This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and a Astronomer. We were also required to create a DLO with the following questions: Why is his work important? What did he find out? How does his work connect to simple machines? I found this activity interesting because i got to use my smart screaching skills and expericence through the history background of Sir Isaac Newton .

Duffy Assembly

 LI: To understand how reading can change one's life.

Today we had Marc from Duffy come and talk to us about the importance of reading and how reading can make a big impact on your life.  Although Marc had some challenges in his life he used reading as a tool to get through the hard times.  Marc believes that there is only CANs and not CAN’Ts.I found these facts interesting because he made me think alot because he said you need to believe in yourself and that made me think really carefully because i need to take always have faith and believe in myself even when no doesnt . Hearing what Marc had to say about his struggle in the past made me think to myself and said to myself hanging out with the wrong crowd can lead you to a lesson you will regret and focus more on work becaue the more you focus the better your qualification comes out .

Key Competencies

 LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.

Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges.  When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them. I found this acitvity interesting becausde it help me control my actions and helped me get through camp successful by using formal langauge and correct actions .
