Science

In science we are working on our ecosystems unit. We have done things like notes and watched documentaries on different ecosystems. We were assigned a project to create an ecosystem as well. In this project we are to create a diorama of an ecosystem with the help of our partner(s). We must also answer some questions about our ecosystem. There are only allowed two groups per ecosystem. Some of the ecosystems might include: rain forests, coral reefs, savannahs, jungles and boreal forests. We were each allowed to pick one from the list or one that was not listed. We are to use clay and a shoebox for our diorama. Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun with their projects and getting a lot done in the two work periods we've had. 

The picture below displays the appearances of  four ecosystems:

          

With all that said, I wish you all luck on your projects and thank you for listening.

Track & Field

Track & Field

                  On Wednesday, May 21^st, we had our first track meet for Grades 7 & 8. The events that we did are the following: Long Jump, High Jump, Discuss, Shot-put, 800m, 400m, 200m, it was supposed to be a 100m but its 60m. This year, the track and field for grades 7&8 wasn't that bad at all, but i have to admit it was a lot of fun. After a couple of weeks from track, Mrs. Langstaff gave us the results to who are going to the U OF M for the track meet on Wednesday, June 4. I don't have the results of the winners for each event we did. Before I end my presentation I want to congratulate the following people who are going to the track meet on Wednesday. Congratulations to Agustina, Yosan, Skylar, Bianca, Megan, Marcus, Savith, Matthew, Bennet, to the people in 7B, and Grade 8. Thank you for listening!

Blog post

      Greetings and salutations fellow class mates of grade seven. For my blog post I am going to be talking about social studies class. Right now in social studies class we've been talking about poverty in Sub-Saharen Africa. We've been doing a lot of assignments like vocab definitions, maps of Sub-Saharen Africa, title pages, and a lot of other stuff like that. Recently we have done a speech on poverty in Sub-Saharen Africa, My topic was economy. Since it is almost the end of the year we have to do year end projects. The project is to make a brochure on a country, my country is Norway. That concludes my blog post and see you next time on savith tries to do a blog post.

Science Blog Post

This week in science class we started our new unit, "The earth's Crust." Although this topic can be viewed as mundane and kind've repetitive, I enjoy learning about this sector of the science curriculum as it has always been my favourite. 

As we learn more about the three different categories of rocks, and their specific formation (each of which I will share a definition), we strengthen our knowledge and understanding of the difference between rock and mineral.

Sedimentary Rock: 

A rock in which is formed through burial, compression, and chemical modification of deposited weathered rock debris or sediments of the earth's surface.

Igneous Rock:

A rock in which is formed through solidification of magma that solidifies and cools at the earth surface to conceive an extrusive or volcanic igneous rock. Or when molten lava cools and solidifies beneath the earths surface to conceive an intrusive or plutonic igneous rock

Metamorphic Rock: Rock in which is formed when existing rock is chemically or physically modified by intense heat or pressure. 

I am thoroughly pleased to inform you that I am enlightened with new information each science class, and it would like to thank you all for listening to my blog post. 

Crisis in Ukraine

Crisis in Ukraine

         Today, for my blog post, I have decided to talk about the crisis in Crimea. Recently,
 eight European military observers were held as prisoners by pro-Russian in eastern Ukraine. they were marched out, but under armed forces to show that they are not being mistreated. Later that day, a prisoner was released because of medical reasons.




                Also on Sunday, pro-Russian activists stormed the television broadcasting center to demand the that Russian channels are to be put back on air. These channels were blocked by the Kiev government because the serve as propaganda tools. The activists wore camouflage outfits and face masks, which is the regular uniform of pro-Russian forces that have seized government buildings in Ukraine.

blog post

 

Hi, my name is Michele and today for my blog post I am going to be talking about what we are doing in ELA. the first thing I am going to talk about is this project that we got about a week ago. The project was that we had to make a Webpage. We did this project in groups my group was Mathew, Savith, Harsh, Ben and me. are webpage was called KHREJ. We came up with it by combining the first letter in all of our last name and making it sound good. In our game we have three classes mage, spy, and warrior. My favourite class is mage.

 

In ELA class we also got a cereal box project. In this project we have to create a cereal and design the box for the cereal. The cereal name also has to have a repeating sound like Frosted Flakes the Fs are repeating. My cereal is called Planet Puffs. That is what we are doing in ELA class. I hope you enjoyed my blog.
