Story

As Kodi ducked from the flying cookie pad, he saw where it was heading. As the cookie pad rolled down the hill Kodi thought  that he would be sneaky and act like it never happened. As the boys arrived at class they saw that Travis was telling Miss Mills. Miss Mills told them that at lunch they had to go down there and find it other wise they would pay for it. When they were down there they noticed three boys who were hiding in the bush with a scooter. Kodi and Matt frantically chased them

Self Defense.

Over the past day and a half all of the year eight girls did a self defense course. In this self defense course we learnt about our safety and how to protect ourself. We did a series of punches and couple of different types of kicks. We also found out about simple items that we could use as weapons.

Some of the easy weapons could be a comb, a pencil, spray bottles and also car keys. We got taught  the hammer punch which is where you hit the person in the face like a hammer your arm also looks like a hammer at the same time. We also got taught the simple punch which is just a normal punch you can use it in many different areas like the face, neck, stomach and the nuts.

We got taught three different types of kicks, the simple kick, the ballerina kick and the backwards kick. The simple kick is when you just kick, your foot has to be facing up and you are trying to kick with the ball of your foot. The ballerina kick is where your toes are arched like in ballet, this kick is used to kick into the grond area. The final kick is the backwards kick which is where you kick backwards the aim of it is so that if someone grabs you from behind you kick there shin and then stomp onto there foot so that they will let go of you and drop so you have enough time to run away and get help.

We got told about DNA. DNA is mucous, blood, hair, finger prints and lots more. If someone tried to kiss you then you would have DNA from where they kissed you. If you were in a situation where this happened then you would leave it there or wipe it into your top or spit it into a cup. You would do this because to find the person who did this the police would need to get some DNA. It is really easy to get some DNA. If you hit someone with a rock you would need to put the rock in your pocket and then take it to the cops so then they could find the person.

Later on we got told stories about little girls who have actually experienced this stuff and actually made there way out. Also there were other stories were the girls didn't survive. These thing happen all the time. People experience this stuff all the time. We got told that all of these older people who do it are cowards and it is sick how they are doing it to younger girls it proves that they don't have the guts so they go for little girl.

Troy was laying.
"Hey Tom lets go into the dairy and stuff a whole lot of lollies down our tops and then run out!" Troy explained. "Sure meet at six," Tom replied.
At six the boys walked down to the dairy and walked right to the back where all the lollies were kept they slowly stuffed them down there tops until they had no room left. They then ran out of the shop and down the road and into a bush. As the boys arrived home they noticed a cop car sitting in there driveway. "O my gosh this can't be good." The boys slowly said. As they walked in the door there he was standing right there in front of him a cop. "Did you or did you not just go and stell lollies from that dairy down the road?" The tall man with handcuffs  asked the boys. They slowly looked at each other and said No. But they all new they did.

Inferring

Matthew was lonely.
Matthew is a boy with dark brown hair, he wears baggy ripped pants and a sloppy shirt that he wears everyday. Matthew is generally by himself and found in an ally or on his way home from the video store. He doesn't like to go out much and stays as low profile as possible.

Kyle was excited about maths.
Kyle is very interested in his education. He always wears a tucked in collard shirt with red suspenders, he has to wear glasses because he doesn't have a very good eye sight. Every morning his favourite thing to do is get out his calculator. It is like his brain is on auto pilot and he can multi task and go swimming and do maths at the same time.

Connor was terrified of answering the phone.
As he walks towards the classroom he knows that his biggest nightmare is sitting right inside waiting for him to arrive.

Daniel Tammet

Daniel is a savant which is an artistic person with extremely good abilities. Savants normally have a disability. It is extremely rear to be savant there are only 52 in the world, none of them are like daniel though. Daniel has a very small disability where as the other 51 savants in the world have a bigger disability. Daniel is really good at math and also has a huge memory.
For several weeks daniel studied pi which goes on to infinity, he studied 1000 numbers per page. He then memorized them all and went and read them all out in his mind he got to 22,000 and then stopped.
Scientist find him very interesting and study him to find out how we can become like him and have such a big brain capacity.

Weekend Poem

As the weekend goes by,

I feel trapped inside with no fresh air,

just the smell of the claurine.

As we jump into the pool a shiver goes up my spin,

the temperature drops and I begin to swim.

I love the water I am in it nearly every day, 

I really just like to splash and play.

The day went on forever even in the hottest weather.

Lunch is the best part of the day we went across the road for a play.

