My speech term 3

My Speech

Title:  Why art is important

WALT: write a speech

Remember to:

• followed the hamburger technique
• check that message/information/story is clear
• a have ending that is effective & finishes off the speech
• write my ideas in a logical order
• check my speech is suited to my target audience
• write my speech in my words

Imagine a place where everything is gray, bland and colourless, staring at a grey wall at home, at hallways everywhere. That’s how the world will be without art. Hi I’m Valerie I’m here to tell you why art is so important to me.

Art inspires people by showing a message in an understandable way. Art makes you think about Reduce ,Reuse, Recycle more or to go against bullying and cyberbullying. Why should be think about these? Peoples feelings matter too, yes you’re lucky it’s not you but how would you like it if you were the one being bullied? And littering the environment would cause global warming which is dangerous for the world and us.

Another reason is Art helps people understand what’s going on in the world. Before TV art was used to tell stories. In the stone age they used to draw on the cave walls to tell other people stories and what’s going on in their lives. In times of war Art was used to send a message to your enemies or your loved ones. Without it we wouldn’t know what the people back then did as all the paintings from that time are a records of how life was lived. A famous artist and inventor called Da Vinci sketched things to design them and to think about how it will work. Without art these inventions would never been made.

You can express your feelings through Art like when you’re angry you can sketch something then throw it out afterwards. Art expands your imagination to see the world from a different dimension or perspective. Everything needs colour or our life could be very dull.  Art is everything, it makes people around us happy because of the bright, vivid colours, it’s beautiful and peaceful to look at.

The best part is you don’t have to be good at it! Sure you can draw and have fun with it and the more you draw the better you’ll get. It doesn’t have to be pretty as long as some people can understand it, kids and adults of all age can draw, just let your imagination run wild!

This is just a few of the many reason why art is important to me. I can’t imagine a world without art in it and I am so glad I don't have to. One piece of advice for you today is slow down and take a good look around you at all the amazing art that is in our lives. You won’t regret it.

Cuddly toy sent to space!

Cuddly Toy Lost in Space

April 12, 2016

A group of school children are searching for a toy dog which went missing after they launched it into space.

As part of a science project, the pupils from a school in Lancashire used a giant helium balloon to see if they could send Sam the Dog, a cuddly toy, to the edge of space.

They strapped Sam onto his spacecraft, along with a GPS tracker and a GoPro camera to capture the action.

The ‘launch’ was successful. Sam rose to a height of about 25km.

However, the problems began during his descent. The balloon popped and Sam’s spacecraft plummeted to Earth, landing over 50km away from the launchpad. The GPS and camera were there, but Sam was nowhere to be seen.

Now, the school has mounted a campaign to find the dog.

Twitter users are being urged to take part in the #FindSam hashtag as the search goes on.

This is weird who would send a cuddly toy into space? XD

Worlds longest pizza!

World longest pizza

May 25, 2016

Italian chefs have made the world longest pizza measuring a whooping 1,853.88 metres long.

The pizza was made in Naples by a team of around 400 chefs.

The 400-person team worked for 11 hours to work with 2000kg of flour.

The pizza include 1,600 kg of tomatoes, 2,000 kg of fiordilatte cheese and 200 litres of olive oil – all of which was sourced from local suppliers in the Campania region, ‘the home of pizza’.

The pizza bettered the old record by more than 400m after it was fed through a wood-burning oven.

Guinness measured and certified the record.

Here's a video for it

Child hacker got paid $10,000

Facebook pays child hacker $10,000

May 10, 2016

A 10-year-old Finnish boy received $10,000 from Facebook for finding and reporting a security flaw he discovered on its photo- and video-sharing service Instagram.

However, the young hacker is three years shy of the age required to open an account on Facebook, he can’t even share the good news.

Jani found a way to delete comments posted under images on other people’s accounts on Instagram. He said that he could delete anyone’s comments, even those of pop star Justin Bieber.

It’s not unusual for Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft, and others to give hackers money to help their internal teams identify and fix potential security problems.

Jani is among about 800 hackers who collectively have earned $4.3 million since 2011 through Facebook’s bounty program.

The Finn is also the youngest Facebook hacker, beating out a 13-year-old for the title, and one of the highest paid by the company.

This is unbelievable and I think he got a world record of 

the youngest and highest paid child hacker...Lucky huh?

Spot the mistake

Can you spot the mistake?

May 5, 2016

Can you spot the mistake?

The latest one to get people thinking doesn’t necessarily require maths skills or lateral thinking, but is a simple test of your observation skills.

You’re told there is a mistake and asked to identify it. You probably won’t notice it immediately, but once you do… you’ll be kicking yourself.

Give yourself only 5 to 10 seconds ……

Most people will immediately look at the multi-coloured numbers to see if that’s where the mistake is.

