Book week stuff

Hey Guys
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!!!!!

More Book Stuff!!!!!

Hey Guys

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!!

Production Stuff

Hey guys I'm back, and today I'll be writing about our school production.

My favourite thing about my role was obviously acting. I know King Richard wasn't the biggest of roles, but it was still quite fun. 

The highlight for me throughout the whole production were all the jokes. I really liked that all the jokes were laughed at by the adults watching. 

What I thought was the funniest thing during the whole production, was when Cole walked up to Harrison a talked into the mike when it was on full volume. 

What I feel I could have done differently was not to have smiled as much when saying/listening to other peoples jokes while on stage. 

Anyway that's all for now. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!! 

ALBERT EINSTEIN QUOTE!!!!

Hey guys I'm back, 
and today I will be writing (a small amount) about a Albert Einstein Quote.

The quote is (as you can see to your left) "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." The reason I like this quote by Albert Einstein is because he is saying that it's ok to make mistakes, and that means a lot coming from one of the smartest men in all time. I like most of Albert Einstein's quotes because they are mostly funny or proving that anyone can be a genius

Well that's all for now, byeee.

Fighting cancer With space research?

Hey guys I'm back.
And today I will be writing about a new space thing that's happening right now. 

Galaxies have been analysed using machine learning algorithms. The same
technology  has now been applied to cancer images as well.

So I was told to go on to NASA's blog and find something new that was happening and research about it. And I found this which caught my attention. nnn

Every day, NASA spacecraft beam down hundreds of petabytes of data, all of which has to be codified, stored and distributed to scientists across the globe. For the past 15 years these techniques have revolutionized biomedical research. On September 6, 2016, JPL and National Cancer Institute renewed a research partnership through 2021, making so that data science that originated in space exploration is now supporting cancer discoveries.

In the time they have worked together, JPL and EDRN‘s efforts have led to the discovery of six new Food and medicine Administration-approved cancer biomarkers and nine biomarkers approved for use in Laboratory Improvement Amendments labs. The FDA has approved each of these biomarkers for use in cancer research and diagnosis. These biomarkers have been used in more than 1 million patient diagnostic tests worldwide.

Well that's all for now guys, there is more in the article but most of it is more about other types of data rather from the cancer research. BYE!!!

SPACE INQUIRY!!!

Hey guys I'm back, and today I will be writing about a space activity that I have completed.

The space activity that did was the maths activity which was to figure out my weight on every planet in our solar system. I don't want to bore with a bunch of maths... but I will. I got the equation mass x gravity = weight, but I was also told that your weight isn't your mass. So I divided my weight by earths' gravity and got my mass. Then I multiplied my mass to the gravity of all the different planets. 

Honestly there wasn't too much to enjoy about this task. It was slightly funny to see my weights on other planets, but that was it. In this task I learned how gravity is measured, how to figure out my mass and I roughly remember the different gravity of other planets. I didn't really learn any more skills because it was just a maths activity.

Well that's all for now, BYE!!!

Time management skills? (what time management skills?)

Hey guys, I'm back.

And today I will be writing about my time management skills. I know I know, you'll all be like, "DJ, You don't have any time management skills (let alone any)." And I'll say,
"Well, you may be right, but I'm making this post anyway.

Time management is extremely important for all people. It's a basic life skill that everyone needs to master. Especially when you get to points in your life through out and after college. I think my time management skills are alright. I always finish my tasks either before or on Friday (unless I'm sick during the week). I take a few tasks home everyday and I do most of my tasks at home. When I have time I try to complete as many tasks as I can at school, but I admit I do at times mess around with my friends. I do think most of the time I'm making the most of the time I have, but sometimes I do mess around a bit. Some things that help me concentrate are not friends distracting me. What I do to stay concentrated is to tune out of everything and just focus on my work.

Well that's all for. Seeya.
