The Battle Of Equality | Emil

Here's the first paragraph of my new story.

The Battle Of Equality

In the beginning there was nothing, not a speck of dust not a
breath of air, nothing. There was nothing until the big bang
happened. The living Tribunal was then created along with the
big bang as the protector of the universe to keep everything
equal and fair. Many years later the Beyonders were created in
a different universe and one of the Beyonders named Beyonder
(which is rather strange) came to our universe to learn more
and evolve. Approximately a couple million years later Beyonder
is still here learning (because the universe is vast) which brings
us to the present day.

Top Team | Emil

Top Team

Top Team are these people that come to our school and set up all these activities that we go around in groups that we are put into and do. On the 20th of November 2018 Top Team came to our school. I got put into group three, myself and someone else in my team were the captains. The activities usually involved a lot of teamwork and most of them were quite fun. My favourite activity by far was probably the house of cards which was where you got lots of these wooden slabs and had to build the tallest tower (we barely won.) I think the activity we did best was the sack race because we were in front by a lot.

Dear Rhys

On Saturday I found a treasure chest on Serpentine beach!! I found out that the contents was worth 56.3 Million dollars!!! I’ve always wanted to go to Chile but I’ve never had the money, but now that I do I was wondering if you would want to come with me to Chile. You don’t have to pay for anything either, I’ll pay off all the bills!

I planned that we could go for a bunch of weeks from the second of Jan to the 24th of Feb 2019. I thought we could just get a plane from Christchurch to Arica which is at the very top of Chile and work our way down the country.

I was thinking we could live in Valparaiso for a while as well and check out the history there because, I’ve heard that it’s a famous art place and it’s a tourist attraction. There’s also an amazing 6500 km long coastline that we’ll probably end out checking out a few times.

Try get back to me as soon as you can and let me know if you can come because then I can plan everything and send you back the times we’ll be leaving and where we meet!

PrEP Reflection 2018

Prep 2018

Prep is an event that happens in school where every class either splits up into groups or creates something as a whole class to be sold at first mini market then big market.

So far Prep has been a blast! Our group is called the Crazy Crafters, we've been making mini picnic tables which you can put in your garden and what we call Crazy Racers which are mini model toy cars. In my group I'm the treasurer which means at the end of the day I have to fill out the business cash book which determines how much we've made and how much we've spent. On Thursday the 20th of September it was the mini market but sadly I wasn't there for the first half. We didn't do to well though because we only made 25 Kiwi which is the currency that we use in Prep. This is only the first week and it's been amazing!

5 Words I Don't Know

We had to do this activity to create a word wall so students can come and look at the words and start to use them in their writing

Ivan | New Enclosure

Ivan's New Enclosure

For our book The One And Only Ivan we are creating a new and improved enclosure for Ivan. We had to make better things for Ivan. We made a pool so he can have a bath and a swim, a flat screen TV, vegetation such as vines and trees to make it look more like the jungle and a tire swing so he can have fun.

Making Plastic | Emil

Making Plastic

On Monday the 2nd of July 2018 we made plastic. We started by putting in a cup of milk and then we had to warm it for a minute on high in the microwave. We then had to add 4 tsp's of vinegar and mix the milk and vinegar together until it formed clumps of curds. After that we put the curds into a strainer until the liquid was gone and then we squeezed the curds with our bare hands to get even more liquid out. Now we have to wait 2 days until it turns into plastic.

 

Diary Entry | Emil

Dear Diary

Today I painted 11 pictures of the black banana that’s sitting in the corner of my Domain, I also told Ruby a story about my childhood. The thing is that I promised Stella that I would get Ruby to a safer place but I feel guilty about that because I’m not sure how. Tomorrow i’m going to paint a picture of the brown beetle that has been sitting in the corner of my domain now for more than 3 days.

Ivan Description | Emil

The One And Only Ivan

Ivan the silverback gorilla was captured as a baby and lived with a pet shop owner when he was 1 year old for 4 years. When he became to big for the pet shop owners house he moved into The Big Top Mall, Video and Arcade where he has now lived for 24 years.

Ivan the silverback gorilla weighs an incredible 400 pounds and when he stands up on his two back legs he’s roughly two metres tall! He’s well built has black fur and rock hard fists. He has a silver moon coloured back.

Ivan loves painting pictures of creatures and objects that live in his domain. He likes watching funny cartoons on his TV and especially people slipping over banana peels in the cartoon, Ivan also likes Stella telling stories. Stella has a throbbing foot that looks as red as lava and is ready to burst.

Ivan lives in the Big Top Mall, Video and Arcade in his domain at one end of the ring of benches. He has a tyre swing and a small pond in his domain and he lives next to Stella.

Ivan | Poster

For one of our reading activities we had to create a poster for The One And Only Ivan which is the book we are reading. 

Here is the poster I made

Here's a book review on Inkheart

Don't Subtract, Add!

Don’t Subtract Add!

The don’t subtract add technique is used for large subtraction
questions. It is when you turn the number around and
count up to the bigger number e.g.

479 - 357 = ?

You flip the number around so the bigger
number is at the end and then you count from
the smaller number up to the bigger number e.g.

357 + Mystery Number = 479

And the mystery number is the answer

An easy way to count up to the bigger number is by first
counting up to the first clean number e.g.

357 + 3 = 360

Then up to the next and so on

360 + 40 = 400

400 + 70 = 470

470 + 9 = 479

And in the end you add up all the numbers in the middle

3 + 40 = 43

43 + 70 = 113

113 + 9 = 122

And so the answer is 122

I hope you all learned something from this DLO.

Science Fair

Science Fair Project

This week we had a Science Fair where we had to create a seed dispersal poster to explain whether certain plants are dispersed by exploding, moved by water, by wind, catching a ride or eaten by an animal.

Our actual science experiment was what liquid worked better to grow a plant between oil, water or milk (the water ended up working best.)
