Life Ed - [Harold The Girraffe]

Life Education....

I remember when I used to get visits from life education. All sweet and cheerful, learning about the human body was fun. But the last three times that we went inside the caravan were all about the affects of alcohol and drug usage. The "Web of Addiction" is what the alcohol and drug usage terms are better referred to. Micelle our Life Ed Tutor had been talking to us about why alcohol has different effects on our body and mind. My message for all of this was to get young people "Delay our Decision".

A drug is basically something that isn’t water, food or oxygen. It can change the way your body moves and works. An easier example for this is when your friend may ask you to take off your clothes and run around the school naked your first reaction would be to deny it and just think: “Everybody would laugh at me. That would just be stupid”. But when drugs or alcohol are in your body’s functional systems your first reaction would be: “Omg! [Oh My Gosh!] That would be so funny! Let’s Do it!”

There are seven steps to the puberty ladder. You may not know it but some of your friends may already be on different stages on the puberty ladder. The oldest age you could start on the puberty ladder is 15, the youngest is possible 9. So be kind to everyone, even though you may not be able to solve their family problems, or their difficulties you can make it better with a smile! So Smiley’s To ALL OF YOU OUT THERE!! : :D :] =] xD =D ;] ;) :)

Hoceky "GOAL!!!!"

:D Hello Peoples Of This Fantastic World! We just played our hockey game and guess what!?!? it Was 3-3 all! :'( But sadly because we didn't have a goalie [Because "Some-one" forgot to bring it to the game not naming any names -- Nick!] so the tie wasn't counted for our score list thingy. :D What I'm most happy about is that I scored a goal! That's right people ME PR! Actually scored a goal!! :D :D Thank you to that awesome goalie that couldn't stop the ball in time!! :P

Hehehe Until Next Time Cyah Again Later!! ♥♥♥

P.S: Ahww AC I hope you feel better [Some-one hit AC's thumb

Scientific Investigation

Topic: Crystals

Aim:

• What do you want to find out?
• Why do you want to do the experiment?

To create different crystals using different types of salts.

Hypothesis:

• What do you think will happen?
• Make an educated guess from the background research you have done

My Hypothesis Is:

I do think the salts will create the different crystals because not all salts have the same ingerdients used to create them.

Equipment:

• Find out and list all the equipment and resources you need

1. Different Salts

2. Spoons

3. Paper Towel

4. Boiling water

5. Measuring Cup

6. Heat Proof Glass jar

7. Mirror - Chemicals

Method:

• Give the instructions clearly and concisely to your experiment in order, so that someone else can repeat it.

1. Create to sets of crystals using the same salts and wait for crystals to form

2. Using the research I have already gotten test out the crystals I've created

Ect. Ect.

Science Fair 4

I have learnt alot form my previous reasearch on crystals. I now need to find a site that will give me a detailed explanation on how to make crystals using different salts.

For people that are interested this is the definition of a crystal:
A crystal is a solid material that is consisted of molecules formed in a repeating pattern.

My procedure for my project is going to consisit of:

1. Create and wait for the crystals to emerge and form
2. Make another set of crystals using the same salts that were used to make the first set
3. Reasearh the different types of crystals and test out the ones I've made.
4. Go to a specialist and ask them wether a crystal can be transformed into a mirror.
5. If so I will ask how it can be done and then maybe create my own mirror using the crystals I've made.

So far my log book is up to date with everything I have done and reasearched for Science Fair!! :]

Science Fair - 3

"AHA! After days of searching on end I have found the ideal project for this Year's Science Fair!!"
Guess what people of this world?? I've done it [once again]. I have finally decided that I am not going to doing a project on Computer science anymore, instead I'm going to do it on "Will Different Salts Produce Different Crystals?" Because I have a total interest in salt [NOT!] I'm going to take this project a step further by turning the salt crystals into a basic mirror that you could use in your normal day. xD Can't wait to get started [again] Wish Me Luck!! :D

Science Fair 2

Thanks to NC I have now officially got a science fair question sorted [sort of]. Out of all the catergories in the Science Fair I'm going to be doing something about "Computer Science". These are just some of the great ideas I have gotten from [listening to NC] searching in "random science fair topics" on google! :D

• What are viruses and how do they work?
• What "WWW" search engine works best?
• Develop a computer program design to solve some mathematical equations
• Design a computer mouse for people who don't have arms/hands.
• How do web pages work?
• Micro- computer games for the blind.
• Create a computer program that gives people information based on their birthday
• Life and death of a network virus
• Does the temperature affect the performance of the computer components?
• Determining which computer is fastest for different types of programs
• Can computers stimulate a form of artificial life?

"Cool aye?" I'm So Excited!! :D Can't Wait To Determine My Subject! What Do You Reckon Sounds Cool? I'm Liking The Design A Computer Mouse For People Who Don't Have Arms/Hands one!! :D :]

!!Science Fair!!

