"Geographical Significance Of The Amazon"

The Amazon rain forest is geographically significant to the world, and the there are numerous reasons why. Before we head off to the reasons of the Amazon rain forest, the definition of the word “Geographically” is the based on or derived from the from the physical features of an area, and in this paragraph, I will talk about the physical features of the Amazon. So first of all, the Amazon rain forest is located in the centre ring of the world called the equator, also known as the ‘Belt.’ The equator or the ‘Belt’ is the most hottest place in the world as the centre of the Earth is tilting to the Sun, which has an increase of temperature according to our Scientists and Researchers. Another reason why the Amazon rain forest is geographically significant to the world is because it’s the top largest rain forest in the world. As of many other forests, the Amazon forest is a place to find medicines for healing such as Anti-fungal, and these medicines are found in plants, in which Scientists and Researchers look for.

Another feature of the Amazon rain forest is that they have layers, as well as other rain forests. These layers are divided into four, and the first layer of the rain forest is the Emergent layer, the second layer is the Canopy, the third layer is called the Under story, and the fourth layer is known to be called the Forest Floor layer. The first layer, the Emergent layer is home to birds, butterflies, bats and small monkeys. The second layer, Canopy is home 90% of animals in the rain forest because it contains a rich source of fruits and seeds. The third layer, Under story is home to countless insects such as bees, stick insects and etc because of it’s warmth, dampness, and it also gives shelters to most animals living there. The last layer, Forest floor is the home to small, developing, or dead plants & animals. This layer is where the photosynthesis, and decomposition occurs. Decomposition is the process in which organisms such as worms, fungi, bacteria and other decomposer's break down these dead plants and animals. Once they are decomposed, they become part of the soil, and produces carbon dioxide for the rain forest.

The final reason of this paragraph of why the Amazon rain forest is geographically significant to the world is because it is home to the majority of various kinds of species, such as Harpy eagles, Orangutan's, Jaguars, Leopards, Toucans, Gorillas, Golden Lion Tamarin Monkeys, and etc.

[Science]- "Atom & Electronic Configuration"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout this term (term 2) in Science with Mr Tyagi & Ms Smallwood, we've been learning and discussing about, "atoms" & the "electronic configuration." Mostly about atoms and what they are. I find this unit quite interesting, as it relates to things in life that we may be capable of coming upon it throughout our lives... Here is my definition of what atoms and electronic configuration are. Please feel free to leave a comment down below in the comments section for any advice on what I can do better in the future, I'd appreciate that. Thanks :)

The Structure Of An Atom & The Electronic Configuration:

Atoms are commonly known as the “basic units” of matter, in which is the structure of elements. They consist of three particles known to be, protons, neutrons & electrons. Protons and Neutrons are in the centre of an atom, which is inside the nucleus. Electrons however, are located around the nucleus, in orbits well-known to be called orbital shells or energy shells. Electronic configuration is informed by the particles of atoms, in which you are able to find in an element, example; Sodium has an Atomic Mass of 23, and an Atomic Number of 11, the electronic configuration of this element is 2,8,1.

S.No	Name Of The Element	Symbol	Atomic Mass	Atomic Number	Electronic Configuration
1	Sodium	Na	23	11	2,8,1

Equation:

Atomic Number= Number Of Protons

Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons

Number Of Neutrons = Mass Number= Atomic Number

Number Of Electrons = Number Of Protons = Atomic Number

An atom that is charged is called= iON

Losing electrons= Positive

Gaining electrons= Negative

Sharing electrons= Partial Positive or Partial Negative

Kevlar Activity

This week in reading we have been learning how to infer a text by reading between the lines, looking for clues within the text and use your own prior knowledge and our text is about Kevlar. Kevlar is a type of material that police officers use well it is a vest that is used with Kevlar. Here is my reading activity for this week.

The Maori Pioneer Battalion- Reading- Paraphrasing

Today for literacy, Mr Wiseman gave us a task to complete before the end of this week. Our task is about paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is when you get a story that someone has already written and write it in your own words. If you don't write it in your own words, that means that you are plagiarising. Scroll through this presentation and hopefully you will know what paraphrasing is. Thank you for your time.

Cyber Smart Values-Making Links

Today for maths, Miss Kyla came into our classroom and taught us about how to protect your self from public sites that harms or gives you a virus. Here is a google drawing that I had made a copy of and wrote the things that would help me be protective, learn how to participate and also learnt how to show partnership on an online site.

It Says – I Say – And So…

Name: Vaifoa

The following graphic organizer helps you to find information in a text and put it together with what you already know to come up with a complete answer.

Question	It says...	I say...	So...
Which of the girls is the most adventurous?	Taking chances like that was a real Hazel thing to do.	People who takes chances are  more adventurous	Hazel is the most adventurous.
What were the girls feeling inside the butchers.	The girls yelped and grabbed each other. They stood still, hearts thudding, not making a sound.	Staying still or not making a sound means that people are frightened.	The girls are feeling scared.
Do you think the cat was a wild cat?	Louisa went up to the cat and tickled it behind the ears.	A wild cat will never let people tickle them behind the ears or pick it up.	The cat isn’t wild.

Phineas & Ferb

Phineas and Ferb......

One sunny morning in a hot day Phineas and Ferb were sitting under their shady tree in the backyard. “Ohh, hello boys” said mom “Hi mom” replied Phineas and Ferb. “Where are you going to day”? asked Phineas. “I will be going to the mall, and Candace your encharge”. “Yeeeee” chuckled Candace. Candace went up to her room and stared at Phineas and Ferb.
“Ferb I think what we're going to do today, Hey where’s Perry”?

Perry sneaked to a daisey, and twist the daisey and then he went down a secret place. He was under a Lab sitting on a red chair. After Perry was in the lab a face on the screen, Perry was facing and the screen  came on. “Perry” said the face on the screen, you have an important mission. “Dr. Doofenshmirtz is building evil laser that will face the world around”, “You must stop him, Agent P.

Off goes Perry with his jetpack to Doofenshmirtz Lab. Perry fell into a trap of Dr. Doofenshmirtz Lab. Perry was covered in maple syrup. The maple syrup went hard and froze agent P. “Lrrrrrdddd” Perry grineded. I will introduce to you my evililanator. It will face the world down.

When Dr. Doofenshmirtz was talking Perry melted the maple syrup with his lighter.  Perry was free, he aimed at Dr. Doofenshmirtz face and kicked him. He fell down and then stand back up. They were fighting along the evililanator and then pressed the destroy button and then blowed up. Perry ran and jumped down. He hooked up his parachute and then Doofenshmirtz yelled “Curse you perry the platypus”.

Phineas and Ferb built a roller coaster. Isabella came through the backyard and peaceful said “What you're doing”.
