Miss C's eye problem

This is the conversation between the doctor and Miss C.

Miss C: I've got an eye problem. What is wrong with my eye?

Doctor: Let's have a look. Oh.. How long have you had this for?

Miss C: From yesterday when I woke up.

Doctor: Does it hurt?

Miss C: No, it doesn't hurt.

Doctor: You've got the Subconjunctival Hemorrhage. It causes when a small blood vessel breaks underneath the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is a clear tissue that's covering the white part of the eye. The blood will be trapped there until it gets absorbed again by the tissues of your eye. It can be serious but not usually serious. You recently had a flu so that might had caused it.

Miss C: So do I have to do anything?

Doctor: No but do not rub your eye. Just leave it for a week and it will go away, but if it gets worse come back.

Miss C: Thank you doctor!

200 word story

1. The first day of school, a love note, and a recipe with a significant mistake.

My first day of school was energetic, vibrant and vitalistic. I am going to tell you about my first day of school. So, on the first day of school I went to school, right? There was a step in the main entrance. A big step. There is always lots of people at that steps, they are always crowded in groups. It is very hard for me to get through those groups of people and also the steps are steep and I'm not that big, I'm small. Well I tried to get through those people. When I look up, sometimes I was able to see some familiar faces and on the step, there were a letter with a heart on it. I picked it up, and read it. Oh. It was a love letter. I don't know who made that love letter and who was it for, but I am keeping it under my pillow.

In the class we had to bake some cakes for our family. I was making a strawberry cake. I was keep mixing and made the cake with all my effort. I put it in the oven and waited. After all that waiting I got my cake out of the oven. But I suddenly realised that I forgot to put a strawberry in! So I had to quickly put the strawberry in the cake and gave it to my family.

Marble in a plastic jar

Marble in a plastic jar is a experiment that we did in the science lab. There were lots and lots of cool science experiments ready for us but this was my favourite out of all, because I like to do something with the marble and I am good at something to do with wrist snap. We did these experiment because this week is the national primary science week. This is how you do this experiment.

Equipment:
Marble
Plastic jar

Steps

1. Insert the marble inside the plastic jar.
2. Cover the open part of the plastic jar.
3. Place the plastic jar sideways.
4. Spin the marble and then spin upside down so your hand that's blocking the hole is facing the bottom.
4. Keep spinning upside down and try not to make the marble touch your hand.

Science behind
When you spin the marble you are creating a force and when you keep spinning it

Stereotype

Stereotype is what people think just by the people's (things) image that is showing (appearance). It also can be described as prejudice or bias. It is normally racism or sexual discrimination that causes the stereotypes. For example all the Indians will like the curries, girls are always smarter than boys or all the gangsters are black people and it is not true. These stereotypes causes serious problems cosmopolitanly. Lots of peoples are trying to get rid of the stereotypes but practically you can't really remove that stereotyped point of view. So people have to strive themselves.

The WIkigame

This morning our class had a go at doing the Wikigame which uses Wikipedia to play the game. I am going to explain how this game works. This game works like this. You have a goal and a topic every single game and you need to find that word with using the links in the article. You need to get less clicking the links because it is more likely to win if you've got less clicks. For example if I got a goal 'presidents' you need to try to find that word with using the links in wikipedia. You are competing with the other players around the world so you need to think quickly and wisely.

This is how it comes up before staring the game.

Here is the link for the game.

Estuary run

Our house is going to do the estuary run because there is cross country later in this term. I will explain how you do this run. You need your running shoes and be careful because it is going to be slippery, bumpy and look out for the water.

1. Run out to the gate and then turn left toward the Grace Road.

2. Keep running until the last speed bump and then cross the road.

3. Go out to the Fifteenth Ave and keep running until you get to Burrows Street.

4. Turn right at the Burrows Street then go into the estuary.

5. Keep following the estuary track and you will get to the Eighteenth Ave.

6. Run up the hill and you will find Tauranga Intermediate.

7. Go through the main gate and your estuary run is finished.

New reward system

From this term, our school started a new click card system. Every class and every person get a stars card and there are 40 clicks per card and your get a click every day. If you get a 40 click you get a band with your house colour and if you get 3 bands you are allowed to get a stars badge. If you're absent you don't get a click but if your are absent and at s2chool(eg. sports, music event etc) you get a click that day. If you got a reliever in your class, you get a click. When you get into trouble you first get a verbal warning. After that you get your name on the board and then get a cross beside your name when you keep behaving badly. Then you get a formal warning by Mrs Mils.

The other thing that our school is doing from this term is the new stars card system. It is just like a golden ticket but there is a new reward system. When you get a stars card from the teacher, go to the library, name them and then put it into the Rimu box. Every house hui Mrs Mils picks out the tickets for the vouchers. Every term Mrs Colvile will draw out one ticket each from each house then they will get a stars hoodie.
