Inquiry: Winter Olympics Venn Diagram

This week for inquiry, we needed to make a Venn Diagram. The Venn Diagram needed to compare the first ever Winter Olympics in 1924, to the modern Winter Olympics. A Venn Diagram is 2 circles put together, with an oval in the middle. On the left and right side, there would be differences between two different things, and in the middle, there would be the similarities of the two.

Silver C.A.R.E Award: Respect | Demonstrating Respect With Pictures

Today, I did my final Silver Respect C.A.R.E Award challenge. For this challenge, we needed to take photos of us being respectful. We then needed to put the pictures onto a google drawing, or presentation, and add a description of both, what we're doing in the picture, and how you can do the same. The amount of pictures that I took was 5, and I took them with a Canon Ixus 185 Powershot Camera.

Silver C.A.R.E Awards: Respect | Picture Collage Of PBS

Today, I did a C.A.R.E Award activity for respect. For this activity, we needed to make a collage of PBS. A collage is a series of pictures of the same category, put together. Although, now that the week has just finished, I decided to instead draw pictures of my experience when going to school. You can see in the first picture that I'm walking to school with my bag on, the next picture is of me working on my computer, and the final picture is of me playing handball at lunch and morning tea. I really liked this activity. I got to show my art, my perspective of an average day, and made an actual collage for the first time so far. This activity took roughly half an hour to complete, and I think I did relatively well in the end.

Silver C.A.R.E Awards: Respect | Making Dinner For Your Family

Wednesday night, I did a respect C.A.R.E activity. For this activity, we needed to make, and serve dinner to our family. So what I made, was a bacon and egg pie. To make this dish, you need bacon, egg, 4 squares of pastry, milk, tomato, mixed herbs, olives, capsicums, and salt and pepper. First, spray cooking spray onto tray, and apply pastry to the bottom off a tray. Next, place extra pastry half way up the sides of the tray. Thirdly chop up all ingredients, and sprinkle on pastry. After this, crack 6 eggs, and spread it's contents around the pastry. Next, place salt and pepper over ingredients, and add a top layer of pastry. Squash top layer of pastry with bottom, to join it all together. If there is any leftover pastry, you can cut it into small pieces, and decorate the top of your dish. After that, brush some milk over the top of your pastry, and put it in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes at 190 - 200 degrees. Make sure to check it every once and a while, and once done, serve it, and eat up. Also, try adding a side of carrot and cucumber. Now you're all done.

Silver C.A.R.E Awards: Respect | A Thank You Letter

Yesterday, I wrote a thank you letter to Mrs Anderson. I had done this because she really did help me a lot, and I wanted to thank her. Although a small bit of it was because it was a Care Award activity, I still did it to thank her. How she had helped me, was by explaining where to put my Care activities once I had finished, and how to inform her that I'd completed a challenge.

Silver C.A.R.E Award: Respect | Making A Brochure About PBS

Yesterday, I finished a C.A.R.E award activity. The activity that I did was to make a brochure about working at PBS, and this activity was for my Respect badge. For this brochure, I had 3 segments. 1 having the question, what's the perks of PBS, with my answer. The second having the question, how well does everyone get along, with my answer. Ending with the question how the students treated. I really liked this activity, it gets children showing their opinion of school, and really sparks their creativity.

Writing: Remembering Our Summer Holiday In 7 Sentences

Today for writing, we needed to reflect a moment in our summer holidays. We were then given a template, with different human senses, and had to morph the senses into sentences about the event we chose to reflect. Once completed, we needed to show our work to a teacher, and illustrate the situation. The moment that I chose to reflect was when I went to a music store to get an amp with my guitar. I really liked this writing activity, and it really did get my imagination going wild once we had started illustrating.

I heard the ring as I walked through the door “RING”

I heard the instruments strumming, followed by a charming sound of an angel singing.

I saw many different shaped objects surrounding the room, like bees defending their hive.

I felt the vibrations from the differently pitched tones.

I felt each string get thinner and thinner the further I ran my fingers down the instrument, like a blunt knife getting
sharper and sharper.

I wondered if one day I could perform with my new hobby, and make a living out of it in the future.

Although I wondered how long this hobby would continue, I just continued to experiment with what I had.
