The Importance of life, Poem

 The Importance of Life, Poem!

Life is short,

We shall all support,   

All lives matter,

Racism should shatter,

We all Struggle,

Like we’re in a bubble,

But from there,

We still share,

We care for the poor,

They really mean more,

Nature is wonderful,

Beautiful and colourful,

There's no need to hate,

It’s a really bad trait,

We shouldn't judge others,

We’re all sisters and brothers,

We are all different sizes, colours and cultures but we’re all the same, so hold your head up high and don't feel shame,

Live life to express,

Not to impress,

Forget the rest,

and be your best.

Here is a presentation that I made on the 6 spheres of the earth system. It explains facts like definitions and the importance of each sphere. This was a helpful activity which I learnt a lot from. I hope you learnt something too! :)

This is my 3D pyramid that I made during my zoom call with my class and Mr Tyrell. This activity included geometry, RE and maths. I really enjoyed making this.

All About Covid-19

All About Covid-19

What is Coronavirus?

The coronavirus pandemic is a disease that causes illness.
It all started in Wuhan, China on the 31st of December, 2019.
It started in China because Chinese people would eat bats
& they didn't know that the bats had the virus. They call it
coronavirus because it looks like lots of little crowns through a
microscope, but its real name is covid-19. The government has
cancelled all flights to New Zealand.

How Does Coronavirus Affect the Human Body?

The virus can affect people’s breathing and lungs. How it works
is the virus gets inside our cells and takes over them. Firstly, it
affects your throat cells, airway and lungs turning them into
coronavirus factories. It then discharges huge amounts of new
viruses that affect even more body cells.

How does coronavirus spread?

It spreads from person to person by coughing & sneezing, also
if you touched someone who has the virus. It can also spread
when a person touches an object that has the virus on it, then
touches their eyes, nose or mouth.

What are the symptoms of having the coronavirus?

People may be sick for one too 14 days before developing
symptoms. Most common symptoms of this virus include;
coughing, difficult issues with breathing or fever. Older people
with medical conditions may be more exposed to becoming
severely.

How to protect yourself

The best way you can protect yourself is by washing your hands
frequently. It is important to avoid touching your face and close
contacts (2 metres) with people who are ill. It is recommended
to wear a face mask and avoid large events or mass gatherings.
You should also cover your mouth and nose with your elbow
and a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Statistics

As of right now, March 25 2020, 
there have been 422,913
positive cases worldwide. 109,143
people have recovered
from this virus, however, there have
sadly been 18,905 deaths.

W1 - day 2 - activity 3 ( A time when I was brave )

THE BRAVEST THING I DID

I have a lot of moments when I was brave but here is one of them. My cousin and I were waiting in line for our ice cream untill we saw this old man holding a suitcase looking around with a confused look on him. It almost looked like he was lost, so I told my cousin to go ask if he was alright. However, she didn't want to go. I was wondering if i should go instead but, my head kept saying "i'm too shy, i'm too shy." suddenly it came to a point where I was brave. I walked over to him and he asked me for directions. I gave him directions and he was very happy. It ended with him saying "thank you very much, God bless." I will never forget this moment where I showed my bravery.

W1 - Day2 - Activity 2 ( My poem on the moon )

At first glance, my heart starts to dance

I'm up so high

Right next to the stars

It almost feels like i'm a butterfly

But just without the grass

I can't believe i'm on the moon

It's like a dream come true

Goodbye dusty moon, i'll see you soon

My Flower pot

This is my flower pot. This term room 1 is doing gardening. First, we had to paint our pot white. Then we had to draw a design in our books to give us an idea of what we would like to draw on our pot. After we got an idea for our pot we drew an image on our flower pot with a pencil. After drawing our design on our flower pot, we then painted our flower pot in the colours that we needed to use. Then we vanished our pot to make the paint last longer and to make it nice and shiny. Lastly and finally we planted two impatiens in the pot and we have watered them daily.