I'm actually quite glad that we're doing Science Fair this year! I'm working with HC and we still don't know what our ideal subject is going to be. So far all I've come up with is:

• What are the most versatile aquatic plants?
• Is time travel going to say a mere dream?
• How do virus's work and destroy?
• Does the color of a room affect human behavior?
• Does rock/heavy metal music effect the rate at which a termite chews?
• What is nuclear activity and how can it be prevented?
• What type of herbal homemade medicine works best on infection?
• Does plant growth differ in varying temperatures?

Please comment if you know what one HC and I could do! =] Or Maybe You Could Give Us Some Ideas Based On What I Have Written Above? ;]

Hockey

I play hockey for our school team, and for our last game I got to be a goalie. For me personally I would prefer being a filed player rather than a goalie but everyone had to have their turn so I Took One For The Team!(haha!) Truthfully I didn't like being a goalie, for one I didn't get to run and what the most scariest of all was that when the other team were trying to get a goal it would be up to you to stop it. "No Pressure". When being a goalie you have to use (mainly) your feet to stop the ball because apparently "it's easier". I failed to listen to this command on several occasions. When you're running on the turf (field) and the ball hits your foot the ref. blows the whistle, I've gotten used to keeping my feet out of the ball's way. This was another minus point for me.
I have been playing hockey since last year and am enjoying it a lot. I have seen a vast improvement in my skills and can hit the ball with more accuracy! For the game I was a goiale I score was 1-1. I saved 2 goals (with my stick) and got player of the day!! :D

Panpan and Brooke have been playing since last year as well. =] If only I had their skills along with mine! I could be in the reps. (not really)!!!

Aquacise - Sports Options

For my sports option I got to be in aquacise!! Last Wednesday would probably have to be my most favorite session out of all the 3 times that we went. The first time was just aqua aerobics, this was when we were doing basic exercise routines in the water with a remix sound-track playing on a loud speaker. The second session was when we went snorkeling, we had a little practise around in the med-sized pool before we got to go into the 50m pool. Looking down to the ground was almost as scary as looking up to the surface, but the awesome thing for me was that I didn't need a life jacket to stay afloat and I do plan on living for ever! ;]

For our third session we learnt about basic river safety. These are just a couple of things that we learnt during a quarter of that session:

• Wearing baggy clothing whilst swimming in the river or lake is a hazard when you are trying to stay safe.
• In emergency stay calm and keep together if you're in a group. Swim with your feet first so that there's less injury to your head if you collide.
• Always swim when an adult is present so that they can come to your rescue when you may fall in harm.

We then went into the 50m pool after we had our life jackets on. The two major activities that we did included getting back into a boat after it had tipped and the fun bit- trying to swim against a current (really a whole flow of bubbles that swept us away- we didn't have a chance!)

The inflatable boat was just as fun. Our group (Prapitha, Hine, Brooke, and Laura) were to get into the boat and paddle into the middle of the pool. After doing so we all had to sit on the same side and lean back , doing this to "mistakenly" tip the boat over. Our task was to get back into the boat using team-work. This happened quicker than I expected. When I finally did get into the boat I managed to make an ex-extraordinary landing waving my legs into the air in all different fashions.

Doing this was So0o0o0 Much Fun!!! Can't Wait Until Next Time! ☺☺☺

This is my Landform Pre-assessment. Thruthfully I have never found most rocks interesting, that is why my video has nothing true in it. If I had to be interested in one specfic type of rock I would choose something ex-trodinary and out of this world like a metorite or something that is shiny and smooth. =]

This is our (BG and PR) second Chinese Dialoude Video. Since last term we have been learing Chinese and in this video we have impoved alot in our fluency but still need to work on our pronounciation. All the little Chinese phrases we have leant so far have been included in this video such as: greetings, likes/dislikes, food & drink, telephone no., and good-bye's. When watching this video you may have noticed that the Chinese pronounciation for the word "water" is said a little differently. I do know how to properly pronounce the word "water" (shui pronounced sh-waa-y). Compared to the other pairs we only had to do 4 takes before we got it fairly perfect. Next time I will focous on trying to say simple Chinese phrases without having a book or peice of paper to assist me.

S.A.M.S Learner T-Shirt

This is my s.a.m.s learner t-shirt. I have made it colorful to represent that all learning does'nt have to be boring. In the middle you may have noticed a person, he has a large ear to show that he is listening and a moving mouth to show that he is comunicating. As you may have noticed he is holding a magnifying glass as to represent an explorer. The day and night words represent that learning doesn't have to stop after school.

Chinese Introduction Videos

This is my introduction video for Chinese. I think I have improved alot in my frequency and I am going to carry on doing that, I can speak much better now but in my video I was a little shy. I have shown that I can say some Chinese phrases with their tones in correct places but I still need practice.

S.A.M.S Learner

These are all the attributes to the s.a.m.s learner. They inclue the things I am good at and things I need to work on.

Self Manager:
I am self motivated and can stay on task
I need to organise myself by bringing everything needed for the day

Communicator:
I can socially work with everyone
I need to ask questions if I'm not sure about something

Thinker:
I can think creatively and create something original
I need to learn to use different ways of presenting things

Explorer:
I can use different resources to find answers
I need to connect ideas and thoughts by asking for constructive critisim.

By doing all these things I will turn out to be a self motivated S.A.M.S learner.
