Why sports is better than music

 Some people may think that music is better than sports, and although that is their opinion, sports has so much more benefits.

Firstly, sports makes you run around and actually socialize, and while that's happening you'll probably lose a bunch of weight!

Secondly, there are many varieties of sports such as rugby, touch, tennis, soccer, squash, and so much more.

Thirdly sports relieves so much stress. When you get involved in sports, you take your mind away from school homework and all that work.

Conclusion: Some people may think that music relieves stress, but unlike sports you could get so many cuts and blisters. If schools were to stop sports events, there would be a lack of muscle development in students. Sports is also great practise for strength, speed, and agility. Schools need more sporting events for the physical and mental wellbeing for students

Jai's LCS Paper Planes

 

Hello! this is an LCS about paper planes. We were given a set of challenges to complete with our planes!

Jai's Activity Sheet Stage 7 Fractions Overview

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios

Stage 7 Overview 

I can solve stage 7 problems.  

Learning Outcome: I can...	Problem to solve	Thinking and Answer
Use a range of  multiplication and  division strategies  to solve problems  with fractions,   proportions   and ratios.	1. Convert the following improper fractions to mixed number  fractions:  a.214 = 5 ¼ b. 152 = 7 ½ C.2710 = 2 7/10
	2. Convert the following mixed numbers into improper fractions: a. 4 23  b. 3 12 = 7/2 c. 3 35 18/5
	3. Write these fractions in their simplest form:  a.515 1/3 b. 1025 2/5 C.416 1/4

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios  

	4. Find the missing number in these to make these fractions  equivalent:  a.25 = ?20 = 5 b. 58 = ?40 =10 c.56 = 25? 5
	5. In a bag of marbles, we find blue  marbles, red marbles, and yellow  marbles in a ratio of 6 : 1 : 2.  If the bag of marbles contains 22  yellow marbles, how many marbles  are there in total?	Thinking:   blue red and yellow in ratio of 6:1:2. 22 yellow  then how many in totally 22 divided by 2 = 11 meanin they times it by 11, so then there are 99 Answer: 99
Convert and   rename common  fractions, decimals  and percentages.	6. Fill in the blanks so the fractions, decimals and percentages are all  equivalent:  Fraction Percentage Decimal  1  2 0.5 = 1.05 75% 0.75 = 0.50 10% = 10??? 0.25 = 0.5

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios  

Can find fractions  of whole numbers  using multiplication  and division facts.	7. There are twenty one bottles of  honey for sale and three sevenths  have sold? How many jars have  been sold?	Thinking:  21 bottle 3/7 sold are sold. 3x7=21 so 7 are sold Answer 7
	8. There are forty trees in the orchard  and four fifths of them are apple  trees. The rest are pear trees.   How many apple trees are there?	Thinking:  40 trees ⅘ are apple  Rest are pear Answer: 32 are apple and 8 are pear
Can add and   subtract fractions  with the same   and different   denominators.	9. Rachel ate one eighth of the cake.  Leo ate five eighths of the cake.  How much cake is left?	Thinking:  rachel ate ⅛ leo ate ⅝ 6/8 gone Answer: ¼
	10. In the surfing shop, 25 of the  surfboards are shortboards and 310 are longboards. What fraction are  either shortboards or longboards?  Show your working out.	Thinking:  ⅖ shortboard 3/10 long 7/10 Answer: 7/10 total 3/10 short 4/10 long

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios  

Compare fractions  using < > =	11. Use the < > = signs to compare these fractions:  a.36<26  b. 710<910  c.36<12  d. 58<34
Order mixed   fractions.	12. Put these fractions in order from smallest to largest. 17 5 3 1 2 14 4     48 6 4 2 4 3???

Hello! These are a set of challenges set to me by my teacher, this sheet contains a lot of fractions, in fact its even stage 7! 

If you need help for kumon maybe you could take some notes. (all of them aren't exact so feel free to correct me)

Why we need a new senior playground

 Dear: Mr. Tetzlaff, the current state of the playground is really dangerous.

First of all, the poor choice of color and material is really poor and risky. if someone were to trip and fall, they'd go straight to the Sick Bay. Maybe you could've gone with something softer than steel?

Secondly, there's absolutely no fairness. The junior playground is massive, its even decked with a rock climbing wall, a few small square huts, and most importantly a massive circular tube!

Don't even get me started on the middle school playground.

They have so much stuff that I can't even list them all off! They have a swing, an obstacle course, a slide, and a spider web!

Thirdly, its very boring. Not only the color scheme, but the actual contents are boring! All there are is 2 risky heights which keep in mind, are restricted. and some monkey bars...

Lastly the heights are unrestricted, in the playground you could be pushed by a kid at any moment. By the way, if you're on duty look under the rock climbing wall in the senior playground.

Jai's T3 W2 Reading Tasks: I have something to say!

 

These are some reading tasks set to me by my teacher. This contains a lot of content about different views and arguments in writing and reading!

If you're struggling with these things feel free to study my answers and maybe, just maybe you'll be a little prepared.

Jai, Liam and James' LCS Catapult

 

Hello everybody! This is an LCS about our activity about building a freakin' catapult!

This was really fun and I had a blast making it too!

Why we should have zoos

 Zoos, short for Zoological Parks have existed since 1500 B.C. The first ever zoo was made by Queen Hatshepsut. In egypt by collecting animals all over africa, Emperor Wen wang went out of his way to build a zoo to display power and wealth.

Now with the history out the way let me tell you why zoos are good.

I believe zoos are good because they can substantially increase the population of endangered animals by making them mate until they cause an uprise in population.

Firstly, zoos give animals protection. this increases the population of endangered species from poachers and hunters.

Secondly, they provide enough food, water & space to last them.

Thirdly, they give their species proper habitats for them to survive countless years. They also occasionally give them a partner for mating.

My conclusion: zoos provide enough resources to last the animal a while.

zoos protect the animals from any natural harm, such as predators, poachers, hunters & rivals

Action Shots

 As he bolted towards the horizon, all he needed to do was gain momentum. He was a cheetah, gracefully sprinting towards was to become destiny.

The feeling was something he had never felt before, there was something that had encouraged him to keep on going, something that had chosen his career.

Through the depths of the mountains and sheer will, he had done it. He had finally made it.

Jai's W6 T2 Reading Tasks

 

Hello, this is a series of tasks we have to do for the week!

This was really fun and I definitely liked this week

Stranded

 What would you do if you were stranded on a Tropical Island? Certainly not much, here's the POV of someone stranded on an island.

"Woah, where am I?", I was stuck on a Tropical Island with zero help AT ALL.

"Welcome to my Testing Lab." a strange voice announced.

"Its not really a Lab if its on an island."

"That's besides the point!" "Its basically Adam and Eve all over again."

"Haha, very funny let me go you little-"

"Good luck I'm tired"

I started climbing a Niu (coconut tree) and started collecting coconuts for food and water, it was until I had found more land, it turned out there was other people on custom made islands, attempting to survive. One even had wood logs everywhere. We made a plan, We can gather wood logs and escape, but ONLY if we co-operate.

everyone had agreed until the voice had awoken, it turns out he had a control centre he was using for the voice changer.

Apon closer inspection I had noticed someone inside the control centre.

"Kellan!?"

"All along I had gathered you guys to compete, instead you just blew my cover" "well played"
