If you wish to be me, your day will start around 7:50 with a flicker of lights and your mother yelling at you to get out of bed. After you've rolled out of bed you should seek your uniform from your closet, most mornings its to cold so you can take the covers with you, but this is optional. Once your changed out of your pajamas and are into your fancy uniform you need to walk down the hall, greet your mother with a fake smile and happy voice, otherwise some day she won't wake you up. Now you should be walking down your hall into the kitchen and put your bread into the toaster and wait for it to finnish, you can walk away and do something else at this time, but this is optional.
Once your toast is done put it on a plate, grab your lunch box and bag then sit down in front of the TV and begin your feast. While you are eating you can pack your bag this is a bit of your daily multitasking. When you have finished you meal try to con your mother to drop you off by putting on a sad face and act like your freezing.

Quick story
I was woken all of a sudden when I feel out of my bed and into a pool of water as I looked around I realized its wasn't my pool it was and stream floating me down stream. I looked around for something I could use to help me float, I saw a wooden some wooden planks floating next to some village hut I swam over to the wooden planks, and noticed something was moving inside the hut something big. All of a sudden a huge hippo snapped out of the hut with a "Harf". I was scared, I had never seen a hippo before, I grabbed the nearest thing I could find, sadly It was some grass, hippos eat grass. The hippo started to come close and close as I was throwing my fist of grass at him.
Now he was about two meters away from me, His jaws snapping his eyes staring straight at me. He lunged at me but I moved and the hippo feel in the water. I furiously swam to the side of the stream where I could hear sirens and cars. Where I was over there, The cops looked at me like I was a criminal I looked back to the hut and to where the hippo had feel in there was nothing there. all that was there was a old village hut nothing at all.

Visit to Room 43
Yesterday me and some other students from my class got and exclusive tour of the new room 43. The students were moved cause their old classroom had burned down caused of a airconditioner that over heated and started a fire. Their new classroom was brought in by a huge truck that carried it in down the drive.
It took the builders about three weeks to build the classroom, it is much better than the ones that the rest of us have, it has much nicer carpet and it feels much warmer. All the students were very nice and well behaved, unlike some people I know. Bobbie Gave us the tour and showed us all of the students individual spaces. It was very cool to see how the other half lives.

Homework challenge
E2. Create an original artwork using recycled materials
At the start of this challenge I though that I would cut out a word in paper then thinly get it smaller and put the smaller piece below the first piece of paper over and over again to give a 3D effect. As I did not have the tools to cut the paper to get the end effect I then remembered some art I had seen of words that gave a shadow and decided to try and make that. To make this I thought of using an empty Heineken box some paint and some tape.
It took me about two weeks to do this, I cut out the letters C, O, O and L then I painted the cardboard white and the cut out letters in grey. We did not have the paint so we went to Mitre 10 and got some test pots. It wasn't easy to get the grey as they don't have a color grey they have things like "north sky"and "Wellington" these are weird names for paint to me. Once painted and all dry I then had to glue the letters to cardboard and attach these to the back side of the box and then fold the lid over so it formed a box again. This was to give the impression that the letters were shadowed and this is what I got.
Here are some photo's of it.

My Weekend
In my weekend unfortunately it all didn't go as I had planned it to, what I wanted to do this weekend was play computer games and watch tv but I had other things I needed to do, like my homework challenges. One of the funny things that happend was when I was about to go bike down to Gordon Spratt park, my mum was backing the car out of the garage and hit one of the side mirrors on the garbage bin, but its wasn't my mums car it was my dads and when he found out he was furious but he was trying to smile so he was biting his lip.
At the point I decided to go on my ride but only made it a quarter of the way when my bikes chain broke in three places. I had to walk home pushing my bike but what I didn't know was I had my back brake on, you"ll find it hard to believe, but I didn't really notice till I was back home. When I was back home I had Dad take a look to see if there was any thing he could see wrong, surprisingly dad jumped on and tried to ride it thinking that there was nothing wrong with it but sadly the brake was still jammed on so when he was on he just fell straight off, oh how I laughed.

Today on the 26-05-2013 I was all geared up for a bike ride down to gordon spratt park and back, Mum was going to race me while she was walking the dog. As mum went to back out of the garage she hit one of the side mirrors on the rubbish bin and broke it, my dad looked so angry cause it was his car. Once we got the broken mirror removed Mum and the dog headed off. Dad fixed my handle bars then I took off as well.
Unfortunately I only got a quarter of the way there to hear a huge "CLUNCK" and my chain had come off, after fixing it twice I found that it was completely broken and had to turn around and walk home. Now I will have to get my chain fixed so I can finnish this challenge within the 12 weeks.

Extinct Animals
The animal I have chosen to say is the pilosaurus ( Predator X)
This animal was from the Late Jurassic period and was a feared killer in the Europe oceans. This creature was 10 to 20 meteres long its head is about two meteres alone and weighed over 45 tones and could swim over 5 meters a second with its huge flippers attached to its body. Its happy to say that this killer is no longer swimming in our oceans.

