Miss Ruthenberg
• Zannie Ruthenberg
• Born 1st January 1982 in Toowoomba
QLD.
• I have two brothers named Duncan (29)
and Damian (33). My parents live together
in Bundaberg QLD.
Movement
• Humans move by walking on their two legs. We
can also run, jump and hop on these legs. When
humans are infants they use both their arms and
legs to crawl.
• I get to school on my push bike. Sometimes
when I am lazy I drive to school.
• I have lived in Toowoomba, Bundaberg and
Denver in the USA before moving to Tennant
Creek.
Growth
• Humans begin life in their mother’s womb.
They are then born and become infants.
Babies then grow to become toddlers,
children, adolescents and finally adults.
Humans then age to become “mature”
aged people before becoming elderly.
Reproduction
• Humans reproduce when a sperm and an
ova meet to create a new life. This foetus
then is then carried for 9 months by its
mother before being born. Once born it
becomes a new person and grows.
Nutrition
• Humans eat things by using their mouths. Food
is first chewed in the mouth and then it goes
down the osephagus into the stomach. From
there food is ground up further and is then
digested in the small intestine.
• Humans should have a balanced diet including
lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, cereals and
bread and meat. Fatty and sugary food should
be minimised in the diet to help maintain a
healthy body.
Respiration
• Humans breathe using their lungs. Air
enters the body either through the nose or
mouth. Air is put into the bloodstream
through the lungs which the heart pumps
around the body. Blood without oxygen is
then pumped back to the lungs where
oxygen can be replaced into the
bloodstream.
Excretion of Wastes
• Humans excrete waste in 3 ways.
Unwanted air (carbon dioxide) is breathed
out of the nose or mouth. Urine gets rid of
liquid wastes in the body, mainly urea.
Feces get rid of the solid particles of the
body. Kidneys regulate the urine and liquid
wastes and filters out harmful things in the
body while the large intestines handle the
solid wastes.
Sensing
• Humans have 5 senses: Hear, see, touch,
taste and smell.
• Favourite smell: Freshly cooked pancakes
• Favourite taste: Pasta and sauce
• Favourite fabric: Cotton
• Favourite artist: Robbie Williams
• Favourite TV show: South Park
History
• I am 27 years of age and I have lived in
Cloncurry for about 9 months. Previously
to that I lived in Tennant Creek for four
years and Bundaberg where my parents
live. My grandparents now live in
Bundaberg. The other side of my family
live near Toowoomba where I spent the
first 12 years of my life.
Family Life
• I am the youngest of three children. I am
also the only girl in the family apart from
my mother. My parents gave me lots of
attention because of this. My brothers
used to pick on me. I became really close
with one of my brothers as we were pretty
close in age and we shared similar
interests.
School Life
I have attended:
• Harrisontown Primary School
(Toowoomba), preschool to year 6.
• Avoca Primary School (Bundaberg), year
6 and 7.
• Bundaberg State High School, years 8 to
12.
• Central Queensland University
(Bundaberg)

Beliefs and Values
• I believe that everyone should have the
opportunity to be free and make their own
choices. I also believe that everyone has
the right to learn in this classroom and
everyone should receive the same amount
of attention from me. There also needs to
appropriate consequences for actions to
have a fair society.
Zannie Ruthenberg
• Humans are alive as they move, respire,
reproduce, grow, excrete wastes and
sense their environments.
