For The Want of Water

2007-10-18T16:26:00.000-07:00

For the want of water trees were lost,

For the want of trees houses were lost,

For the want of houses lives were lost,

For the want of lives countries were lost,

For the want of countries planets were lost,

And all for the want of water.

This poem was inspired by Benjamen Franklin's "For The Want of a Nail"

The Plant That I Have

2007-10-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

This is the bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the factory that owns the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the chocolate that is made in the factory that owns the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the woman that ate the chocolate that is made in the factory that owns the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the waste that came from the woman that ate the chocolate that is made in the factory that own the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is the manure that is produced from the waste that came from the woman that ate the chocolate that is made in the factory that owns the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

This is my Mum who bought the manure that is produced from the waste that came from the woman that ate the chocolate that is made in the factory that owns the truck that carried the man that took my bean that grows from the plant that I have.

Books

2007-10-09T02:41:00.000-07:00

I have abandoned The Witch in the Lake. The book just didn't get to the point and it just got boring. I am starting a new book it is trilogy in one and there are 12 books. The author is Darren Shan. Vampire Blood is the name of the first trilogy. Alex.H recommended this book to me. I reckon that the front cover looks pretty cool so I might have a go at the story.

Our Class 'Un' Project

5091 W.A Australia

Dear Jacob,
Antarctica has been ruff this year. We get to come home for the winter because of the extremely cold months. A friend of mine has been in a critical condition since an accident that happened last month. He had to be moved to New Zealand for a while until he got transferred a couple of weeks ago. The man who was injured name was Peter; he was taking pictures of Blue Whales when the ice around him cracked and he fell in.

The station is going well, we found a new sort of plant down here. We named it the Violable. The head chairman of the expedition thinks that our new discovery is amazing and that no one has found something like it before in three years. Its so great to know that the person you share your room with found it.

I saw 500, Emperor Penguins in breeding season. It was so exciting to see all the penguins there. It was the most amazing experience looking at some of the baby chicks being fed by their mother. Some of the eggs didn’t hatch because they froze. It was the most heart-breaking thing to see the parents go through so much pain.

I sent some pictures in the mail of the station and some of the animals that we saw. We had to do so many things this year. My favourite picture that I took is the one of some Killer Whales. There is a pretty good picture there that I liked of all the Emporia Penguins in the area of the breeding grounds.

I hope to see you in a couple of weeks. Good-Bye for now.

The Mysterious Box

2007-08-23T20:03:00.000-07:00

It all began when Megan and David were walking home from their Grandma's They knew they shouldn't have, but they took a short cut though Swallowdale woods. It was beginning to get dark. An owl hooted, and the sound echoed all around them."Oh I'm so scared"whispered David. "I want to get home quickly."

"Come on then," said Megan "let's hurry." So the two children hurried down the path, the leaves crunching beneath their feet. "Wait what's that?" There was a dark shadow there in front of them. It was a box, a large box. The children bent forward and began to lift open the lid.

As the children opened the box a big gust of wind came gushing past. David got goose bumps all up and down his arms. He got so scared that he ran behind a tree. When Megan opened the box she stepped back and covered her mouth. When David saw Megan's face he ran over to her to see what was going on,"It's a rotting hand." Explained Megan. Megan's tan smooth skin turned white with bumps all up and down her body. The brother and sister stood there staring at the hand until they heard a crack of a twig behind them. There was nothing there. They turned around and stepped towards the box. David screamed as loud as anything, like it was the last thing he did and it was. the six year old lay dead on the ground.

Megan couldn't do anything about her brother because before she new it she was into the box and into a lake. The pressure from the waterfall was pushing her down, she tried and tried to get out but she couldn't. She felt like a million trucks were falling on top of her and pushing her down. She couldn't breath and she couldn't move, she was dying.

She felt something tugging on her leg. it couldn't be, it can't be, it was the man who killed David. As soon as Megan got out from under water she pushed the man down and with a struggle he stopped moving and sunk to the bottom of the lake. Megan got out of the lake and sat on a rock.

I have to get out of here she thought. then suddenly she realised that she recognised that place, she was still at the lake but about a mile away from were she was before. She looked around, Megan could see something in the distance. She ran over to see what it was, it was the hand.

Megan crept up to it, as she reached out to touch it the hand crumpled into a million pieces of dust. A Megan stood up she felt that a huge gust of wind cane past. Her beautiful tan skin went white again and so did her beautiful brown hair.

Megan screamed, the scream wasn't like she normally screamed it was like an ear piercing scream. Something crept out of the lake , Megan couldn't make out what it was, it was like a shadow. It jumped up and Megan and pulled her into the lake.

No one knows what happened to the children that dark evil day. Was it the box or was it the hand? No one knows...

