Foot Print Analysis
On Tuesday in Forensic Science we learnt about footprints and recently we learn about handprints/fingerprints. For fingerprints, we learnt about the different patterns like whorls, loops and arches. I recently discovered that the majority of my fingerprints are looped and only a few are whorls.
What is a footprint? A footprint is a mark that is left on top of a surface by people and is usually used to investigate and find clues in forensics science, they can tell the different prints made by the shoe. Footprints can be left by both animals and humans, they could also be barefoot or with shoes. Footprints/shoeprints can also be used to figure out both weight and height.
Social Studies Gladiator Poster
Last week we made an advertisement poster about ancient gladiators from the past. We learned about Roman numerals, Roman Sports and where gladiators would be forced to fight.
Lawyer Paragraph:
The ancient Romans have invented many things that our generation still use to this day! Inventions that Romans have created helped us improve technology around the world, buildings, surgical tools, sanitary systems, roads etc). These inventions have helped humans around the world, withstanding, supernatural storms, making human lives easier and safer.
My Holiday :)
I am going to write about my time during my holiday. Physically, I've gone out to the mall with my friends for 4 hours, walking around outside and inside the mall, we even got to buy food together, rings, and more. I also went to one of my friend's birthdays, went to the city too, and a lot more but I mostly spent my time at home playing games, watching movies, and making also making Omurice with my brother.
I also spent some time improving my drawing skills and also my writing skills, and also reading skills. I tried studying mathematics since the end-of-year tests were coming up this term but I kinda am forgetful so I kinda don't remember some things that I studied. I also played a lot of games with my friends online and we also tried to make Dalgona candy with one of them but we miserably failed.
Lastly, we went to go buy some snacks from Japan Mart & Big T to buy some snacks since we were planning to watch a movie at night. We also bought an instant Bubble Tea maker which tasted decent but had a strange aftertaste that made my head dizzy and hurt. Emotionally, my holidays weren't that boring but it wasn't that exciting either and I also did cry a lot because of watching Animes & Kdramas. I also read a lot of mangas and manhwas online but some of them aren't completed.
Technology Lawyer Paragraph
Technology has gradually changed over the years like how humans have also changed throughout the years. The reason why technology now is so much more advanced is that they’ve made it safer, efficient, faster etc). Like how planes in the past were commonly hijacked but now planes have been given improvements and new technology. Also how cars in the past used to produce a lot of smoke but now technology has been minimalizing how much toxic air cars produce to help the environment. There is more shown proof that technology has changed like how humans have changed, but has technology changed for the better or for the worse? For humans, life has been easier but for our environment, it could be different.
ESOL REFLECTION
The best lesson for me this term was when we did the hearing test and got free time at the end of the lesson. I enjoyed doing the hearing test because it was challenging and that you needed to carefully listen to be able to get a high score. I also enjoyed it when at the end of the lesson the teacher let us use our phones and film videos. Something I enjoyed very much throughout the year was when we had to do a slide presentation about something that was related to a movie called Penguin, A movie that thought about the process of grief. It was my favourite lesson of ESOL when we all had to present our projects and read them out loud, although it was a bit embarrassing, we all managed to overcome our fears and present to the whole class.
I was very proud of the presentation I did since I spent a really long time practising, making the slide look interesting, and also researching about Thailand. Something that I would do differently next term is to fix my volume when I speak and carefully listen to the teacher when they are explaining something to us that is important for our learning.
I hope next term we can do more physical activities in groups, like going on a trip somewhere, debates between each other, kahoots, quizlets, etc). I like having ESOL especially when I am together with my friends.
DLO SOCIAL STUDIES
What was the New Zealand Land March? A land march that was lead by Whina Cooper including 50000 Marchers. It was a petition that was signed by more than 60,000 people.
Understand the events that caused the protest? The protest took place because Maori were suffering cultural loss, land alienations. Basically in the past Maori were treated unfairly compared to other people in New Zealand. The Land March was successfully led with the support of many and by a very special person called Dame Whina Cooper who led the Land March proudly.
After the New Zealand land march, the Maori finally had enough courage to stand up for themselves and everyone started being aware of the land loss and everything else. They also started letting Maori speak their own languages, share their culture with other people, making Maori language week an official event around New Zealand, and also making Maori one of the official languages in New Zealand.
For these three weeks, I've learnt more about Maori culture and about its historical past.
