What I know
-Completes 10 events
-Maximum possible score is 10 points
-To go to advance level you need to have a total score of 75 points
- Willy had an average score of 6.8 in the first five events
-He had 7.2 for the other three events
?What must Willy average on his final two events in order to have a total score of exactly 75 points?
Total score for first 5 events= 6.8x5= 34.0
Total score for next 3 events= 7.2x 3= 21.6
75.0-34.0-21.6= 19.4
Average score for the final two events = 19.4/2= 9.7
Willy needs to average 9.7 near the final score on the last two events to have a total score of 75 points to go to the advance to the regional round of the decathlon.
Problem of the week
What I know
- it takes 5 hours to cut the entire lawn using the push mower for 70 minutes
-90% of the lawn was used by the powerful riding mower
-Rest was used by the push mower
?How many minutes did it take manny to cut the entire lawn
Solution
90% o f70 minutes
90%-= 0.90
0.90x70=x
63=x
It takes 63 minutes to cut 90% of the lawn with the powerful riding mower
100%-90%=10%
He has 10% of the lawn to mow with the push mower
5x60=300 minutes to cut of 10% of the lawn
10% of 300 minutes
10%=0.10
0.10x300=x
30 =x
It took him 30 minutes to cut 10% of the lawn with push mower
63=30=93 minutes to cut the entire lawn using the powerful riding mower for 90% and push mower for 10%
Speech-Poverty
The day just started and the boy came to his mom and told her. "Mom! I am hungry and cold, I want something to eat." Mom said. "Well I don't have any food for you to eat so we will have to go outside and try to look for some". It was so cold outside and they didn't have proper clothing to wear. "But mom it´s cold outside". They forced themselves to go outside and get some food so they can start their day.
This is how people in poverty feels everyday. They have no food or shelter, they often have to sleep on the cold dirty ground listening to their stomach grumble. How would you feel if you were in poverty? You would want to go back to the way your life was before you tried living in poverty. Did you know that a child born in the poorest countries has a 1 in 6 chance of dying before their 5th birthday? But in the rich countries the odds are about 1 in 165? Itś shocking how poverty affects us but,we could end poverty. The disparity between the world’s rich and poor has never been wider. Child poverty is high in developing countries. Nelson Mandela had once said “Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is a man made and can be removed by the actions of human being”. Millions are being forced to face a painful daily reality of poverty, conflicts and lack of food while on the other hand the people who have everything increase their greed for more. Hunger is endless and desperation is overwhelming. It is up to you and I to make a difference before the world’s population drown in an ocean of poverty.

Tunnel Vision
What I know
-The train is 1000 meters travels through the 3000 meters tunnel
- 30 seconds pass from the last car completely entered the tunnel
? Determine the speed of the train in kilometers/per hour?
When the train enters the tunnel: 3000- 1000= 2000
So there is 2000 meters left to travel in the tunnel. Since the engine need to travel 2000 meters in 30 seconds, I will calculate the speed of the train by dividing the distance traveled by the time required to travel the distance
2000 divided by 30= 66.7
66.7 is the speed of the train in 1 second
66.7 multiplied by 60 (because there are 60 seconds in a minute)= 4002 is in 1 minute
4002 multiplied by 60 (because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour)= 240,120 in 1 hour
Now I need to find the distance traveled in 1 hour
240,120 divided by 1000= 240.120 km which is how much the train travels per hour
Answer is the train traveled 240. 120 km per hour
OR
3000-1000=2000 when the train enters the tunnel
The engine has to travel 2000 m in 30 seconds
2000 divided by 30= 200/30 m/s that is the speed of the train
Now I am going to convert minutes/ seconds to kilometer/ hours
200 m/3 s multiplied by 1 km/1000 km
200 km/ 3000 km= 1 km/ 15 s
1 km/15 multiplied by 60 s/1 min multiplied by 60 min/1 hour= 3600 km/ 15 hour
240 km/ 1 hour
Answer : 240 km / 1 hour the train traveled
So either way the answer will be 240 km/ 1 hour the trains speed
Art Review
This is the picture that I have chosen to write my are review because I feel that it has a strong impact and I wasn't able to take my eyes off it. I think the other two didn't really gave the meaning of why I liked it and what I'd the story behind those pictures. The painting looks realistic with all the different ways of the use of paint and the brushes. The scene is very creative and it is showing how it is raining and how the people have an umbrella over their heads. I like how they made the lighting as if they were really there in real life and how they showed the ground wet from the rain. Overall I like the picture and the way they are expressing the picture in that certain scene.
