Spelling Scrapbook

In Rm 20 we do spelling scrapbooking, we learn about rules for sounds and  words for sounds. Here is a page of mine on the long ' ar ' sound. 

Homework Argument

I believe that children should get homework daily. Firstly because it makes parents aware what their children are learning at school. Secondly children could improve on their learning and finally, if children had no homework they would get bored.

Parents might be too busy to come into their child's classroom so students can bring their work home and share it with their parents. This makes parents aware of what their children are learning at school.

Homework supports school learning through practicing reading, maths and spelling. I think they should write the word and equation ten times each.

If children play on Ipods and watch TV (Television) all day they would get bored. When they have homework it gives students something challenging for them, therefore they won’t get bored.

I strongly believe that children should do homework daily. It is a fun activity and it is good to practice to improve in your learning.

Syn 4 Term 2 Showcase

Sadly it is week 11, to celebrate our learning we had a showcase. Lex Sinclair and I worked  on a presentation about global warming, here is a photo of our presentation.

Aurora Australis

Have you ever witnessed nature’s light show dancing across the night sky? This colourful display is often referred to, and known as ‘The Southern Lights’. What causes this spectacular illumination Aurora Australis?,

An aurora is caused by a solar flare from the sun. A solar flare is when the sun ejects a cloud of electrons, ions and atoms into space. Then this cloud of particles heads for Earth.

Earth has a magnetic field that covers the whole planet like a blanket and it acts as an invisible shield. The magnetic field  guides particles to the North and South poles following the shape of the magnetic field.

The ions accelerate and collide with other particles. The particles get excited and explode releasing energy in the form of light.

The amazing display is only seen in the night. Down south it is called The Southern Lights and Aurora Australis and up north it is called Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis.
