The book I'm reading is House of Karls by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. The chapter is called 60 planets to live on. It is about the planets, there atmosphere and the theories behind them. It also talks about the different universes and the differences between the others and ours.

** Writing ** :

This week we have been learning about a new strategy called ‘Role On the Wall.’ Choose a character from a book you have been reading and write a ‘Role on the Wall’ for that character. Draw a picture of your character. On the inside write about them, What they are like, feelings, values etc. On the outside, write about what affects the character, outside influences, questions etc. Use the picture of Paddington to help you. If your typing it on the wiki, you could write it in two lists or do it on paper, take a photo and upload it.

In Literacy, we have been developing a Visual Literacy Metalanguage. We have been learning about the Field (What is happening? Who is there? What is the text about?), Tenor (Who is participating? What are the relationships of those involved?) and Mode (How is the message created? How is the text constructed?) Look at the following image and make some notes on these aspects of visual literacy.



__The Field__
 * Magpie is on Dog's back as he is running and Fox is starring at them.
 * There is Magpie, Dog and Fox.
 * Dog runs with Magpie on his back all the time and Fox comes in and Magpie trembles.

__The Tenor__
 * Participating is Dog, Magpie and Fox.
 * Dog and Magpie are Friends. Fox is alone.

__The Mode__
 * The message is created through the colours of Fox and the background. The face of Dog shows happiness between him and Magpie.
 * Using less information in the sentences so the reader uses the pictures to give them information.

WRITING

Create a poster to persuade (encourage or convince) someone to be more sustainable by recycling more in their home.

Remember to use STRONG persuasive language - You must recycle because Give reasons for why recycling is important - give evidence and examples to support your ideas. Include the impact that recycling has on the environment. You might like to give examples - What might happen to the environment if you recycle or what might happen if you don't recycle. Make you poster appealing and engaging. Remember to 'HOOK" the reader in. You want to encourage them to help the environment!

If you are doing your homework on the wiki, you could just type the information that you would include in your poster. You could experiment with different fonts and colours. If you're really talented with technology, you could add pictures that relate to recycling or you could create your poster on paper and take a photo of it and upload it to the wiki. If you are doing your homework in a book, you could set in out any way you like. You can use different colours too, just no textas, pencil or crayons only.

Talk to your parents and older family members about your family's cultural background. What country or countries did your family come from? If your family came from overseas, when did they come to Australia?

My Mum's dad came to Australia in 1952 from Italy with his parents when he was 3 years old and her mother was born here but came from Italian immigrant parents. My dad's family also came from Italy in the 50's but were older when they came, 5years and 16years old with their parents. Both my great grandparents were catholic but did not go to mass in the early years very often because they did not understand the language. Also they were farmers and had to look after their property and animals every day. They would rely on AUstralian friends to read letters for them and mostly learned the language by speaking, not writing. After my great grandparents were older and understood the language better they went more often to mass. Three of my grandparents went to school in Australia. Nonno Tony and Nonna Emma went to high school but Nonna Cathy left school in YEAR 5!!!! She was the oldest and had to stay home to help raise her 5 sisters and work on the farm growing tomatoes for the markets. My Nonno Tony did not like the farm life (he grew Pigs) and when he told his parents that he was going to be a real-estate agent they said WHAT!! They only understood that farming was a job that could make them money. They thought it was as easy as buy the pig, grow the pig and sell the pig. NO ENGLISH NEEDED. By Nonno Tony learning more about the language helped the family understand the language more. After that, his parents ran general stalls and Nonno Tony helped them but they were already good at keeping their costumers happy. __ Science __ This week, we have been looking at practical ways to help the environment.

There is a spelling error on each line and 10 commas missing.

Green waste is made up of garden waste, food scraps and wood waste. All green waste can be composted yet around 54% of all rubbish sent to landfills consist of green wast. Households can recycle their organic waste such as food scraps and garden clippings at home by using a composting heap or worm farm. In fact any thing which was once alive can be put into a worm farm. Things like meat and vegetable scraps material, string, paper, garden clippings, leaves and fruit scraps can all be composted. The benefit of recycleing organic waste is that it can be used to improve infertile soils. Compost added to soil can greatly improve soil affected by erosion, salinity and over farming. Brown organic waste can be turned into mulch for the garden. Mulching the garden reduce's water evaporation and saves about 75% of required watering. It also stops weeds invading the garden. For a country facing lower water levels,4 each year and with a focus on water consumption reduction mulching seams like an effective way to help provent both water usage and waste.

Enjoy some great computer facts and interesting information about these amazing devices which play such an important role in our modern day lives!

Early electronic computers, developed around the 1940s, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly different to the modern computers we use today, especially when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

Computers are programmed to carry out instructions. These instructions are usually very simple and require adding numbers together, moving data from one place to another etc.

A computer can include as little as a few instructions to up wards of millions of instructions depending on the complexity of the program. Modern applications such as word processors, web browsers and graphic editors take large teams of programmers a long time to complete.

