Aboriginal Boomerangs- Social Studies

Boomerangs 


In Social Studies we are on the topic of Migration a so we have been studying everything about it and what it is. Further on in the topic, we got to choose between Aboriginal Boomerangs or Refugees so I decided to do the boomerang one because I felt like I wasn't intelligent enough to know what the topic is.

The inspiration behind my design is Kaiden and I just looked up Aboringanail designs and so I drew suns ( One side had red flames around it and the other one is like orange fire). The black represents just lines.

What have I learnt?:
They come in all different shapes and sizes because it’s all depending on their geographic or tribal origins and intended function. People say that Australia made the first one BUT they were spotted in ancient Europe, Egypt, and North America. It helped the indigenous people hunt for stuff. That the boomerang can be used as a sport and also for entertainment.

English: Another World - Diversity

What does Diversity mean to me?: My definition is diffrent backgrounds and culture. 

What did you already know? : I knew some writing styles when we were doing essays

What did you learn this year? : How to make a good structured essays

Diversity meaning people of all different backgrounds and culture. So in English this year we have been learning about people from different worlds eg Silent voice. Silent voice is a Japanese movie that is about this guy bullying a girl that is deaf. This helped me learn that don't bully anyone if you don't know their story or background. When I came into English I knew some different writing styles BUT out of this year so far I have learnt how to make good structured essays.

Questions about the Profiling task:

Who was your profile target?: My target was a toddler that is a vegetarian.

What was your recipe decision based on?: I chose those recipes because It was vegetarian, it's cooked for 30 mins- or less,

BUT my recipe wasn't chosen because it was over-budget. So we went with Sara's recipe which was " Mini apple and berry crumble"

Explain why we chose the recipe: We all chose that recipe because my recipe was over budget, Joel's one didn't work out, Liz's one was good but it would have been quick to make ( her one was milo flavoured toast and it would take 3 mins).













-Liz's Recipe ( The Milo one)



















- Sara's Recipe ( Mini Apple and Berry Crumble)
How does it fit in with the nutritional model or a dinner plate?:

It fits in because the crumble topping is made out of oats BUT whereas the inside it's a fruit soo it's a 50% carbs and 50% Fruits.

What changes did we make to the recipe to improve it?:
First time making it: The berries are nice, the crumble was made out of white sugar instead of brown.

Second time making it: The crumble topping was lacking butter and crunch so add a little bit more butter and more oats. The apple crumble was too sweet but as for the berry one, it was perfect and nice. The crumble was made out of brown sugar.

What were the positives of our meal?:
It was easy to bake, the timing of it was good ( meaning it didn't cook for so long)

Conclusion:
In conclusion, I have learnt how to budget, check the nutritional labels, and different dietary needs

Acid Rain - Science

Acid Rain

  1. What is acid rain?:  Acid Rain is when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and Natural gas escapes through the air to form Carbon and Sulfur dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxides. That will float all the way to the clouds and will blend its molecules into the clouds and when it eventually rains it will turn into Acid Rain.
  2. The diagram shows you that the Factory will release fossil fuels and then the chemicals will blend into the clouds when it eventually rains the rain will turn into acid rain. That will affect the water, building, and the forest around us.
