Maths

 What does it mean to be a good mathematician?

As students build their mathematical proficiency, they become more confident  to learn and use math. And anyone who has great skills is also a good mathematician even if they do other jobs. 

Social studies - Human Rights

This year so far in social studies we have been learning about Human rights.

This is the declaration of human rights which the whole world came up with.

science - Bones

Bones

What are bones.?   Bone is the substance that forms the skeleton of the body.  Muscles pull against bones to make the body move. Bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue in the center of many  bones, makes and stores blood cells.

How does our body make them.? 

Bones kinda do have a similar life cycle as a living being. They start as cartilage that is like a plastic/rubber padding. As a young life form is being born by in a mammal or a mother’s womb. The skeletal system begins to form a framework of cartilage. Before birth, there is a certain amount of hardening of bones/limb bones to allow the human being to somewhat stand properly after a few months or so on. Even so, the greater part of a skeleton framework is cartilage at birth. After birth, the bones or cartilage in the skeleton begins to harden. The continues throughout life forms life until old age, a small amount of cartilage is left and bones are now old and brittle. Also, the process of hardening is called ossification. 

- Ossification/ Hardening is a process of adding new bone materials/cells called osteoblasts.

How do they grow/repair.?

Bones grow and are repaired by the process of getting elderly. Bones also repair themselves naturally. Here’s how bones heal:

1. Immediately after a fracture occurs, a blood clot and callus form around it.

2. New threads “threads” of bone cells start to grow on both sides of the fracture line toward another. 

3. Eventually, the fractures close up and the callus is absorbed by the new cells. This process may take from six weeks to a year.

Bones grow and get healthy with the help of Calcium, Iron, Vitamin D, Protein, and fluoride.

                                                                            Conclusion

  Water pollution is the contamination of water.It is when contaminants are introduced in the natural environment.It has been polluted by the dairy farms and cow poo.we need to clean up the lakes and rivers because  people who live near them get affected.They need to fish and help their family.It is a bad thing because it is damaging the fish and other resources around it. It is not safe for us humans and animals to use because it is contaminated.

The things that cause water pollution is dairy farms, sewage , garbage, animal poop and liquid waste of households.This damages the water so people can't use  it anymore unless it gets cleaned. Dairy farmers cause water pollution by fertilizers and manure that can run off into the lakes and rivers. People have littered and dumped waste into the water which causes water pollution.

If water pollution continues  it is going to be harmful to the health of us humans and animals.  Water pollution can cause many effects on the environment  like acid rain and oil spills. Water pollution doesn't just affect the environment it also affects people and other animals. People can't drink polluted water, and neither can animals. The crucial solutions to this problem ultimately comes down to personal responsibility because every one of us is to be blamed for the pollution of water

Don’t pour oil down the sink, don't flush pills in the toilet etc.Avoid using garbage disposal keep solid wastes solids.make compost pile from vegetable scraps.
