The Hunter Swoop | English

 A Sky so cloudy, A mountain can barely be seen from behind.

Ice covers the mountains, so cold yet so bright as the snow reflects the sun's light.

A sheet of frost covers the road, clearly slippery from the ice. streaks of tire tracks from cars driving left their mark on the thin layer of ice.

everything disappears when it reaches the end of the horizon to a breathtaking view of mountains so cold and bright.

Starfish Poem | Social Studies

THE STARFISH POEM

Once upon a time, there was a wise man 

who used to go to the ocean 

to do his writing. 

He had a habit of walking 

on the beach 

before he began his work. 

One day he was walking along 

the shore. 

As he looked down the beach, 

he saw a human 

figure moving like a dancer. 

He smiled to himself to think 

of someone who would 

dance to the day. 

So he began to walk faster 

to catch up. 

As he got closer, he saw 

that it was a young man 

and the young man wasn't dancing, 

but instead, he was reaching 

down to the shore, 

picking up something

and very gently throwing it 

into the ocean. 

As he got closer he called out, 

"Good morning! What are you doing?" 

The young man paused, 

looked up and replied, 

"Throwing starfish in the ocean." 

"I guess I should have asked, 

why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" 

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. 

And if I don't throw them in they'll die." 

"But, young man, don't you realize that 

there are miles and miles of beach 

and starfish all along it. 

You can't possibly make a difference!" 

The young man listened politely. 

Then bent down, picked up another starfish 

and threw it into the sea, 

past the breaking waves and said- 

"It made a difference for that one."

The main message of this poem

- A single person can make such a significant change to our environment and if people start making small differences in their everyday life they would be helping more and more. other people might doubt that just throwing a single piece of rubbish won't make a difference but if more people started doing it, those small changes can turn into something big.

Alkaline Metals

What is an Alkaline Metal?

- Example of Alkaline Metals are Lithium, sodium and potassium, these metals are highly reactive and form strongly alkaline hydroxides. 

Where are they on the P.Table?

- It is in Group 1 of the periodic table which means it only has one electron.

What Reaction did we do yesterday?

Observations

- As soon as the Alkali metal (Sodium) was dropped in the water, it started smoking, then after a few seconds

we saw fire and after that, it exploded. 

Reactants

- Alkali Metal (Sodium) and Water (H20)

Product

- Sodium Oxide and Hydrogen (Na2O + H2)

Chemical equations

- Na + H2O =Na2O + H2

Why do these metals react this way?

- Alkali Metals are Highly Reactive and the reason for that is because these metals only have one electron in their outer shell.

Neutralisation

Neutralisation

Neutralisation is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. Neutralization occurs when no excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions are present in a solution.

Aim/Objective

- Our aim was to create different ph levels by using a base (sodium hydroxide), acid (hydrochloric acid) and a universal indicator which resulted in different ph levels and different colours.

Methods

- We filled each of the test tubes with a universal indicator, we then put different amounts of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acids to achieve the different ph levels and colours.

Results

- The results were solutions that had different ph levels and different colours according to their level.

Conclusion

- The ph colour represented how acidic or alkali our solutions were after adding the sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to our test tubes filled with a universal indicator.

The song is referring to the people of Africa who are living in poverty and is in famine with no food and no other source or way to produce food. This was all around the Christmas season which is why it said in the song that they might not even know that it's Christmas.

Lyrics:

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid

At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones

At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing

Is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring

There are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows

No rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you

Raise a glass for everyone

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived

If the table was turned would you survive

Here's to them

Underneath that burning sun

You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless

Give a little help to the helpless

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

(Feed the world)

Feed the world

Feed the world

Music Through Time - Woodstock

 John Lennon's song titled "Give peace a chance" is all about how they were against the war and that people should focus on living in peace and giving love to others.

John Lennon would perform the song "Give peace a chance" with The Plastic Ono Band.
