Yesterday we had Robyn Moore come to our school to give us an inspirational speech. If you don’t know who Robyn is she is the voice over of the character of Blinky Bill along with 199 other characters she voices for.
Robyn is a volunteer for ‘The Make A Wish Foundation’ and helps to keep kids with Life threatening ilnesses happy as they can be by granting their most wanted wished for them.
She gave us some very inspirational quotes and points to think about.
If you have a friend who is holding you back from showing your true capabilities and potential leave them behind because in the end your the one who has to make a future for yourself no one else. That was proberbly the most thoughful thing I got out of yesterdays presentation. I want to make a good life for myself in the future and that starts now, doing what I know will be best for my future and my happiness in the long run is what I will being doing from now on and not caring what others think or say about me. I won’t get dragged into a bad crowd, bad habits or bad people because that is not me or the way I want to be.
Robyn also told us to never give up, if we are in a bad mood realise that being like that is not helping us at all so why not be happy 
She told us to keep our family close to us and continally tell them how much you love them, so yesterday I told my Mum, Dad and Brother how much I love them while we were walking along the beach I really do Love my family and i’m sure they know that but still make sure I remind them occasionally.

This year our class has worked really hard during our science classes.
Our teacher put in alot of hard work to organise science week for all the primary and middle school students of 2009 to see.
Science week was in August and it was a whole week when grade 8’s, 9’s and 10’s showed the younger children some stuff about science as an introduction to when they get to do more science in their future years of high school.
Some of the experiments shown were science about eggs, Bubble blowing, making polymers, Slime, Elephants Toothpaste, Heiliem aswell as an experiment on Diet Coke and Mentos.
We even had a class of Asian university students come and have a look at our setup and they really enjoyed seeing the experiments expecially the bubbles.

Oh My God.
I am so excited it’s now 55 days till Christmas day.
So i’m after comments about what your dream Christmas Present would be or what you would like for the Chrismas of 2009??
I know for me, a new hair straightner is on the top of my list.
I don’t really have many other ideas for what I would like, maybe some new books.
Here is the website where I got my picture from.
I will miss my friends during the holidays but I hope to catch up with them.
Next year will be exciting being in grade nine with new teachers and new classes.

Please comment me with your suggestions as I am struggling with thinking up ideas as to what to spend my time doing?

I’ve just played a simulation game called ‘Stop Disasters’. In the game you got to choose a senario of a natural disaster and then having aboout 15 minutes to put in place as many safety things as you can with a limited budget. I added a Hospial, School and two hotels aswell as break waters, seismic sensor, emergency signs and a radio system.
I found the game a little bit like Sims and did enjoy my fifteen minutes of saving a costal terrain in South East Asia of a Tsunami.
I recommend this game for you if you like sims and enjoy natural disasters and learning about them. I recieved a Gold medal at the end of my time playing why don’t you see if you can match my score.

I Have made a Quiz using MyStudiyo.
I want to see who actually reads my blog posts and takes in the information I write. So the answers to my quiz questions are found in my blog. So start my quiz and see how much you really know about me and my blog.
Click here to start my quiz.
A good idea may be to have my personal blog up aswell as the quiz and then you can refer to my blog for answers to get 100% correct.

As one of our activities we needed to complete for our ICT class I had to make a comic strip. If you click on this link you will be able to see my comic from the website I created it on. Maybe if you wanted you could alse use it for when your making your own comic strip. It was very simple to create the only problem I had was with uploading it to a post, I couldn’t find a code to embed it. But anyway if you do decide to use this site for your own comic strip and find a way to put it on your blog please let me know. :)

I am writing this letter to express my views of uniforms in public schools. Although most people do wear the correct uniform there are about ten percent of people who decide to draw attention to them selves.
Our school has introduced a new top to our uniform, it’s a white business like shirt. Some people wear the incorrect colour underneath, undo buttons on there shirt, wear non school uniform jackets over the top, or tie there shirt up in a knot.
I feel that if a few people start to alter the school uniform more people will follow. It shows a bad reputation to our community and people are not willing to send there children to public schools.
My question is should people be praised for making an effort and wearing the uniform or punished for wearing it incorrectly?
My opinion is that people should get punished, In private schools that is what they do and after once being punished they realise they have to wear the uniform correctly. What is your opinion?

Miss Wyatt has set up a Checklist showing all the things that grade 10’s need to be able to do to pass ICT at our school. I’m only in grade eight but can still be working towards what I need to be capable of before year 10. We need to be able to use the computers for inquiring with ICT, Creating with ICT, Communicating with ICT and operating with ICT.
If you would like to view more about this just click on the link and you will be able to see the tasks that you would need to be able to do before leaving grade ten if you were at our school.
To continue and finnish all these tasks before I leave school I will really need to try my hardest during all computer lessons in school for the next two years and getting help where and when I need it.
Does your school have a checklist that you need to have completed for any of your subjects?
