Rock’s Home School
Term 3 Week 4
Monday 7th August 2023
Today I started the day off by doing my mental math with a favorite lesson of in the 24 hour time what time is 1 o’clock which became a lesson of knowing my 24 hour time.
I then finished the day off by doing my geography, I learnt about Papua New Guinea and the info about it, like the population which is 7,750,00, and their flag bird which is called the Bird Of Paradise Raggiana, it is one of the largest memebers of the Birds Of Paradise. I also learnt about Timor Leste, Timor means East in Malay and Leste means East in portugeuse, so Timor Leste means, East-East in two different languages combined.
I finished the day off by going to breakdance lessons and today was a day where you do lots of spin moves and I ended up really motion sick that the floor became the wall in my dizzy vision which made me have tears in my eyes.

Today I started the day by doing mental math with a favourite question of how many triangles are in a triangular pyramid and I got it right with an answer of 4.
I then did read and comprehension about a story called Hungry Hill which I got about a half score, and I planned a family mishap which is based off a true story of me, my mum, and dad at Bali when someone stole our phone.
I finished the day off by keeping my website up to date.
Wednesday 9th August 2023
I started the day by going to the Cleanaway recycling centre to learn what you can recycle and the bad thing to recycle – like batteries because Candal the education room operator (who taught us about recycling and the recycling centre) said she went to Karratha and in two days three recycling trucks caught on fire, the sorting team at the conveyer belt was sorting the rubbish and someone picked up a vape to seperate from the rest of the rubbish because of the batteries, and it blew up in his face.
Then I worked on my website for the rest of the day to get it up to date.
I finished the day off by going to Bounce and I did 20 front flips, and my dad helped my mum to move a coffin case for Djing but my Nanna brought me and she showed the videos of me flipping.
Thursday 10th August 2023
Today I updated my website and had to sneak in my dads room to get the lap top to do it.
I then finished the day off by learning an Arlecktra lesson which I did without actually looking and listening to the phone, I then learnt how to use the Arlecktra multimeter which was good to learn and how to see how many ohms you have and how it flows by touching the end of positive and negative and moisten your finger, I also learnt what a potentiometer is and how it works. Arlektra gets you to make an LED dimmer, using a potentiometer, and what it does is you spin the shaft that dims when you turn it to the left and left and it brightens when you turn it to the right.
I also had to create a parallel 3 LED circuit which is useful because if one gets broken or damaged, the rest will work. I also made an or switch circuit and an and circuit, an and circuit is where you have to use both switches to turn the LED on and both switches to turn it off, and or switch is where you can use both switches to controll the LED.
This is an And switch.
This is an OR switch.
This is a parrelel 3 LED circuit.
This is a circuit using a potentiometer.
