Roland: welcome to the amethyst class news my name is Roland and we will be
giving our class assembly as a news cast.
|
Mr. Y: Good morning Bush hill park we have lots of news to get to so let’s
start with special field reporter Salman who is talking to a team that is
constructing a new building in Enfield
|
Salman: Thank you Mr. Y, I’m here with a few of the workers
who have been hired to build the new sky scrapper in Enfield. Andre you are
the site manager can you tell us why you chose this particular area of the
city to build on.
|
Andre: yes absolutely, you see at first this particular lot was £500,000
but the price was reduced by 50%
|
Salman: wow 50% that sounds like a great deal! How much did
you end up paying for the lot?
|
Andre: We had to first find out what 50% was as a fraction, we found out
that the fraction was ½ and ½ of £500,000 is £250,000
|
Salman: great now let’s talk to Rhiana about the size of the sky scrapper,
Rhiana what can you tell us
about the size of the building
|
Rhiana: the building
will take up 1500M² as it will be 100M in length and 500M in width, and with our
expert in Volume we know exactly how much physical space the building will
take up.
|
Karol: since we already know the length and width of the building, in order
to find the total volume of the building we need to add the height of the sky
scrapper, which is 100M tall making the volume 500,000M³
|
Salman: Thanks Karol, now on to the building’s designer
Dilek, what can you tell us about the looks of the building?
|
Dilek: the building will have symmetrical triangular design on each side of
the building.
|
Salman: Can you show us how you made sure that it was the
same symmetrically?
(Dilek shows how to reflect
a triangle)
Fascinating! Back to you
Mr. Y!
|
Mr. Y: Thank you Salman, can’t wait to see the building when it is done!
Up next we’ll talk to our
expert in plants, Zyrone
|
Zyrone: Thank you Mr. Y, today we are going to talk about the different
parts of the flower. There are two different parts of the flower, the male
reproductive parts and the female as well.
The male parts or the
Stamen of the flower are the : anther, filament and pollen
The female parts or Carpel
include the : stigma, style and ovary
These parts help the flower
make pollen and allow insects like bees to collect and spread it to others.
|
Mr. Y: thanks zyrone very insightful
|
Arif: trees and plants aren’t that different, a tree is like a plant that
is really big and has massive roots that stretch for metres under the ground.
Trees help us breath by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
|
Mr. Y: thank you Arif! now onto MAtey who is with Suhayb we're all ears boys
|
Matey: I’m here with Suhayb, he will tell us about how our ears allow us to
hear sound
|
Suhayb: it’s quite easy to explain and yet very elaborate.
You see sound waves enter the ear and allow the hammer to vibrate on the
anvil which sends a signal through the nerves that connect to the brain
allowing us to hear sounds.
|
Matey: very interesting indeed, can you tell us how many parts of the ear
there are?
|
Suhayb: certainly there are three parts do you know them?
|
Matey: I believe they are the outer, middle and inner ear.
|
Suhayb: that’s correct!
|
Matey: great! Back to you Mr. Y
|
Mr. Y: thank you gentlemen very
informative, next up we talk to our leading experimental scientists to find out
exactly what they have been researching
|
Elijah: in class we have been learning about different
material such as wood glass brick and plastics. These help us to build houses
and schools
|
Mr. Y: and where have you seen these materials in school? Can you give any
examples?
|
Elijah: bricks to make walls inside the school, wood to make
doors and shelves and glass to make windows.
|
Mr. Y: excellent thanks for that!
|
Rebecca: we have also been looking at what the best carrier bag would be when carrying heavy
objects
|
Charlie: we found this out by testing different carrier bags
in a fair test using a wooden dowel, some plasticine and a ruler
|
Rebecca: we filled bags with heavy materials and placed the
handles of the bag on the plasticine that was wrapped around the dowel.
|
Charlie: then we waited 20 seconds and removed the bags from
the dowel and measured how much the handles cut into the plasticine
|
Elijah: in the end it was this carrier bag that was the most comfortable as
it cut the least into the plasticine.
|
Mr. Y: Amazing research gang! Well done!
As we move on now we will
talk to Bruno, who is with an expert in eating healthy
|
Bruno: thank you Mr. Y, I’m here with Rivellah our expert in healthy eating.
What can you tell us about how to eat healthy
|
Rivellah: it is
important to eat 5 fruits and 5 veg every day, this helps our bodies as it
makes sure that we have the necessary nutrients.
|
Bruno: that’s great information, but what would you suggest as a serving
size? I have hear that one serving should fit in your hand is this true?
|
Rivellah: yes! That is correct, you have done your homework!
|
Alex: one of the nutrients we can get from food is vitamins, our body needs
these to stay healthy and fight of sickness, and we can get vitamins from
many foods like oranges, carrots and many more!
|
Jamie: another nutrient is calcium, this helps our bones get stronger, we
get calcium from dairy products like milk, yoghurt and cheese!
|
Anisa: Water script
|
Mr. Y: Wow, more great information! Thanks boys and girls! Now on to susan and Courtney who will tell
us a bit about what we have been learning in ICT with Mr. Singh

Now on to Andrea who is
reporting on Sikhism

Andrea: reads script
|
Mr. y: up next rhea who has
information about drugs
|
Rhea: I’m here to tell you that there are two types of drugs
|
Mr. Y: wait what? What do you mean?
|
Rhea: the good drug is a drug that can help your body, we call this
medicine. The bad kind can damage your body and have long term effects. We
call those drugs
|
Mr. Y: interesting, do you have any facts about drugs that our students may
find useful?
|
Rhea: gives facts
|
Mr. Y: Wow, truly fascinating facts thanks Rhea! Now on to Oliver to talk to