This painting looks amazing because it shows how much effort the author has put in to the painting and how he tried to express what he was thing and how he wanted to show the painting. The reason why I like this painting is because it is not to extra and it is good the way it is with the scenery. The story behind it is that boy and a girl are walking towards the darkness in a rainy evening in the forestry area. I feel that is picture shows a very good amount of realistically because from the light reflecting to the puddles and the way they are showing how it would look when it is in the evening and it's raining.
I would love to know which art museum this painting is in because I would love to see why he had want to make this art piece and who inspired him. I would want to see some of his other paintings that he has done because I think he is very creative and realistic but while doing his painting it docents have a lot of extra stuff it is I fit has the good amount.
Overall, I think that this is a good painting because of how it is being shown, how they used the different style of paint and the material that they had. I like how they make their scenery with the guy and the girl walking down the forest on a rainy evening day. The work that has been done can be showed because he has the painting as if it was really happening because the whole painting is realistic. I like the colours that he had used. I would really want to go and see more of his paintings because by poking at this painting it shows that his painting are over filled but it is good with how it looks.
How would it feel to walk in space
I am going to space! OMG! I am so excited to see all the mind blowing things in space! I will give all the planets names and I will play with them. 5,4,3,2,1 blast off! I am in space now! I miss my mommy! Let me put on my helmet and go outside. The planets are so huge and sun is over 300000 bigger than the planet Earth.
It would feel amazing to walk in space because I will be able to see many incredible thing that are on space which we can't really see while being on the ground. I would be able to see the different planets (solar systems), stars, milky way and other things that are in space which I haven't seen while being on the ground. Being in space will let me know how to live without all the things I have such as a proper room to sleep in, a proper living space because you are floating half the time and when you are in gravity you are on the ground. Being in space will allow me to discover new things. In my culture, have a great job means having more respect for yourself, so if I walk in I will be having a proud moment to for doing something great. Once I reach space I will be famous for walking in space, and everyone will treat as the girl who walked in space.
Walking in space will be so amazing because I will be able to see amazing things in the mission and walk in space seeing all the planets, stars and I will be able to float around everywhere. Being in space will be so fun because I can get a bit taller being in space, when I cry my tears won't go down but it will go up. I will be able explore what the planets do and how the stars become so visible in the night time. I would be able to know all the answers to my questions because I have a lot such as "what are the plants/ stars made of?", "why don't we receive light from all the stars in the universe?" and many more questions that I really want to get an answer for.
Space will be a new life to live in because all the things I will do will be the opposite of what I would do while being on earth. Some of the things that I will do will be either fun and some will be boring and I won't able to do the things I would normally do like watch tv, go outside and play with my friends. Some of the worst things about being in space would be it will get very lonely being in space. Being in space will teach me how to do things in many different ways such as working and floating and standing on the ground and working.
I think it would be a fun adventure to go in space and learn new things while on the other hand I would have no one to talk to and be all lonely. Walking in space will be dream come true. Its is very rare that someone will go to space for fun and to explore new things rather than doing a mission which will take a lot of time working on. So it would feel wonderful walking in space and seeing all the cool things that are around us which we can't really see while looking at the sky but when you discover it will be noticeable.

Poetry Soireè
Rebound- drawing and typing
Snowflakes- picture
My hero- video- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fNNjNOxEeYg
We had an assignment of making 3 poems which has to have one on Rebound the book we are reading in class, the other 2 can be anything. In my poem presentation I chose, snowflake that was given as an idea by my teacher and a free style poem on my grandma My Hero.
