Algebra DLO

This week for maths we had to create a DLO on algebra. Here is mine.

Cantamaths

Yesterday we went to Christchurch to compete in a maths competition. I was in the winning team for westa-maths so my team went to christchurch. So for the competition we have 30 minutes to complete 20 hard questions. It is 5 points for a correct question. Our tem got 90 points out of 100 wich is really good for a West Coast team.

Instructions.

This week we had to write instructions for our favourite sandwich. I chose a fresh chicken frenchstick. Her is how you make it.

Sandwich Equipment:

• Bread Knife 
• Chopping Board 
• Butter knife Plate 

Ingredients:

• Chicken 
•  French stick 
• Avocado
•  Kewpie Mayonnaise 
• Fresh tomato 
• Butter 
•  Fresh lettuce 

How to make: 

1. Firstly you cut the french stick to approx 20cm long. You then slice the french stick in half leaving a tiny bit more on the top half. 
2.  After that take your butter knife and gently spread butter over one side of each half. 
3.  Then take your chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. 
4.  Place the chicken thickly onto one of the halves. 
5.  Cut the avocado into thin slices. 
6.  Place the avocado onto the chicken slightly squishing it down.
7. Then you slice the tomato into thick circles and lay on top of the avocado. 
8.  Next you pluck some lettuce off and place it over everything leaving some hanging over the edges. 
9.  Then you generously squeeze the mayonnaise out over all of it. 
10.  Finally take you fresh chicken sandwich and but it on a plate. ENJOY!

PrEP

This term we are doing PrEP. PrEP is a thing that we do at our school to learn how to be in or manage a business. We have to apply for a job. This year I applied for the PrEP warehouse and the PrEP Bank. There are lot's of jobs to apply for, like Advertising agency, Bank, Warehouse, Police, working in a junior room and helping the caretaker. You also can have your own business and make things. At the end of it there is a big market full of products that the businesses have made. 

Argument writing

For the past term we have been focosing on writing a quality argument. Here is mine, it is about the death penlty.

Should we have the death penalty?

I believe that no country should have the death penalty because taking ones
life is usually just as bad as the crime itself. What happened to the saying
“all lives are sacred”. If someone kills someone they should be prepared for
a life sentence in jail, not death.

If killing someone is a crime then the death penalty should be one too. People
do stupid things, but if they are killed by the death penalty they will never
learn, never have sympathy for the one they killed. Maybe living with the
thought that you have killed someone is worse than death itself.

The saying “all lives are sacred” does not add up to the penalty. If one's life
is taken should we then take the life of another? two wrongs don’t make a
right. A total of 25 death row inmates were executed in the United States
in 2018! That’s only in 2018!

I think that a life long jail sentence is enough for a really bad crime.
Usually after people comit a bad crime they then comit suicide after. So a
death penalty is just an exuse to escape from the world without any pain.

The death penalty should be banned in all countries from now on. It is
definitely not good because taking one's life because of a crime is just not
OK, even if they murdered someone. 

The Production

This term we had the production. It was a show called Super Stan. I wasn't in it but I watched it on Thursday night. It went for 1 hour 30 minutes. It took a lot of hard work and practise for them to perfect it, but they got there and it was really good.
Well done to all the people in the production!
