My Life as a Pie

WALT: express my daily activities as percentages of a day and represent them in a pie chart.

Today we had to find the fractions i spend doing on my day.

So my denominator is 24 and the numerator will be how many hours you spend doing the activities.

Here is my activities and how many hours I spend doing them.

Next thing I did was turn these into fractions.
After that I convert them into percentages.
For example turn them into fractions the Denominator will be 24 and the activity will be the numerator . 7/24 
Next to turn them into percentages. You have to do...
 7/24 x 100/1 / 24 
=29.16
Now heres all the percentages turned into a pie chart.

Bubble Gum - Persuasive Writing

TOPIC = Should we be allowed to eat Bubble Gum in School.

Introduction : In Schools Bubblegum is one of the most strict rules.

Schools say bubble gum is not good for children because they get distracted. But today I am going to convince you that it is good for you.

Statement 1: Bubble gum is very good for you because it can help relieve stress . Bubble gum can be very useful if you are in a big test. For example when you are in a big test it will relieve anxiety. 

Bubble gum helps a lot.

Statement 2: Bubble gum gives you strong teeth. As Long as the gum is sugar free then you are algood. If you chew gum for 20 minutes after you eat it can protect your teeth by removing food debris and increasing your saliva flow. Your saliva strengthens your tooth enamel because it carries phosphate and calcium.

Statement 3: Chewing gum is actually a workout. Did you know that if you chew gum for an hour you can burn 11 calories. So if you're at school you can burn 66 calories in a day. 

Statement 4: Slim your waistline

According to a study by the University of Liverpool, chewing gum can slightly curb your cravings, which may help you make better eating choices. On average, the gum chewers in the study ate 36 fewer calories than those who didn’t chew gum. That doesn’t sound all that impressive, but if you cut 36 calories out of your diet every day, it adds up.

In conclusion chewing gum should be allowed in school. Gum has lots of good benefits. Chewing gum relieves stress and makes your breath smell nice . It strengthens your teeth and it also helps you lose weight. The bubble gum is like 4 in 1 deal

Space X

SpaceX has created history over the weekend by carrying two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).

It marks the first time that NASA astronauts have been sent to space on a rocket owned by the privately-owned company, SpaceX.

The mission was launched from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on Saturday. Later that same day the ship docked at the International Space Station.

The mission is important for future exploration, like the upcoming Artemis mission, which aims to put the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024.

Moving forward Nasa will use SpaceX as a ‘taxi’ service to send people into space, rather than using their own rockets.

Below is an image of the dragon capsule used to dock with the International Space Station.

Originally the mission had been planned to take place on Wednesday 27 May, but bad weather meant the launch had to be rescheduled for Saturday.

The launch of the space rocket was impressive. Astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behken were blasted off into space at 27,000kmph – 22 times the speed of sound.

After the initial take off, the rockets used to push the spacecraft landed safely back to earth. Check out the video below.
