The never ending work story

 Work. Work. Work. When does it stop? 

My heads racing I can’t seed straight I feel like I’ve been working for the last nine hours non - stop, but in reality its only been 2. Its now 7 o’clock the suns starting to rise and the birds are chirping loudly. My class starts at 9am and I need to start getting ready soon,  My hearts pounding out of my chest its so loud I can barely get one thought into my head. Its now 8am and I need to start getting ready first I need to get dressed soon after I get dressed I slip my brown boots that have been withered by years of use. On to my cold feet that are small and skinny.

I say bye to my cat bobby “bye bobby” I say while lightly closing the door trying not to frighten him. Its now 8:45am, I only live 5 minutes away from my class so I can walk there. As I get inside my hearts pounding about a million bpm. I hand my easy into my professor. The next day I go to class at the same time I walk in and my heart again is beating about one million bpm. He gives me my results and I got an A+! Im so relieved. All my hard work finally paid off.

Science/ the circle of life

 

Thjis is my diagram about how the bird tomtit live. As you can see the first produces is a plant which is called the primary producer. The second thing you can see is the insects which are called the primary consumers they eat the primary producer.

The third one you can see is the tomtit which is named the secondary predator they eat small insects such as flies and bees. The last one here is the ferret this is the apex predator for this circle because none of the other things can eat or threaten it, The ferret eat insects and small birds life tomtits

Finding the multiples of 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8

At first I found finding multiples quite difficult and confusing until I realized how easy it was because of how many shortcuts I learnt.

Finding the multiples is easier than I thought eg. If you are trying too find the multiples of 5 all you have to do is count up in 5's therefore the multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 , 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 ect.

The multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ect

I made this blog post to show you how I understand finding the multiples and I hope this helped you understand more about  how to find the multiples of numbers. 

Can you guess the emotion?

 She sits at her desk waiting to be handed the paper that would decide her future. At first the butterflies in her stomach were tiny but now have transformed themselves into big raging boulders causing her to feel anxious. She grabs her pens from her hot pink school bag and places them lightly on her oak scarred desk that had withered by years of use and etchings of former students. Sitting by the window help calm and relax her and she can distract herself by looking out into the lush paddocks. She feels calm because of this and wishes the test will start soon.

p Finally the teacher hands her the paper and says she can begin she grabs her first pen off the edge of the desk almost causing the rest to fall. The tip of her pen touches the paper and no ink seems to appear. She tries the second pen and the story goes the same way, finally she tries the last pen praying that this one would work, she grabs the pen with a lot  of grip because of how much stress she is under, she then places the tip of the pen onto the paper and when she sees a little dot of ink a sigh of relief makes the whole class stare.

Cheetah Diagram

 

The audience for scientific diagrams can differ. The Diagram I've made  has an audience for older people because the diagram is black and white and has more complex words.

The purpose of this diagram is to show/inform people of the cheetah and to label all of the different body parts of a cheetah.

The visuals of scientific diagrams can vary through many different options. For my different diagram I picked to make it a black and white theme because I wanted to be for a older audience.

Scientific diagrams can contain many different symbols, for my diagram I chose to use lines because I wasn't trying to symbol movement. If you use arrows in your diagram you are trying to symbol movement or sunlight ect.

The words in scientific diagrams can differ. My diagram was made for a older audience therefore it has more complex words and longer sentences.

Multiplication

 Today in maths we did a multiplication test. I got 99 / 100 and I got a time of 6 minutes and 2 seconds which is better than I have done before. Next week my goal will be my seven times tables because those are hardest for me. The method I think worked well for me was missing out all the sums I needed to think about and leaving them till the end.

Scientific diagrams

 Explaining scientific diagrams

Scientific diagrams are made up of several different elements. The elements differ from purpose, audience, visuals, symbols and labels. 

Scientific diagrams are usually made to inform you of new information.

Purpose:

 The purpose of these scientific diagrams is to give information. We know this because of the simple factual language that is used for example the labels in in the first text I read such as warmth, sap ect. Or ‘a low basket will not interfere with root growth ‘ in the second text’.

Audience:

The audience for scientific diagrams can differ. I know this because the first text I read ‘how do plants grow’  has an audience for yr ⅚ because of how brightly coloured the diagram is, and the second text I read ‘how to grow an apple tree’ would be young adults because it has more complex words,  less colour and  longer sentences such as ‘set root ball on undisturbed soil to prevent setting’.

 

VIsuals:

Scientific diagrams visuals can vary between many different options. The first text I read ‘how do plants grow’ had many different fonts and colours because it was made for a younger audience and The second text I read ‘planting an apple tree’ was very plain and had more complex colours and words which was made for an older audience.

Symbols:

Scientific diagrams contain many different symbols. Such as arrows which show movement like in ‘how do plants grow?’ There are three arrows that are titled warmth and light because they symbolize the light from the sun nourishing the plants. 

Or in text two ‘how to grow an apple tree’ they use lines which do not symbol  movement but they connect the diagram and the text together.

Words:

The words in scientific diagrams can vary between many options the first piece of text I read ‘how do plants grow had very plain single words because it was made for a younger less mature audience. The second piece of writing I read had more complex words such as biodegradable, low - profile and stabilize because it is made for an older audience.

  

Adrenaline forest

Yesterday a number of students in my class went on an adventure to Adrenaline forest.

First we had to take the vans. then when we got there got out and introduced ourselfs to the instructors and they showed us how to work the harness ect.

Once we got up high I was scared but once we finished the 3rd course I was happy and me and Ava decided to move on to the fifth one which we thought would be semi easy we were extremely wrong. We got up so high and I got stuck but I managed to get my self out of it. Overall it was a breath taking experiment and I would love to do it again.

Photosynthesis

This is my diagram.

It explains photosynthesis,

And the method to grow plants.
