Edit the following Information text about Green Waste. There is a spelling error on each line and 10 commas missing.

Green waste is made up of garden waste food scraps and would waste. All green waste can be composted yet around 54% of all rubbish sent to landfills consists 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 clipings leaves and fruit scraps can all be cumposted. 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 ova 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 each year and with a focus on water consumption reduction mulching seams like an effective way to help provent both water usage and waste. .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

=We should recycle Aluminium cans because Aluminium= =is a natural resource. It can be recycled using less energy= =then processing it from bauxite. There is also a benefit in= =collecting your cans and take= =them to a recycled yard= =because they pay money=

A rectangle has an area of 240m2. What could the possible dimensions (length of each side) for the perimeter of the rectangle be? Calculate the perimeter for each rectangle. Think of as many possible answers as you can. It helps to draw the rectangles.


 * __ Fast Finishers: __ ** You can draw as many different shapes that could have the same area as the rectangles in the previous questions. You need to record the dimensions for the perimeter of each shape that you draw. You can have a combination of regular and irregular shapes.

We have been learning about the Nicene Creed and the importance of this prayer for our faith. The Nicene Creed helps us to explain what we believe in and express these beliefs to other people.

Imagine you are writing your own creed that links to your beliefs. Choose 5 beliefs that are important to you and explain how they help you to set a good example for others. Here is an example:

I believe in being honest and telling the truth because then people will believe what I say and trust me. I believe it is important to show respect to others…

Dear editor, I am writing in reference to your article: 'Surgon urges worldwide mobile ban'! The westerner, 3/1/06 I applaud the good sense of Surgeon Mr Tan for finaly 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 statistiks 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 conciderably cheaper. Not only are mobile phones menases 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 doller per minute on it. I urge all #|mobile phone usars to consider the repercussions of their next 'quick' mobile call ! Nick Nunan

**Computer Facts** 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 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 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 networks. 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. Although we normally think of computers as the ones we use in our everyday lives to surf the web, write 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.
