Germs, germs everywhere!

In geography at the moment, we are studying medical geography! Medical geography is the study of the diseases in the world and where abouts they occur! We have all been given a disease to research and have made leaflets with information about the disease! We have also started watching the film 'contagion'. The movie is about a highly contagious disease that is unknown to top scientists, which is quickly spreading around the world! After watching some of it everyone became very paranoid about germs! It was very funny actually!:D The film highlights how fast germs can travel and how they are passed from person to person!

 

 

 

Kenya Presentation

Since the start of the year we have all been working on a Trip around the world project. We finished the project in October. Afterwards we were paired up with someone who picked one of the same countries as you and were asked to do a presentation on it. Myself and Ciara chose Kenya. Here is our presentation, xxxx

Back to school!!:)

So its our second week back and to be honest, I was really looking forward to coming back. Since last week, we have been getting exam results and projects from before Christmas back. We are also being given new projects to start.
In geography, we have started studying medical geography. This is basically learning about disease and where and how they occur in the world. We were given the task of finding the top ten diseases, both in developed and developing countries. I found it really interesting to compare the diseases. Along with that we have all been given different diseases, and we have to make a leaflet displaying what the disease is, symptoms, vaccinations, causes and treatment. the disease that I was given is malaria. Even though we have only started the topic, i know that I am going to enjoy it.
In Home ec., we have started to collect materials for making Teddy bears. We have also starting baking. Yesterday we made apple crumble. In art, we have started portraits of celebrities using old cassette tapes. In science we are working on our project for sci fest, which is due for the start of February. We are doing our project on factors that influence dreams.

Catching up!;)

 

It had been a while since I last blogged so I'm just going to catch up on everything that has gone on in the past few weeks.

Technology:

At the moment in tech we are getting ready to enter a competition. The idea for the competition is to build a formula 1 car. There are six people on my team and our team name is rapído y furioso. I am the resource manager which means I am in charge of finding materials and equipment that is needed to complete the project and to keep track of time.

Junk Kouture:

We do our Junk Kouture project in home EC. and art classes, so that gives us six classes a week. At the moment we are on the way to the finish. There are only minor things left to fix on our dress and we just have to finish the accessories. We are having trouble coming up ith a name for our project but I'm sure we will come up with something. We also still have to figure out what we will be doing for hair and make-up. Our deadline is the 7th f December but the school fashion show will take place on the week of the tenth.

Geography:

We are coming near the end of our first Trip around the world powerpoint. However we have been put into pair and given a country. The country that I got is Kenya. The project involves selling the country as a unique travel spot. The presentation has to be 6-8 minutes long.
