Athletics 2020

                                          Athletics 

                      Athletics was last week on friday, we wore our house colours.

                   The houses' names are Benghazi, Trobruk, Tripoli and Alamein. 

              My house is alamein (yellow) , we won this year's shield yeeeehaaaa 👑.

 

When we go to school us leaders had to go set the gazebos up for us to sit under and 

                                      we had to go get everyone ready for the day.

I had to lead the chants so we all went outside and the teachers explained how the day was gonna be then we went house by house walking around the tracks and singing our chants. Next we all got under the gazebo, after that we went up to say our 

                 chants.  Benghazi won the chants and the best dressing code.

Staugh after that we got into field events. It was shot put, discus, stand jump, high 

                                                         jump and long jump.

 

                  It was morning tea we all waited for running after morning tea.

We all went back to our houses then we all had our runs after that we had relay and 

  the 400 meter around the track. Soon it was lunchtime and there were lollies

                                               sausage sizzle and ice blocks.

After lunch we had the finals and other races like teachers, babies and parents, then 

             When all of the events were finished we picked up rubbish.

They then announced the winner and 2nd, 3rd and last places. Once they said Benghazi came

2nd, our house was so happy because it was our 2nd year winning.

                                                               ALAMEIN 👑

History of Monkeys

Dawrin’s theory

Charles Darwin was born 12 February 1809 and died 19 April 1882. He was a scientist who studied living things. He travelled around the world on ships, studying different kinds of animals and birds.


Darwin released a book in 1859 called The Origin of Species. His idea was that all living things originated from one common ancestor and evolved over millions and millions of years


The idea of natural selection means that animals/organisms with desirable traits (e.g. things about them that helped them to survive, like their size, camouflage, long neck, etc) would survive and pass their traits onto their children. The ones with undesirable traits (e.g. too small, too slow, couldn’t hide, couldn’t fight back) were eaten and their traits were not passed on


Released another book called The Descent of Man in 1871 which talks about human evolution specifically. How animals evolved from water to live on land

EH HTOO


Early fish started to go coles to land then after a long time the fish involved to go on land for a short time there limbs got stronger then the fish involved to have lunges then the first amphibian like animals come about after years of evolution it was the rain of the.  First had to evolve stronger rib cage, shoulders and limbs to hold up its own body weight

Homo erectus had Larger brains then the homohabilis. They were the first to leave Africa arou, then the homo erectus went into Europe/Asia. Their hands used to look like a foot but then it changed into a hand, then they had Dexterous Fingers which means they can use them. Homo erectus is a Bipedal which means they stand on two long legs.

Homo sapiens sapiens is the name given to our species if we are considered a subspecies larger group. This name is used by those that describe the specimen from Herto, Ethiopia as Homo sapiens idàltu or by those who believed that modern humans and the Neanderthals were members of the same species sapiens. During a time of dramatic climate change 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens evolved in Africa sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Modern humans are sometimes called "anatomically modern humans". Homo sapiens considers itself the most influential species on the planet, but many species of life, mostly plants and protists, have had a much greater effect on the outside of Earth and its air.

5 things that make graphs inaccurate

They are tricking you ! :)

1) One way to trick you is not staring at the Y axis at zero.

2) Another way to trick you is having number that are ways too big on the Y axis.

3) A other way to trick you is putting the line side ways.

4) E.G you wouldn't use a pie chart when showing something that changes overtime.

5) Going against convention means doing things not in the normal- E.g having green to mean stop and red to mean go.
