this is my SSW writing on the lost city of Atlantis

                   Atlantis the lost city

All was fine. The city lights shone in all directions and reflected on the crystal clear water in the harbour. There were buildings of all sorts, short one’s long ones and even ones with big pillars on the top. 

This was the city known as Springfield. Everyone in Springfield knew about Atlantis the lost city but they all thought it was just a myth. Except from one small boy called Arlo ( who everyone thought was bonkers even his parents !!) he thought that one day Springfield would be uprooted and the lost city of Atlantis would appear.

It was a bright summer day in Springfield as usual and the sun was blazing hot.people were playing and talking when all of a sudden everything uprooted and after a few minutes Springfield turned into Atlantis luckily no one got hurt. Only then did the people realise that Arlo wasn’t just a boy that everyone thought was bonkers he was a GOD and a MIND READER !!!! somehow Arlo didn’t know this himself until now.

People loved Atlantis and the sea creatures became best friends with them; the children even went fishing school. 

People lived in underwater apartments and skyscrapers too!!! After a few months, people started making it into a city with roads being built all over the place and improving houses. The town was busy all morning and night every day of the week 24/7. An inventor called Nicholas even created an underwater car.

Life was fine for a few months then one-night tragedy struck……

The seafloor rumbled like a gigantic earthquake and people screamed like crazy. After a few minutes, people saw a shadow of a ginormous underwater troll. His body was an ugly green colour and he had big beady eyes people tried to hide but it was no use he could see the smallest things from a mile away. Arlo saw people being squashed under the trolls feet but Arlo could tell he had no intention of doing any harm.

After a few hours all the citizens of Atlantis were never to be seen again, and the troll he lived happily for the rest of his days...

this is my explanation on how banks work

 How do banks work?

Have you ever wondered what a bank is? well, it 

is a place that keeps your money safe.  It is also a place where you can lend and take money. People can take your money from the bank but they have to pay it back to the bank and the bank will pay it back to you. This is called interest. So how exactly does a bank work?  Well, you’re about to find out!  

Paragraph 1 ( keeping your money safe)

When you open a bank account you deposit some money to the bank, this is because they can keep your money safe and give it to you later for future investments.thousands of people deposit their money to the bank and trust that the bank will keep it safe. banks keep your money in a special tightly secured place called a vault. A volt is a place that the bank keeps everyone's money they keep your money here to prevent it from being stolen so there is no need to worry about your money being robbed.

Paragraph 2 (trading/interest)

People can borrow money from you and you can borrow money from other people as well. If someone borrows money from you they have to pay it back after a year. Say for example  I receive  $600 from a festival and deposit it to my bank account. I will get 2% interest but every year I will also get 2 dollars. That way I am making money just by depositing money to the bank!

 

Paragraph 3 (savings)

After you open a bank account you will have a savings account. A savings account allows you to keep your money safe and it earns a small amount of interest each month. Banks usually offer two types of savings accounts they are a basic savings account and a money market savings account. A basic savings account will usually have either no minimum balance requirement or a low one but will offer a very low-interest rate this means that your money won’t earn that much. A money market savings account usually pays more money interest but that requires you to have more money in your account.

Conclusion 

Overall banks work with tens of billions of dollars. You can find them in pretty much any place in the world. They are great because you can store money in them and take money out when You need to. I hope you have learnt a bit more about banks from this explanation.

 

 

 

I have made this flower using trapeziums,hexagons,diamonds and triangles

I have made a  flower using trapezium diamonds, hexagons, and triangles. I have used 6/42 triangles. I know that because if you look at the shape carefully, you will see that there are 42 triangles in this shape and 6 of them are proper triangles.In this flower, there are 7 hexagons but only 1 proper hexagon. There are 14 trapeziums in this shape but only 6 proper ones. Lastly, there are 21 diamonds but only 6 proper ones.

this is my turtle made of trapeziums,triangles,hexagons and diamonds

I have made a turtle with different types of shapes. In this turtle, I  used a variety of shapes including diamonds, hexagons, triangles, and trapeziums. There are  26 diamonds but only 5 proper ones.there are also  52 triangles but only 10 that are visible straight away. There are actually 8 hexagons in this shape but only 1 is an actual hexagon. My final shape was a trapezium and I had 17 in my turtle but only 5 proper ones.
