Children of Blood and Bone Writing Prompt for Chapter 36.
Chapter 36 - Zélie
“Those are father’s words, Inan. His decisions. Not yours. We are our own
people. We make our own choices.”
“But he’s right.” Inan’s voice cracks. “If we don’t stop magic, Orïsha will fall.”
His eyes return to me, and I tighten my grip on my staff. Try it, I want to bark.
I’m done running away.
Amari redirects Inan’s line of vision, her delicate hands cupping the back of his
head.
“Father is not the future of Orïsha, brother. We are. We stand on the right side
of this. You can stand there, too.”
Inan stares at Amari, and for a moment I don’t know who he is. The ruthless
captain; the little prince; the scared and broken maji? There’s a longing in his
eyes, a desire to give up the fight. But when he lifts his chin, the killer I know
comes back.
This is could be compared to someone who believes someone so much that he is willing to carry out any duty for that person even if it's stupid. Then, later on, he or she would feel conflicted when talking to someone they know very well but in the end, the person won't know what's right or wrong and just do whatever he feels is right.

English Written Text - Relating to The Real World - Chapter 33 Zelie
This writing prompt is about a girl and her group winning in a hunger games kind of thing or a battle royale. Later then she feels guilty of winning because she was just killing people for the sake of magic.
Chapter 33 – Zélie
Gods help us. I close my eyes, trying to drown the tragedy out. Through it all,
the cheers never stop. The praise never ends. As we stand on the platform, the
crowd rejoices as if there’s a reason to celebrate this bloodbath.
Beside me, Tzain holds me close; he hasn’t really let go since he carried me
from the ship. He keeps his expression vacant, but I can sense his remorse.
Though the competitor in him has prevailed, we’re still covered in the blood of
those who have fallen. We may have triumphed, but this is no victory.
A message I take from this scene is that if you win in something really competitive and other people are participating when having an overwhelmingly advantage it makes you feel no accomplishment.

English Written Text - Relating to the Real World - Chapter 28 Amari
This writing prompt on the book Children of Blood and Bone is about using your old pleasant memories to reinforce yourself mentally.
Chapter 28 - Amari
Be brave, Amari.
This time I hold onto Binta’s words, wrapping them around my body like a suit
of armor. I can be brave.
A message I take from this scene is that you can use your old memories such as old experiences to get through tough times or something you've never done before such as rock climbing. This can even be something you saw your friends do that you couldn't and if you view it from their perspective it won't look that hard.

English Written Text - Relating to the Real World - Chapter 26 Inan
Our third writing prompt for the book Children of Blood and Bone it's about a man chasing after someone with special powers while he has these abilities as well.
Chapter 26 - Inan
“How long?” she breathes. “How long have you been a maji?”
She hisses the word like it’s a curse. Like I’m the spitting image of Lekan. Not
the boy she’s known since birth. The soldier she’s trained for years.
“The girl infected me. It’s not permanent.”
“You’re lying.” Her lips peel back in disgust. “Are you…are you working with
her?”
“No! I was looking for clues!” I step forward. “I know where she is–”
“Stay back!” Kaea screams. I freeze, hands in the air. There’s no recognition in
her eyes.
Only unbridled fear.
This could be compared to when you betray someone you know since around birth without really acknowledging it. Then you try to convince them that this betrayal is false but it in end it doesn't work and you panic and probably something bad happens in the end.

Social Studies - Boomerangs
For Social Studies class we have been researching the background of boomerangs. We've researched the origin, the stories it told, and more such as the design.
What was the purpose of this activity?
I think the purpose of this activity is to know more about how the Aboriginals hunted animals for food. The boomerang was one of the main weapons the Aboriginals used for hunting animals and it had many forms for different purposes such as training the kids. This was one of the few things I found out.
The Story on my Boomerang
One side has an orange color and the other side has a dark blue color while the middle is black with spots of white. The other side of the boomerang is just two plain colors black and white. The Orange represents the sun since the heat was harsh in Australia. The blue represents the rain because the rain was kind of a good and bad thing because the rain would cool you down but it would be cold as well. The black in the middle represents the night sky and the white spot means the stars. The other side with white and black just represents the moon and the night sky which you could see.
What went well painting my boomerang
The colors of paint that I needed weren't so hard to get. The painting itself was already easy enough because it was simple. Basically, everything went well.

English Written Text - Relating to The World World - Chapter 23
This is the second quote we are writing about in the book Children of Blood and Bone. This quote is about chapter 23 when they find out they use people to fight amongst each other for glory.
Chapter 23 Quote
Metal gates fly open on the sides of the arena floor, and an endless flow of
water rushes in. This has to be a mirage. Yet liter after liter flows in. The water
covers the metal ground, crashing with the expanse of a sea.
“How is this possible?” I hiss under my breath, remembering the laborers no
more than skin and bone. So many dying for water and they waste it on this?
What this could be compared to
This can be compared to some countries in our world that make their people work for them. The people get minimal pay but most of their money goes toward someone high up. The person high up gets to spend the money on themselves.

English Written Text - Relating to The Real World - Chapter 22
For English, our new focus is on written text this term so reading books then answering questions on it. We have two books to choose from but the majority of us are reading the book which is Children of Blood and Bone. We are relating some quotes from a chapter to the real world.
Chapter 22 - Amari
I pause for a moment, aghast at the number of them filling the narrow path. Before today, I caught only glimpses of the laborers brought in to staff the palace—always pleasant, clean, groomed to Mother’s satisfaction. Like Binta, I thought they lived simple lives, safe within the palace walls. I never considered where they came from, where else they might have ended up, “Skies…” It’s almost too hard to bear the sight. Mostly diviners, the laborers outnumber the villagers by hordes, dressed in nothing but tattered rags. Their
dark skin blisters under the scorching sun, marred by the dirt and sand seemingly burned into their beings. Each is hardly more than a walking skeleton.
This quote relates to a lot of us in the real world because when we buy our products from shops we usually think adults get paid to make our products but in reality, there are children making some of our everyday products in harsh environments.

Science Experiment - Metal Carbonates and Acid
Today's experiment in science included us making carbon dioxide in a tube then putting a wooden splint on fire inside it causing the fire to disappear because there was no oxygen in it.
Aim: To show that carbon dioxide gas is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with acid.
Equipment: Two boiling tubes, delivery tube and bung, Bunsen Burner/lighter, test tube rack, wooden splint, a bottle of acid, small amount of metal carbonate, test tube tongs, safety glasses
Method:
1. Light your Bunsen burner/ Or use lighter
2. Add a 'pea-sized' amount of the metal carbonate into one of the boiling tubes.
3. Place this boiling tube into a test tube rack. Ensure you have the bung and delivery tube ready.
4. Add 5 mL of acid to the boiling tube and quickly insert the bung and delivery tube into the mouth of the boiling tube.
5. Holding the other boiling tube with your tongs, capture the gas produced as shown in the diagram below.
Results: What happened was when we add acid and a piece of metal carbonate with then sealed it with a bung and a delivery tube into a empty one, the empty one was filled carbon dioxide and when we put a fire in the carbon dioxide filled tube it just went out.
We also did this with limewater where we pretty much did the same thing but put limewater into the empty tube which just became cloudy which means carbon dioxide is present.
Discussion: Didn't know you could produuce carbon dioxide and forgot that fire needed oxygen. It was a alright experiment.
Conclusion: This experiment didn't require much work just lots of tools needed.
