Hi Ms. Johnson,
I love the new blog style! It’s really cool!
Yesterday (Sunday) I went to the movies to see The Fault In Our Stars! It was an amazing movie and we took in tissues. I used about 4 tissues because it was such a sad story. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great story line.
-Jojo
I will have to read the review. Thanks for the tip!
Hi Ms Johnson. I just completed the dragons activity. It was really fun and interesting. See you at school!
See you tomorrow Kelsey 🙂
If the video is not coming up on the page just use the information available on the flipped classroom link. On the right hand side of the Brisbane City Council page is a transcript of the video you were to watch.

Question 3
Uncle Kevin Bond: Water very important to the Murray people. Preserving it and all that. And the amount of waste you see, it’s unreal. I can’t get over it.
Uncle Joseph William Kirk: If you looked after the water when it came down out of the sky on whatever land you had, it’s gotta run somewhere. So you’ve got to look after that, that water, that rain water that falls before it gets to the creak.
Uncle Nurden Serico: We’ve got to treat it as a precious commodity, more precious than gold, really.
Magdalena Kuyang: I really respect our water and, in, ah, Uganda where, where I lived before I came to Australia, they normally write: Water is life. And that’s very true. I love, I like that one. Water is life so we must respect water and, and make sure that it is always, you know, protected.

1) What are the four goals at the core of the strategy? A water smart community that celebrates water, is well-informed and makes decisions with water in mind. Well-designed subtropical city which embraces its waterways and is shaped by the natural movement of water. A healthy river and bay which are resilient and able to adapt to pressures and change.

2) Brisbane must become a water -smart city to ensure? Our waterways are healthy for future generations, our water resources and systems are sustainable, buildings, public spaces, roads and services demonstrate designs with water in mind
1) What are the four goals at the core of the strategy?
The four goals are to have a water smart community that is well informed, a well designed subtropical city the embraces the waterways, a clean river and bay that adapts to changes like pressure changes and to have sustainable water for the future generations.
2) Brisbane must become a water -smart city to ensure?
To ensure liveabilty here withg the population growing fast so that we won’t have to worry about the future generations. So it is to insure we have plenty of clean water for the increase of population and for the future generations
3) List some of the cultural perspectives about water.
The cutral perspectives are all about how they use water like one of them said that they fished in it, swam in it, wased they’re cloths in it. Some people like Uncle Nurden Serico thinks that is more important than gold which I think is true.
From Nathan 🙂
1. What are the four goals at the core of the strategy?

Most rivers or creeks all in different countries, were used to fish in or play in with your family.Water’s most use is that most countries and people drink the water.

hello Ms Johnson
I was experimenting with the links, I’v done Foul Food Maker this is a very fun game, Random or Not, this is also a very good game as it’s fun!!
i had fun exploring the links
-Hayley
Great news Hayley 🙂
Hi Ms Johnson,
Food Maker wasn’t very fun it was boring and I engaged during the activity but it was boring.
Hi Ms. Johnson,
I have just completed the Foul Food Maker game. I found that the meals they gave me were very rarely correct. The one time that they said and made the same meal was when ALL of the buttons said the same meal (the meal that they gave me).
It was fun experimenting with probability.
Also, yesterday I did the Fruit Jube Factory game. The machine made 2 packets of fruit jubes before it broke down! I had to make a packet by hand, and I had 5 penguins, 4 frogs and 3 fish. I found that the most common amount of the same in a packet (say the most common was frogs, and there were 6 frogs in the packet, 4 fish, and 2 penguins) was 5. 400 in every 1000 that they make have 5 of at least one thing.
Both of these activities were very interesting, and I am now moving onto Rent v. Buy.
-Jojo
So far I have done the Fruit Jube Factory and the Food Maker, they both were interesting at the beginning but after a few minutes of playing them I found it repetative, simple and boring. But I did like the food them in both of the games.
-Christian
Hi Ms Johnson. I have done Foul Food Maker. It was great at explaining the concepts as it show the percentage, decimal, fraction and it portrayed the results in a graph. I would rate how enjoyable and engaging it was as a 3 out of 5.
Sounds good Joanna.
I have done the food maker it was a fun game and i did the fruit jube factory and it was also a fun game
:)_Neta_:)
I found that Food maker was easy as it was the same sort of thing every time but it was fun and GROSS!
Hi Ms Johnson again 😛 ,
I just did Fruit Jube Factory. I like choosing which Jubes to put in to a bag. My favourite Jube was the purple penguin. I engaged and had fun.
Ms Johnson,
I explored and finished Foul Food Maker and I believe it is very easy and I have now lost my appetite! This game is not hard to complete.
-Madajah
🙂
I looked at the food maker link, and it was a fun, yet a simple game.
I also watched the Rent vs Buy link and it was interesting how renting and buying gave benefits and non- benefits through money.
Fruit Tube Factory is Fun and Fruity! 🙂
I had just tried the division, it was interesting and a fun way to teach division, and I believe it is pretty effective, however it does become platitudinous after a bit.
-Christian
I have completed the Foul Food Maker activitey, It was fun!
I really enjoy probability, the game made alot of sense.
I look foward to completing the other tasks.
-Mikee 🙂
The Division Activity is a bit more complex than the first 2 but I liked it.
rent vs buy was a good activity
Hi Ms Johnson I also did the Division Activity which was fun and engaging. I would rate it a 4 out of 5.
Hi Ms Johnson
I did all the maths games except the rent v buy. I thought they were a bit easy and I didn’t really engage in them. I probably should of tried rent v buy. They were really different games. I think in the division game we shouldn’t of chose the sum.
Kahlia
Hi Ms Johnson,
I did the Fruit jube factory game and it very interesting. I already know a lot about probability, but it would help if I didn’t.
I also did Foul food maker and it was pretty easy too. I liked how it showed the table and broke it down.
Thank you
Jasmin 🙂
I did enjoy experimenting new games though 🙂
Hi Ms Johnson
I did the fruit Jube factory game and it was intresting game wise but I thought it was too easy so I thought it was a bit boring.
From Nathan
Hi Ms Johnson,
I did Fruit Jube Factory it was so easy, and I had little fun. About to come back in 5 minutes! See you then
Morgan
Hi Ms Johnson
I thought it was easy.

I Did everything except Division.
