Dear Mr Clause

Dear Santa

I am giving you a warning that my chimney is very thin and I am not sure than your rump is going to fit down it. So I am not very sure how you have been breaking into my house for the past few years. I'm also very annoyed that you have been drinking my milk and eating my cookies, so this year I hope you get the idea that I want more cookies and milk.

I have been very good this year so maybe instead of puzzles and clothes that you have been giving me like I have been a bad boy can you give me something along the lines of a PS4 and games? If you do you can have my cookies and milk this year.

Also I have been wondering how nobody has caught you sneaking into people's houses and giving them toys because you are very large person and some people have decorations around on their floor so how have you managed to get around their houses in a pitch black house without making a sound? Another thing how do you stay awake all night, do you have a secret storage of Red Bull in your slay?

So this year I hope you will reply to my letter and will give me what I want for Christmas, hope you can do that if you can that would be great.

From A good little boy

Third World Countries

Today we were given the topic Third World countries. In my discoveries I found that there are three types of Countries First World being the really developed countries like France, Second World countries which are industrial countries like Russia and then there are Third World countries which most of the homes suffer from poverty.

I also found out that one of the worst Third World countries is Zimbabwe. The country currently faces a huge economic problem. They country had to recently print out a trillion dollar bill as the exchange rate is $1 NZD to $300 ZWD. The country's dictator is among the top 10 worst hated. So before you say "Mum can I have some pocket money?" think about the Zimbabweans. 

Japan, Kyoto

Japan. An island in east asia, located in the Pacific Ocean. The other day in our class we had a student from Japan, he was from Kyoto, he is one of the 1.5 million people who live in kyoto. When I was eight me and my family travailed to Japan we stayed in a small fishing village, not far from Kyoto so I went to see. They were also lucky enough to be removed from the atomic bomb list back in world war 2.

….a rose by any other name….

In 1591 to 1595 the play Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare. In the book there was one famous quote that has been still well using in todays world. The name of a rose by any other name, would still smell the same.

The quote the was said by Juliet has been used in many TV shows including CSI crime scene Investigation in season 10 episode 16, The Simpsons The principal and the pauper and it is also a weapon description in Border Lands 2.

When Juliet said it she was meaning don't judge something by its name judge it by what it is so that Romeo knew that she didn't care about his family name (As there families were enemy's) and that she would love him no mater what his last name was.

In the Port Of Tauranga on 10 rata street there is a company call C3 Ltd; they produce NZ range of wood. They have approximately 23 million logs of wood in there grounds and produce 63 thousand logs per day but for every tree the chop down they plant 3 new samplings.

C3 gets there logs from either over seas in China or in Hineva forest. After they have chopped and cleaned the wood they send if back to China from building resources, repairs and fences. At C3 they can only chop a tree down when it is mature because that is when they know it won't get any bigger. Also C3 is apart of the Port of tauranga which is a huge company that covers over 113 hectors if land, no wonder they can store so much wood.

45 minute inquiry

On 2011 the New Zealand curling team was taken to the Asia pacific championship of curling in china.
Our team in this photo is taking on China.

Sadly what I found out was Canada won gold, Norway got silver, switzerland went home with a bronze. Not any thing for the kiwis. Although I think the did pretty well considering that only few places in New Zealand your could play this game.

The game looks very hard. One team mate lightly pushing a stone to give it a boost and then two of the other players using brooms to try control the stone to get it close to the middle of a bullseye. I think the kiwis did great.
