A Super-fast  jet is planning to exchange its windows with extra-thin screens, which will display the world outside for the pasengers to enjoy.

The screens will show images from cameras outside of the jet, and then display them to huge screens inside the jet.

The windows on planes usely causes ‘drag’ which slows the planes down, but without windows this jet could easily reach a speed faster then sound. 

The jet will be capable of travelling at over 1,100 miles per hour, and will get passengers from London to New York in half the time it takes normal planes and jets.

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.
