St John's at Rosebank School

We had  hands on actives with St Johns people. We learnt lots of things about taking care of the people in an emergency.

Before we could help that person we need to look for any dangers like broken glass, slippery surfaces, sharp objects, etc
Next we look for a response. See if he/she can respond to our call 
Then call 111 and tell the ambulance people the address of where the unconscious person is and tell his/her condition.
Lift his/her chin so their airway is clear.
Check if the person is breathing or not.


If someone has a cut in their hand this is what we have to do:
Lift the hand up and plug the cloth where the bleeding is. Then get a bandage and wrap it around the wrist and the hand until the bandage is done.
 Make sure that your fingers can't come out.

Extinction of Tigers


Tigers are almost extinct because of us. Tigers prefer to live in Jungles or forest. 3 subspecies are already extinct.

There are 2 main reasons why Tigers are disappearing. Firstly, their territories are getting chopped down to build more farming land and cities and leaving the tigers homeless and starving. Another reason is because of poaching. Poaching is an illegal hunting of animals which happens all the time.

Tigers get killed a lot for their fur to make coats, their eyes are used as goodluck charms and their bones are used for chinese medicine.
Let's not kill tigers for our pleasure but leave them alone so they can live like us.

Human Art - Mathematics Week


Room 14's Human Art

We had a human art challenge.
Divide the class into groups of 8 and each student has a number from 1 to 4.

Your number corresponds to your action/shape:
e.g.
Number 1: Stand like a solider

Number 2: Stand like a star

Number 3: Stand with a triangle.

Number 4:Stand like a circle.

Solve the problem : What would be the 40th shape?
It is a star. We had so much fun with human art.

The Tuck Shop Prize Winners




 Tuck Shop
 Prize






On Friday 1 of August there was a new tuck shop menu. It was a day special for the food carnival. The prices were reduced so more students could order food. Whatever class that had the most lunch orders would win a prize. Room 14 has the highest number of lunch orders and we WON.
When we found out we had won it was very exciting. We had a photo with the lunch from the company that supplied us with the lunch orders.
We opened all the prizes and we got Uno stacko, Hedbandz, Ker Plunk and Parrot Pile Up. It also came with some balloons and lollypops. Room14 is enjoying all the games.

Poems

I Rode a Roller Coaster

I rode a roller coaster
It was 120,000 meters long.

It took 10 hours
And reached up to the sky
So we wore helmets to protect.

When the ride was over
My stomach felt like jelly
Wobbling all over from all the corners.

As I got out I was glad to be on ground
Because that was the scariest ride.

When can I go again?

            Licking 100 year old snail                                                                                                 
I did dare to lick a snail 
it tasted like rotten vomit.
 It had a piece of chips. 
The snail was orange and green.
                     When I licked the snail it cried hard-core.                                  
I then thought of vomiting. 
The snail then cried and cracked its shell.
White things started to
come out.
               Then finally my mouth tasted like rotten ginger and garlic mixed together.
I then went for another taste it tasted the same but with manure.

Death by chocolate

Once we were going to a chocolate café.
I just couldn't wait because of all the yummy things we were going to taste.

I had been there before and I was bursting with excitement.
All the things I could eat I just couldn't imagine how it would be!

When we reached the mall, we were lost like we were in the middle of nowhere.
When we finally found the café, all the chocolate around me,
It was like chocolate heaven.
We got chocolate slices, chocolate drinks and chocolates
Almost everything!

We really enjoyed it .
My sister
Stopped eating half way, because it was too much chocolate.
When we got out we were so full.
We couldn't eat another single piece of chocolate.
We really would love to do it again.

So that was the Death by chocolate!

First ideas about Adaptation




Sanitarium




Creating our names with fruits and veges

At Eat your Words workshop we had to create our own name with veges and fruit. The Sanitarium people gave us a chopping board and a knife. Jemma gave us instructions. Jemma said to us we had to create our name with fruits and veges. Then we started creating our names with the fruits and veges. I felt really excited when I first put my first letter down. I used celery, mandarin peel, kiwi, banana skin and a sliced carrot.  When we finished Jemma took pictures of our names. Jemma said we could take the veges and fruits from our names and cook it but none of us wanted so we ate them. At the end it was fantastic and I really enjoyed.
