Today for Social Studies, after the Rubbish bins research, we were afterwards given the task to record some data of our own to see how much Organic, Recycling and General rubbish I threw out. The day limit was 3 days to track our information and use that data to make a bar graph which I have done and will be shown below this text. It had to be a hand-drawn bar graph so here it is and have a good day.
The dark coal branches coiled above one another blending it as far the eye could see until all is white as snow hiding the branches behind its fog.
Dead trees seem to crumble over time and decay as all fallen leaves bright coloured bronze laid on the ground covering the surroundings.
The lifeless aqua water stationary reflecting back its own world like a mirror similar to duplicating its worlds in two.
The bright golden orange trail leading to where the eye can't meet, each step taken leads me away from the horror that slowly follows my footsteps imprinted on the dark barren ground. As the cold approaches, slowly my body consumes the winter that surrounds me. Knowing the end to it is not near or either close, whether it may take hours to days I must reach help.
Today in Social studies we have been looking around the topic based on recycling, as you have read the title our focus was on recycling bins and was given questions about this about how lazy recycling is affecting our community and large amounts of waste ending up in recycling bins causing landfills.
What % of rubbish can cause a recycling truck to be dumped?
Trucks containing more than 10% rubbish have to dump their content
What is going into people's recycling bins?
At this point of moment people are STILL putting contents of rubbish which belongs to the red bin, such things that end up in the yellow bing which cannot be recycled are: Large household materials, heavy appliances, bagged waste, soft plastics and other contaminated wastes.
What is the current penalty?
So far the council have been trying and putting huge amounts of effort into getting people to recycle properly again. Due to the fact that it hasn't been working out they now confiscate bins and has sent out at least 2500 final warning letters, the council has removed around 664 bins in the last nine months. Although 153 bins have been returned. But in order to get the bins back people have to now pay $97.65 and also sign a statement promising to accept and acknowledge by the rules.
After finishing off the Similes and Metaphors we continue to the next task which was Alliteration & Personification, this post will show the tasks I completed on this work and hopefully teaching you something new.
Alliteration - Alliteration is when a consonant sound is repeated over and over.
E.g The time ticked tediously by. The warm wind wafted across the window.
Highlight the Alliterations in the following sentences:
The sun sizzled the swimmers skin.
e.g He is a stonewall, unbreakable by force. The rain is glass shattering against the street.
As slippery as an eel. - Simile
Arnie was a man-mountain. - Metaphor
He was a lion in battle. - Metaphor
She is as pretty as a picture. - Simile
The striker was a goal machine. - Metaphor
The torch lit up the room as if the sun had already risen early. - Simile
The moon was a misty shadow. - Metaphor
My friend has a face like thunder. - Simile
Today and for the last 3 days we have been learning about Idioms, this is my second or third task on the figurative slideshow, we had to fill out what each figurative column meant and choose 3 from all 6 to make a drawing of what it would look like in the literal column.
Idioms - say things that are understood in ordinary English and do not mean what they say. Idioms are not meant to be taken literally; e.g ‘My teacher is the bomb!’.
What does being physically fit mean?
To be physically fit means to be in a state of health and well-being. Physical fitness is defined as the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist disease and to react to emergency situations.
What makes you physically unfit?
Your Diet(eating unhealthy food or not keeping your diet and meal plan in balance) and if the body gets damaged whether its a broken leg, arm or if they either have some illness. Mood swings can/could disturb how you physically function properly and such.
