It's all because of us Humans!

Hey there bloggers, today I am going to be telling you a story that I made based on something that we are doing for inquiry. The Subject is rubbish and it's about the rubbish that we are making and causing that is going into the sea. Mine is about a dolphin that has lost its family because when the ship dumped the rubbish she got tangled and got lost and couldn't find her family. I wrote this story because we had to do for long write but usually when we do long write, they give us a photo to do our story on it but this time it had to be about rubbish and waste except we got to pick the photo. This is my story and I hope that you enjoy it!

“You can’t get me, na na ne na na!” I said as I swam around gliding in the water. Oops, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zoey the Dolphin, but I’m only still a small dolphin as I am only 2-year-old dolphin though. And this isn’t a story about me having fun and swimming around, because this is a story of how everything changed, how everything was dark, how everything was rubbish.  And it all started like that, me having fun with my siblings. But that changed. Because then a Massive ship was getting close to us and I didn’t move because the ship looked cool. “Honey, quick come on! Swim away from that ship, hurry!” Shouted my parents. “Its, it's so big... “ I said as I stared at it like I couldn't take my eyes off it. But then the sky went dark above me, as a big blanket of rubbish came from above…

Who made this rubbish? Humans. Yes, Humans. Humans were the reason why I lost my family, the reason why I am lost, the reason why my heart is broken. I tried to swim out of the rubbish but I couldn’t, there was too much rubbish. I Cried for help but still, nobody could hear me. I closed my eyes hoping this nightmare would change. But it didn’t, it was real.

I opened my eyes and felt my head as heavy as rocks. I couldn’t remember anything and when I did, I looked above. But All I could see was colorful pieces of rubbish. It was dark down there. It blocked the rays of the sun. It blocked the light coming through to the ocean. It blocked the happiness coming into my life. What was before a beautiful ocean where everything was clean, was now a place where humans rubbish went…

I poked my head through the blanket of rubbish when I felt something cut me. “OW! That hurt.” I saw that my tail had a glass in it like sharp knives that sank into my skin. The pain didn’t stop. I tried to swim around without making it hurt too much but it was challenging. I swam as fast as I could, not caring about the blood that I was losing. I kept swimming but then, I couldn’t move anymore. My tail got caught in the rubbish…

The Waves Splashed and Sploshed from this side to that side. I tried to move but nothing was happening except me losing energy. My popped out of the water and went down again like a jack in a box. The waves were getting stronger and I was getting weaker trying to get out of the wave of rubbish but I couldn’t. I was heading straight to the beach which was even worse!

Speech Competition!

Hey there bloggers, I'm back! But before I tell you about the speech competition, let's start off with a question. Do you have a speech competition at your school? We do and I went into the finals. I only went into the finals because Mika was actually going into the finals but she didn't want to do it and I was the next person with the most points so I did it along with Jedi and Mikael. Jedi's speech was about Judging others and Mikael's one was about rubbish in the ocean. My speech was proving that not all Muslims are terrorist because it is true. I was really nervous and I didn't have much time to write my speech because I only had one day and I was under pressure. I tried my best and I came 2nd in the speech competition, Jedi came first and Mikael came 3rd. Here is a video of me saying my speech in front of the year 7 and 8's and also my speech that I wrote. Hope you enjoy my post! Bye!

Millions of people think that Muslims are terrorists, why do they think that? Do you think that all Muslims are terrorists? If you don't know what a terrorist is, it’s a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. You might be wondering, why am I talking about this, why am I standing up for Muslims? Because I AM A MUSLIM. I have seen lots of things on the news that there are bombing, wars, and things. But why can’t we just have peace in countries? Why can’t we just live like we are brothers and sisters? None of you’s can say that ALL Muslims are terrorists, you can’t call me a terrorist because I haven't killed someone or threw bombs at other countries, I haven't banned a religion because I don’t trust them from the LIES that I have heard. Hi, my name is Parwin and today I will be talking about three countries Afghanistan

Afghanistan
America
Iran

Afghanistan-
I know that there is a war going in Afghanistan and I know that there is chaos there.
But how did the war start? Do you know how it started? Have you ever wondered how it started?
According to Google: It started on 7 October 2007 and it is still going until now, and now it is 2018.
That’s 21 years! It started a group called the Taliban started to regulating most of the country 1996 but they
were conquered by British and American armed forces. But some of them are also throwing bombs
because there are lots of minerals in Afghanistan! Now that you know how the war in Afghanistan started,
let's go to America.