This is what I wrote in my poems:
Rebound- David
David can become very cantankerous,
His behaviour is rancorous,
He is aggressive and fierce,
He is always serious,
But still he is courageous
Snowflakes
Snow came and made everything
white
Now we can see the beautiful site
Outside the snow is falling down
Wonderland of snow has covered the town
Fresh wind pass by us
Laughter filled in the sky
An amazing time to get together
Kids playing and it seems like forever
Everyone is enjoying the snow
Small snowflakes pass by us an go
Small snowflakes pass by us an go
My Hero
My hero inspires my everyday,
She encourages me to reach my goals,
Never discourages me,
Risking her life to protect me,
She spends her time teaching me,
She is always happy,
Helping me overcome my challenges,
Never allowing a tear come out I my eye,
Being brave and bold,
Loving me more than herself,
Giving me more that what she can afford,
She is always there for me,
She I the most important person world in world,
She is precious
She is my lovely grandma❤️
Those were my three poems I did for this project.
Eye Drawing
Materials needed:
Here is my link to drawing the eye.
Hope you like my eye!
Some of the videos I had looked at were:
This is my eye drawing that we were assigned in class. I started off with looking at afew videos and getting an idea of how my eye will start and how it would look. I started doing some rough copies and got a hang of what I am doing so I had started my final copy that was on a card stock paper.
I first measured the paper with a ruler and how much I want my eye distance to be with each other and the in between them. Second, I made the outline of the eye would look (almond shape but it doesn't have to all the time, different eyes have different outline). Then, that I used any circular object to make the pupil (I used a toonie). I made a small circle and a little window inside the pupil. Next, I made lines in the pupil as showin in the video. After all that I coloured the circle in the pupil and then the rest if the pupil but not the area I had made lines on. Then, I smudged the dark colouring into the part where you made the lines. Lastly, I made a little section that is pink when you look at a real eye.
To make the eye lashes I first started off with making the top eyelashes, so I made the eyelashes into waves and when I thought it is like eyelashes I used it. For the bottom part where the eye starts I made a little gap between the eye and made a smile out of it (that is how it's supposed to look like), in the beginning of the eye the eyelashes at the bottom will be little and as I went to the end it became bigger. For the eyebrows I made shaded in the lines but in a quick motion.
Ted Talk Video
our food system
Ted Talk Video
Author- Birke Beahr
Authors biography- 11 year old boy named Birke who's passion is to talk about the food we eat. He studies the sustainable and organic farming. He is an offical farmer. He is always thinking about information that is great and will allow is his peers to know something that is happening to the food that we eat. His goal to is to tell others about the destructiveness of the industrialized food system. Birke Baehr is famous for teaching others about what is happening in out industry and how we can help our economy for having healthy, organic and fresh food to eat.
Why we should watch it in class- I think that we should watch this video in class because it is telling us how the expectation of the process and the reality right now for making the food we eat. The moral of this video is to make us understand how our food is made/ processed. We need to know what's inside of our food, where it comes from and how it is made/ the process of making the food.
Knowing all this would be good because we should know if we are getting food that at is organic, healthy and fresh not with chemicals and other processes that are put on to make them last longer than the day it is supposed to rot. The video tells us how some of the food that we eat can have cancer and it can harm our intenstines and that isn't good for our body.
Knowing what goes inside our food is important because they could be putting anything to make the food sweet, bigger and more in the color it needs. Seeing the steps/ process for how they make our food, what chemicals they put in and what type of chemicals so it doesn't harm us. Lastly, we need to know where it comes from because the some I the food we eat sit really grow in the t area and they will duplicate the food. Once I saw a video that showed a person duplicating a cabbage and it looked alike and with that we can tell that it has a lot of chemical to make it.
In conclusion, we should watch this video because we get to know what is happening to our food system and how we can do something to help make a change before all the food the food we eat not just be filled with chemicals and other bad stuff in it.
Video choose- The difference between winning and succeeding
Link to the video:
Author- John Wooden
Author's biography- John Wooden is known as a coach that made UCLA's winning records that was matchless in the basketball history. He was named 'Wizard of Westwood', when he was the coach of UCLA and had won 10 national championships. John Wooden was named the national coach of the year six times. John Wooden is famous for being the head coach of the UCLA Bruins basketball team. He has a book called "They call me coach", it is about his life, players, and his winning attitude.
