Jedi ball

I think that Jedi ball will only be a fear game if you play by the rules if you don't play by the rules it won't be fear, but also I also think that  just team 5 playing Jedi ball will not make Jedi ball a fear game for the rest of the school.We should let the rest of the school play and only the Jedi master can stay in the game no matter what age they are.So we can have a turn for year 1's and then we can take turns and the Jedi master can stay in the game not matter what year you are.

Solution 1: To let each year play Jedi ball each week

Solution 2: To have year play each day of the week

Solution 3:To have each year group play at free time

Solution 4:You can let kids to play and you can try to make the game more bigger and more players can play

Solution 5 :You can just let the year 7's & 8's play Jedi ball

What is the purpose of school?

The purpose of school is to learn and to have a better education. I get sent to school everyday so that we can learn some thing new.If we did not go to school we would not know how to write , spell , read or count.Our parent sent us to school to learn how to do better at something that you are probably   not good at so you can practice to get better at the subject.If you didn't have school you could be home schooled.So the main purpose of school is to learn and have had a happy time learning.
Reason to go school

• To have a good education. 
• To learn better
• To get better at a specific subject.
• To have a chance to have a friend ship
• To learn learn  (main word)
• Also you have to go to school as part of the law (you can get  home school)
• If you get a good education you would most likely get a good job.
• So now you know why you have to go to school? 
• SO GO TO SCHOOL!!!

Reading

Mammal is the name given to any warm-blooded animal that has hair 

on its body, gives birth to live babies, and produces milk 

to feed its young. This group includes humans. 

These physical features mean that mammals are much better equipped than other animals for survival.
Mammals change the food they eat into heat which the blood carries around the body.
The mammal is therefore able to keep its body at a constant temperature no matter what the surrounding weather.
The hair or fur on its body helps to hold in the heat in cold weather.
Many mammals also have sweat glands which cool the skin and take heat away, allowing them to live
in hot places. Every species of mammal has other special physical features that help them survive. 

Unlike other animals, mammals can be found in many different habitats.
In North America habitats vary from snow in the north to forests and deserts further south.
Some mammals live in burrows, some live in trees, while others wander freely through the wilderness
. They will usually establish a home range or territory from which they will discourage
other groups or members of their species. 

Mammals must eat all the time because they need fuel to burn to keep up their body temperature.
Some eat meat, some eat only plants, and some eat both. They have a selection of food that they
eat and they have worked out ways to go about collecting it. Some species are better at doing this
than others and find it easier to survive. 

All mammal species have very strong instincts to reproduce. They have a mating season during
which the males will fight over the females. In many cases only the strongest males get to mate which
means that the babies born are strong and more likely to survive. If the species is small in size and easily
caught by predators they usually have a greater number of babies to make sure that some survive.
Most mammal babies grow inside the mother for many months. When the baby is born it is fed from
mammary glands which deliver milk directly into the mouth of the young. 

Most animals act on instinct but mammals have the ability to learn.
They are able to recognise each other and talk to each other. Because of this many mammals
live in social groups or families and have rules that must be followed. Because they are fed on their
mothers' milk, young mammals have a much longer childhood than other young animals that have to
find their own food. This means they have the chance to copy and learn adult behaviour. 

Every species preys on other species but may also end up as food themselves.
Over time, species work out how to recognise predators and avoid being eaten.
Predators will often look for weak or sick animals to attack. Getting rid of these weak
animals is nature’s way of keeping a species fit and healthy so that it will be able to
cope with changes in the future.

Mammals always compete with each other
for space especially with humans. Most large
mammals cannot live in the places that man creates such
as cities. Natural habitats are constantly shrinking as the human
population increases and man needs more space for his activities.
Man has also managed to threaten many mammal species through hunting
for food and sport or because the species is considered a nuisance. In some cases
species have become extinct because man has introduced species into a habitat and destroyed
the balance of nature.

Notes:

1. Mammal is what we call a warm-blooded animal.

2. Each mammal has its own special physical features to help them survive.

3. Most mammals can not live in large 

places like the city.

4. Mammals always compete with each other especially humans.

5. Mammals must eat all the time because they need fuel to burn to keep up their body temperature.

Reading

Walt: Indentify and paraphrase key ideas in a text.

Task description:This week in reading we where learning about mammals.We have learnt that mammals are warm blooded animals with fur on its body.The fur on its body helps the mammals keep warm and it helps the mammal camouflage.

If you cut the arm of an octopus octopus tentacles  will still move.

Once female give birth they die the female also will eat the male.

After a female octopus lays a clutch of eggs, she quits eating and wastes away; by the time the eggs hatch, she dies

Octopus only lasts 1-2 years. 

80 million cells 

Octopus has nine brains

Octopus also blue blood  

Octopus has 3 hearts 2 hearts pump blood into the gills and the other heart while a third circulates it to the rest of the body.  

Octopuses are ocean creatures that are most famous for having eight arms and bulbous heads

So there are 25 million colour organs called “chromosomes” in the skin and all those bumps out there which we call “papile” they are neurally controlled  and can change instantaneously.

  Where does octopus live  ?they live in chilly (60 degrees Fahrenheit or colder) 

Octopuses are Semelparity animals, which means they reproduce once and then they die. After a female octopus lays a clutch of eggs, she quits eating and wastes away; by the time the eggs hatch, she dies. ... Females often kill and eat their mates; if not, they die a few months later too

At technology I have chosen to make a box.First I used a pencil ,paper, ruler and a peace of wood.We had to make a full size working drawing of my project because you can fix your mistake on paper but not on wood and drawing a picture on a full sized drawing will prove that it can be made.Step 2 I use a  ruler and a piece of wood.I marked a square line at 90 degrees across and under using a tri-square.I cut the wood in half using a backed saw and a bench hook.I marked out the join using a Tri-square,pencil and a piece of wood.After I marked out the joint I used the Wood chisel and a mallet to  get the unwanted wood to make the joint.After a made both joints I ask Mr Grundy to glued the joints together.