A computers memory stores numbers in huge amounts of cells that are addressed and can be quickly accessed by the CPU to perform calculations. There are two main types of computer memory, ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). ROM contains pre-written software and data that the CPU can only read, while RAM can be accessed and written to at any time.

Computers are used to help link the world in the form of net works. Networked computers allow users to share and exchange data that is stored in different locations. Ewe may have heard of a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) which connects areas of various sizes. The Internet is a vast network of computers spanning the globe that allows users to access email, the World Wide Web and other applications.

Although we normally think of computers as the ones we use in our everyday lives to surf the web, right documents etc, small computers are also embedded into other things such as mobile phones toys microwaves and MP3 players. We use computers all the time, often without even knowing it. __ Science __
 * QUOTATIONS, QUOTATIONS. **


 * Setting the Scene ** : In 1876, a company called Western Union said that "The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. This device is of no use to us." Then in 1943, the chairman of IBM said "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Image if people listened to these quotes. What might a world with no telephones and only five computers be like? Explain how this might have a positive affect on the world. Give reasons for your ideas.

There would be no texting or talking on the phone so there would be a lot less teenage kids saying "just a minute mum, I've just got to text this last message to my friend." The five computers would only be used for NASA research and scientific research. The reasons this would be good for us is because there would be a lot less pollution and more kids would be spending more time with their family or outside paying a game of soccer or football.

Dere editor,

I am writing in reference to your article: 'Surgeon urges worldwide mobile ban' The westerner, 3/1/06

I applaud the good sense of surgeon Mr Tan for finally exposing the truth about mobile phones. It has

always been my belief that anything that is emitting radio waves should not be placed near our body at all let alone near our branes every day I am dumbfounded to see hordes of people young and old, with these minute machines attached to their heads. Have you not noticed that your ears are red and warm after lengthy conversations? Could it be that the electromagnetic radiation entering your body threw your ears? The statistics are proving that the incidents of brain cancers in the young and old is rising.

This alone should prevent people from reaching for their mobile phones (especially when a landline phone is close by and considerably cheaper). Not only are mobile phones menaces to our health they are financial pitfalls. The trend of young people being given mobile phones as presents from their parents is preposterous! Please explain what a nine year old has to say to his or her friend that is so important it is worth their parent spending a dollar per minute on it.

I urge all mobile phone usars to consider the repercussions of their next 'quick' mobile call!

1. What communication systems exist in the year 2050? 2. What communication systems of earlier times are still in place? For example, are emails and websites still used? 3. How did you arrive back in this time frame? 4. Why are you here?

I come from the future, the year 2050 actually. I've had a bit of a wonder around and I can see how much the world has changed more with the technology and stuff. The communication system is very different from now. The manmade satellites which you use for mobile phone reception and that type of stuff is now gone because scientist found out a way to use the Moon as a giant working satellite. The mobile phones walk themselves so radiation doesn't effect our brains or any other parts of your body. Don't wary in the future we still have emails but it's much more advanced to now, now you say what you want to send, the commuter types it up and automatically sends it. I got here by a special time machine that was invented by Bob Shawman and it works perfectly. The reason that I'm hear is because the government sent me to tell you about the amazing future and to tell you that everything is going to be alright.

He looked up, but even now he could not see the top of the big tree. It seemed to go on forever. He looked down. He couldn't see the dirty ground either. He was in a world of leaves and branches with no earth or blue sky in sight. The beast was below somewhere. He couldn't even hear it anymore. Billy found a place where two very green branches came together and he sat down to rest. Then something peculiar happened. There was a branch close to where Billy was sitting and he suddenly noticed that a patch of bark on this branch was beginning to move. It was a patch the size of a stamp, and the sides of it seemed to be splitting down the middle and opening outwards, like a pair of big shutters on a nice clean window. Billy sat staring at this thing. And all at once, a feeling came over him. It felt as though the big tree he was sitting in and the green leaves all around him belonged to another world.

I can feel my heart echoing in my head as I walk onto the field, my heart is beating harder and harder with every step I take. I check to make sure that my boots are on tight just to my liking and make sure that my shin pads are on securely. As the referee blows the whistle for kick off I noticed a man in a black wrinkle free suit. I've never seen this man before but the way he's looking at me makes it look like he has seen me before. My team mate Jeremy passes the ball to John, John passes it to Jimmy and Jimmy passes it to me. As the ball is being passed to me I take a quick scan of the field, I check if it's clear behind me and if it's clear on the sideline, "all good" I say out loud. I control the ball and take a run down the sideline. I'm running at full speed with the ball,as I get closer to the end of the field I take a big leap and cross the ball to the middle. Jake jumped higher then he'd ever jumped and scored off a header. "Oh yea"! Jake yelled out. Me and Jake ran to each other and give each other a massive bro hug. As we walk back to our positions I saw that man with the suit writing something in a notebook he had. The game kept going for a while but eventually the referee blew the whistle for full time. As we walk off the field celebrating that man points to me and said "I am one of AC Milans scouts, could you please come with me and we can have a chat about something very exiting for you".
