Category: My Liger learning

In literacy class this first round of year four I’ve learned about the Vietnam war. In class, we also read a poem called “inside out and back again”. I’ve read lots of articles about the Vietnam war and also read a lot of parts of the poem “inside out and back again”. We read those articles and to understand it more we have to find evidence and understand the word tone. We have done lots of quick write and lots of homework to understand more about the article. “Inside out and back again” is a fictional poem but it’s about the Vietnam war and it also includes some facts about the war. I have also improved my writing skills. I’m happy to see myself improving my skill and I also hope to do it better every time.

In science this round I’ve learned about Newton’s law of motion. There are three law in Newton’s law of motion. The first law is about force of motion. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object’s motion will not change unless an unbalanced force acts on the object. If the object is at rest, it will stay at rest. If the object is in motion, it will stay in motion. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. The inertia of an object depends on its mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia. To overcome inertia, an unbalanced force must be applied to an object. The second-newton laws of Motion are about Acceleration, Force, and Mass. Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object equals the net force acting on the object divided by the object’s mass. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling on an object of a given mass. It equals the mass of the object (in kilograms) times the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2). The third Newton laws of motion are about Action and Reaction. Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Momentum is a property of a moving object that makes it hard to stop. It equals the object’s mass times its velocity. When action and reaction occur, momentum may be transferred from one object to another, but their combined momentum remains the same. This is the law of conservation of momentum. Moreover, then Newton’s laws, we have learned about Fluid Forces and Work and Machines. Finally, we had an opportunity to do an experiment about Fluid Force with eggs and glass bottles here you can take a look!

In literacy, this round is independent work. Actually, our teacher has tasks for us to do but we just have to manage our time for the tasks, what day will you do it? 

What time will you do it? And, why are you doing it? I like this type of study because I can manage my time about my task and I also have some free time at night with my friends. This doesn’t give me a rush because I have more time to do it but before my class changes the pattern I was always in a rush and I have homework every night. So what did I do in my independent work? I did HICC, reading skill and novel reading. HICC is How I change Cambodia. This is how I share with people what did I change my country even in a small way. In reading skill time I need to read and do some exercise to warm up my brain for literacy and at least read something for a day. For novel reading, each student has to pick a book to read and after the students read their book they have to do book report to show what did they read and what did they have learned from the book.

In math class this round I’ve learned about algebra, negative number and integers, coordinate graphs, rate and last but not least, speed. Algebra is a type of math that we solve problems with number and letter, example: x + 2 = 8, find the value of x. Algebra is also mean to find the value of the letter. 

Negative numbers and integers, negative number is a number that less than 0 and it goes to the left of the line. Integers are the numbers that have the value more than -1 and it goes to the right of the line. 

Coordinate graph is a graph that we use to locate point. A number on the x-axis called an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate. 

Rate is a graph that shows the change of number. We use rate to see and to show how the value of thing change and some company use rate to see how the business go.

Speed is the distance that we traveled per unit of time. It tells how fast an object move.  The higher speed the faster it a thing move.

HOORAY! It’s been a round of study but hmmm what did I learn in literacy class. For this round, I’ve learned a lot about happiness. What is happiness? How can we achieve it? Why it is important? I watched a video about a happy man. I hope you know Mr. happy man. He is a really happy man. He went to the road every day to say Hi! and to say I love you. He said, “People may be happy when they know that they are loved by someone.” A girl that ride past that road every day said “ In the morning I was made, On my way to work I saw a man who stays near the road and waving at other people and says I love you. First I pretend that I didn’t see him because I was made but I can’t control myself. When I look at him I feel better. I feel like this old man can smile why I can’t and I know that love me and I feel really happy because I know that I’m loved by someone.” After watching the video it’s inspired me to smile more, don’t think about problems too much and don’t forget to show people that you love them so that they make feel better when they drop down. I’ve also written an essay about how to be happy. Let’s see what did I write.

 

How to be happy when you are sad

Everyone in this world has this one feeling which is sadness. Sadness is emotional pain. And I know that it’s hard to control yourself when you are sad. When people talking about funny things or joke but it seems like those are not joking to you at all. Everyone has that one feeling. Don’t you worry it’ll be fine. Below are the ideas of “ how to be happy?”

Talk to a friend about your problem.

For me whenever I feel sad I’ll always talk to my best friend and if you feel the same way please try to talk to your friend, the one that you feel close with to share your story. Also when you are taking with them it’s okay for you to cry because crying can also release your sadness. When I talk to some about my problem I feel like someone know about me. They know that I’m sad they know what happened to me. Sometimes the person that you talk to may have the same problem as you and you may know each other more.

Listen to music

Sometimes talking to a friend just talking with a friend is not enough you need to open your mind and think about something happy or the good thing that may happen in your future. You can also try to listen to your favorite music, or do what you like to do, and sometimes you may think about the fun times that you have been through. For me, I live with another friend so when they are having a joke or story to share I might just go and listen to them maybe the story is so good that I may forget that sadness.  

Be Happy with what you have

Amanda Bynes has said, “People should find happiness in the little things, like family.” When you are sad and you want to be happy, know that you are lucky that you are alive. There are many atoms that chasing you to get born and grow and being a human and they didn’t get it but you get it. Always remember that you are lucky and you are the best and happy with it. Tell yourself that you should be happy because you are alive. Always to remember that there are reasons to be happy but you may not notice it so thinks about what you have and be happy about it.

I didn’t learn much from technology and multimedia this round because is not at school very often. She went to China with some students for the robotic competition and she has been to other trip and camping with other students and some week we stem and that why I didn’t learn much from technology and multimedia. In class, the teacher told us to pick a lesson that we have learned to make a small product for her. After that I’ve thought of editing video in premiere pro I’ve learned about it and I want to improve it and also I’ve just known some new thing about it that my friend just told me and I want to practice using it. I’ve also explored a lot in premiere pro and sometimes I destroy my own video. I’ve made a one minute video about Outdoor leadership trip. Edit video is not just about editing it also about learning and having fun with your memory and to be happy with your product.
