Why recycle?

W.A.L.T...... to identify reasons why we recycle.

In the lesson we did we were told to make a presentation as to why we recycle and the most difficult part was probably hyperlinking and making sure every link worked.

Quadrilaterals what are they?

W.A.L.T..... Identify what quadrilaterals are 

Plastic bottles

Planning

Ever wonder what happens to plastic bottles when they’re recycled?

People are being more creative as to how they recycle bottles. Such as factory workers in China who now make the best clothing that is made with bottles which is the fabric polyester, here is the process.

It starts off when the bottles are drained because we may leave extra liquid inside which can affect the quality of the plastic. After that it then gets shredded and wrapped in cellophane so that it can get shipped to China.

When the shredded bottles have arrived, they’re then separated into colour groups. Clear or white bottles are very important in this case as they make white clothing or clothing that can be dyed. From then on stickers are separated and put into to a bathe, workers have to be really careful as corrosive caustic soda affects the skin but helps when removing labels.

The shredded bottles are then put into a barrel as it rotates for about 10 hours so that the plastic dries out. Workers have to catch the the shredded bottles as they fall out of the rotating barrel. Once that is done they then are put into a rotating screw that melts the plastic turning it into thread , then the plastic goes through a metal tube as it is then caught by the workers as it comes out.

These threads are then put into a lone which catches thousands of threads which tears them apart so it can stretch meanwhile, another lone gently merges them together by making tiny loops which makes it all into one piece of fabric. It holds it all together as bonded fibre strengthens all the material so that it can be made into all sorts of things. You probably think this is where it ends but no it doesn’t, This piece of fabric then goes through another machine which tear all those tiny loops made which makes the fabric more comfortable when worn.

Once this fabric is made it is then sent off to designers who design clothes for us to wear these clothes then get put up for sale for us to buy. So it’s pretty cool how people come up with so many different ways to recycle bottles now they can turn it into polyester and make all sort of things such as clothing and maybe even furniture. You never know how many more things can get recycled and turned into new things for us to use.

What is a 3D shape?

W.A.L.T....   Create nets for 3d shapes
In our maths lesson we learnt about nets and different 3d shapes such as a octahedron and a dodecahedron

Triangles

W.A.L.T..... Create and name the attributes of different triangles.

In this lesson of maths we had to make our own triangles.

A moment captured in one

W.A.L.T...... write descriptive paragraphs

Success Criteria:

-Generate an attribute chart to develop and sort ideas and details for descriptive writing
-Use interesting vocabulary to describe
-Generate paragraphs that have similar ideas-Create links between paragraphs

I think that I've really improved on descriptive writing in general because I've been able to include more descriptive vocabulary such as the ones below. I have done my planning using an attribute chart.

The ray of the sultry sun beams down on the overflowing crowd of people who stood in the streets of Rio. It’s humid heat starts to fill the air as a rush of excitement runs through the crowd. Children glance over at the starting line as they see cyclist start to organise their bikes for the race.  One by one people start to reach for their phones and cameras as they overhear the presenter begin the race.

As the crowd roared with encouragement, each cyclist’s accelerated their pedalling while the people start to take snapshots that captured every movement they made. Sweat dripped on every cyclist's face as they pushed themselves to their very best meanwhile pleasing their fans at the same time. In synchronisation they form one line as they swivel around each bend. A big “ohhh” comes from the crowd as some people try to get a better view.
