Ebola VS Black Plague

Last week, we started reading an article about the Black plague. The black plague was an contagious disease which took place in the 13th century around 1348- 1350, this disease killed one third of Europe's population. So this week, we had to create a Venn diagram about the Ebola virus and Black death. During this task, we had to write a bit about the Black plague and Ebola virus. After that we had to find similarities between the two diseases. As I was competing the task, I found out that the Ebola virus has a lot of things in common with the black plague. Check it out !

Black Plague Solutions

Last week, we were reading about the black plague, and this week we have to create solutions for this disease. Our task was to create a way in which they could have lessened the amount of people catching the disease when it was going around. Meaning we had to find ways to separate the infected people who are healthy. In the presentation above, I have created solutions to prevent the disease. My first solution was to separate people who are infected and who aren't. This would help decrease the amount of people getting sick. I have created 4 solutions check it out !

The Black Death

This week in Miss Clark's Literacy Class, two of her groups have been reading about the Black Death. The Black death is known as many names such as : Bubonic Plague, Disastrous mortal Disease, Yersinia Pestis, The Great Mortality and the Great Plague. During this task, our WALT was to compare and contrast, meaning we were to look at different people's views and then compare. This Disease happened in the 14th century and killed 50 million people. We also learnt that the disease originated in China, and it was caused by Black Rats, commonly known as the House Rat or the Ship Rat. After doing the follow up questions we had to create a flow diagram. My flow diagram is on the last slide check it out !

Geometry

 This week in Miss Berry's Maths class, we're focusing on Geometry. Our WALT for this week is : understanding shapes. Which meant to learn and understand the shapes. In the following presentation we had to watch a video from Khan Academy and complete the following questions. We had to answer question such as : Which shape is a trapezoid. And then we had to pick one of the three shapes, then explain why the shape you have chosen a trapezoid. After answering the follow up questions we had to do the extension work. The extension work was to find out the perimeter and area in a shape. I was pretty familiar with this part of geometry, because on maths whizz there was a lesson on this subject. Check it out !

Donald Trump US Election

This week in Miss Clark’s Literacy class, the Louis Sachar's have been reading an article about Donald Trump and US Election. During this article our WALT was to Compare and contrast the differences between peoples views. Meaning we were learning to look at different people’s views, then compare and contrast. While we were reading this article, we learned about two different election parties. In New Zealand there’s Labor, National, Green and in America there’s different groups such as, Democrats and Republicans. Democrats believe in different tax for different types of families. For an example : Democrats believe that if a family has low income they should have to pay a different tax. But the Republicans believe in there shouldn’t be different taxes for different families, and that low and middle income families should pay the same amount of taxes as everyone else.

Cyber Bullied

Cyber Bullied

Cyberbullying is the most cases why children commit suicide. Cyber bullying must be stopped, and if you ever get cyber bullied then tell an adult or someone you trust.  This problem occurred to a kid at a school a few years ago :

Jonathan is a solitary kid who’s best friend is a dog. He aces all  of his classes in comparison to any other average kid, he fails at any physical activities. After school everyday he arrives home to his parents yelling at each other, like their lions attacking each other.

The next day as he was entering his house, it was especially quiet. He headed towards the kitchen to get himself a snack, when he was stopped in his tracks by his mum and was told to sit down in the living room. As he did what he was told, his mind was wondering “what’s happening ?”.

As he slumped himself on one of the couches, his parents sat opposite to him and talk him the news. As his mum began “ We have something to tell you, we are getting a divorce”. Jonathan wasn’t shock at all, he just gave a little nod. Jonathon already knew his parents were getting a divorce. The night before, he overheard his parents talking about it.

That night Jonathan logged on to his mail, saw a ton of messages. Those messages weren’t ordinary, they were negative messages. As he went and clicked on one, he readed what it said “ you’re a weirdo, people don’t talk to u because they think you’re weird!”. Jonathan quickly clicked out of it and trashed the rest of the negative messages.

The next couple of weeks Jonathon was staying at his Mum’s house with his pal Buddy. When he stayed at his Mum’s, he always checked his mail for any messages. But the only type of message he got were nasty ones. He felt miserable, he didn’t eat much or play with Buddy.

One night as Jonathan came from school, he logged on to his mail as usual. While he was waiting, he decided to get himself a snack and headed towards the kitchen. As he was going downstairs, Jonathan's mum entered his room to put away some laundry.

As she was set Jonathan’s laundry on his bed, her eyes landed on Jonathan’s laptop which was open. She put down the laundry basket and quickly picked up the laptop. When she did, her eyes widen with shock from seeing how many nasty massages her son got. She decided to open one, so she clicked on the first one. Jonathan’s mum was worried about her son receiving these mean messages.

That night when Jonathan came upstairs, his mum was waiting for him. Jonathan came upstairs and headed down the hallway to his room, the first one on the right. He opened his room and saw his mum in there, and said “Mum, what are you doing in here?”. And his mum replied “I was putting away some laundry, when I saw your email open”. Jonathan’s mum talked to Jonathan about him getting cyber bullied.

The next day, Jonathan and his Mum arrived at his school. They headed towards the office and asked if they could talk to the Principal. The reception let them straight through to a small perfectly tidy office. As they entered, a tall dark figure was staring out into the bright sky.  

They all sat down and Jonathan’s Mum started to inform the principal, about what was going on. The principal understood at once, and knew who the bully was. The principal told Jonathan and his mum to wait for him in his office. After a while he arrives back with a tall bulky looking kid. His face had a big black long eyebrow with big bulging eyes, and a fat nose.

He introduces the boy to Jonathan’s Mum, as she sees him says” So you’re the one who’s bullying my son online?”. And the Bulky tall looking kid gives a slight nod, the principal says “ This is Morris, Mrs Henderson”. Then Principal Batterson asks the bulky looking boy “ Why have you been bullying Jonathan?” and Morris says “ Yeah, because he’s a lonely little nerd”. Principal Batterson says “ Stop it, because this school is an anti bullying school so you’re doing cafeteria duty after school for 6 weeks”.

Principal Batterson tells Morris that he’ll be ringing up his parents. After sending Morris back to class, Principal Batterson thanks Miss Henderson for telling him about the problem. So from this experience, Jonathan made friends who’s names are : Tim Parker and Jacob Armstrong. Jonathan learned to tell someone if there’s a problem and he never got bullied from that day on.
