Achieving Your Goals


Supplementary Test Achievement In Reading

Students Ready, Clocks Ticking and Test Beginning.

Last week on the 3rd of November the whole Senior Block sat a STAR Reading Test. We all had our test after morning tea. It was a very hot day but we had to switch our brains on. We started at Eleven O’clock.

Before our teacher said “go” I was clicking my pen. When Mrs Golder said “BEGIN” I was so nervous because I wasn't sure if I can improve my marks from last year. We had 45 minutes to answer the questions.

Firstly we began with the first page, the first page` was straightforward because we had to look at the pictures and circle the word that represent the picture. We had four minutes to complete the first page. Students were racing along answering the questions. When we moved on to the other pages I wasn't sure if I could do it. Most of the pages were simple.  

There were a lot of pages but we were able to do it. We were all nervous at the start but we were okay at the end. If we had finished one page we had to go back and complete the ones that we had missed out. We had to answer every single question.

During the test I had a feeling that my pen was going to run out because my answers were wrong. I also had a feeling that the answers that I circled first was right but I was confident about the answers that I circled. The STAR Reading Test was easy at the beginning and difficult toward the end but I knew that I tried my best.  

Finally I had finished the whole test I was really happy because I had a feeling that I was doing pretty well. I was proud of myself.

Water Usage By Humans And Plants

                      Screenshot 2015-05-06 at 10.27.36.png

Every living thing in the world needs water to survive. All living things use water in a similar or different way. Every form of life needs water to live. Humans and plants both need water to live.

Humans need water to drink. Humans use water to shower,  toilet flushing, dish-washing, cooking, drinking and gardening. Our body is roughly 60% of water. Our brains has 70% of water and our lungs has 90% of water. Humans waste a lot of water by washing their dishes,, car washing and bath time. Humans need to drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Whenever humans do exercise they lose a lot of water.

Like humans, plants also need water. They need more water than any other living things in the world. Plants need water for photosynthesis. That's why plants need water because photosynthesis is what create food. Plants also need water to grow and create food and sugar. Plants use more water than animals. Plants use 90% of water. The water controls the plants temperature.  When we water the plants the water goes down the leaves to the stem. Plants need a lot of water like humans.

Humans and plants use water differently. Humans drink water and plants consume water. Humans need more water than plants. Plants need water for different things and humans need water for different things too.

Humans and plants both need water to survive.

Water is important to all living things on earth.
