Public speaking reflection!

Hi! Today I’m going to show you my public speaking refection on why kids should have more resess!

What I found challenging and what I didn’t enjoy!

What I found challenging about public speaking was not saying it but I was nervous when I said my speech. I was nervous because I was stressed on how good I would do saying my speech. what I didn’t enjoy doing was the research of my speech. What was hard to search up was dose reses help kids focus when the come back to class. To me this was hard because there was so much information on one website . because of this it was hard to find the best fakes that I understood and that would make sense to the rest of my class .

 

What I found easy and what I did enjoy!

 

What I found easy was practicing my speech. This might be confusing because I said the most challenging thing I did was saying the speech. The thing is it was hard saying it in front of my class, but when I was practicing my speech it was easy because it was just me and one other person. What I enjoyed was choosing what my speech was about. To me this was fun because I got to choose any topic I wanted. But most importantly was I could do my topic about something I care about.

 

What I would do differently next time!

 

Next time I will work more on writing my speech and making it as good as it can be. I felt I practiced the delivery part just right and would do that again next time.

Cookie blog!

Hi in class we started rocs and minerals and to practice excavating minerals we exuviated chocolate chips from a cookie!

 

What is a geologist? A  geologist is some one who mins minerals and rocks and they also fined dinosaur bones. A geologist tries not to damage the earth when they take out a mineral but when I did that with my cookie it was completely destroyed.

 

Here is a video on Geologist

Innovation day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Today I am going to share about my innovation day project. It is a medieval castle with a working drawbridge!

Information about the first kind of castle!

The first kind of castle was made of wood. It had a wooden wall all around the castle. In the castle is a keep which is on a hill. Under the hill is a ditch. that ditch and hill is called a motte. The motte and keep is overloking a bailey.This kind of castle is called a motte and bailey castle.

  Information about drawbridges!

drawbridges are made for defence! In the middle ages castles had a moat around the castle to cross the moat people used drawbridges. Drawbridges could be raised and lowered. When enemies came to the castle the pepole inside the castle riased the drawbridge so the enemy cant get in! To make the drawbridge move inside the castle is a big pully and gear system.

 

Serfs and Lords !

Serfs and Lords are different things: a serf is a servant for the lord . Lords are very rich people who own a lot of land.Often serfs spend most of there life on a farm and make food for the lord.Serfs live in mud houses. the house had one room!When the crops failed the lord blamed it on the serfs. After the crops failed the lord would take the limited amounT OF FOOD FOR HImSelf.

Knights!

It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, young men in the Middle Ages learned how to use a weapon.Foot soldiers learned to fight with an axe and a long spear called a pike. The best soldiers were knights.Knights were soldiers who fought on horseback.If you want to be a knight you need to pay for horses and armor. You also need to find someone to train you.Knights also make some money by looting and holding certain people for ransom.When you are being trained you start as a page then a squire then a knight.

 

Medieval English Knights: 10 Things You Should Know

Here is a link to my blog on pulleys!

hypothesis!

This is my hypothesis clic the video to watch!

Procedure!

This is a pitcher of me making my castle!

This is how i made my castle!

Results!

This is a tore of my finished castle!

Conclusion!

 

IN conclusion i did not make my pulley system how i planned.I had planned to put my pulley system on the tower.I planed by making a pulley on two wood pieces to hold the pulley and more wood to hold up the geer.the string would be   attached to a holl in the middle of the geer and then I would wrap it around the geer then when I turned the geer the bridge would rise.
Instead of my pulley system on the towers I put the system in my castle.If you want to see the system look at my results video!
My castle design was the same as my hypothesis.

Self Reflection!

 

Looking back at my castle the one thing I would change is making rooms in my castle.

 

I don’t want to be a pirate!

Hi! Today I am going to show you my response to the question which is: Do you want to be a pirate?

I believe that living life as a pirate is bad! When you live like a pirate you break the law and steal from other people. I wouldn’t enjoy being rich by stealing. Pirates have an attitude of being selfish and mean. Pirates go from place to place stealing and they don’t care how it impacts the person they stole from. I wonder if it would be hard to make friends as a pirate if people didn’t trust you.