As one of our assessment pieces this term we had to do a food chain on Antarctic animals.

I hope we learn more about them in our class a little more.

Reading Response on The Witch in the Lake

2007-08-13T19:46:00.000-07:00

This book is amazing. The whole concept of the book is so good that the first two pages just pulled me in. Leo and Merilee are two children who are forbidden to see each other. In the book it says that the witch is so scary that if a grown man sees her he will get so scared that his speech will get smacked straight out of him. Leo loves danger he isn't really scared of anything he has no brothers or sisters and hi mother died of the flu. Merilee doesn't like getting in trouble or going the lake but she still likes to protect Leo when he gets into a bit of a pickle. Merilee's sister died of the black death but Merilee's family thinks it's the witch's power. Later on in the book I think that someone close to the children will die or they will find the witch and defeat her.

Japanese Scripture

2007-08-13T17:14:00.000-07:00

Today in Japanese we had to write a sentence about their food. We had to write them in the Scripture, Then the English, Then in Romaji. The scripture in Japan is the most hardest part. We have books with sentences in them and then our teacher puts the Romaji on the board and we have to write the Scripture in our book.

Wolves in the Sitee

2007-08-07T21:08:00.000-07:00

The guided reading book for this week is Wolves in the Sitee. The book is amazing it's great. It's about a boy who's family are gone and he has no one, except for missus Redinski. Missus Redinski is the boy's neighbour who is letting him stay at his place while everything is going on. The city is deserted because of something. The author doesn't really tell you what's happening in the book because she might want us to think about the book and want us to think of all the possibilities.

Image of God

2007-08-07T19:02:00.000-07:00

Today we had to draw a picture of what we think God looks like. When I was a little kid I always thought that God looked like an Aboriginal in a control room. One of my Friends drew a picture of Gods head floating in the clouds. Some people drew some really really good pictures. Last Wednesday we had to draw a picture of what we thought the image of God was, eg; A rock. I drew the world with a crown on top, because God is like the King of the world and a King wears a crown so that's what I drew.

At school today we had to do an experiment with water. We had to punch a hole at a bottom of a cup and fill it up (with our finger over the hole). We would have a medicine cup, Every 5 seconds we would let the water drip into the cup and we would have have to record the data. After 60 seconds the experiment would be over. With the data we will do a line graph.

The Story of Sadako

2007-07-26T19:06:00.000-07:00

The paper crane has become an international symbol of peace in recent years as a result of it's connection to the story of a young Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki born in 1943. Sadako was two years old when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. As she grew up, Sadako was a strong, courageous and athletic girl. In 1955, at age 11, while practicing for a big race, she became dizzy and fell to the ground. Sadako was diagnosed with Leukemia, "the atom bomb" disease. Sadako's best friend told her of an old Japanese legend which said that anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes would be granted a wish. Sadako hoped that the gods would grant her a wish to get well so that she could run again. She started to work on the paper cranes and completed over 1000 before dying on October 25, 1955 at the age of twelve.

The point is that she never gave up. She continued to make paper cranes until she died. Inspired by her courage and strength, Sadako's friends and classmates put together a book of her letters and published it. They began to dream of building a monument to Sadako and all of the children killed by the atom bomb. Young people all over Japan helped collect money for the project.
In 1958, a statue of Sadako holding a golden crane was unveiled in Hiroshima Peace Park. The children also made a wish which is inscribed at the bottom of the statue and reads:
"This is our cry, This is our prayer, Peace in the world".

Today, people all over the world fold paper cranes and send them to Sadako's monument in Hiroshima.

This is about a girl who we learned about in Japanese today.

Scales

2007-07-24T19:12:00.000-07:00

Every day we do numeracy it's not my best subject but I'm OK at it. Today we learnt about numbers. Say I had a small circle, a small square and a big square on a scale, you put 3000 in the small square and 6000 in the big square you take 3000 away from 6000 and the number that you get you put in the circle to make the scales balance. (Trust me we did harder ones than that!!) I think that I did good in the area of what we did.

Today we saw The Ned Show. It was about a man who was a really really good yo-yo guy. He showed us stuff about how to yo-yo. He taught us about how to never give up on our goals in life and what NED stands for.It was a really good show, it was really funny too. The performance was good over all.

Antarctica

2007-07-23T19:50:00.000-07:00

At school this term we have to learn about Antarctica. Its a pretty cool subject. You get to learn about a whole new country and how all the animals live there and what they eat. Did you know that Antarctica is the driest country in the world? The ores are one of the beautiful things in Antarctica. They most fierce there (in my opinion) they're really creepy. One of the things that we have to learn about is the food chain like, killer whales eat blue whales witch eat krill witch eat plankton, so its pretty much a dog eat dog world. I would hate to be krill you would have to be swallowed by a really ugly big blue whale!!
