Hottest and Coldest place - Comparison -

What is the hottest and coldest place on earth?  To find more information read the text below. 

Have you ever wondered about the differences and the comparison of the most extreme climates? From coldest to hottest, these two are the utmost opposite of each other. The hottest place on earth is the Death Valley or some might call it Hell. On the other side of this continuum is the coldest place on earth which is Vostok station.  

Hottest place on earth “Death Valley”. What does it look like? 

This place can be found in California, USA. Death Valley can be described in many ways. For instance, the Death Valley is surrounded by hills. Hills are one of the attractions of tourists around. One of the attractions is its driest dirt. Many tumbleweeds run around the area making the place more scenic. There are a small number of people living in this area. The hottest temperature is recorded here which is 134 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason they’re living there is they have work or just visiting. Many of the work you can get in this area are housekeeping, cleaning the national park, keeping the people safe and many other jobs that involve the hills. 

Hottest place on Earth “Death Valley”. Is there life in such a place?

Animal	Adaptation
Kit fox	Kitfox are able to survive without water. They can get water from their prey. They also have pads that are very hairy to protect them from the heat of the ground. The pads can be traction on sand.
Death Valley pupfish	These fish are so adapted to warm water. They burrow themselves in the mud when water becomes cold. Death Valley pupfish can survive a water that is 2 or 3 times saltier than sea salt.
Devils Hole pupfish	This fish is a picky environmental habitat. They are endangered… These fish need 90-degree water with a low oxygen and a shallow ledge on which to spawn.

Coldest place on Earth  “Vostok Station”. What does it look like?

Vostok station is one of a kind. It has many reasons why it is called the coldest place on earth.  This place can be found in Antarctica. Interestingly, people don’t live here for no reason. People who live in Vostok station live there indefinitely. Meaning, they live there for work purposes or scientific research. In this place, you can find that many carbon dioxide can be frozen which turns to Dry Ice. This place is covered with piles of snow. If you see a tree, consider yourself lucky because trees are rare to find in this place. 

Animal	Adaptation
Penguin	Penguins keep their body in a high temperature to keep warm in cold climates. They also have a thick blubber under their skin to keep them even warmer. They also have the mind to cooperate by huddling together to keep each other warm.
Seals	Their strong, loseley, interlocked vertebrates make them strong and flexible enough  to navigate through the ice. Like penguins, they also have a thick blubber to keep them warm.
Polar Bears	Many antarctic animals have thick blubber to keep them warm. However, not only polar bears have thick blubbers they also have thick fur to keep them warm.

Similarities and differences.

These two temperate climates are the utmost opposite of each other. However, they also have similarities. Similarities - These two places have extreme temperatures. They have animals living in their location. Humans work in the area. Differences - They are opposite of each other. Human’s work differently when living in both areas. Animals have different adaptations on which place they are in. Therefore, even though both places are opposite of each other, they can still have similarities.

Creative Writing Matrix - My remoted controlled Life -

Task:

• On your way to school last week you found a strange remote lying in the gutter. 
• Describe the remote, how it looks, feels, weighs etc.
• While bored in class one day you joked with a friend, pressing the mute button as you aimed it at the teacher. To your surprise the teacher suddenly went silent. 
• Write a story about your new found power and how it has changed your life… for better or worse!

As I was walking towards my home. A sudden feeling started. The next thing I knew I fell into a gutter. “YUCK!!” I shouted, my mind was filled with getting out of the gutter but as I looked down I saw a shining looking item. It was a golden remote, I picked it out and ran as quickly as I could. Finally, I arrived at home. My mum asked why I was dirty and stinky. I told her the reason, however, I kept the golden remote as a secret so I can use it.  

The weekends pass by minutes. I was getting ready for school, excitement filled my head to show my friends what I found. While I was walking towards my school I started to see a familiar face. It was one of my friends. I hurried over to talk to him. Without even realising, we arrived at school. The bell started to ring, we quickly ran to our lockers and went to our classroom. Our first period was History, I wished I had the power to mute the teacher. Me and my friend had an Idea to get rid of our boredom. We unknowingly muted the teacher. The whole class had strange looks on their faces. We all thought the teacher was pranking us but after a while we realised she wasn’t. Me and my friend were the only ones that knew what was going on. 