Kiwi yo is even better it really went well with the weather. 

The day came to an end, so I went and hoped in bed, 

can't wait for the weekend to come again I am getting ready to play.

Last two days

Over the past two days Miss Campbell was sick and we had a reliever called Mrs V. Miss Campbell still had set work for us and to add to that Mrs V had some extra work for us to do. First off she told us that she has an excellence list and to get our names on there we had to be quiet a lot and do lots of work.
Maths  Miss Campbell put some work on maths rotation tasks, and Mrs V, had some extra work for us.
Reading For reading we had to do our novel study and Read theory, and Mrs V had some work sheets for us to do.
We had these work sheets that we got to do when we had spare time. She had colouring ones, word searches and shapes that you had to cut out and stick together.

Bullying

I haven't experienced getting bullied.  But I think that a lot of it normally has something to do with jealousy or it is friends who have just got into a fight. When friends try to bully other friends they normally don't do it face to face they do it over a chatting website like Facebook or Skype. People do that because they do not want to do it face to face because it could get physical.

I think that bullying is just a way of having a go at someone because they have done something that you do not like. Bullying can turn out to be very serious and people can end up dead. Some people get told to go jump off of a bridge, so that is what they actually go and do.

43% of teenagers die from bullying ever year. I think that bullies should be given a warning and then if they continue to bully that same person they should talk to there parents about it and maybe involve the school in it and maybe even the principal. Bullying is something that happens lots and lots I think that it should come to a stop. Bullying is something that you don't know how to control it and people need to come to a solution.

fitness in the mornings.

For.
* It keeps you fit and active in the mornings.
* It gives us a break from working and we are sortive having a brain break.
* It is a good way to get fresh air and refresh yourself.
Against.
* A lot of us do not enjoy having to get into your P.E gear just for fitness which only goes for like 15minutes.
* It is really hard and it is not enjoyable.
* It can be boring doing it constantly every morning.
*In winter it is way to cold and kids shouldn't have to run because they could get sick.
*No teachers run with us so they do not know what it is like and a lot of us find that unfair

Mathematics is better than Writing.

For
* Maths is really big in life and we use it heaps like in our everyday life jobs.
*Maths is one of the biggest subjects that people focus on because you need it to get through life.
Against
*Writing is can be very creative and take you into another world.
* If you want to be a journalist than writing is better because you write all the time.

Things that annoy me

*My brother Travis annoys me because whenever he gets told to do something it gets done an hour later. I find my brother annoying because when I am on my computer he knows that if he asks to go on it, I get told that it is time to get off. Also when he is on the xbox and I tell him to turn the volume down he ignores me but instead he turns it up. Plus he has unusual out of the blue fits and breaks things. 

*Another thing that annoys me is people talking fast. When you talk fast what is the point in it do you know that people can't understand you talking fast. Talking fast is not necessary I think that it proves you are nervous to speak or you just actually don't want people to hear what you are saying. 

*The last thing that annoys me is bad hair days when you have those bits of hairs that just don't go the right way.

Bananas are better than Oranges

For.
*Bananas are an easy and quick to eat so then if you have other things to do then you only are wasting like 30 seconds eating an banana.
*Bananas dont need to be chopped up you can just peel it and then eat it where as with oranges you have to cut them up.
Against.
*Bananas are not nice because I personally don't like the taste of them.
*Bananas go rotten really easily so if you bumped them on something they go brown and if you dont eat them within 3 days they are rotten.
*Oranges are more filling so if you are hungry you are better off to eat the banana.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality

Augmented Definition

Augmented Reality Definition

Augmented reality or AR is an *enhanced version of reality.

(*Improved or better.)

Researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen of computer screen and blending them into real world. This is called augmented reality or ar for short. It blurs the line between what’s real and whats on the computer by enhancing what we see, hear, smell and feel.  

Augmented reality is changing the way we view the world or they way we see the world. So lets say you were walking down the street the ar which will eventually look like normal glasses, will appear and will *coincide with whatever you see.  

(*Occur at or during the same time. )

Computer Gaming

Computer gaming is good for people.

Language

This week we are learning a language, we got split up into two different classes, at the moment I am  in Mandarin. We have learnt how to count up to ten and we have also learnt our phone numbers. We have six lessons that we need to do so far we have only done two. We are going to learn how to say our names, counting, saying simple sentences and we might even try some food. I am looking forward to learning more about Mandarin and the people themselves and what they eat.
