Along with gas emissions than cars. It makes the air that surrounds it as bad to breathe. Another issue that involves the gases that factories and industries produce. the surrounding vicinity around that building is affected by them.  Some that cause pollution are nature incidents like a storm that brings dust or other things has intoxicated substance in it

By the stopping the use of fossil fuels and others that cause harm to a much more sustainable resources. like using solar energy or wind energy to fuel a different type of cars. But due to the expensive of these cars, people may need to use fossil fuels.

Environmental Sustainability

Paragraph 1

Being sustainable and cleaning the planet may seem as a hassle knowing their is a lot of people in the earth. The natural resources in the earth regrow, we humans and other living being use it for necessary needs or desires. But overusing them may lead them to be endangered or even extinct which in their regrowth rate is much more lower than the rate we collect from them. Also we need to have a fair sense of distributing things around so that one does not have more than the other. Climate changes and global warming are important things to consider as the environment of an animal or plant may go into a state of degradation in which it makes it harder for them to replenish.

Paragraph 2
Keeping the earth sustainable is vital to keep our species alive along with the other living being in it. I think that it also help people to think insightful of the future of whats going to happen if we weren't sustainable. For example, if we overused a specific species of animal to the point it cannot reproduce fast enough to balance our consumption. They wouldn't probably stay long and even the newer generations of people may not get to see or interact with them. Therefore this is why I think being sustainable is important and how it can affect everybody.

Gymnastics = Term 3

The last few weeks we have been focused on gymnastics in PE. The skills that I already had when I started gymnastics were a forward roll, walking backwards on the beam, a back drop on the trampoline.

I have been improving at doing a bit of the ones I don't really do that much in gymnastics like doing a bridge, as the way I see it is complex and complicated. Although I don't have the right physical traits for doing trampoline I managed to do it by persevering and giving my best.

I would like to learn to do more next term 3, particularly on the trampoline. I find the trampoline exciting as it gives me the good vibes when I bounce off and on the air, it feels so refreshing and inspires me to do more despite other things hindering me like peer pressure from doing the same thing as everyone.

Character 2 : English = Coraline

HOPE
There was a scene when everything seems lost as Coraline's recklessness and due to the rats that hindered her which made her lost all of her progress and temporarily stopped from stopping the other mother. But at the least moment the moon that was about to be covered by the button suddenly stopped as the black cat somehow managed to get the last remaining stone from the rat the evaded Coraline, Giving Coraline the confidence and courage to face the other mother once more.

Why is it important to have hope? = my thoughts
so that it prevents you from feeling the following: gloomy, hopeless, despair and other things you feel at that stage in life, as it can hinder your immensely small or big. Stay positive and always be cheery.

CURIOSITY
In Coraline the film, a particular scene was perfectly fitting for the word curiosity, as Coraline is always curious about things and how it can useful for her which gives her advantages. For Instance we see this when she was given the 'looking stone' which helped her curiously find the three stones that were preventing  the ghost children from being free instead giving them endless suffering

What is important about Curiosity = my perspective
when questioning a lot of things can have its benefits for example you may learn something new instead of the usual thing people teach you, also it can provide huge benefits like getting jobs that gives you a reasonable amount and something you like to do.

STRANGENESS = My choice
The black cat through out the film from my point of view, seemed like he was strange and mysteries as he just pops in whenever he desires and can also fade away. We see this when Coraline was apologizing from her wrong doings to the cat in which he slowly forgives her but in like a mysterious way as there was one part where he disappeared then appeared once again.

What am I learning?
I am learning about character strengths.
How does this work show my learning?
by picking 2 and making a short summary of what I think how it was portrayed in the film.
What am I wondering as result of my work?
Was there a scene that describes the word 'despair'

specific parts for some cases whilst the others do theirs.
Functions of each parts

Salivary Glands
 Produce saliva to lubricate the food to the oeseopahgus.
Oesepahgus
 is a passage way for  foods and liquids that have been swallowed into pharynx to reach the stomach.
Liver
 is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract.
Gall bladder 
 is to store and concentrate bile.

 is to carry bile from the gall bladder and empty it into the upper part of the duodenum.
Large Intestine 
 is to absorb water from the remnants of indigestible food matter.
