Inquiry DLO Project.

We finally got our DLO done! It took weeks to plan, think and build for our bench that we ended up with. We had a lot of challenges on the way but we got through them and we made a great real life bench. It was very hard trying to make this bench especially the building. For me it was very fun doing this film and building our project was great. I hope you enjoy our film about us building our bench!

Travelling back in time.

Travelling back in time.

Today, I woke up hearing loud sounds around me. I fluttered my eyes opened, expecting to see my ceiling but that was the quite opposite. Hi my name is Joseph, And I just woke up seeing a dinosaur right above my head. I sit up quickly and get on my feet. I stare at the small dinosaur. I was trying to figure out why there was a dinosaur in my room until I realised…I wasn’t even in my room!   

Instead there were large trees around me and leaves on the dirty floor. I saw that the dinosaur ran away. I started to walk around to find out why I was here. I finally got out of the trees and saw so many dinosaurs! There were T-Rex, Brontosaurus and small ones. I luckily had my phone on me but when I tried to call my mother or friends it didn’t work because I didn’t have any reception. I looked around and thought that I went back in time. “But what year?, maybe this is all a dream’’ I thought.

I quickly got out of the sight of dinosaurs. Just in case they will hurt me. When walking it started to rain. I saw a big dark cave. Quickly ran over and sat down. I put my flash on so I can see and look. I thought maybe tomorrow I will wake up in my room the next day. So I started to fish for food and try to find some clothes for me. I had to take a shower in the lake and grab some fresh water from a different lake. I came across some big dinosaurs that were 2x my size. After a long day I sat on my uncomfortable bed and laid down. It was finally night and I could get some rest.

I closed my eyes and dozed off to sleep. I woke up the next day. But something was different. It was comfortable. I opened my eyes to find out I was back in my room. I standard up with joy. ‘’It was a dream” I thought. But when I looked down. I was still in my clothes made out of leaves and animal skin. ‘’First let’s get change’’ I say, going to my closet. ‘’That was the weirdest thing I have ever experienced’’ I say to myself. I then heard my mother call me for breakfast. “Coming Mom!’’ I yell. I can’t wait to have eggs instead of fish.

Why we should ban cigarettes speech.

Why we should ban cigarettes.

I have always thought that we should ban cigarettes, it could cause so much damage to your health and body. In cigarettes there are different kinds of chemicals such as benzene, arsenic and formaldehyde. When we smoke these chemicals from cigarettes it can lead to heart disease, a stroke and lung diseases. Hi my name is Perseus, and today i’ll talk about why we should ban cigarettes.

———————————————————————————-

Reason number one

What can cigarettes do to you? So much. It can hurt your mental health and your body. It can cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease and so much more. Smoking could also increase risk for certain eye diseases and many more. It can also affect your mental health. Most smokers say they want to stop, but some continue because it seems to relieve stress and anxiety. It is a really common belief that when smoking cigarettes it can help you relax. But smoking can actually increase anxiety and tension. So smoking could cause so much damage to your body and mental health.

Reason number two

What is inside cigarettes? We think that we know what is in our cigarettes that we smoke. Nicotine, phenol and naphthol. Those are the things that we know are in cigarettes. But you know the chemicals. At the start of my speech I mentioned three chemicals called formaldehyde, benzene and arsenic. These are just the main chemicals that I found. So what are these chemicals? What do they do? Well formaldehyde is an embalming fluid. It can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. Benzene is a chemical that is a colourless or light yellow liquid. Benzene works by causing cells not to work correctly. Arsenic is a chemical element. Arsenic can cause long-term exposure. 

Even just these three chemicals alone can destroy your body. Even though we think there are only little things in our cigarettes there are actually more than we think.  ———————————————————————————–

Reason number three

If you are a smoker. Cigarettes can get expensive! Imagine how  much money you can save if you stop. Someone who is buying a pack a day spends about $266 a week on just cigarettes! Which is over $13800 each year! Now that a lot. Smoking can not only hurt you but it can also hurt the environment. Cigarette waste can pollute beaches , soil and waterways. Studies have also shown that cigarettes are also harmful to wildlife.

There is so much I can talk about cigarettes. I can go on and on. But for now I have put it in a speech that you have been listening too. I hope you enjoyed my speech and thank you for listening.
