Electronics

Problem - the Get Ready Get Thru website says that we need an emergency survival kit and top of the list is a torch and spare batteries.

At electronics i am going to design and make an emergency light for myself.

Furnware Room 11

Earlier this term room 10 - 11 and 12 went on a trip to furnware (since we were so good on our last trip) to learn more about innovation. first of all when we got there we were seperated into our classes, room 11/us went to the design room first, to design a table. room 11/us were separated into 5 groups (since we had 25 people in our class today) and together we had to design a table in our groups and the best table will be made for the class that designed it. secondly we went to the warehouse and we were separated into 3 groups. first we went to the warehouse to see where everything was manufactured and made. we got to see all the super cool robots that did welding and bent the steel, it was SOOOO cool. we then went to see all the finished products and where was were powdered/ painted and lastly we went to see where they were stored into shipping containers to be transported internationally.

her are some pictures of us exploring Furnware.

Redskin Writing

Hello, lately in room 11 we have been working on persuasive writing, but nobody was doing their work properly. so Mr Billings said to us that we have to write a piece of persuasive writing about why we deserve redskins, and if it is good he will give us redskins (he doesn't have redskins so he is going to give us mentos).  so basically he is bribing us to do our work which isn't something a teacher SHOULD do but we are getting lollies so we don't care. here is my writing about why i deserve redskins (mentos)

I think i deserve redskins, why wouldn't i. It's not like i talk ALL of the time during work.

Redskins are amazing and everyone wants them, but not everyone will get them. I want to be one of the people who does get one.. Or 2...or 3… or better yet, a whole packet.

Why do i deserve redskin(s)

Ok , so i'm not going to lie i do talk and muck around sometimes, but i still complete my work.

Mr Billings i know you don't want to admit it because you don't want to give your precious red skins away but i do usually end up completing my work. And if i don't i usually make up for it at home and do it then. The other reason i deserve redskins is because i am awesome. And how could you not give redskins to an awesome person?

Proof that i deserve redskin(s)

What is some proof? Well, i love writing so whenever we get giving a writing task like writing narratives and stories, i ALWAYS do it. No, i don't like maths but i do want to grow up to be at least a little bit smart. I concentrate as hard as possible during maths but my brain is very small so i get confused very easily. And when it comes to reading, i love reading but i always forget to bring my glasses so i just have to do my best. It might seem like i am coming up with excuses but i'm not. Ok so i am, now that you know, are they working?

Why do i want redskins(s)

Why do i want redskins, well there are four reasons i want redskins. 1. Just the thought of lollies makes me SUPER happy and excited which means i really want them. 2. They taste AMAZING. If a candy cane and a piece of strawberry chewing gum had a baby, this is what it would taste like. 3. My mum is making me go sugar free starting next month so until then i am going to eat my heart out with sugar. And last but not least No.4 . as you may know, i am a psychopath and i like to eat skin, like a vampire. So watch out... (i'm just kidding)

I think that redskins were made so that you could give them to me. And i know that when i can't do what i was made for doing, i get really sad (Hint Hint). Overall i think you should give them to me. Earlier on in this piece of writing i mentioned my work being good, well i think this master piece of writing is red skin material as well, don't you????

i love redskins so i tried my hardest to write an impressive peice of persuasive writing but i am not very good at persuading people so fingers crossed i get some redskins/mentos. thanks for reading, bye.

Room 11 Maths

Hello again, i am writing to tell you about the maths we started doing in room 11. so... at the beginning of this week Mr Billings broke the very tragic and disappointing news.... we are starting to learn Algebra. i (personally) hate maths, i have never rally been sure why i hate maths though. it is either because i use my brain too much, or im just too stupid to do it and i don't want to make a fool out of myself when i get an answer wrong. whenever my sister comes home from schhol she comes outn to the lounge to do her homework and she says to me "hollie, do you want to do my maths homework for me" and i say
"ok" thinking it will be easy stuff, but when i look at it i see all of these Xs and Ys and my mind just goes blank. i have dreaded doing algebra ever since my sister first came home with her first algebra assignment, and when Mr B told us, i honestly thought i was going to burst into a screaming fit. luckily though, we are only doing beginners algebra at the moment and so far, i am understanding it. its not that bad (yet). if you are younger then me, then  you should brace yourself for the year you have to start algebra, and if you are older than me... i am terribly sorry.