Homework Task
P5. Compete in a sport of an entire season
One of the sports that I play and that I have played since the age of five is soccer. I have loved the game ever since I first started. My position that I play in is defense, I usually play on the right wing. Although I don't score goals my position is very important in keeping my team at the top of the table, my job is to stop the oppositions strikers from getting the ball into a position to attack our goalie. I play for Papamoa I have been in reserve grade Papamoa Tigers ever since we first got grades at the age of six.
My team the Papamoa Tigers last year won our grade and in past years have come close. I got a medal last year for fair play. I have been in this team in reserve grade with the same coach but not the same team for over 5 years. I think I've got a really good coach. I have trainings on Thursday and we play games on Saturday. This year the first four games we play are grading games for the 12/13 year olds and after that the competition will start. Just last Saturday we got smoked by this really really good team, I think they were the Otumoetai premiere team last year, they won the 12/13 grade last year and they were all only 12.
I hope the teams we have to verse in the future won't be as good as them. At the moment my soccer team is being tested to see if we should be in the premiere grade on in the reserves. I hope we can make it into reserves because that Otumoetai team will probably win again and we want a shot at winning.
--------------Here are some photos of my medals from soccer and some in game photos---------------

The Periodic table
The Periodic table is a graph of elements that form our world. There are ten groups of these elements the groups are
Basic Metal,
Non-metal,
Alkali metals,
Alkali, Earth metals,
Semimetals,
Noble gasses,
Halogens,
Transition Metal,
Actinoids and
Metalloids. In total there has been 118 total elements discovered this is very strange to me there are soo many of them but we can't even see them. I think that some day there will be way more of them discovered, I hope I discover one.Homework Task
S4. Care for younger children: Organise a series of games or activities for younger siblings or neighbors or teach them a dance or instrument
On Monday the 20th of May after school I went to my dad's friends house to teach his eight year old daughter Erina a computer game called Minecraft. Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night zombies, huge spiders, Skeletons and Creepers come out, so you have to make sure to build a shelter before that happens. This is no easy challenge and you need to use all sorts of skills to survive. Erina was wanting to learn as much as she could about playing the game so she could get better and be able to move up the levels in the game.
Erina knew a little bit about the game but she didn't know all the little tips and tricks to making things easier. Over two hours I showed her how to get the items to craft the tools that you need to survive, how to build safer homes and better designs for homes, and how to connect certain blocks using redstone to make wonderful contraptions like traps secrete doors and even songs. Erina had created an olympic arena which was very basic she was now able to improve on this after I've helped her.
At the end of the two hours Erina was having a great time creating and improving the worlds she had created. When she is ready to start to build more advanced creations I have said that I would go back to show her more. This is likely to be in the next couple of weeks.

Science Experiment
Science Experiments
One of my pervious science experiments that I can remember is when I was in primary I did a baking soda volcano. I got all the stuff I need in a kit that I had got for christmas. I put the clay into the mold then waited for it to dry and when it had dried I painted it brow red and yellow this took me about one day. The next day I started to record so I could show it at school. I put the baking soda in said hypothesis which was that the two ingredients would combine and cause it to foam up then I pored the vinegar in and the reaction happened it started to foam up and foam over the miniature volcano my hypothesis was correct.

Camp
Camp blog post
In the first week of term two room 42 and room 41 when to camp here are some of my best moments
At camp I am most proud that I did the rabbit run, which is when you run across the field while the parents and Mr hart is shooting paint balls at you. It hurt after I had did it but while I was running I couldn't feel a thing.
Also at camp believe it or not at camp I willingly went for swim in 6ยบ water, even though it was cold It was still pretty fun.
It made me laugh when Caine was sleep talking about loosing his keys, all when could hear was "WHERES MY KEYS!".
The bigest challenge I had was doing the vertical playpen its pretty much a bunch on tires and wood thats in the shape of a wall, that moves.
The tastiest thing that I had to eat was when we had burgers at camp, I had lettuce cheese tomato sauce and a really nice patty I can still remember the taste now.
The most rewarding thing that I did at was archery and target shooting it was soo much fun because in target shooting I got to use a gun for the first time in my life and I shoot two out of three cans thats pretty go for a beginner. When we were doing archery I got a score of 60 out of a possible 90 I was so happy.

Homework
Today on the 05/05/2013 my mum and I went up Papamoa hills for a walk as one of the tasks for completing homework challenge P6.
We arrived there at 11:45 am and I asked mum if I could run ahead and when I reached the top to just come back down and meet her along the way on my way back down. While I was walking up I noticed there was lots of magic mushrooms, they were red with white spots on them. When I was at half way I saw a huge one I just had to smash it, at the time I was thinking about the smurf movie when the evil wizard finds their village. When I made it to the top I had a awesome view, but sadly I had to go so mum wouldn't catch up. I ran down the hill and saw mum coming I started to walk as I didn't want to waste my energy on the big walk back down. I now have one walk to do to finish this challenge.
Here is a photo of the sign at the bottom, I took this after I came down.

Homework
Challenge P1 Improve my fitness over a 12 week period: update
Hi guys sorry I haven't posted this update in a while as my internet was all used up. But anyway here it is. I have been working very hard to improve at this challenge, I think I have done well to get where I am now. What I have been doing is biking down to Gordon Spratt park or to the plaza at Papamoa from my home on my own as often as I can. So here is the graph showing my progress on this task, not much more to go until those 120km's are done.
