Room 12 Helps Us Out!

This afternoon 4 students from Room 12 (Miria, Don, Elizabeth and Damien) popped into our room to show us how to embed videos, improve the layout of our presentations and use animations and backgrounds in our inquiry learning.

 They explained how to transfer our hydropower information from google docs to google slides. The session was awesome with these expert learners from Room 12 sharing their knowledge and teaching us new tips and tricks.

The Door-By Akanesi

As I was walking down the hallway a door suddenly appeared out of nowhere.It was very colourful and I turned on the light so I could see it properly. I wasn’t scared so I opened it. A young lady came out of the door and said "Hello Akanesi, welcome to the world of second chances. They call it the world of second chances because it is a place for people who made a big mistake and they can change it."

Now I haven't made any mistakes in my past because I am only young. But I walked in anyway. I saw a lot of people in there and it was really scary. She told me the reason I’m in there is because in the future I will make the biggest mistake of  of my life and I will regret it everyday. I was there to change my future and stop the mistake from happening.

The Annoying Weatherbomb. - By Sebastian.

I was supposed to go to Dunkirk Reserve on Saturday to watch my friends play rugby. That never happened because a weatherbomb hit.

Saturday morning was boring because all the ultra-heavy rain, strong winds and cold temperature cancelled all outdoor sports. There was nothing to do so I went to the Internet Cafe and played games.

The weatherbomb ruined my day.

Living Green-By Elaine

By throwing your waste in the right bin, you can help the landfills from overfilling with rubbish that could actually go in the recycling or compost. Little things like tossing plastic water bottles in the recycling bin and then throwing food scraps in the compost can help the environment and creatures a lot.   

Act now, because before you know it the Earth will just be a giant rubbish tip. The future is in our hands. Do you want clean or dirty hands?

Recycle for worms-By Tyla

You normally just think about throwing out your food scraps when you are finished eating. But why don’t you recycle it? You might have a pet that can eat any sort of food you don’t want.  And if you don't there are other creatures who will eat your leftovers.

The best thing to do if you don’t have any pets is to dig a hole and put all the scraps in. Then cover the scraps with dirt. Why would  you do this? Well you see all your scraps will either be eaten by worms or rot into the ground to make the soil fertile for plants.

Worms make the soil awesome for plants. That’s why you need to recycle your waste.

Mechanical Man-By Quros

I would like to learn how to be a mechanic.

I would like to be a mechanic when I’m a bit older so I can make new inventions. Being a mechanic will be very cool because if my car or motorbike breaks down I can get my own tools and fix it. There’re all kinds of mechanics.

But, I want to be an Auto-mechanic. I shall make family's lifestyle eco-friendly by inventing cars that run on water instead of petrol. I shall be the only one in the world that can fix these cars and I will be rich.

Piano Man-By Samuel

I have always wanted to play the piano because all of my family play music.

Playing the piano could be the best thing to happen to me. I always see my

cousin playing the piano and I always say to myself that I want to do that too.The piano might look easy but I know it is hard to learn.

If I have the chance to learn it, I will take it and play beautiful music at home.
