell over board. He spent 297 days in the ocean until on the 297 day he was found by a fisherman called Lawrence. Lawrence took Edward home and gave him to his wife Nellie ( she thought Edward was a girl and named him Susanna), they were very happy until their daughter Lolly put Edward in the garbage bin. He ended up at a dump and every day he would listen to Ernest who said he was the king of the world. He spent 118 days at the dump until on that day a dog named Lucy and a man called Bull found him. They loved him as well then he was lost again. The last people to love him were Bryce and Sarah Ruth who later died. After Sarah Ruth died Bryce didn’t have a job so he made Edward dance for money. He finally thought that he had enough money to buy some food so he went to a diner called Neal’s Diner, but unfortunatley he didn’t have enough. The chef and the boss of the diner Neal broke Edward into 21 pieces. Bryce gave Edward to a doll maker to fix Edward but he wanted somthing in return, he wanted Edward. Bryce said okay and never saw Edward again. Edward is displayed for many days until someone buys him. The person who bought him was Maggie Abilene’s daughter.

Yellow Hat:Positive

It was interesting and fun to write about Samorost because we did alot of thinking and imagining. It reacquired alot of thinking to write imaginative sentences about Samorost. It was fun playing Samorost because we worked as a team.

Black Hat: Negative

There was one thing about writing about Samorost that was really difficult, it was writing the very first sentences when you had no idea what to write.

Red Hat: Emotion

I liked Samorost writing because of the imaginative writing.