How quickly did you see it?

We are learning about copy right and how to use pictures that are labeled for reuse.

Hover boards.

Company releases hoverboard

October 28, 2014

The hoverboard is here!

If you’ve ever seen Back to the Future 2, then you will remember the flying skateboard which the main character, Marty McFly, uses to fly through the air. Well you don’t need to wait for the future, because a company in California has created a real-life hoverboard.

There is no air used to lift the board, instead the company has used special magnetic technology to keep the board off the ground. In the future this technology may also be used in earthquakes and floods to lift buildings out of harms way!

Check out the video below.

RACE RELATIONS DAY!Yay.;3

<img src="https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1HIDdJX65MWFU2wdu30KsQeVAkGMqDJ25hoZQp1aqmao/pub?w=480&amp;h=360">

Today was Race Relations Day.Her are some posters we made in google drawing.

Describing some colours.

WALT: Describe We are using descriptive language to describe colours. Think about including:  senses, adjectives and verbs. Based on the book:  The Black Book of Colours by Menena Cottin & Rosana Faria

An example from the book:  Red

“Red is sour like unripe strawberries and as sweet as watermelon.  It hurts when he finds it on his scraped knee.”

Your turn!  Choose FIVE colours to describe.

Colour 1:Green.

Green is like the shiny unripe apple that we could eat. The blades of green grass tickling your feet. The leaves from the tree green and healthy.

Colour 2:Blue.

The blue sea lapping at your feet. The nice blue sky fine as always. The sweet blueberries, sweet as sugar.

Colour 3:Yellow.

The golden yellow petals of the sunflower shining in the sun.The yellow minion walking past you.The golden sun shining brightly.

Colour 4:White.

The snow white as always.The clouds gliding past you casting a shadow on you.The paper,white when not used.

Colour 5:Pink.

Pink cherry trees blossoming.The pink bubblegum flavoured cotton candy sweet as six table spoons of brown sugar.The sunset beautiful in the pink sky.

Lynx facts

Eurasian Lynx Facts!

Here at National Geographic Kids, we're fascinated by our planet's wild cats! Join us we discover ten facts about the Eurasian lynx...

1) The Eurasian lynx is one of the widest ranging cats in the world and can be found in the forests of western Europe, Russia and central Asia.

2) These fur-ocious felines are the largest of the lynx species, and the third largest predator in Europe after the brown bear and the wolf.

3) These incredible cats are strict carnivores, feeding mostly on ungulates (hoofed mammals) such as deer. When food is scarce they also eat smaller prey like hares, foxes and rabbits.

4) The Eurasian lynx can be considered quite a secretive creature. The sounds it makes are very low and often not heard, and their presence in an area can go unnoticed for years!

5) Come meal time, the Eurasian lynx stalks its prey from the cover of thick vegetation. It then pounces on its unsuspecting lunch, delivering a fatal bite to the neck or snout.

6) The Eurasian lynx's distinctive features are its black tufts at the tips of its ears and a long white facial 'ruff'. It has grey, rusty or red fur which grows thicker in winter. Its coat is also patterned, almost always with dark spots.
7) Although they may hunt during the day (particularly when food is scarce), the Eurasian lynx is mainly nocturnal or crepuscular (active during dawn and dusk). They spend the day sleeping in dense vegetation. Zzzzzzzz.

8) The Eurasian lynx measures around 90-110cm in length, and around 60 -70cm in height.

9) In the wild, the Eurasian lynx can survive up to 17 years. Captive Eurasian lynx in sanctuaries have been known to live to up to 24 years.

10) In Europe, the Eurasian lynx was once on the brink of extinction, with numbers falling to around 700 between 1930 and 1950. The good news is that conservation work has allowed populations to bounce - or pounce! - back, with numbers increasing 10-fold over the past 50 years. Yey! Work still needs to be done though, gang, as illegal hunting and habitat loss still pose a threat to these beautiful cats.

using feelings  

Ruffle ruffle ruffle I crept as silently as a wolf hehehe!He would never see me coming! I thought to myself as the spring breeze ruffled my mane, altho on second thought this just seems dumb.But I would not stop since I’ve gone this far.This is one of the big,fat,juicy giraffes mmm coming to think of it I can already taste his sweet juicy succulent flesh in my mouth.Then as fast as lightning I jumped of the stilts and onto his back “OUCH!” He screamed in pain “I got you now Jiffy!”I growled in triumph”What did I ever do to you?please let me go!”He pleaded”NEVER!hahaha!”I laughed out loud he tried to shake me of ,but I kept my grip tight and didn't let go.He started swaying here and there then “thump” I was feeling victorious.I dragged him off to my lair then began eating the game that I killed.
