Daylight Savings

This week we started on writing about what we did for the extra hour we had on Sunday due to daylight savings ending

here are the instructions on what we had to do

Instructions: 

Last weekend the Government gave us back the hour we lost because of Daylight Saving.

At the end of Period 5 last Friday Mr Mitchell said we had to write 100 words (or more) to describe what we did with our extra hour over the weekend. Using the skills we learnt last week with “Writing a Better Sentence”, Here is what I wrote

On Sunday we got an extra hour to spend on Sunday because daylight savings ended. I woke up at my normally time that was 8am but when I checked the time is was only 7am I was confused but I remembered that daylight savings ended. At 12pm went out to the beach to have a walk  After that we went home to get changed and went to walk both of the dogs around the block 3 times. We then went home and made some lolly cake and then watched a movie and then went to sleep and woke up to have dinner 

Tiny Home Projects

Last term and this term we have been making a Tiny house. First of  all we had to make a blue print of how the furniture was gonna be placed and how the walls were gonna be set up. Once our blue print was done we had to transfer that onto a bigger blueprint, we then had to cut it out and make a Tiny home.  Then we had to add up all the cost on how much it was. All of mine combined came to $6976.81

 

Science Experiments Are Useful To Test Ideas And Thinking

I say they were a good thing because it was self-defense for people fighting other people when the war started. I would say yes and no because it kills people and just sets everything on fire and burns everything down. When everything is on fire it will be hard to get rid of the fire. The Catapults were really really big and you had to have big animals to pull the Catapults because it was that big.  They used horses to pull the Catapults because of how big it was.  So I’m saying it is a good and bad thing but I mostly think that it was good and I agree that they used it to defend their selves when they are fighting a group and even more people. And it was also moveable and that’s why the horses could move it while walking with the other people on the other horses
