<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Read the passage on aluminium and write a paragraph to persuade (convince) people to recycle their cans. Use the information from the text to help you come up with a strong argument.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Aluminium is the second most widely used metal in the world today (iron is the first). It is used in all sorts of human-made objects, including aircraft, buildings, fridges, knives and forks, air conditioners, and cans.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Aluminium doesn’t come out of the ground as a solid metal. It is found as bauxite. Bauxite needs to be processed to turn it into aluminium.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Aluminium is a finite resource, meaning that the aluminium in the ground will one day run out. This is why it is important to save aluminium when we can.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Aluminium is pretty simple to recycle and can be recycled over and over again. Two out of three of the cans used in Australia are recycled, although there is still plenty of room for improvement with over 1 billion cans ending up in landfill each year.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Recycling aluminium also saves loads of energy when compared to making it from scratch. In fact each single can that is recycled saves enough electricity to run a TV for 3 hours!

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">So how should aluminium be recycled? Cans should be empty and foil should be free from food scraps before putting them in recycling bins (they don’t need to be spotless). If you are out, remember to bring home your cans, foil or trays to recycle at home.

I know that. People should recycled more. I also think that it is getting out of control. Did you know that one can can make a TV run for 3 hours. I also know that aluminium is the second most widely used metal in the world today.

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.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> Early electronic computers, developed around the 1940s, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly diffrent to the modern computers we use today, especialy when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> Computers are programed to carry out instructions. these instructions are usually very simple and require adding numbers together moving data from one place to another etc.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> A computer program 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 graphick editors take large teams of programmers a long time to complete.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> 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 to mane 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 thyme.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> 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 spaning the globe that allows users to access email, the World Wide Web and other applications.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);"> 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.

Mrs Whiteman's Group:

Jake is making cupcakes for his sister's birthday. There are 12 cupcakes on each tray. If Jake bakes 10 trays of cupcakes, how many cupcakes does he have altogether? Remember to "prove" your answer by showing your working out and representing it in as many different ways as you can e.g number sentence, pictures, arrays, an algorithm, words and symbols.

The answer is 120 because 10 times 10 = 100 but then you have 10 times 2 and that = 20 Plus them together and it = 120

Bunting/McCheane/ORourke Group:

The school has purchased 35 new soccer balls for children to play with. If they cost $18 each, what was the total amount that the school paid for the new equipment?

TERM 2 WEEK 5 Mathematics is all around us. We can not go through a day without needing or using maths in some way.

RELIGION

In our Church calendar, we are currently in the season of Lent. We have been thinking (and writing) about the Lenten Promises. There are three Lenten Promises:

1. Fasting - where we do without something in response to Jesus' 40 days spent in the desert;

2. Almsgiving - giving up something of importance to us, for example resources (money or time), and giving these to others in need without expecting a thing in return;

3. Praying - spending quiet time with Jesus to talk with Him about things we are thankful for, things we need help with or just to praise Him.

Talk to your parents about the Lenten Promises you are doing this Lent. Reflect on how you are going with your promises and what you may need to do to keep them.

**Computer Facts**

Enjoy some grate 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 1940, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly diffrent to the modern computers we use today, especialy when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

Computers are programed 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 program 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 graphick, 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 cup to perform calculations. There are to mane types of computer memory, room (read only memory) and ram (random access memory). Rom contains Pre-written software and data that the cup 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 spining 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 M.P.3 players. We use computers all the time, often without even noing it.