Why we should see this video in class- We should see this video in class because John Wooden talks about how we shouldn't compare each other by how smart or how dumb someone is, his basketball journey, liking to write poetry and discribes the meaning of success.
His speech is very powerful, inspiring, and courageous.
The speech that John Wooden talks about: being successful doesn't mean you have to have A's and B's or 90's or 100's, that is because we all have differen way of learning, some learn slow and the others may learn fast.
His defination of success was 'peace of mind attained only the theough self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable of'. Like his dad said 'you should never try thinking that your better than someone else.
He always reminded his players that when ever the game is over don't let others know that you didn't outcome , they shouldn't know it from your actions too. The opponent shouldn't tell by the actions whether you outscored them or they had outscored you.
Mr. Wooden talked about when he was the coach of UCLA and how the players had to get the self satisfaction for know ong that they can do there best of what they are capable of.
The book that he had mentioned 'they call me coach' is about him talking about his coaching years, from difficult times to the easy, his two players Conard Burke and Doug McIntosh, and their personality.
In conclusion, we should watch this video in class because it talks about the reality of people. We need to learn how success is really earned and how we can make I happen if we work hard to achieve it.
Some of John Wooden quotes are:
"The best completion I have is against myself to become better"
"Nothing will work unless you do"
"Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts"
"If you want to go fast, go alon. If you want to go far you need a team"
"When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare"
Favourite Photo
This is my favourite photo because it was our first project that we did as a group on photography that was very interestingly fun and enjoyable. Our group had one the best collection of photos. In this project we were asked to make a dramatic scene with a description of what is happening in that particular scene. The book that we did this project on is Rebound By: Eric Walters. This is a scene when Scott was outside the school property smocking and Sean was telling him how he could get in trouble. " If I was caught on school property and you were standing with me, then you'd get in trouble too". Having good positivity from the class this was our good but not the best. That is why this picture is one of the best we made in as a group so far.
Response-Uniform
Question:
Should or should we not have uniform in school?
Uniforms? Why should we wear them? We should have uniforms for school because you represent where you are from. When we go on a trip and someone gets lost, you are able to find them with the uniform and if they were not wearing it you won't be able to find them. That is because you are in a certain dress code you you are representing. Yes, there are times when wearing uniforms can become spiritless and you would want to show who you really are.
Wearing the same thing over and over again is vexatious so we should change. When we don't wear uniform it causes crime, gang, bullying and other matters. Wearing no uniforms we have chances to show who we really are and what our characteristics in real life is. When we don't wear uniforms there are chances that people won't come to school because they are getting bullied and/or other matters (eg. Not having trendy clothes like your friend). Having no uniforms will make other people judge people even more because of what they wear and how they look.
Some of the facts that uniforms help us are: The statistics claim that 44% I the parents have observed that their kids focus more in their school after wearing uniforms. Assaults of student of children from kindergarten to grade 8 had also reduced by 85%. Implementation of this rule was vandalism, where it's instances reduced by 69%. Number of sex offenses drastically reduced as an effect of implementing the school uniform rule.
Some of the clothes that we wear are made by a child which is called "child labor". It wouldn't take a lot of time to find which clothes to wear every morning, when we have uniform it is easy to know what to wear "UNIFORM", rather than wasting time in the morning to find/decide what to wear. If we wear uniforms there are less chances I having crime, gang, and bullying matters. It encourages to be discipline. It increase the peer pressure by buying trendy clothes. Increases the sense of belonging and school pride.
Quote on wearing uniform is: " the uniform in my opinion are a good idea, they are very professional looking, cheap, than buying clothes every week and show school spirit. Also, means we don't worry much about how we look. I also think that uniform reduce peer problems, people have more friends that they wouldn't normally have because of the way they dress. Uniform solve problems. -Luis Piodrate.
In conclusion, uniforms are great way to reduce many things (eg. gang, crime, sex, peer pressure, and bullying). Having uniforms can show our school spirits an how our dress code is and how we represent. That is why having uniforms in school is a good idea.
