This poor little baby fox  was almost strangled in a soccer net. The more  he struggled it made him closer to death. He ended up with the net tightly strangled  around his body. All of this could have been avoided by simply rolling up the net or putting it away so that the fox or any other animals can't get tangled up in it.

Term 3 Art

Last term for art we did zentangling.Mine was a little weird but that's me , It's fulled with lots of colours and rainbows which I love.I love zentangling because it's calm and relaxing.Its my favourite way of art.I think I improved my art by adding in more bright colours and I think they go really well together.I disliked rubbing out all the pencil lines because it started to where out the paper.My favourite Patton was the little rainbow triangles in the clouds.

End of Term 3

I have loved term 3 because we experimented with new things to try in the class like booking into P.E seasons when you feel like you need it, or zentangling when you cant think straight its relaxing.My favourite thing about term 3 was impact, because the task the we're working on is the wearable arts competition and I really enjoy it.I think I need to improve on spelling my words correctly and putting them in the right places.I will achieve this goal but memorising the most commonly misspell words that i have trouble with. I bet term 4 will be as great as term 3 was.

VolleyBall

Every Tuesdays and Fridays we go to the collage to do Volleyball.I enjoy Volleyball because it's not something that we do all the time , and I'm learning ways on how to play, like digging, and the positions where we stand.I'm not very good at serving but we were just learning that now.I enjoy every moment that we play.

Stocking up on 273 packets of classic tasting Milo may sound crazy but has turned out to be an excellent idea for Shaun Harris.

After discovering that Nestle would be changing the original and well-loved recipe for Milo, Shaun went on a Milo shopping spree, buying up 143 kilos of the chocolate drink.

Now with most  New Zealenders are desperate to get their hands on the classic Milo, Shaun is  offering his entire stash to one lucky buyer for a price of at least $4000 on Trade Me.

So far no one has been willing to spend that small fortune but Shaun says if no one buys the lot by November he will sell them separately. Shaun believes that selling them individually in time for Christmas will offer a great present idea.

NPS Cross-Country

On Monday we had cross-country at the South Farms.I was in the 12+ so my race was the last. When we where doing our warm ups I steeped in a massave puddle and it looked like I've already raced.Ready set go , we were off and I steeped in that massave puddle again but what came next was worse a hill covered in mud,Basically everything after that was me falling over in mud or falling in the river or just randomly falling over. And that was my cross-country

Laura Ponce from Brazil has a rare medical condition – she cries crystal tears! It may sound pretty awesome but in fact the condition is very painful for 35 year old Laura. When she cries, Laura’s eyes create a white clot which turns to solid crystal after she blinks. Laura first discovered the crystal tears when she was 15 and her mother took her to the emergency room. The doctor was just as mystified as Laura.The condition has caused Laura’s eyes to swell often and has caused infection, forcing Laura to take 6 months off work as she removed up to 30 hard crystals from her eyes each day.

Sugary Drinks

On Friday we had a secession with T.A about sugary drinks. She told us how much sugar is in the most popular drinks. I couldn't believe how much sugar their was. Water and milk is our every day choice. In Coke there is 14 teaspoons of sugar and that isn't even the big bottle, and there is even more sugary drinks then that.

Floating and sinking

At school today we did an experiment about floating and sinking , If you put an orange in the water it will flaot because of the skin , the skin has little ways for air to creep inside and it makes the orange float. But if you take the skin off it will sink because it has no air inside.

Drama

I have learnt lots of new drama games and skills , the whole experience has been so fun, I always look forward to the drama seasons that we have. Next time we do drama the game that I would love to do again is hitchiker , the reason I love this games is because you get to make up your own sound and others will copy you and it just sounds cool and funny.
