My overall reflection

I had a lot of fun this year and I set a few self made goals like take risks and stay on task.

I have completed these goals this year because when someone talks to me about something off topic I ask them to stop or I just move. Also at camp I would try to do everything but I hurt my leg at some point so I couldn't do some activities but I still tried.

My next step is to make friends with the year 6's and comtinue to do my self made goals next year.

A Day In The Life Of A Bully

As I was scootering to school, I saw that nerd again, what was his name, Joe I think, oh well, I just call him big brain. As I was scootering past him, I shoved him off his scooter, and I was gone. I felt the adrenalin rushing through my body


Later on half way through the day, I got pulled out of class. Thats when I knew, big brain told the teacher. As I was being pulled out all my friends laughed at me, mocking me. That made me feel like they didn't like me, I got taken to the thinking room, and had write a letter of apology,that was boring, its not like it means anything, not to me anyway.


Now I have to wait 50 boring minutes, but it was still worth it. I was waiting for the right moment, to run.


I launched out of my seat, and ran for the door, luckily the teacher was on a coffee break. I felt the adrenalin again, rushing through my body. Then I made it! When I got outside, I saw big brain and ran at him, to get revenge. I punched him in the head, and kicked him in the gut, then the bell rang.


At the end of the day, I had to stay in and it turned out, the teacher call my parents. I knew I could never leave the house again, at least not till I move out. Sweat was running down my face, my Mum was giving me a look, and I couldn't hold it in anymore, I was crying. That was it, everyone was looking at me, my reputation was ruined. I am now a loser, Then the teacher said your suspended.

WALT: Write a amazing recount.

My next step is to turn this into a film with my group.

I think this is a level 4 recount

Reading

I have been doing a novel study on this book


We have to do activities based on the book

Integrated Learning

This is our action plan

Rubbish

Rubbish

It flys through the trees
Getting stuck on the way
Going on its journey
To where it now lay

Floating in the ocean
In huge piles
Waiting to be taken
By the animals
That go on for miles

Death makes a deal
To the animals around
They get the food and shelter
Then they lie dead on the ground

That's what happens when you litter
It's bad and kills
It's like dumping 200 tonnes in the big blue so why do you
If you don't know what to do
Don't litter
That's what I have done
If I can you can too

My Goals

My academic goal is to beat my high score in the basic facts speed test.

My social goal is to work with people I don't normally work with.

My behavioural goal is to volunteer and help out with things.

 

My Art

Walt: Make And Draw The Coolest Animal


My next step is to draw even more awesome animals

My Explanation

The Soil

If one part of the soil's food chain was missing this ecosystem will fall apart...
The ecosystem is a never ending loop. The way it works is the producers feed the herbivores that feed the carnivores that help feed the decomposes that fertilizes the producers.


If the soil's producers such as plants and tree roots were missing the herbivores will die and that would break the loop in the food chain  and eventually everything else will die.
The producers job is to feed the herbivores so they can do their job.


If the herbivores such as worms went missing the carnivores will be forced to hunt each other until there is none left
The herbivores job is to stop the producers from over growing. Also they are a food souse for the carnivores.


Carnivores such as some types of ants job is to eat the herbivores and some other carnivores to stop them from over populating then the scavengers get whats left.
If the carnivores went missing there would be to many animals and nothing for the scavengers and decomposes.


After the carnivores and scavengers have had their part of the food the decompose such as germs and bacteria break down the rest and use it to fertilize the producers to help them grow. If the decomposes were missing plants will die and the soil will be full with dead animals and after a few years everything will die.


Overall the soil is held together by a never ending loop also known as a food chain. If one part was missing from the food chain everything would fall apart. So next time you run though a garden think what you might really be killing.

Info Report

My Ultimate Animal

Walt: Write A Good Information Report

My Ultimate Animal

The Optifene is the worlds most ultimate animal. In its habitat, also known as, the world, it lives with its mate and when hungry, eats them. It has many features that help it live its life.

The Optipene has strong sharp fangs that can bite through anything. Their skin is just as strong as their fangs.
They have night vision sockets in their eyes so they can see in the dark. They have wings that can move faster then the speed of light and their legs move at the same speed. The Optipene also has long sharp claws that it uses to attach to their prey. They have gills and a tail so they can swim under water. They also have camouflage skin so it is nearly invisible.

The Optipene's camouflage skin helps this animal when traveling the world because it can sneakily hunt down their prey. They hunt for different DNA of animals and steal it using its sharp fangs and with it they wait four years then absorb the DNA and grow the main features of the animal they got the DNA from. They sleep in animals or peoples skin.


When they are inside peoples or animals skin they start eating the flesh and then starts moving towards the brain. They also eat grass and drink straight from the clouds. The Optifene sometimes grabs onto and digs into birds skin then when the bird lands it eats the birds brain.


After its finished eating the birds brain they do a mating call then kills anything that comes in range and is not another Optipene. Then it will give the dead to its mate when and if they come.


Overall, the Optipene is the ultimate animal because the features it has allows it to have no predators, so its at the top of the food chain, and it hunts in its world wide habitat with its mate using its amazing power to rule the food chain.
