Year 8 Writing.

WALA: figurative language.

SC: write definetion that makes sense to me.

Today we learnt what hyperbole is and alliteration, we had to define what it means  then share what means.

Alliteration examples:

Mikes miccrophhone made much music

Kims kids kept kicking 

Fred friends fries fritos for fridays food.

 Allteration means the repetition of the same intial in a serie of words are.

Hyperbole examples:

I have told you a millon times not to do that.

That  was the easist test in the world.

I am so hungery I cold eat a horse.

Hyperbole means an exaggeration that is unlikely true.

Sugar

Sugar is bad, Others are glad

Make the society sad,

We need good food

To help us poop

All the bad ways

Glucose, Sucrose, Lactose

Help the body provide

For energy!

And Health!

And good things inside

Except for that one guy

FRUCTOSE!!

My names fructose

I’m the sweetest guy

Find me in plant's

And in your fruit pies

But don’t you worry!

I’m all so fine.

With my refined sugars

And my hidden lies

And believe me - I’m not trying to hide

What’s there to give

I gonna provide

Lovey - But no this man is really bad

Ricky - No I’m not.

Lovey - he’s not healthy

Ricky - but the truth sucks

My names glucose

I’m good for you

I give you energy

And health.

For your exercise

I can help  you

To keep alive

Weird enough

I’m in

Allo Allo Imma sucrose with the whatso’s

YEAH!

And i’m 50 50 of the glucose and fructose

Huh?

Wouldn’t you want to know about me

Enough to biologically x-ray see

Ya see those

That’s a portal vein

Get sent to the liver

But don’t settle round here

*Be the Victim*

Because you really are bad

You make me sick

Haha, ya get it, because in the body - and you like, you’ll kill the body

very funny

Excuse me, hello there

I’d like a little say here

I’m still a sugar

In just a different form

Interesting Facts,

• Fructose is the sweetest sugar around / Found in many plants etc
• Fructose is sweeter than sucrose ( Table sugar )
• Sugar cane and sugar beets have highest concentration of sugar
• Sugar cane beets can be eaten raw / Also known as pure sugar
• As pancreatic cancer cells have been shown to use fructose for cell division, speeding up the growth and spread of the cancer
• Lactase Enzymes
• Enzymes: This collects fructose to burn off for energy, but when fructose goes through to the liver only a little bit goes to the rest of the body then in the liver we have an overload of fat if stored for too long the fructose turns into fat.

Math Reflection

Maths Reflection.

What types of questions did you find easy?

The questions that i found really easy was all the questions that included adding, subtraction, multiplacaitions and fractions. A the first and second questions was easy

What did you find hard?

The questions I found hard was all the questions that had to do with measuring and also the other that i found really hard was moving page to page and the questions were hard not all of them but some. Somthing else that i found hard was finding the stratagy and answers.

What do you think you need to improve on with your maths

With maths I think I need to improve on working faster and focusing because evry time one of my friends start talking to me i never get work finished because I get distracted.

Reflection about maths.

WALT : take a test on maths

1.  What types of questions did you find easy?

What I found easy was the missing number. The missing number  was 100 - 34 = 66 It was tricky a bit but mostly easy because I showed how I could use it like for example I went 60 + 40 = 90 , 6 + 4 = 10, so 90 + 10 = 100 so that was the way of me doing my strategy. My other thing that i found easy was the part when you had to find what was 30 + 10 or something like that but it was easy.

2.  What types of questions did you find challenging? 

What I found challenging was the question that said what was 2 1/2 ands that was the hardest challenging question I had to find out. The other thing I had to find out was trying to find out what was the fraction was when it was multiplying by 3. My 3rd thing that I found hard was the shapes of how to find out what was the opposite of the shape wich was really hard. My last thing that is hard for math's is  the times table it says 9x7= something.

3.  What do you think you need to improve on your maths ?

I think what I should improve on my times table so that when there is an test going on for example then I will know my questions for my answers. My second thing I need to work on is my fractions for my equations ready. The third thing I need to improve is an maths question to get focused and understand what to do next time. My last thing I need to improve on is asking for help when I'm stuck on something then  I just need to tell the teacher.
