Even a few dollars count!

Poverty is increasing, and not many are trying to help. Projects that are trying to help are not succeeding.

“Every dollar counts.”

“Every 20 seconds, a child is dying of a water related illness.”

Many families all around the world are living in circumstances where they have no or dirty water and hardly any food to survive on, while you have a roof to stay under, abundant supplies of filtered and clean water and healthy and tasty options for food. Be grateful for everything you have, and try not to waste water or food. Know that many people cannot access the things you have access to, and are starving to death.

“Every drop of water counts.”

Homelessness and poverty is increasing quickly, and it has been proved donating is not enough. People need to take a step forward and start helping the people in need.

Remember that Jesus would’ve taken in these people and helped them become just as wealthy, healthy and educated as each one of us are. You should try do the same by taking little steps at a time. Think about those who are dying! Think about those who are hungry and thirsty! Think about the people with no homes!

2 Corinthians 8:9

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.”

Think about what Jesus would do. You can do that do.

Foster a child.

Adopt a child.

Donate something you need.

Don’t waste water.

Don’t waste food.

Help at the orphanage.

Pray for those who need it.

“Little things that make a difference.”

Luke 6:20-21

“And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.”

Educate yourself about poverty issues and then educate others.

According to the United Nations, if we took half of what is currently spent on
bottled water (approximately $100 billion annually) and invested it in water
infrastructure and treatment, everyone in the world could have access to clean
drinking water.

“Having poor people in the richest country in the world is a choice. We have the money to solve this. But do we have the will?”

Amos 5:24

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

Poem-by Asmetha

A rose is the flower I would give to mum,

Because she loves it most;

It is the most beautiful flower that would become

A winning post.

“Roses are red, voilets are blue,

its mothers day and I love you.”

“Roses are red, violets are blue,

a mothers love, perfect and true.“

Deer is a cud-chewing mammal with  a four-chambered stomach, found on almost all continents except Australia and Antarctica, Africa has only one native species, the Red Deer, confined to the Atlas Mountains in the northwest of the continent. Different species of deer live in different habitats. The habitats range from cold tundra to the wet tropical rainforests.

Deer weights generally range from 30 to 250 kilograms, though the Northern Pudu averages 10 kilograms and the moose averages 431 kilograms.

Male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer) and female reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year. Deer generally have agile, compact bodies and long powerful legs. Deer are also excellent jumpers, fast runners and swimmers.

Here are some breeds of deer:

Samber

The Sambar  is a large deer native to southern and southeast Asia.

The appearance and size of sambar vary widely across their range. In general, they attain a height of 102 to 160 centimetres at the shoulder and may weigh as much as 546 kg, though more typically 150 to 320 kg.

The large, rugged antlers are typically rusine, the brow tines being simple and the beams forked at the tip, so that they have only three times. As with most deer, only the males have antlers.

Sambar are found in habitats ranging from tropical seasonal forests, subtropical mixed forests to tropical rainforests. They are seldom found far from water.

Fallow Deer

The Fallow Deer is common species is native to western Eurasia, but has been introduced widely elsewhere. The male is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn.

Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm and weigh around 4.5 kg. The life span is around 12–16 years.

Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from 3 years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are grazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland.

Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) over short distances. Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.

White Tailed Deer

The white tailed deer also known as the Virginia deer or simply as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States (all but five of the states), Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as Peru.

The deer’s coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter.
The North American male white-tailed deer  usually weighs 60 to 130 kg.

Whitetail deer eat large varieties of food, commonly eating legumes and foraging on other plants, including shoots, leaves, cacti, and grasses. They also eat acorns, fruit, and corn. Their special stomach allows them to eat some things that humans cannot, such as mushrooms and Red Sumac that are poisonous to humans.

Question 1. What inspires you to get up each day? The holidays and my parents because they inspire me to get up in the morning so I dont go late to school.

