Archimedes Writing


Along time ago an Ancient Greece there was a great mathematician
named
Archimedes.One day when he was taking a bath he discovered something life changing.When he got in some water got displaced and it overflowed over the bath tub.Archimedes discovery got  him thinking.He was so excited that he run thru the streets without any clothes on shouting  Eureka   Eureka.This meant i have found it in Greek.Archimedes figured out that if you put something in water and  it light  is then the amount of water being displayed the object will float.This is known as buoyancy or the Archimedes principle.So if an  the object can float it is buoyant.

Do you know your key competences or for short KC’S.Well if you don't know then you came to the right person.I am going to tell you what the  key competences are.

A key competence that I am good at is could Participating and
contirticipating.That mean joining in on something and giving an
answer.I am successful at it because I always join in on something
like a game and I give answers.I am successful at this key competence when the teacher is asking a question and when we
doing something or playing a game

A Key competence that I need to improve on is Relating to others.
I need to improve on Relating to Others because I need to be able
to share with others and be kind to them.Also I have to learn to
be nice to others and careful.
