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°

Reading, Is it Important?

Reading, is it important? It is easy to say that it is really important because of its many uses of related with learning.

  Reading is important in many ways that are included in our education. It is a helpful way  that we can understand what we write or read. No reading can result in learning no unique and may cause you to use already known words many times. Reading can help you learn new things and words everyday!

  First of all, learning may not be able to be done when someone cannot understand the meaning. It gives us the ability to communicate with others and know what they’re actually talking about. It can expand and enhance your memory and can give you facts and information that has been anonymous or something you haven’t learned yet.

  Second of thought, reading is something we need. You use reading when you read signs, advertisements around you, etc. Reading also expands vocabulary and can be used to understand books that require high reading ages.

  If you don’t read, many people will or can bypass you and become the better of you. You won’t be able to catch up with them if you don’t read and learn more than them. The meaning of reading is to understand what you’re reading, there is no purpose of reading if you don’t know what the subject of a story of a book may be. It is also needed to aquire maybe something you’ve always dreamed of or a job you’ve always wanted to be accepted by.

 So for those that don’t like reading or those who do it rarely, you may be missing out your advantages in becoming someone successful.

  

Being Cybersmart on the internet

In Room 8, we did a quiz to test our cybersmart skills. Sam (the girl included in the picture) gave us 11 questions to answer. This screenshot includes a picture of Sam showing my score.

Antarctica and the Arctic! Know the difference!

In Room 8, we did a quiz about the difference between the Arctic (North Pole) & the Antarctica (South Pole). We dragged icebergs  - worded with facts  - into the right pole and had to get 10 out of 10. This is a screenshot of my score.

Garden Models

For our Garden Inquiry, Room 8 planned about how the garden would look like by making an accurate replica of the expected garden structures. Our group was entrusted to make models created from blu tack and wooden building blocks from drawings made by the Designer's group.

Advertisement Critique - Best Advertisement

Best Advertisement ever

  The act of giving and generosity has been repeated and lead to changes happening. It changed the old woman, the lady with her trolley, the dog, the woman and her daughter, the lady on the bus, the dying plant and a change in the man himself. It shows the amount of help one person can have.

  A woman has disbelief when the man first shares his bundle of bananas and responded with love from his act of kindness. The dog received generosity and showed him loyalty. The child received money and gave him a bow of thanks. The woman with her trolley received aid and treated him like a family.

  When the last 10 seconds shows all of the change made by the man, it shows life and happiness . The advertisement is trying to encourage viewers to help people out, even though it doesn’t give you fame or popularity, but a feel of emotions.
