This was a screenshot I took when i got 100% on my 1 step equation quiz. It was very easy doing this quiz because it was only addition and subtraction in this quiz. Next time I am hoping to do another quiz, one much more challenging.

This morning I did a prototec test to see if I have accelerated in my basic facts. I have not accelerated and I am really disappointed. Going from 97% to 77% is not good at all. To accelerate in basic facts I am going to learn some more about fractions and percentage because that is what I struggle on. I also wish to get a higher score than 77% as well.

Social media - Youtube

Youtube is a very popular site that I use because of what it can do. It can be used to watch any type of video, such as music videos, funny videos and educational videos. Sometimes I use it to watch the video blog of the youtube channels I subscribed to.  Youtube can be watched on anything, like a phone,tablet,computer and ps4, specifically anything connected to the internet.  You can also use it to write what you think about the video you just watched.  When you are bored at home you can watch youtube to make you smile.

Chemical change-Pancakes

WALHT: Write a paragraph on chemical change.

Today room 8 and I made a chemical change, by cooking pancakes. The first thing of this process was combining all of the ingredients to make a slimy type of batter, while our teacher was preheating the stove. When the stove was all heated up we melted the butter and started cooking the pancakes. While the pancakes were cooking we could smell its delicious scent and see the bubbles, which was releasing gas. I know this was a chemical change because all of the signs went according to the scientific method.

Diwali-Rangoli Patterns

Diwali is a Hindu celebration that runs for 5 days and is the celebration of light. It is a wonderful festival and a lot of people love celebrating it. Most people believe that Diwali honors Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. For most Hindus Diwali marks a new year. Everyone dresses up in bright colored clothes. Everyone lightens up their houses by putting up candles,lanterns and electric lights up around their houses. Diwali is the biggest celebration in India.

When you buy new clothes for Diwali you must have a bath and cleanse your skin, washing away all the evil from your past. The clothing you wear to the festival must be bright colored. During this celebration women would be in the kitchen cooking up a huge meal for their loved ones. They also light up fireworks and give gifts to their neighbors and friends. Hindus also clean their houses because they believe that the Gods are coming to visit them.  They also draw rangoli patterns outside of their door because it shows that people are welcome. Traditionally they use broken rice or powder to do the rangoli patterns.

Today in the reading session Room 8 drew their own rangoli patterns. We used chalk instead of broken rice and powder because we didn’t have that. In the images at the top there is some of the rangoli patterns that we drew with the chalk. While Natalia and I were drawing our rangoli pattern it was quite hard because we ran out of space, but we managed to finish our pattern. Drawing the rangoli patterns was really fun!.

This afternoon I learnt that Diwali is the festival of light and is the biggest celebration in India. I also learnt that Diwali in English means “rows of light” and also how to make rangoli patterns.