Future self

“That was the beginning of my world domination” This golden remote can change the world. On that day I decided to make everyone pause and do whatever I wanted. That was when I made my biggest mistake. Time itself was destroyed, the coexisting realities disappeared. The whole universe went all dark.

Creative Writing Matrix - The sound of Silence -

Today for Matrix, I have chosen the topic called 'The sound of Silence"
What to do:


- Write a paragraph or poem about staying quiet when
you feel like shouting. 

- Why are you being quiet?

- Why do you feel like shouting?

- Use the 5 senses to describe and enhance your
writing- Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch, Hearing.

Results:

It was the time for the examination. Stood quietly in the hallway as I wait. I knew that my room was messy and forgotten that today was inspection day. I never made a mistake that was this bad. As soon as the inspector came into the room, he shouted “Ahhh”. That was when I realised that I really messed up. In the first glimpse of the room I saw the inspector slip on some cans that were on the floor. He got up quickly and looked around the room. He looked into my soul with an annoying glare. He pointed out towards the hallway. I followed his order. He made me stand in the hallway, telling me my mistakes. I wanted to shout my excuses but couldn’t. As I smelled the air of madness he started to tell me what kind of punishments I would get. At that time I tasted one of his wraths. My brain kept telling me to stay quiet, but my heart wanted me to shout. I never understood which one I needed to follow. 

SDL Reflection/Goal (Week 9)

This week I am trying to achieve the goal: 

Can tell others the way how I like to learn and what suits me best.

Three ways to improve:

- Having more courage

- Having more confidence

- Getting rid of social anxiety.

Last week I've improved my goal: Knowing what skills I need to 

develop on. By using aspects such as making mistakes, knowing 

my wekneses and asking people what I did wrong.

Korfball

Last week we studied the sport called Korfball. Korfball has many aspects.

- Teamwork

- Tactics

- Shooting style

I liked Korfball even it was the first time I played it. It can have similar rules to netball and basketball.

Korfball can make people improve their physical environtment and shooting, eye coordinator and many other things. Our team had a team of sporty people so it wasn't fair to the other team. We were working well because we had cooporation.

Improvement:

- Even up the team.

- Call out the out's and contacts.

- Knowing the rules.

Workshop - (Gamplots) Researching Genre

This week I decided to join the game plots people. This session of game plot will be including a research. We are listing our top 8 favourite videogames and picking 3 games out of them and answering the following questions.

What is the 5 points of the storyline?

What do you like about the game?

What would you improve if you were the developer?

Mobile legends, God of war, Fortnite, Black ops, The last of us, The legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Assassin creed.  

Black ops - You start off in the middle of a war, There is a terrorist you have to try stop him for taking over the world, You start of in a chamber and it is starting to burn you and you die and then you become a new person and find your friend that the terrorist has taken from your army. Liking of the game - The storyline is really good. Improvements I would make - A smaller campaign, Picking our own characters, more path to pick. 

Pokemon - In the beginning, you pick a character, either it's a girl or a boy. You spawn in a lab picking your first magical creature called Pokemons. There are different types of pokemon. In the lab, you can pick between 3 pokemons. Bulbassor ( a grass/swamp ) Charmander (a fire type ). Squirtle (a water type ). YOu train them and they can evolve. The goal in this game is to earn badges and be the best trainer there is. Liking of the game - You can get as many pokemons as you like. The thing that I want to change - Battling an NPC before getting into a new place.

Mobile legends - Each hero has a story behind them. Completing each achievement you gain a specific award that will gain you the hero’s statue. In the game you enter a lobby and you will play with 9 players for every game. 4 is in your team and the other 5 is your opponent. Your goal is to destroy the enemy’s base and complete some achievement along the way.  Liking of the game - You can pick out a hero for your own game style, the story behind each hero connects with the other heroes in the game. The thing that I want to change - The currency of buying the heroes/items is unfair.

Math _ finding the patterns

This week we are trying to find repeating patterns throught many problems. For instance we went outside and found many patterns. Today we made Hexahexa-flexagon and it has many patterns.
