Graduation was such a blast, I got to catch up with my friends and parting until 7:00pm, there were also delicious party food that we got to eat, I saw students smile while dancing, there were joy and laughter throughout the room, I felt a little bit sad because I knew that next year we will be divide from each other. When it reached 7:00pm all the parents came rushing in while guided by the children. When it was time for our graduation we all sit down to begin, we had some important visitors that came and gave out awards for some students. After, each students in a class was called out one by one to receive there certificate while their peers cheered them on. A visitor from Werribee Primary School came to our school to give a scholarship to three students when He called out the names I was surprised to hear my name called out, while I walked to the stage my friends and the whole of year 6 cheered me on. I was so excited to receive a scholarship, my 2 friends Jake and Patrick was also rewarded a scholarship. The candle ceremony was near so we all got in position, Sadness overruns my body because some of these people I will never see again next year. After all the candles was lit Miss Scarrott counted down from three and we all blew out the fire from the candle. Finally I say goodbye to my friends and teachers before I went home. This night will forever be in my memory.

Plus
Getting to be in 6k and being taught by Miss Scarrott because she is a fun and talented teacher. I got to learn how to calculate different types of fractions and I also learnt how to calculate an angle with a protractor.
Minus
Some people being loud and disrespectful when other teachers are in our class.
Interesting
When we had our diverse connections because we got to learn something new from our Asian country and comparing them with Australia, our Asian country was Kazakhstan, we had lots of fun doing our work and when we needed help Miss Scarrott was always there to help us with our work.

Our Fallen Brothers
We lay here silent and we hear the bombs explode,
Even when the sun dies we could still hear the fireflies,
We could hear cries and moaning throughout the night,
And foreign languages are heard every night,
In the morning gunshots covered the entire field,
Bullets and smoke flew towards on us,
We will show no mercy to our foe,
To end this war, it is our goal,
Our fallen brothers now rest in Flanders field,
For their duty on Earth has now come to an end,
Now rest peacefully to all my fallen brothers,
You will be remembered by all the others.

Passion Project plan
For my Passion Project I have decided to do paper planes, I am going to teach the class everything about paper planes. I am looking forward to this lesson and teaching the class something new.
I am going to teach the class by firstly teaching them the history and the origins of the paper plane, then I will tell them 2 or 3 facts about paper planes to amaze their minds, then I will show them how to make a simple dart plane and teach them the best way to fold a paper plane and after they can decorate their paper planes any way they want. If we have time at the end we will have a dart plane competition to see how long their dart can go. The materials for my lessons are A4 piece of paper.
The reason I am teaching the class about paper plane is that they can have a better understanding about the history and the origins of the paper plane.

My passion project idea.
For my passion project I have decided to work on paper planes. The questions I am researching on aeroplanes are who first invented the paper plane? , how do paper planes fly? And what is paper planes used for.
The idea I had about teaching the class is to first teach them about the history and origins of paper planes. Then I would place down on a table different kind of paper planes design on how to make them and they would choose from themselves which design they want to make. At the end, there will be a whole class competition on how far they can glide there paper planes.
While on the internet I have found interesting facts about paper planes, Scientist, engineers and students use paper planes to study aerodynamics, the world’s largest paper plane was built by students and employees of the Braunschweig institute of technology in Germany in 2013. it had a wing span of almost 60 feet wide and over 50 pounds.

This term 3 and term 4 the Year 6 was learning about catapult and creativity, they created their own catapult and designed them. We used one note for our catapult project, we had a supply of 15 icy pole sticks, 1.5m of sticky tape/ masking tape, 1 plastic spoon, 2 rubber bands, 1 mini marshmallow and a protractor. Our goal was to get our projectile to land 2.5m and not 3+m.
I learnt that a square base is a great choice for a catapult and a 45 degree angle is great way to launch your projectile because it won’t go flying upwards but it will fly forwards. For our test we had to launch our catapult 10 times because each time we get different measurement, we get different measurement each time because of how the way we launch it. Our first test we got an average of 2.71m and for our second test we got an average of 2.25m. For our catapult we needed more power so we pulled down the plastic spoon down more and pulled up the rubber band to the neck of the plastic spoon so we could launch our projectile further.
I learned many facts about catapults when we worked on the catapult project, here are some facts. Various types of catapults were used by the Romans, Greeks and the Chinese and the Trebuchet is the oldest type of catapult invented by the Chinese and the Middle East. The Ballista catapult was invented by the Greeks but the Romans took the design and improved on it and catapults were introduced in Europe in the Middle Ages.
I think me and my partner (Tarkyn) worked good but I think we could do better, there were some problems and our teamwork wasn’t that great but near the end we worked very well by communicating well.