America-
Have you heard of 9/11? 9/11 stands for 9 of September 2001. According to Google: 9/11 started when
there was a big attack by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States. That’s how
everything started, that's how America started throwing bombs in Afghanistan and other Islamic countries.
That’s how thousands of people lost their lives from nuclear bombs to massive bombs.  Now it’s Iran's turn.
President Trump also banned Muslims from entering the U.S.

Iran-
There was a war going on in Iran in 1980 when the Iraqi armed forces started to overrun the Western parts
of Iran. Some people say that Iran is making the biggest bombs and I don’t know whether it is true or not,
what do you think? From what I have read, I half on each side, which means I %50 percent agree %50
disagree. Did you know that some people are trying to find the treasure that is in Iran because there is a lot
of treasure there that is valuable? The treasures are left behind by our Prophets or Imams that Islamic people
have.

Are you convinced you that not all Muslims are terrorist? I don’t know why America hates Muslims so
much because all of us aren't terrorist and all we want is peace. We want to run away from wars, from
bombings and from the blood. Obama says: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet
of Islam.” My speech has come to an end and thank you for listening to my speech and I hope that people
change their mind about Muslims! Thank you.

Trip To ECO Sort

Hey there bloggers, did you know that last Wednesday on 22nd of August, we went to ECO sort. Eco sort is a place where they sort all the rubbish that you put in the big wheelies bins. We learned lots of things like the 5 R's which are...

  • Reduce-Reduce the amount of rubbish.
  • Reuse-Reuse things and turn them into other things.
  • Recycle-Things that are recyclable, put them in the yellow bin because they can be turned into something new.
  • Recover-Recover things into something new.
  • Residual Disposal-Residual Disposal just means rubbish.
Usually, we would only use the first 3 R's and we already knew those but then we had to learn 2 more. We got into a group of 4 and Chris who was our tutor and Chris gave us a card each and we had to put the 5 R's in the right order. We all got it right and we were the 2nd school to get it right the first time out of 100's of schools who also visited the ECO sort. We also learned things that we didn't know, something interesting that I learned was that plastic is turned into thermals! I did hear about it but I didn't believe it. We also learned about the machines and what they do to separate each sort of things. 
I was interested in how it works and I learned that to separate the steel cans and things, they have this magnet that separates them from the other ones.  After we learned about the machinery and things, we went to the eco drop which is where anyone can drop things off that they don't need and most of it goes to the ECO shop. There were all sorts of things from gas bottles to furniture. Once we had a look at the ECO drop, went to the eco shop and we had a budget of $500 pretend dollars, to buy things for a new flat which only had a toilet, bath/shower, sinks and things and we had to get the rest like furniture, fridge, and plates. We go to pick who our partner was and I was with Jedi. We only spent around 206 dollars out of $500. After that, we went back to school and we had the speech competition. 
That was it for the trip and I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post!

Renovating houses?

Hey there bloggers! I'm back and today I will be teaching you how to make a small house. We are making small houses because it's a maths week at our school and each class does something different and our class is making tiny houses! At first, I thought it was going to be really easy since there were steps to read and it had pictures so we knew what to do. We could go in partners or do it on our own, I did it with an amazing person by the name of JEDI! We worked together and did our best when making it. Here are the steps and some photos of what we had to do!

1-Listen, Read and Discuss ALL the instructions. You WILL refer to these as much as you need to.
-We all did this on the mat with the class so everybody knew what they were doing.

2-Create a rough draft of your tiny house and include all items on the requirements list.
Our house was candy themed and there's a photo at the end!








3-Create a final version of your tiny house. There are 4 pages for the Base, Walls, and Roof. Check off each item from the requirement list.
This was the best part because we could to colour and decorate!

4-Record the area, perimeter, and geometric shape of each item from eight of the items on the requirement list.
Jedi and I did this together so it was quicker but for some of them, we got different answers.

5-Record the area and perimeter of the major section of the house (base, walls, roof/ceiling).
We worked together and finished it quickly since there were two people.

6-Cut out each of the four sections of the house and fit them together.
This part was easy but also challenging because it would keep coming off!

7-Continue your design and decorate the outside of your house.
We also enjoyed this part because we got to decorate it however we wanted.

8-Continue your design and decorate the outside of your house.
In the end, we had to reflect on what we had done.

9-Create 3D nets of some of the furnishings in your house.
This was the trickiest one because we had to make them 3d without making them rip.

This was what we did in Maths Week and I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post and maybe you should give it a try and make one yourself!
OUR FINAL HOUSE!
