The day before yesterday it was world toilet day, world toilet day is a day to help the 2.5 million of the world without toilets, that’s 40% of the worlds population. These are mostly people that live in parts of Africa. These people have to squat down in an open space to go to the toilet, for girls and women they can only go to the toilet at night where no one can see them. to see more go to www.worldtoiletday.com .

What I am doing

Posted on November 13th, 2009 in Uncategorized by Nick  Tagged , , ,

As I mentioned earlier I am doing a history project on the stone age. The group has decided that I am presenting art, music and tools. I’m going to prestent the tools as a poster so I can have lots of different types of tools on the one page. I’m going to present the art as a PowerPoint to show different types of stone age art that different cave-men drew. I’m going to present the music as a word document to read out to the class.

In our class we are doing a history project on the ancient civilisations.(Like ancient egypt and other civilisations.) The task is to put a 15-20 minute presentation together on the group subject. There are five subjects: stone age, ancient Rome, ancient greece, ancient egypt and the early towns. I’m doing a presestation on the stone age. Before anyone started all of the groups had to do a mind map using bubbl.us .

Robyn Moore

Posted on November 6th, 2009 in Uncategorized by Nick

On Thursday a woman named Robyn Moore came to our school to talk about C.R.A.P. Crap stands for cynicism, resignation, anger and procrastination. When talking to primary kids about crap Robyn calls it wham. Robyn Moore is the person who does the voice of blinky bill, Nutsy and lots of other voices. Robyn is also a volunteer for the make a wish foundation, one of her saddest stories was a boy who wanted a quad bike and just when they were going to give it to him a fishing accident happend and ended up killing his brother, father and grand-father, so they had to wait for his wish.

Athletics carnival

Posted on October 27th, 2009 in Uncategorized by Nick

A few weeks ago our school had our high school athletics carnival. Like the swimming carnival the athletics carnival is a compitition between the three houses(bridges, davis and hart.)Some of the events were discus, shot put, sprints, long distances, long jump, triple jump,high jump and javlin. I went in everything except the high jump because I accidently went with the grade sevens.(Out of all the events I could miss.) I came third in the 100m and the 200m and I got into the finals in both. Last time we heard the scores bridges were winning, davis were coming second and hart were losing.(NOOOOOOOO!)

My goals for term 3

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 in school work by Nick  Tagged , ,

In a computer lesson my teacher asked us to write three goals for term 3. There had to be one goal relating to school work, one goal about our behaviour and one goal about somthing at home.

My goal for school is to have all my school equipment together for.

My home goal is to cook dinner without burning it.

My goal for behaviour is to help my brothers co-operate better with my mum.

What I have learned this term

Posted on September 4th, 2009 in school work by Nick  Tagged ,

On the last day of term my class teacher asked us to write five things we learned this term. In maths I learned how to work out the area of different shapes like rectangles, triangles and trapeziums. I think this will be useful for the job I want to have when I am older.

 In history I learned about how important it is to learn about history and I learned about  using maps and compasses. I think these will be useful for finding my way out of the middle of nowhere and how to make maps when I have to.

In lote I have learned the basic Thai greetings such as hello, how are you and I’m fine thank you. I have also learned the body parts, fruits, vegetables, religion and even some Thai cooking. I think things like this will be useful when on a trip to Thailand so I know things like what the monks are for and how to act around the Thai people and what to do and what not to do.

In P.E I have learned sports involving rackets, using your hands, using your feet and using both. Those sports are soccer, netball, tennis, badminton and table tennis. these sports will be useful when playing them so I know the basic rules when playing them and reviewing how some people played .

In science I learned about matter,different types of cells, like animal and plant cells, the vital organs of the human and animal bodies and some of the human systems. This will be useful when doing science exams in university and other things like CPR .

Soccer

Posted on September 1st, 2009 in school work by Nick  Tagged , ,

In the class ict lesson we had to write a post about something we like for someone who has no idea what its about. My thing is soccer-soccer is the most widely played in the world. One of the most basic rules in soccer is that you can’t touch the ball with your hands unless your position is the goalie. One of the most confusing rule for me is the offside rule, it is where someone in attack can’t get the ball past the defender closest to there own goal without giving away a free kick unless you pass the ball to a player that’s already pass that defender. when the person with the ball is past the defender the whole team can have the ball past that defender. If this rule is confusing even I have trouble understanding it. If you don’t know much about soccer a good website to go to is http://www.soccer-training-guide.com/soccer-rules.html to find all the rules on soccer. If you know a fair bit on soccer a good website to go to is http://www.fifa.com/ to find out about soccer teams.

Term review

Posted on August 28th, 2009 in school work by Nick

Its the end of the term and our teacher wanted us to write a post on what subjects we think we did really well at and what we think we should try to improve next term. I think I did really well at maths, english, P.E, art, computers and music. A few problems I might have was that I talk just a little bit but I still finnished my work. The only problem I had in music would be that I forgot the chords I learned in the quiet rooms instantly.  

I think I should try to improve my lote, history and my well being all because I don’t think I finished enough work and because I talk a little to often. My problems in history would have no idea what it means.

Strange Game

Posted on August 21st, 2009 in Uncategorized by Nick

This is a review on a game called theres only one level how hard can it be.I know what your thinking, its easy and boring but there is a lot of stages with lots of different ways to get past the stage for example: stages where you need to use the mouse arrow to move your elephant and stages with no gravity. When you get to stage fifteen theres no way to open the door thingy, so theres no choice but to erase and restart. On my first try I died 723 times because of a level with a big wind that blew me into spikes while writing this post. If I had to rate it out fo 10 I would give it a 6.5 because I like the different effects and bright colours of the game but the fact of having no way to finish the game is really annoying.
