STOP RAINFORESTS DESTRUCTION!!!!!!
WE did this for our needs, but there is a message!
IF THERE IS .........
no forest = no oxygen
no oxygen = no life
no life = we will die!
why=because we don't know about it!!
THESE ARE THE BIG CAUSES OF THE DESTRUCTION OF RAINFORESTS
1. Logging
Commercial logging companies cut down mature trees that have been selected for their timber...2.Argiculture
Farmer grow their animals and they have to cut the trees..3. Fuelwood
People cut trees to get the wood and make the wood for fuel...4.Large Dam
In India and South America, hundreds of thousands of hectares of forests have been destroyed because of building these things...5. Mining
People mine because they wanted to get valuable materials...6.Tourism
Yet, as national parks are open to the public, tourism is damaging some of these areas.SOLUTIONS?
1. We Recycle
To be thoughtful about the way we consume2.Reforestation
Five Basic Steps to Saving Rainforests
"TREES" is a concept originally devised for an elementary school audience but serves well as set of principles for saving rainforests and, on a broader scale, ecosystems around the world.
- Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help save rainforests.
- Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
- Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.
- Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.
- Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.

According to them, my good points are I explained really well( they can understand my information) because they can understand my information. I also explained the facts about my topic..
According to them, my points for improvement are I have to be more confident while presenting. Sometimes, I am not confident because I am nervous/ gave wrong information to them.. I also was not focus. I talked about other things.
Next time, my goal is to improve my confident when I am presenting. I also have to explain clearly and I have to be focus on my work.
The jigsaw activity is a good activity because everybody can get chance
to explain. It can help us easily understand the topic.
A. Math- Measure Length- Word Problems
I learnt that in solving a word problem, we analyzed and understand first. We also have to made strategy too...... People who have lots and lots of strategy, will be successful in the future. My good points are when we did my top ten. It is a game was a game called " Who Wants To be a Millionaire?" I got highmarks in the topten. My weak points are when I couldn't solve a problem, I didn't draw. Now, I am starting to draw.
B. English- Writing a narrative
My story is all about helping each other. When we wanted to make a story, we have to have a guide and a Narrative Scaffold(plan). In the narrative Scaffold, we have to set When, Where and waht situation and others. If not, the story will be mixed, boring and the reader would not understand our story..
C.Unit of Inquiry
I found and realised that rainforests are important to us. It can help us support papers, medicines, foods and others I feel that medicines and foods are coming from the rainforests. They also helped us stabalize climate of the world. I wanted to learnt more about the threats of the rainforests.
My difficulties in the assessment on Impact of Rainforests are the following:
-explaining the information
-extending the ideas
-the time management
I think I need to read more books about the green house effect.
I feel that I did well in making ideas(big).
saTURdaY...
tODaY, i have to go at 16:30 because my best friend celebrate his birthday, Fauzan. He celebrate his birthday in Sanur. It is very fun.. I love it!!! I got many prizes from him too... because I know about him very well........ After that, Mirai went to my house to stay. The next day, Mirai will go home...

In English and Unit of Inquiry, we analyzed and understand an information text about climate, decay and renewal on a rainforests. I learnt that in the rainforests, the climate was warm. I can moved on by the teacher explaining before summarizing. It was also helpful when, we find difficult words and find it in the dictionary. But, before that we discussed the difficult words. Then, we made a summary about the article.
In Maths, we learnt a new topic about length, mass, money and time. But first, we have to learnt about length. We also got a problem to solved. I and Hafizh didn't got a perfect score but it's ok. We didn't got a perfect score because, we didn't analyze the problem first and we didn't draw it, so we got wrong.

Hi there Artix,
How are you? Today, Mr. Perico is not teaching us.. because, he went to Thailand on Friday until Tuesday next week. So, Ms. Yolanda will teach us. There was no Math subject and I hate it!!! because, I liked Math subject. In the first subject, we had English. In English, we continued our explanatory text with our writing buddy(Alvianto). We're done writing the story but, we have many grammar errors. we have some present tense and some past tense. Who had done editing it, we have to encode it in MS-Word. We're done editing it but, we're not done encoding it. Then, after recess, it was English subject again. But in this subject, we have to draw a character sketch on the following stories: Sadako, Stone Fox and Tales of the fourth Grade Nothing. We have to chose one of them to draw. I chose Tales of the fourth Grade Nothing because, we can easily identify the profiles of Peter.

