App of the Week
January 27, 2012 | General | Leave a Comment
As you probably all know now, is that I have an iPad. So I thought it would be cool to do an App of the Week post every Friday. Once a week I will write a post about an app I really enjoy using. I will include screen shots, the app icon and all its awesome qualities. Also, leave your ideas in the comments. I probably won’t have the app you suggest, but if it’s free, I’ll download it! See you in the comments!

What a Show!
January 25, 2012 | General | Leave a Comment
When I was at my Grandparents house, my Grandpa showed me this video. It a show that is like a fake movie scene where a person is trying to get away from the police. It would take extreme skill to drive like this, an that’s why I think it’s worthy if going on my blog! My favourite bit is where they are driving what seems backwards but the inside of the car is backwards, so the driver is really driving forwards! Leave your thoughts in the comments!
Here is a link to the video because I’m having problems embedding it on my blog.
P.S. I didn’t go there and film that video, It is the best one I could find on you-tube.

My best learning experience this year has been speeches. I have learned to research a topic and present it in a way that will keep the listeners engaged for two minutes plus.

Christmas Is Coming Up Soon!
December 1, 2011 | School Work | Leave a Comment
Christmas is coming up soon and, to most kids, Christmas is a time for presents and naughty, “once in a while” food. What I would like to know is what you want for Christmas. If I get lots of comments I will put up results in which percentage of people wanted what. I will go by which brand the toy is from.
Also, Christmas Trees are starting to go up all around the globe. My grandparents already have theirs up and my family will have ours up hopefully on Saturday. I would also like to know what type of Christmas Tree do you have? Small or Large, Black, White, or Green, Real or Not! My family used to use real ones from our property but recently we bought a black one so we have used that for the past 2 years.
Also, from around the middle of November onwards, people start to think of what to get others for presents! Texts are sent for ideas and E-Mails are sent with full wish lists complete with backup ideas and pictures. At the start of December shops have 4 day sales and so on to draw in Christmas shoppers. My I-Pad is handy to check out all shop’s websites and find what sales are on and which place has the lowest prices.
And you can’t forget a good old Christmas meal with your family! Lunch or Dinner, Brunch or Afternoon Tea, families get together all over the globe. Butchers also start to sell all the meat for your Christmas table, Turkeys and the like! I can’t wait to meet up with all my little cousins, and hopefully it’s a great day so we can play outside with some water guns, even though the oldest is only 5!
Always remember the real meaning of Christmas though, the birth of Jesus Christ. Make sure you go to church at some point, and don’t worry just about the presents. But for those who do, check out my Christmas countdown coming soon to my blog sidebar!

My Favourite Wellywood Sign Protest

This is the funniest protest about the controversial Wellywood sign. I found out about it on the news. I watched it and thought it was really funny. For any international visitors, this video is made up and isn’t real.

Congratulations All Blacks – World Cup Champions
October 25, 2011 | School Work | 2 Comments
If you havn’t had your head sticking out of a window for the last few days, you’ll know the All Blacks overcame France 8- 7 in the 2011 Rugby World Cup Final on Sunday night. New Zealand has been a gigantic party central ever since, and parades and parties are dotted all over the country! For all fans watching the game, it was a nervous wait, but the All Blacks finially overcame the resiliant French in a nailbiter of a game.
The first half started with a hiss and a raw! The French threw everything they had at the All Blacks but their defence held, but only just. After a set lineout move 5 metres from the line, Tony Woodcock crashed over for the first try. Piri Weepu missed the conversion and numerous penalties, and at half time the All Blacks went into the sheds 5-0 up, but the momentum was with the French.
Pretty much a horror start to the second half for the All Blacks. Aaron Cruden hyper extended his knee and had to be replaced be Stephen Donald, while Piri Weepu had a shocker game and was soon replaced by Andy Ellis. A critical moment in All Black history. The fourth choice first five, Stephen Donald had a penalty kick to give the All Blacks an 8 point advantage. The kick is launched, it scrapes the upright and it’s over! Only a few moments later a massive blow to New Zealand Hearts. French captain Thierry Dusatoir crosses the line and brings the French within a point of the All Blacks. 8-7 to the All Blacks. And that’s how it sayed. Possesion and Territory swung in favour from one team to the other. But not a single point was scored and finially Andy Ellis boots the ball into touch.
Both teams come out of this bruising encounter exhausted. The All Blacks win their second of three world cup finals, while the French are still searching for their first after three attempts at a final.
One final thing, GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!!

My Adventure at the Porirua Mall
October 25, 2011 | School Work | 4 Comments
Yay, we’re nearly there! My Mum, Sister, and I were meeting my Grandparents at the Porirua Mall on the last day of the school holidays. We hadn’t met so far in the holidays and we thought we should do something together. As soon as we walked through the doors, we saw them dead ahead. When we caught up to them, Grandma, being the great person she is, gave me and my sister $50 each. That made $70 with the money my Dad had given me earlier.
The first shop we looked in was K-Mart. I wanted to look at their huge range of Nerf guns and accesories Sadly, the gun I wanted, the Vulcan EBF 25 was not on the shelf. I was amazed at the range of Nerf they supplied, but not the gun I wanted.
Next we headed upstairs to Farmers. I was hopeful that they would have the Vulcan, and a sign that was in the front window read “25% OFF TOYS!” In amongst the huge pyramid of big yellow boxes and sale signs, was about 4 Nerf Vulcans. Unfortunately, even with 25% of, $5 separated me from my nerf gun. Luckily, Mum gave me $5 so I could buy it. We would come back when we were ready to leave so I didn’t have to carry it around everywhere!
The next few shops we went to were all shops Clementine wanted to go to. I just zoned out and talked to Grandma. I really didn’t want to look at rings and anklets!
After our shopping spree we went to get some morning tea. I had an Ice Cream Spider and a White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake. It was the best cheesecake I’d ever had (apart from Mum’s). It was large, dense, and therefore filling, so I couldn’t finish it without bursting!
After going back to Farmers to get my Nerf gun, it was time to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa, and go off home to play with my purchase!
I had a great time catching up with Grandma and Grandpa, and I though it was very generous of them to give me and my sister $50 each!

Hoop Shoot is a game to practice Adding, Subtracting, and Multiplying decimals. This game also has a feature where if you get it correct, you have too shoot for a basket. To make even more room in a class of computers, the game has a two player setting, where the most hoops shot wins.
Here is a link to the game – (Multiplying Version)
Hope you try it, and if you do good luck! The second ling can also be found on my links, named More Decimal Games.

Who Do You Want To Win The Rugby World Cup – That’s Not Th All Blacks!
September 11, 2011 | School Work | 3 Comments
We all know the All Blacks are New Zealand’s favourite to win the Rugby World Cup! But what if they weren’t in it? So I want to know who do support besides the All Blacks.
Mine is Australia. That is because my family is Australian an well, they’re the best team besides the All Blacks.
