Washoe the Chimp


Self defence

The large tree

This tree measures up to 33.12 meters This is a close up version

This is the top of it 

This is me with the tree
This tree I planted when I was five and it was only very little. It is kind of deformed because it splits off in the middle into two parts but the split has an ants nest in it. I play on it all the time. My mum put a swing on it a couple of years ago but it broke so I just climb it and sit on a fat trunk. My mum thinks it is the same age as me but she is wrong. I love this tree so much. The photos are kinda bad because of the angle of the shot. I didn't take lots of photos. Sorry about that. I measure this tree by taking a photo of me and then cropped it duplicated it and then put the same photos up until it reached the top of the tree.

Describe Someone In Our Class

Her hair is brown and brown eyes. This person is tall and has huge hands. She is kind and very smart in writing and reading. She is friendly but she is not that social. Her hair is not that long. She is quiet but when you get to know her she is very loud. She loves the Internet and it is like her husband. She knows many things but is always late in doing things. She wears a headband and she is a very nice person. Her fave colour is blue and she loves games and fizzy drinks. She catches a bus and she loves school at times. The fringe she has is huge and she hates running. She is a close friend. She can be very weird when you have known her for so long.

Morning Blog Post

Some boys from our school yesterday ran off with some scooters. They ran off and some people from our class went and looked for them with Mr Scholes. They stole a red scooter and two white ones from the bike shed behind the school by the estuary. They were being n00bs by doing it and they pulled the fingers at Mr Scholes when he found them back at school. These boys from our class went on a huge adventure to find these boys and it was funny when they told the story. I think the boys that stole the scooters didn't want to stay at school so they just wagged but it was quite a bad ending. I hope the scooters that are still lost are found because they are very expensive scooters. I hope they get caught because that is mean what they did and they were so stupid.

Inferencing

Statement: Felila was exhausted
Inference: Her breathing was heavy and she was walking slowly. She was tired and she couldn't answer anything right on the spot, she took longer than usual.

Statement: Russell was hungry
Inference: He was unfocused. His body was lacking energy. He needed something to power him up for sport after school. He needed something because he was grumbling and in pain. He had to have something but he had nothing at home that morning for him.

Statement: Troy was lying (not telling the truth)
Inference: He knew he wasn't doing the right thing. His mind was just overpowering. He couldn't say it because if he did he would get in even more trouble than he is at the moment.

Inferences

Statement Caine was addicted to computer gaming.
Inference: The time he spent staring at his computer was horrifying. His eyes would be damaged from the colours of the screen. His mind would think real life would be a video game so he can do what he wants. The bill was through the roof and they wouldn't be able to pay it. 

Statement: Maia felt sick.
Inference: The pain was overpowering her body. Her chest was aching to the extent where she couldn't go anywhere. Her mind must have been in a blank so she could not think.

Statement: Josh was worried about being late for school.
Inference: I don't want to get in trouble. I need to hurry up, come on legs walk faster. She will be angry and I want to start with everybody else.

Inferring

 Statement: Matthew was lonely: 
Inference: He would be by himself.  No one would speak to him or see him. He had no friends and he would always sit in a spot by himself.  The darkness would over power him. His body is sagging. Never talking people didn't know if he could talk or not.

Statement: Kyle was excited about maths:
Inference: As soon as maths time was coming up he turned his frown upside down and he couldn't stop screaming with joy. His smile lit up the whole room and he pulled out his equipment. The joy coming out of him could run a town with power for a week.

Statement: Connor was terrified of answering the phone:
Inference: His mind was not ready to answer to a stranger that was on the other end. He started to cry and get goosebumps. Answering it became easier and less terrifying so he didn't hate it

Spaghetti on Toast

Daniel Tammet

Daniel Tammet is a man that has memorised over 20000 numbers of pi with no mistakes. He recited 22,514 decimal places of pie. He is called a savant. Savants are very brainy in 1-2 things. He is autistic. He can memorise things very well and say them forward but then say them backwards. There is only 52 true savants in the world.  He is one of the 50 or so true Savants in this world being very brainy.  His memory is amazing. He is 34 born 1979 on January 31. He can memorise a long line of digits and repeat them with no mistakes which I think is very cool. They call Daniel the brain man because of his very smart brain. I want to be like him because he is so smart.  Normally people who are autistic can't look after themselves but are very good at one thing. He knows more than 10 languages which must be so hard. He learnt Icelandic on only 2 weeks which is very impressive.