disasters downunder
I have learnt a lot in the disasters down under unit ,when we started our first disasters lesson I didn’t know anything about tsunamis our other disasters but know I found out a lot about tsunamis, a tsunami is caused by two tectonics plates colliding in the depths of the ocean and they mainly occur in the pacific ring of fire where all the tectonic plates meet together and where there are lots of volcanic eruption.And I also know that science has helped society deal with tsunamis by creating radar systems to help us detect a tsunami and built warning systems to help us prepare for the unthinkable.I also know that the word tsunami originated from Japan meaning harbour wave.I also learnt something new about bushfires and that the N.T may be the hottest place but they don’t have much bushfires because of the huminity in the are.
This is my explanation text that I have completed for the disasters down under, I am very happy to share my work and what I have improved. I hope you learn something about Tsunamis when you read it.
Why Is a Tsunami Dangerous?
What Is a Tsunami?
A tsunami, a Japanese word for harbour wave is a massive wave with the height of 3 or 6 meters and the speed of 500 miles per hour.
What Causes a Tsunami?
A tsunami is produced by 2 tectonic plates colliding heavily together in the depths of the ocean, or the other cause of a tsunami is an earthquake and a volcanic eruption.
Where Do Tsunami Occur?
Tsunami occur in any major body of water and they mostly occur in the Pacific Ocean where there are many numbers of undersea earthquake.
What Damage Does It Cause?
When a tsunami reaches shore it will keep advancing until it stops, nothing stands between the tsunami and its target. It will destroy rapidly through everything that stands in its path, it will demolish houses, transports, and important buildings.
Is There Any Warning To a Tsunami?
Many coastal areas have tsunami warnings systems place, if any coastguards in the area that have reported a tsunami coming their way they will sound an alarm and they will advise people to leave the area or get to high ground.
How Do You Escape a Tsunami?
To escape a tsunami you must first prepare a disaster plan on what to do or what is right or wrong thing to do, and you must also prepare these list of important items that you will need,
- Canned food + can opener
- Bottled water
- Battery operated radio and spare battery.
- Water purifying tablets if you run out of water.
How Has science help society deal with tsunamis
Science has helped society deal with tsunamis by building radar systems to detect nearby tsunami, they have also built warning systems to warn us about the tsunami that is coming and help us prepare for the tsunami .The tsunami that struck Indonesia and killed 227,898 people was the worst tsunami in history because there were no warning systems in place for the people in the area to be warned. Knowing from their mistakes there are know many tsunami warning systems that area.
Who Helps Out After a Tsunami?
When a tsunami ends many people will help rebuild their town, people and community, those people are volunteers, fire department, police and the army.
Once again a tsunami is violent, rough and relentless, so do your best to stay safe and stay alive, and listen to the radio or TV for additional information.

+ and – for term 3
Term 3 was an fun and a fantastic term I had more + than -.The + side was having the disasters down under project we have to research about our own disasters, I also learnt many interesting things about tsunamis, like what causes it and where does it mainly occur and the best part was when we had our disasters down under night . I also like being taught fractions in maths, now I know many things about fraction that I’ve been taught like a fraction is part of a whole and the numerator is the number of parts you have and the denominator is the whole and you can subtract fractions, multiply them and divide them and equivalent fraction means the same for example 4/8 = 2/4= ½. And they are 3 types of fractions there is the proper fraction and a improper fractions and a mixed fraction, the proper fractions is where the numerator is smaller than the denominator and a improper fraction is where a numerator is bigger than the denominator and to work out a improper fraction and get a mixed number you must divide the number by the denominator, write down the whole number answer and then write down any remainder above the denominator. The –side is that when other teacher has us we start to change our attitude a little bit.
