Hey Guys
I'm back with another blog post. And today I will be writing about four (some-what) interesting plant facts. Plants are living organisms which need to be pollinated and need food and energy to survive.
1. Plants live on a very different time scale. For them time is accelerated. That's why they grow so quickly.
2. Plant's seeds travel in many different ways. They travel through wind, water and animals. Some wind seeds travel with propellers and water seeds with life rafts.
3. The colour of a plant can help determine what type of animals of insects visit to pollinate the plants. You can tell through colours like green, yellow, etc.
4. Plants have different genders. Most plants have different parts for the male and female part. The male section gives pollen, while the female receives pollen and fertilises the eggs for the plant.
Ok well that's all for now, byeee!!

I'm back and today I'll be writing about how my term goals have been going. The term has just gone flying out the window. To me it still feels like the second week of term and now we're already writing about our goals.
My academic goal for this term was to get the excellence badge which I'm happy to say I now have. Usually just forget most of the things I have done during the term/year like test scores and other things like that. My Catholic character goal this term was to say a rosary every week (unlike every other term where it was to be a better catholic character member). So far I've been completing this goal. My cultural goal is to speak more Maori in everyday situations like saying hello or thanks. So far I haven't been keeping up to well with this goal, but i shall start trying a bit harder now. My physical goal was to get into the inter-zones for discuss, but sadly I didn't make the qualifying distance (but then again, neither did anyone else at the northern-zones).
Well that's all for now. BYE!!!

I'm back and today I'll be writing about how my speech is going. My speech is about comedians. The main idea of the speech is inform the listeners about comedians, but if I can crack a few laughs out of the audience that would be good as well.
I'm reasonably prepared for the speech, still trying to decide if I want que cards or not. I have made them though.
What I need to work most with my presentation is to make more eye contact with everyone and to make more hand gestures.
Well that's all for now, bye.!!!!!!!

I'm back and today I will be writing about our book week!!! The book week in general was pretty good. I know from experience that other book weeks weren't as successful (especially when it came to people shouting out the answers in the quiz).
The Author that visited our school was Fifi Colston. She is also an illustrator who's drawings look extremely good. when Fifi was young, she wasn't concerned too much about her actual school work but more on her drawings. Every spare minute she would be drawing. I also like how she always researches a lot into things if she is going to write or draw something for a book.
The book character parade was pretty cool. I liked seeing all the different costumes and how good they looked. There is only a brief amount of time to see all the costumes properly, but it was still pretty fun.
The book quiz as I said before was pretty good. The questions were interesting were very good for each age group. And it wasn't as bad as last year when they were calling out the answers.
The book swap was a great idea. It is a good way to exchange books and I definitely think it should continue for the following years. I just didn't contribute because I didn't want to bring in any baby books because I liked most of the books I already had.
Any way that's all for now, seeya!!!!!

I'm back and today I will be writing about some book stuff. Some of the good books that I have read this year are; the first three books of the Alex Rider series which are, Stormbreaker, Point Blanc and Skeleton Key. I also read some of Rick Riordan's books including the Percy Jackson series and the Red Pyramid series.
I can't clearly remember my favourite book that I read when I was young, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those weird Thomas the tank engine books. I remember the only thing I used to watch when I was really young was Thomas. Ok... lets move on.
My favourite author right now has to be Anthony Horowitz because of all the books of his that I have read this year. The Alex Rider books, Power of Five books. All by him.
It's sort of hard for me to decide what was the best book I have read this year, but my most favourite book I've read this year is the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker. This book is pretty much a James Bond book with a teen playing James Bond. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes spy books or any sorts of books really. I can't really reveal anything else about the book because I would be giving away important things. (And also I can't really remember to much of the book that aren't spoilers.)
Well that's all for now, seeya!!
