PE 100m sprints

On Monday in PE we were doing our sprints practise before athletics. First we got into groups on who wanted to do what out of 100m, 200m, 300m, 800m and 1500m, most people did 100m and thats what I did. After that each group got a stopwatch and then we went outside to get ready to do our sprints I only took  10 seconds and then me and my friends were mucking around climbing trees and then it was time to come back to the gym and do a log post. For me the time went really fast.

Types of government

For the last couple of weeks in power to the people we have been learning about politics. What I have learnt about politics was that the word politics comes from the Greek politika meaning relating to public life. After that our teachers introduced to us a interdependent matrix that they have made for us. On that matrix was different links to tasks that we had to do within the time limit that we had. There were different tasks for this topic that we had to do some of them were Types of government, Our prime minister, critical literacy, slam poetry and much more. Here is a photo of different types of topics.

The one that I have chosen first was types of government it was very fun to do when you are stuck into it like I was. I did it on paper which took it even longer and now im coping it onto this blog Here is the work that I have done it is pretty long. 

Brainstorm what do you think a government is? ... Ask the person beside you? Ask someone else? ...

What do you think a government is ?

People that protects our country 

People that makes it a better place if something goes wrong

Sorts out a problem or trys to fix it

Write down any words you have never heard before and find the dictionary definition for them e.g. anarchy.

Anarchy - A state of disorder due to absence of authority or other controlling system.

Administering - Manage and be responsible for the running of a business

Democracy - A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state.

Dictatorship - Government by a dictator

1. Do you think that countries or communities that are bigger (more people) need a more complex government system than smaller ones need?

Yes I do because they need more people on the job so they can make the population more better & bigger

2. What benefit(s) do you think people gain from being in a group?

You can get more information & sharing ideas to people so they have ideas from that idea

3. How can having a leader or group of leaders help people?

Because they have the power to help people to be better & to control the people

4. Why do you think some countries have or prefer to have no government (anarchy)?

Because some people dont vote for them cause they dont make the country a better place and they dont have authority to control the system

Steve Jobs

This week for business studies we have been learning about entrepreneurs and what they do. What entrepreneurs do is that they organise a business or businesses and they show other people how to do so. Teachers told us to get into pairs and chose a entrepreneur and research about them, Benjamen and I chose Steve Jobs but he passed away in 2011 from cancer. We had to answer some questions about about this person. The questions will be in the slideshow that I am going to show you.

Here is the slide show that we have made.

The new cooking room

Today in Home Economics We didn't cook because this is our first time in cooking for this year. The first task we wrote down the Expectations, Personal safety and Personal Hygiene. After that we went into the older kid kitchen room because we year 9's now and everything is different. After that our teacher gave us a task to tell yous about our first expressions on going into the new room.

What my first expressions was WOW because it was a lot bigger brighter and so much better. What I liked about it was that everything was tidy and cleaner that the other cooking room. Everything was much better I don't even know what to say.

Here are photos of the new cooking room.  Enjoy :)
