MACC | Mrs Todd (6T)

Last week {the 18th of August} three MACC students went to Blacktown International Sports Stadium to represent our school in the CSSA State Athletics Carnival.
We all traveled with our parents and one of our teachers Mr.Brownlee came as well to do the boys long jump. It was a horribly windy day and was quite difficult if you were running because the wind was blowing one way while we were running the other way.
The three people who went were Charlotte, Ryley, and Cole.
First, we’ll talk about Cole he went in Discus and did very well. He came 8th overall. After that, he went home.
Now Charlotte she competed in three events and in 800m she came 1st in her heat and 6th overall. In 200m she came 18th and in the discus, she came 6th. Which was awesome!!!!

Finally,


Ryley went in four events in long jump he came 1st. In 100m he came 3rd, in 200m he came 2nd and in high jump he fouled all of his jumps which is good. Because he did so well he is going to CIS which is awesome!!!!!!!.

It would be nice to think that this post has to do with playing the game of Operation.... It doesn't!
It has to do with the Order of Operations that are needed when working in Mathematics to solve an equation. There needs to be an order so that an answer is accurate. It is also learning the procedure that will help you to become a better mathematician.

Check out some of the videos to help understand how to complete an equation that involves order of operations:






In Summary Order of Operations follows the following procedure:


Some examples to help remind you about how to complete the order of operations: 

To practice and consolidate your understanding about Order of Operations, complete this assignment by Friday 1st September. The second page lists the marking criteria and points will be deducted from your assignment if it is handed in late.

The story of the Mutiny of the Bounty and William Bligh's part in it is a fascinating story. William Bligh is a part of Australian history. He was an amazing navigator and disciplined captain, but one that lacked many social graces. He had a foul temper and managed to get many people offside with his inflexible attitude to authority. He was a character none the less.

The Picture book, William Bligh: a stormy story of tempestuous times, has been written by Michael Sedunary and illustrated by Bern Emmerichs. It recounts in the second person the events of the Bounty and the Rum Rebellion. It mentions the conflict that Bligh encountered both as Captain and as Governor of New South Wales.

While looking at the book, the students were asked to consider the statement:

A leader should be followed no matter how badly he treats his followers. They had to decide on their position. On one side of the classroom was the word AGREE and on the other side was DISAGREE. The students then stood besi…

Last Friday, six intrepid students accompanied Mrs Young and Mrs Todd to Dural. Pacific Hills Christian School was hosting a  real STEM symposium as part of Science Week. We had been invited to talk about the projects that students at MACC have worked on. 
Nathanael, Joshua and Jordan all shared about Tinkertime Plus. The students are turning umbrellas into sea creatures with the help of wearable technology, EL wire and microprocessors. The students have been using Design Thinking to come up with original designs. 
Kyle spoke about how we can inspire others by what we do. His motto was to dream big!
Nikita and Amelia were explained about their micro- environment project, looking at the way beans could be another economic food source. 
Mrs Young was the keynote speaker for the event. She explained how she is going to convert our clock tower into a drop tower, to show students the effect of gravity.
