Week 1 Term 4 Refection

This week we did explanations and I.C.T, for explanations this week we have been writing how to be a good friend and hyphens heres my writing of my explanations.

How to be a good friend

Being a good friend is very important in your friendship, so here's three examples of how to be a good friend.

Being loyal is important to your friend.

Being loyal is when you keep a secret with them, or you can tell the truth, You have their trust. Support friends with their ideas and sports, give them positive comments on their successes and cheer them on  the sports field. You give them your time and space, if they want to hang with their other friends you let them. Give them their space and let your friends enjoy doing their own thing.  When they get bullied you stick up for them at any time.

To respect your friend has different meanings.

You should accept them for who they are, you can't be selfish to them. Don't judge them for their looks and who they are. Do what you said you will do with them, when you make promises don't break them. Respect their property and their things, you should understand your friend as well and you can’t keep on dragging them to a sports club you go to, and force them to join.

Knowing your friend is better for your friendship.

To know your friend you have to know and like their hobbies, their favorite things like favorite color, food or there favorite songs and knowing what they dislike as well so if you pick a movie out and they don’t like it you have to know. Knowing your friend can affect your friendship in a good way and you will go far in your relationship with your friend.

People have different ways to explain what a good friend is, if you're respectful, loyal and if you know them, you will be a good friend.

Heres my hyphen explanation.

For I.C.T we had a teacher to come in and we learned about trolls on the internet and we had to explain what they are and who do deal with them heres my one.

Week 8 Reflection

This week we have been working on maths and writing.
This week for writing we have been learning about the water cycle and we had to show our understanding about it heres my example about the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE

Why does the water Evaporation?

Heats up lakes and rivers from sun and it turns it into steam and vapor, the steam or vapor leaves the lake or rivers and it goes into the air.

Condensation changes gas  into liquid.

Condensation Takes the vapor from the water and it starts to get cold in the air and it changes back into liquid and it forms into clouds.

Precipitation appears when there is so much water.

That the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds cannot hold the water anymore and it falls back into earth and it makes rain, hail or snow.

Collection is when water falls back into earth like precipitation.

It can fall back into the ocean, lakes and rivers or it can end up on land and it soak into the ground like grass and it can become underground water and the cycle starts all over again.

And for Maths I have been working on nets and Im making a city out of nets.
