Rights and Responsibilities

This week in maths we were learning about business studies. We had to design a business plan and execute it. After we all made robust plans, we had to pitch them to the class and the best one won. I hope you like looking at our plan. If you had a business what would you do?

UV Light and How It Works

Walt: Make a presentation about UV sensors.

Task Description: The above is my a presentation about UV Lights and How It Works. It solves some of the most burning questions about UV and solves some myths about it too. The reason we have to make this presentation is because it is related to making a UV sensor, which is our other project for Term 4 Extension.

Coningsby : A weird adventure

A long time ago there was a place called Coningsby, a place with no rules and a place which looked like a radioactive wasteland. Coningsby was a place made by the government of the country Ambrosia to see how people will behave in a post-apocalyptic situation.

Jordyn was a young man who was talented in parkour and knew the ins and outs of parkour while his friend Marcus knew the basics of survival. Marcus used his survival skills to tell Jordyn what to do and Jordyn used his parkour skills to do it. Together, Jordyn and Marcus worked to get food, water and tools. Months passed and they found other groups who were also like them, finding resources but they just waved and went along their journey.

Jordyn and Marcus were always afraid of the NoJacks, a gang which killed anyone they saw and didn’t care about their own lives. They were reckless and cause chaos wherever they went.

On an unlucky day, Jordyn and Marcus found the NoJacks marching where they were going and tried to hide. They knew that if the NoJacks found them, they wouldn’t escape alive. They hid in a garbage bin, as unhygienic as it was, they knew that the NoJacks wouldn’t suspect anyone hiding in a garbage bin. Unfortunately for them, they made too much noise while hiding and got caught.

They tried to run away but they were no match against the NoJackers, They were killed mercilessly and they woke up. Turns out Coningsby was a test ground to see how people would behave but if someone died they could go back home with their family. Unfortunately for the NoJacks who will never die because of the amount of resources and power they have, they will never be able to return back home.
