Social Science - Haiti Earthquake

For social science we are doing a study in groups of different natural disasters our group chose the Haiti earthquake. Our group originally consisted of Kim, Alazae, and I but we now it consists of Kim, Alazae, Anzac, and I.

For the first lesson we decided what natural disaster we were going to do and then began to research about it.
In the second and third period we continued to research about the earthquake and found clips and pictures from the Haiti earthquake

For the past few lessons we have been researching the social, environmental, economical, effects of the Haiti earthquake. We also researched how earthquakes are made. We wrote paragraphs on each of these.

English Assessment - Persuasive Writing Letter

4 September 2017

Dear Potential Sponsor,

I am writing this letter to you to address why you should become a sponsor for me in the Hunger Games this year.

First of all I will address the fact that I am from District 2 therefore the probability of me winning is considerably high already as we win 4/5  games. We are put into a training academy until we are 18, this meaning that I have multiple skills that tributes from other districts will not have nor gain from a mere week of training beforehand. As for one example, I have been trained to fight in water, I think this skill is beneficial for me as I am sure that most tributes will have never attempted this valuable skill before.

Secondly I am unquestionably smart, with my own particular trait of strategic thinking, my tutors will personally tell you this. An abundance of things I have learnt over the years apply to the Hunger Games easily as I have a wide array of knowledge, including survival skills and strategic tactics. I am a strategic thinker naturally and therefore I have enhanced this talent so much that it is proving a threat for other tributes. Of course I am not forgetting my survival skills that have accumulated over the years, some of the survival skills I have learnt are things such as which berries are poisonous, where to find water, and when and how to start a fire. Having these skills paired with my strategic thinking will lead to a game filled with the undeniably tragic deaths of other tributes, and me the lone victor, winning the games for the deserving souls of District 2. And I’m sure that will feel great.

Now my fate is up to you. Will you join the games?

Thank you for your giving me part of your valuable time.

Kind regards,

P.e

Today I learnt how to do a cartwheel. We started by putting our hands flat on a box and walking over it. This progressed into jumping over it and putting our legs up. I think I could do a full cartwheel next time if I practiced a bit more.

Science - Acids, Bases, and Indicators

Acids, Bases and Indicators

Aim: To investigate how indicators change colour in acids and bases.

Method:

1. Set up your spotting tile with two drops of acids in the first row of four, two drops of water in teh middle row of four and then 2 drops of base in the last row of four.

2. In the first row of three put a small piece of red litmus paper (tear your strip into three for this), in the second row put a small piece of blue litmus paper, in the third row a small piece of universal litmus paper and in the fourth a drop of universal indicator.

3 Take a photo of your spotting tile and insert it here:

Conclusion: Different acids and bases don't change the paper into the same colour a lot of the time.
