My Evaluation For The Year

What have I learnt in the past year?

I have learnt many things this year, but what I really enjoyed learning was how to transfer % into decimals and decimals into fractions. I also really enjoyed learning the different types of art such as cubism. I liked researching about different topics the new Nike Mag Sneakers and researching about Hippos and writing book reviews!

Why was I learning these things?

I was learning about Nike Mag because we wrote about it on the day that Marty McFly travelled to 2015 which is this year! We also learnt about cubism because it was a different type of art to what we usually do and it interprets artists feeling! We learnt about Percentage and Decimals because then we would know how to work out money like if we needed to find the percentage for something.

What am I pleased about?

I am pleased about all the progress I’ve made since last year and I am pleased about how much I’ve learnt this year! I am pleased with my GLOSS test scores and my STAR reading test scores this year! I am also pleased with all the things that we have done this year like making bridges, making marbles and making a shared lunch type of thing using our egg experiments!

How is that learning going to help me?

Well, the math about percentage and decimals and GST is going to help me in life, moneywise! It will help me work out math problems in life like mortgage and bills!

Google Cardboard

What is Google Cardboard?

Google Cardboard is an invention made by google. It is made out of cardboard and was made to make a phone screen specifically an android screen become virtual and 3D. Google Cardboard is a cardboard version of goggles that have lenses which make it seem as if you are in that environment with all its surroundings.

How does it work?

Google Cardboard works like glasses except you hold it up to your eyes. You put your android phone in the slot that opens and is held with the velcro. You open the Google Cardboard app or open a photo on your phone and let the glasses do the rest. If you open the app and try to select,  you  use the magnet on the left side of the glasses, pull it down then release. How? Well google has very intelligent application to add this accessory.  By releasing the magnet on the outside it clicks the magnet on the inside which is at the top.  When a click sound is heard on the phone it thereby letting you select whatever you want.

What is it made out of?

Google Cardboard is well made out of Cardboard. Although there are other parts such as the lens and the magnets and the velcro on top, it is a ready made invention which you fold up and there you have it, your very own Google Cardboard.

Letters to Chocolate Companies

Hi Hershey Company Director,

I absolutely adore your delicious chocolate.  but recently I have explored deeper into the matter of chocolate and found that your company has been connected to the matter of child labour! I found on a youtube video, that your company has used children to gather the cocoa nibs that you put in your products, so therefore you have committed a crime towards children.

I hope you understand my point of view because traffickers are just taking children from all over west Africa and keeping them in the Ivory Coast to gather your cocoa nibs. One other important thing to remember is that we all were once kids too, would you have liked to be taken away from your family and forced to work while a hundred miles away from your home? This youtube video showed me the truth about our chocolate, but I hope that you will change your ways! Here is the link to the video:

Her eyes glow in the night and are yellow to match with her horns, and a long purple tail and little black eyelashes and eyebrows. She has four legs and sharp claws for self defense.
