School uniforms must be mandatory
I think that school uniforms shouldn't be mandatory, they shouldn't be mandatory because they aren't really that comfortable to wear and they are a bit expensive. Them not being mandatory is better in my opinion because clothing is a way of expressing ourselves. It would be a bit harder to pick out an outfit every day but I'd rather be comfortable in my own clothes. I just personally just don't like them so I think school uniforms shouldn't be mandatory.
Elephants are the greatest animal of all
Are Elephants are the greatest animal of all? Elephants are great animals but I personally disagree with this one just because, yes they are great but they are not the "greatest animal of all time".
I think that there are greater animals like Pandas but that doesn't mean Elephants aren't great. There are just so many animals to pick just one that is the greatest one of them all. At the end of the day not everyone likes the same animal, for some people Elephants are the greatest animals of all time but for someone like me, I think that there are other animals that are greater.
On Tuesday we dissected a rat, the rat was albino so there wasn't any pigmentation meaning the skin and the rest of its body was white apart from the eyes because it was red.
The main reason why we did the dissection was to identity its organs, the organs that we saw were its heart, lungs, long intestines, small intestines, stomach and when we were opening it up we saw the rib cage.
The first thing that we did was cut open the chest, then we carefully used the scissors to cut downwards without puncturing any of the organs. We were having a bit of trouble cutting it open because the arms wouldn't stay in place so we pinned them down. We made sure that we didn't cut open the large intestine which has all its faeces.
After that, we just looked at its organs like the small intestine which was a lot longer than I thought it would be. We also took pictures but I won't be showing them for obvious reasons.
When we were finished we wrapped the rat with newspaper then wiped down the tables and washed our hands even though we were wearing gloves.
I personally didn't enjoy it that much but I don't really mind doing it again
Term 1 for art we have been learning how to paint and the different techniques, we have also been learning about colours, tones, contrast and competition etc. We learnt all of these to create our painting. First, we had to plan it out so we drew thumbnail sketches. Our painting has to have Pacifica and Manga incorporated into it. Here is my painting and other stuff we did during Art.
Topic: School holiday should only be one week long.
Should school holidays only be one week long? I personally disagree with this because school is so long and we need more break. It should be longer than one week because we need to reset and take care of our well-being because people could be stressed from school.
It should be longer because for some people that is the only time that they can spend time with their parents or the people that they are visiting for the school holidays. One week for a school break is not enough because we need to clear our brain and not focus on school for once, we also sometimes want to sleep in because we have to wake up early for school all the time.
For the first class of the term, we had a comprehension task, which was to read a book and do the activity card. The book that I chose is Going, going and gone. The activity is Prefixes That Form Opposites.
I have to write down other words that use the following prefixes to form opposites.
Dis- Disadvantage - Advantage
In- Informal- Formal
Il- Illegal - Legal
Im- Impossible - Possible
Ir- Iresponsible- Respondsible
Un- Unlikely- Likely