Being a pirate means that you will be on the water most of your life and in my opinion that is boring. There is so much more to do on land. If I were a pirate I would not want to be on a  boat during crazy storms .I know some people get motion sick easily and would be uncomfortable to be on a rocking boat. Spending all my time on a boat  is not my thing.

I don’t want to be a pirate! I don’t want to hurt other people and treat them badly.  As much as I love the water I don’t want to live on a boat. This is why I never want to be a pirate!

 

persuasive text

Hi everyone I am going to share my persuasive text with you let’s get started!

How would you feel if the world was always noisy from barks and meows? You would not be able to move because everywhere you go another person would be walking their dog? I am 100%  sure that not all families should own a pet. My main reasons are they won’t be special, they can get hurt and it will be too crowded.

If everyone owned a pet then owning a pet wouldn’t be that special. For example, in my class, I am the only person who has a striped cat and one with extra toes. My cat is unique and that makes me feel good. If everyone owned a pet,  there would be too many animals of the same type.If there are too many animals of the same type then everyone’s pet will be identical so your pet won’t be special. It is clear that not everyone should own a pet because it will be too common and not unique.

Secondly, I strongly believe that not everyone should own a pet because your pet can get hurt. For instance, in my neighbourhood, there is a cat called Charlie who deliberately goes out and hurts other animals. We keep our cats inside at night because of this.  Another example of why not everyone should own a pet is that your pet can get mistaken for another animal. For example, I was once told about a cat who came back at a different time than usual and it was the wrong cat! Another way your pets can get hurt is by there not being enough food.  If everyone owned a pet, the pet food companies would run out of food and people would be running out of supplies to make more pet food then the food chain would be destroyed. If there is not enough food, the animals will starve. Wouldn’t it be so sad if your cat got hurt by a dog? 

Thirdly, I am certain not everyone should own a pet because it will be too crowded. For example, it will be too hard to run and move if there are animals everywhere. Another reason there will be too much noise is by dogs barking and cats meowing. You probably didn’t know that 30% of local noise is made by dogs howling day and night. I don’t think I could imagine all that noise all the time. My last reason is that there is not enough space in the world for everyone to own a pet. That is why I think not everyone should own a pet!

In conclusion, I am certain not everyone should own a pet. This is because your pet can get hurt, your pet won’t be special and the world will be too crowded. Instead of everyone getting a pet you can get a beautiful plant! GO BUY THAT PLANT NOWE YOU WON’T REGRET IT! 

 

 

 

   

 

creative story

Hi, I am showing you the beginning of the first page of my story!

Chapter 1  The angry teacher 

Bring bring.

“We need to get to the last class of the day,” said Jessica. “I am excited for the last class because then we get to go home for the weekend,” said Ruby.

“I am so tired” said Ella.”The day is almost done then you can go home for the weekend and sleep”said Ruby.

“We need to get to class now,” said Jessica.“ You are right,” said Ella.

“Grade 7 is so hard,” said Ruby as they ran to class.

“I am too tired to move on”said Ella “I am getting a bit tired too”said Ruby.

“I am just a bit tired,” said Jessica.

“This is the worst class ever,” Ella said. 

“I know I wish we could skip class,” said Jessica.

Ruby said “we should just fall asleep and wake up when the bell rings”

“I am up for that”said Ella.

“Same” said Jessica.

5 minutes later…

“What are you all doing asleep in my math class?”yelled the math Teacher . But the three friends didn’t wake up. 

 

All about volcanoes

This is my volcano project I hope you enjoy!

 

Volcanoes are made of gas underground. The lava from the top of the volcano slowly comes down to the bottom of the volcano and goes into the water. When the lava is in the water it turns to stone.

 

Lava can be the color of  black, red, gray, brown and tan, metallic silver, pink, or green.

 

 Volcanoes can be dormant, extinct or inactive!

 

  • Dormant means the volcano  is asleep but it will or can erupt in the future! 
  • Extinct means when volcanoes have erupted in the past they will most likely not  erupt again in the future!
  •  Inactive means it has never erupted but it can in the future!

 

The eruption of a volcano  can be dangerous or not because the volcano can shoot lava up into the air or the lava can slowly come down from the top of the volcano.

 

A Volcano will eventually run out  of  magma. It will take two to 100 years for a new batch of magma to be made. 

 

I hope you enjoyed my project about volcanoes!