May 10, 2008
Today, I went to the Sumatra Promotion Center. I saw Nael, Nicholas and Norbet in there. Nael also tease me with that thing and I hate it.....!!!!!!!! Nicholas always hit Nael and tickle him and Norbet too.. In the SPC, we run here to there because Nicholas is hitting me and Nael. We also hide so, Nicholas wouldn't hit us... Then, I went to Mega Mall but, not with Nael. In Mega mall, I only went to Hypermart with my mom and dad. I didn't bought anything. My father asked me to buy PS2 Cd but, I didn't want because I didn't like it again.

Maths Time!!!
Last week in Maths, we studied about geometrical figures. E.g. square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, equilateral triangle, right- angled triangle and others. In a square, there should be 4 equal sides and it should have 4 right angles. In a rectangle, there are 2 lines that have to be the same and the other 2 lines are also the same and it has 4 right angles too....
In a parallelogram, the rule was the same as a rectangle. The shape looks like a rectangle too...
English Time!!!
Last week in English, we continued our explanation about" How do Volcanoes Erupt?" We were done with some of the information. Firstly, we have to brainstorm. How was our introduction looks? It was interesting or not? Then, the 2nd paragraph. We brainstorm again what are we gonna write? After we brainstorm, we did pre- writing. We wrote informations that we have discussed and summarize it. After we were done writing all of the informations, we need to recheck all our information back. Were there anything wrong??.. After we recheck again, we went to Mam Yoly to got feedbacks.
Unit of Inquiry Time!!!
In the weekend, Saturday, we have an activity. It was an activity about " Planting Trees". I planted 8 trees along the road. Before we went there, we went to school and bought tools for gardening. After we were ready with our staffs, we walked to the road and we plant trees..............

Unit of Inquiry Time!!!
UOI tasks: Locating rainforests of the world
Defining tropical rainforests
In this activity, I learnt that there are 3 layers of a rainforest. It was (emergent), canopy, understory and forest floor. It is not a rainforests if there was no layers. Groupings help me understand more what is a definition of a rainforests. I know that a rainforests are warm. ( 70- 80 degrees F).
Math Reflection!!!
In our activity on identifying geometrical figures, I found hard with getting the measurement of the figure. It was hard because I didn't know how to get it. I could solved it by discussing our work with our buddies so, we could understand better. I am har to find a perpendicular lines on a figure. For me to understand better, I measured using a protector, if it is 90 degrees or not and I discussed with my buddy.

Weekdays
Hi Artix,
Monday
Today, I research about Volcanic Eruption. My team members are Me, Hendri and Hazell. I only did the research. I printed an article and the major of eruption pictures and I also borrowed books about Volcanoes same with Hendri and Hazell too.. They borrowed books too... We have to write about our topic, "How do volcanoes erupt??". We have 3 papers I think. We also got feedbacks from Ms. Yolanda... We also have a homework and that is Maths.
Wednesday
Today, I didn't went to the school because I am sick. I miss the fieldtrip. I hear that when they went to the rainforest, Trent got a peck of a wild monkey and now. He is absent from Thursday and Friday. I hope he will be alright next week( Monday). I think, tomorrow I am alright so, I can go outside because tomorrow it is a holiday and it is Mirai's birthday. He didn't invited us to go outside like Trent's Birthday.... He didn't invited us but, it's alright. But, there is no homework for Thursday.
Friday & Saturday
Today, there is an upacara but, I didn't join because I am still sick. So, I stayed in the class and wait for them. After they came, Mr. Darwin came to teach Maths. But before that, he did not teach, he discussed for tomorrow's activity. It is about Planting 100 Trees. But, I didn't know that so, I call my mom ad I could. I am happy. After discussing about the activity, we continue to Maths. It is still about figures. E.g. Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Rhombus, Trapezium, Equilateral Triangle and etc. The next day, I woke up at 5:30 o'clock in the morning. I took a bath and the eat. After that I went to the school to join the activity. The planting of the trees when well. We plant along the road near the building of Batam Pos. We also need to bring tools for gardening too.. ( if you have it). I have planted 7 trees along the road. After that, we have to water the plants and after that walked to the school again. The Tree Planting Activity ends in 9:30 AM.
So, that's all Artix... We also didn't do our reflection on our reflection book but I can rememeber it.. So Bye.... See Yah.... L8R^

Kimi Raikonen is first..... I am happy with it.. Later 7 o'clock is the race.. I hope that Ferari (Raikonen and Massa) win and Mclaren(Kovlainen and Hamilton)
lose.
So, now I think I have to go now..
See you....
