This term we are focusing on speeches. My speech is on 'The Successful Civilisation', which is about what a successful civilisation is. My friends are doing topics like Cricket, Basketball and the Internet. I'm just upgrading my speech and listing to Paul Williams Nelson State of Mind. My mum is judging the competition. I hope she'll be byist!

Yay! Our class might be going to Rainbow Ski Field. We only have 2 available dates to go so if they're both bad weather like today, we don't go :(. I'm not a very good skier so I'm wondering what it will be like since The last time I went skiing I couldn't quite manage the intermediate slope. Just to lighten the day up a bit here area few jokes:

1. There are two sausages in a pan. One sausage says "Gee! It's pretty hot in here!" The other sausage said "Ahhhhhhhhhh! It's a talking sausage!"
2. There are two cows in a field.One cow says "Moo." The other cow said "Hey! I was gonna say that!"
   
3. There are two fish in a tank. One says "Hey! how do you drive this thing?"

Thanks for reading and bye!

Catapults

Our rich task this term is to make a machine demonstrating a whole lot of forces like kinetic energy and potential energy. I've decided to make a medieval trebuchet which uses gravitational pull, friction, potential energy and kinetic energy. It looks like this:
Awesome skill!!!!!!!! I'm building it at home. BOOM!!! So kewl!!!!

The Cay

Jonothan was reading us a really old book called 'The Cay' by Theodore Taylor. It's about a boy called Phillip who lives in the time when world war 2 had started. At the time he lived on the islands of Curacao but his mother wanted to move to the USA. Their boat ended up being torpedoed by a German U-boat and Phillip got knocked out. He woke up on a raft with a black man called Timothy and the ships cat, stew cat. Phillip becomes blind on the ship and then they land on a island in the middle of a large reef/the devils mouth as some people know it. Later a cyclone hit the island and Timothy died protecting Phillip from the storm. Phillip got picked up by an american boat later and was given his sight back at the hospital. It was a great tale and I think it is based on a true story. The moral is pretty much DON'T BE RACIST!!!
