12 Days of Christmas

Recently, Room 8 experimented with the Google spread sheets to create a graph. For starters, we used 'items' in the 12 days of Christmas and converted it into a graph. This graph shows the results of our experiment. 

The Big One

Positive +	Negative -	Interesting Facts
Helps you to learn what to do with possibly fragile, heavy items in the house. Gives you a list of needed items to bring when in a case of an earthquake Shows how others can help their neighbours’ house from taking damage	Shows possible damage that can be  done to the house and the economy/ environment	When pets are not able to come with you, they can can look after themselves (leave the slightly open) Tinned foods are better to use than wrapped/ contained food because the tinned foods are fresher and can be preserved for later use

Awesome forces is an interactive game where you can obtain useful information for preparation of the 3 fierce disasters being; a tsunami, volcanic eruption or an earthquake that may occur in any region. You are given a set of choices of places to choose to prepare on. Help others prepare, set up a safe area to take cover and choosing a zone to dodge and survive upcoming disasters.

No matter what form, what size, a triangle's angles will always add up to 180°

This morning in maths, we investigated the angles of triangles. Firstly, I drew an isosceles triangle and cut out the 3 corners and make connect them to create a straight line. I have learnt that the angles of triangles add up 180° because 180° is a straight line. We repeated this rule but used corners used from different shaped triangles. They too, had angles that added up to 180°
