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.

What have I done this term? - Home Economics

This Term we have been learning about " My Family Food Bag" to more specific in the topic we learned Neutral labels, Budgeting, and Dietary needs.

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.

Science research- Metals

In science, we are learning about metal....so in class, we have to create some type of learning to show what we want to learn about metals, here is my presentation.

Chlidren Of Blood and Bone- English Essay

Children of blood and bones

Ever thought of what type of writing methods writers use in their story? In Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, The author used methods such as symbolism, Events/ Plot, Multiple perspectives to engage the reader with the text. These methods help the reader to engage with different writing methods to hook their readers in.

Symbolism is used to help the reader understand what values of items or clothes the person in the story has a connection to that item of clothing/items. Here is one of the examples…. Chapter 47 - Inan

“I drop the pawn in the dirt and kick it aside. I must draw a line in the sand. I’ve been a sheep. A sheep when my kingdom needed me to act like a king.” That sênet pawn represents his father, every time he holds on to it, it reminds him of his father. Once he drops it, it represents his disobey to his father. The other words such as “ line in the sand”, and “Sheep” it’s a metaphor. Like the line in the sand means he has put his wall saying” this is where I stop” and “sheep” means like a follower. I think that Tomi included symbolism to her story is to make the readers relate to it.

Events/Plot is used to help the reader understand the different twists and turns in the book and also to keep the reader entertained and wanting to read more. For example..In Chapter 12, Inan brings Zélie to the dreamscape for the first time and they both realize that Inan is a Maji. In the movie Star Wars we later find out the Luke and Lea are Brother and Sister and Darth Vader is there dad. In that movie that was the twist that got me. I think that Tomi included events/plot to her story is to make the reader entertained and to think what’s going to happen next.

Multiple perspectives are used to help the reader understand different point of views. For example...Zélie is from a poor village, Her community is made to pay higher taxes because they have white hair, She wants to bring magic back to her people. As for Amari and Inan they live in a castle in Lagos, There community feels hatred towards the Maji and they are wealthy BUT Amari wants to save the Maji as for Inan he wants to obey his fathers wishes to become king and to get rid of all the maji. The author also included multiple perspectives in the book which is where they show Inan’s point of view is when he is stabbed by his father. The next chapter showed Amari’s point of view when Inan was getting stabbed. I think Tomi included multiple perspectives to her story is to make the reader see people's different point of views.

As you can see Tomi wanted to add these Methods/Techniques because she wanted her readers to know the different ways to make your storying more entertaining by adding these techniques/ methods such as symbolism, multiple perspectives, events/plot, and etc. Symbolism meaning the charter connection to the object, multiple perspectives meaning the different perspectives/ points of view, events/plot is when there are different twists and turns and it builds up your suspense.

Corrosion Experiment- Science

Aim: To investigate the Factors that cause iron to rust.

Hypothesis: I believe ( which makes me sound smart instead of saying " I think") that the salt water will be effective because salt has a lot of --------( don't know how to describe) chemicals.

Equipment: 5- less test tubes, Test tube RACK, a bung, 5- less iron nails, Nail polish, Vegetable oil, Saltwater, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium, water.

Method:

1. GrAb yA nAiLs ( grab your nails)
2.  gRaB tHe LiQuId yA nEeD ( Grab the liquids you need)
3. pAiNt tHe nAiL aNd wAiT fOr iT tO dRy, oNcE iT iS dRy pLoOp tHe nAiL iN tHe wAtEr. ( paint the nail and wait for it to dry, once it is dry ploop the nail in the water)
4. pUt sOmE OiL iN tHe nExT tEsT tUbE aNd aDd tHe nAiL. ( Put some oil in the next test tube and add the nail)
5. aDd sOmE sAlTwAtEr iN tHe oThEr tEsT tUbE tHeN aDd tHe nAiL. ( add some saltwater in the other test tube then add the nail)
6. tHe nExT tEsT tUbe y'AlL aDd iS cAlcIuM cHloRidE aNd tHeN aDd yOuR nAiL. ( the next test tube y'all add is calcium chloride and then add your nail.)
7. tHe lAsT LiQuId yA aDd iN tHe lAsT tEsT tUbE iS mAgNeSiUm aNd pLoOp yA nAiL iN. ( The last liquid you add in the last test tube is magnesium and ploop your nail in)
8. lEaVe oVeR tHe nExT 4 dAyS aNd y'AlL hAvE y'AlL rEsUlTs. ( Leave over the next 4 days and you'll have your results)

Observation:
The nail polish only had a little rust at the top, but other than that there was some nail polish that came off.
The oil had no rust, it was just oily.
The saltwater caused nothing.
The calcium chloride had only a little rust in it.
The magnesium didn't rust.

Conclusion:
My guess was wrong because I believed that the saltwater would be more effective, but it was only the Calcium Chloride and the Nail polish.
