Mai+Phan's+Introduction

__** Welcome to Mai's Community Project Home Page :) **__  Throughout term three, year 8s have been investigating about our community. The investigation in this topic includes:

**__Sose Project__** (click here to find out more) For Sose, in groups of 5 or 6, students investigated the suburbs of Maribyrnong. These included Footscray, West Footscray, Yarraville, Seddon, Kingsville, Braybrook, Maribyrnong and Maidstone. We also researched about the Marybyrnong council and what they do. In the end we were given a client of which we had to create a profile of.

The Maths task was to find a house for sale in the maribyrnong city. The house must be suitable for our given client, in my case: a retired couple on a centrelink pension. We then had to investigate the area of the rooms and the total house, find the scale to the house, calculate its dimensions, identify the shapes of the rooms... etc.

Investigating a local natural habitat, in my case the Iramoo Grasssland, including its animals and plants. This includes a food web, information on first second and third order consumers, sorting out prey and predators, different sorts of diets including herbivore, carnivore and omnivore... and much more.

__** English Project **__ (click here to find out more) The english project was a creative task where students had to write about their ideal home. This could be a piece of writing describing their ideal home, a house they use to own or have once stayed at or a house of the future. I chose to write about a house of the future...

By the end of the project, I learnt many things about the Maribyrnong city and it's council. For maths, I learnt how to figure out the cost of carpet for a pacific area. In science I learnt the name of a few grassland ecosystem species and in English I had fun writing a narrative :)  (Back to 8c's community project home page)
