Work Interview Comment

Recently in class we have been interviewing people in the community about their work life. Today we interviewed Zak and Cameron's dad Jarred. 

I think it was interesting how Jarred has done lots of volunteer work. I also thought it was interesting how he worked in the air force and how for work experience he blinked a fish eye puppet for a kids T.V show. I thought the story with the pot plant was funny as well. Jarred also mentioned that we should have technology, communication, leadship, and attiude skills for our working life.

Fair Trade Learning

At school recently we have been doing a lot of learning to do with Fair Trade. First off we started with learning what Fair Trade is. I learnt some new information about what happens in other countries. I can't believe kids my age are forced to work all day and get no education. We made fair trade poems in groups or on our own. I paired up with Tara for our poem, we did an accrostic poem. We looked at examples of Fair Trade poems and got some insparation off of them. We wrote down our poems on fair trade sacks using Indian Ink. When Karen was making the sacks flat, she found a few Fair Trade coffee beans! Along the way we also got to try some Fair Trade chocolate, looked at some Fair Trade packaging. Some people used stencils to write down their poem, others did it free hand. Also next time your at the supermarket try buy some Fair Trade items. 

Here are some photos of Tara and I's poem.

Balloon Sound Experiment

Despite you only tapping lightly on the balloon your ears can hear the noise loudly. When you blew up the balloon you forced the air molecules inside the balloon closer to each other. Because the air molecules inside the balloon are closer together, they become a better conductor of sound waves than the ordinary air around you Link To Website: CLICK

R.I.P Reflection

Remember and describe what you did - Today Ruma J went on a walk for the flora and fauna with Mr Barnett and Henk,Henk is a worker at DOC and is an expert on plants.

Identify the important part -The important part is remembering what the names of the tree's are so if your family wants to know you can tell them.

Plan how you will use this in the future -I think that in the future if I wanted to get a job at DOC I could remember this experience and show them.