Question 2. When have you felt like this before? On chrismas eve, school days, easter, halloween, my birthday and new years eve.

Question 3. Why is it important to be inspired by people, music, the world? Because you can get an idea about what other people do and being a risk-taker and trying it for your self.

Question 4. What are they key attitudes of an inspiring person? I think that the key attitudes are ENTHUSIASTIC because when your having a go at it you have to be enthusiastic. Another cool one would be APPRECIATION because even if you Dont like the thing he or she is doing, then you still need to appreciate what they did.

“Get up in the morning can’t keep it in,

falling all over myself and I could jump out of my skin.

Wan’t to break the door down, just to greet the day” Gotye

Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness.

More than 3x more people lack water than live in the United States.

More people have a mobile than a toilet.

How can factories affect our communities? It can affect our community by making clothes, food and all kinds of other stuff. It can also blow up.

                                                       The Rockaways need us…

   I see the Rockaways, but fully demolished, scratchy sand covering the roads.

   I think we should help them get their town back.

   I wonder when their town will be back to normal.

PBL, (passion based learning) is something we do in class. It is creating something that has never been done before.

For my second PBL, I am doing Jelly Castles with lollies inside. I am doing this project with Tas.

BEGIN WITH END IN MIND! This means that before you build your thing, you have to have your end product in your mind. Then you’ll know what it will look like before you make it. One thing you need to know is that everything you imagine won’t come properly at the first time and you’ll have to fail a few times.

CRAFT THE DRIVING QUESTION! This means that before you make your thing, you need to ask yourself some questions that you have to answer in order to make the thing you wanted to make. For example, if I wanted to make a computer mouse then I would have to answer questions like How big will it be or will it be small? Will it be safe?

PLAN THE ASSESSMENT! Then what you have do is plan what your assessment. This means you need to plan what you’re doing. I’m doing a narrative, (which is my first PBL), so I need to plan.

MAP THE PROJECT! Map the project means making a procedural text for your thing that you’re doing and in you’re procedural text you need to give clear explanations of your steps, your ingredients, tools and materials. Giving a clear procedural text will give you good marks on your presentation.

MANAGE THE PROCESS! This means your presentation. Your presentation must be clear and you should have all your information ready for the presentation and if you don’t have all your information you will get low marks!

It is important to be knowledgable, caring, thinker, risk-taker, well-balanced, communicator, inquirer and principled. This is what we call attributes.

“Failure is a part of it all. Now, if failure don’t hurt, then failure don’t work” – Boy & Bear. Failure is really important because when you fail, you know the mistake you did and the next time, you do it, you won’t make the same mistake. When you fail, you get it right the next time. This happened to me once, when I was doing maths. But I tried and tried again, and I succeded. Making mistakes is OK, but it is important to learn from them. This has happened to many scientists when they invent, but they try and overcome their failure. It is important to NOT GIVE UP!

The NYC community is affected because it was hit by Hurricane Sandy. A lot of people got injured and died. It is also affected by the floods. It has also said that there has been a shark in the flood, just on the side of the road! Some key roles are cleaning up and building. Hurricane Sandy struck yesterday and was really bad. It is ending in Canada. In many photographs I have seen trees blocking roads, and even a trampoline in the air!

On Tuesday the 16th of October, BPS went to Frankston to do production. Each year level had a different story, I am in year four and I did The Magic Mirror with all the rest of the grade fours. It was Spanish themed so each year level had a spanish story. I was dressed up as a maiden. The story happened in a place called Granada in Spain. There was men of Granada, King, Narrator, Sheperdess, Barber, Town Crier and Sheep. We all preformed well and so did all the other year levels.

On the 25 of octobor the grade fours had a walk for water. We walked 6ks carrying buckets on our heads to feel how it would feel to walk that much. It would feel very tiring walking that much every day and when I DID IT IT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE. It was important because we could feel how the people in Africa feel. Water is a vital resource because not many people have fresh drinking water.
