Squared Cubed

A few days back , we had been making squared cubes. One of them were 5 x 5 x 5 = 125, because it was 5 to the power of 3 and that is how we say it in Year 8. The way we say it in Year 7 is '5 Cubed". Some students enjoyed making squared cubed but some  struggled to make them.

Origami

For our Visual Arts, Room 12 made origami dinosaurs, butterflies, flowers and many more things. We went on YouTube to find some origami things to make for our class. Once we found it, we asked Mrs Golder if we can have some paper. We all started to fold and make them and when we finished we then handed it over to Mrs Golder.

My Daffodil

For Daffodil Day all the classes in my school had to make daffodils and the best daffodil was  sent up to the office and the person received  a certificate from Mrs Vickers. The best daffodils are placed in a vase in the library. Also on that day Mrs Vickers handed out the daffodils to those who donated a gold coin.

The Good Conduct Certificate

On Monday the 31st of August, I was awarded the Good Conduct certificate and on the certificate, it said "for being an excellent good role model."  
My thoughts and feelings of earning this certificate made me really happy, proud of myself and I thought to myself that I was the best.

Water Usage by Humans and Plants

Every form of life needs water to live and survive. Humans and plants have the same similarity like we need water to drink and plants need water to grow. Humans and plants are the same because they both need water to grow.

However, humans differ from plants in that, they use water to flush the toilet, shower, gardening, cooking, washing, recreation, dishwashing, washing cars, buildings and constructions, cleaning, ‘ agriculture - irrigation. Water is important to us because we can survive with it.

Plants contain more water than animals do, and most of them are 90 - 95 percent of water.

Plants are different from humans in the way they use water to support themselves. Plants take water through their roots and green plants need it for photosynthesis and that is how they create sugar for their foods.

`

Did you know if we waste water then we might probably run out and we would starve without water in our bodies?

Having Madd Messenger Over

Having the Madd Messenger at our school was good because they taught us about our future and about what we want to do in life. The people from our school that were there were Rooms 12 and 11. Caroline was the one that taught us more about our future. I liked the activities we did. We followed the person who was calling the instructions. We had to go both sides and to go back and forward. After that Petia Wilson drew a  picture while the music was playing. After Petia Wilson drew the picture, Rooms 11 and 12 took photos.