Morning Blog post

Over the last 2 days we have had a reliever called Miss Verster. She was here because Mrs Campbell  hurt her back. She was a very fun teacher but she knew when to get serious. When we were naughty she had consequences for us. In free time we got to colour in pictures, do work sheets and make cubes. I like making a dodecahedron. She played music but it was only soft songs so we had something to inspire us. I liked the colouring in pages she made for us. I did the lizard in highlighter and a goanna in pencil. She was a very kind teacher when we were nice to her. We did quizzes but they were easy. When she played the music it was only played when we were good and if we became loud she turned it off.

Her accent was a bit annoying but I managed to cope. She thought most of the students were well behaved. There were only about 4 boys that were naughty. I think they were just taking advantage of the reliever because she hasn't been in our class very long. If we were naughty she had a worksheet for us if we were being naughty. I didn't get it because I was being very well behaved apparently. I was always quiet and some of us helped her out with what to do for the day. I loved colouring the shark because of the patterns on it. She was a quiet teacher but when she had to be loud to calm us down she did. I want her more often as a reliever teacher instead of Mrs Venter because she is actually nice and Mrs Venter is a mean old grumpy lady.

Bullying

Statement-  My experience of bullying at school:

 At primary I was bullied for being the smallest in the school. I was year 6 and the year 1 kids were taller than me when we had our measurement test. There was one kid called Iziah that bullied me everyday because he was taller then me and he was year 2. This happened all through year 5 and 6 but one day it stopped. I told this particular boy if he bullied me I would get mr Inder our principal involved. When I told him that it spread around like head lice. No one bullied me because they were afraid what mr Inder would do. I thought some people were afraid of me because they knew what I could do.


Some people started to bully other people because they were small but that sucked. I decided to tell my principal and he dealt with it. He said anyone that bullies people because they are small or coloured will be suspended for a week and have a meeting with me.

I think it sucks that people are bullying because some people are jealous.  All it is is jealousy because they are better than them. A bully should be home schooled so he wouldn't bully anyone. Bullies are just jealous of the people that they bully which I think is very stupid. Don't be jealous and be like them. Just be yourself and you will have fun.

Annoying things

Something that annoys me.

It annoys me that I have a older sister Victoria that bosses me around all the time because she thinks that I need special help. She says since that she is older than me she has more control over me but she doesn't. My mum says she can't boss me around because I will go mental at her. She is really annoying and my mum said that she needs to be normal. My dad always says she is annoying and that she needs to get her attitude sorted out because she always backchat's to my mum. She tells me that I don't deserve to be in the family because I am so stupid. She always does nothing and tells me that she does everything. My parents are sick of her being so naughty and they want her to go to military school so she could be straightened out. She hates doing any work she so hides out in her room until jobs are done. Sometimes she can be alright but that is like once in two months. My dad never talks to her because she can be so annoying and she always asks him for money to go out.

Another thing that annoys me is when people die when being sick. They shouldn't die in pain and under so many pills and machines. You should die in peace and not in pain. R.I.P means rest in peace but you can't if you are in pain. If you are  in pain you should be in the comfort of your own home. Cancer is the worst. You are put under chemotherapy and that can make you worse and you are always so tired.

Languages

In class we have started to learn Languages on Monday and Wednesday in block 3. Some people go to Miss Mills and the other people go to Ms Campbell. Ms Campbell does Mandarin and Miss Mills  does sign language. I am doing mandarin and it is very fun. I have done 2 lessons and I have learnt more then I have expected. I want to carry one at college and do Mandarin but I don't think they have it. I am learning Pinyin and Hanzi. Pinyin is awesome. There are 4 different tones in Mandarin. The tones are easy and fun to learn. I like all tones but I love the 3 tone the most. The number 4 is bad luck and the number 8 is good luck. Mandarin is a cool Language because there are so many different words that are hard to pronounce.
