LI: To tell people why we don’t want cyberbullies.
Why we don’t want cyberbullies because they cause verbal abuse to other people and they will get affect by the cyberbullies. If you on the site where you are getting bullied from strangers get off the site or explan to your parents and guardian member. Cyberbullies will get you by being angry, upest, depressed and frustrated.
I enjoyed this activity because this can show the effect of what cyberbullying can do to others.
LI: To read food labels and understand what they tell us
This week’s inquiry is about nutrition labels and how we read them. Our task was to make a poster that tells us how to read a nutrition label and how much of the portion should it have in a meal to be a healthy diet. We had to choose between 9 cereals that was the most healthiest by reading the nutrition label individually and I chose weet bix because if you eat it that gives you energy.
I found this activity was good because they will tells us to read the Nutrition so we will understand about the less sugars.

Scurvy is caused by lack of Vitamin C for at least 3 months. I was mostly common for pirates/sailors.
I found this activity good because we have to eat the fruits.

Treaty was signed. We used our knowledge to infer what the artist Marcus King might have wanted us to think was happening.
I found this really interesting because I inferred from Marcus King’s Vision.
