A bad product I have bought

MacDonalds

In the year 2011, I bought a cheeseburger from MacDonalds. We got home and I took a bite, I thought it tasted weird. I looked in side to find nothing but cheese, I mean when I ask for a cheeseburger I don't just want cheese. So we took it back, the guy serving us was not happy at all. He yelled down to the back of MacDonalds for someone, someone raced up to the front with another cheeseburger this time we were hoping it had at least a patty in it. Dad and I checked to see if it had everything and of course it had everything in it. I got home and had a cheeseburger with a patty in it.

My Science Fair

This year for science fair I'm doing does your height affect a jump? The way I did it was I got a person to do a one step jump and reach as high as they can, when they reach the maximum height they will make a mark on the wall. I got a measuring tape and measured the jump. I also took their height and their height jumped and minused the height jumped by the height of the person, this took how high they jumped compared to how high they actually are. I thought that the taller people will jump higher than the smaller people because the taller people have longer arms so it’s easier to reach higher. But I thought that also the smaller people will jump around the same height as the tall people.

CAPTCHA

CAPTCHA is a program where it processes thousands and thousands of old books. It processes them in a way that it gets words from those books that are hard to read, humans type in the word for the computer so that it gives it a word like that or exactly like the word. It is also to stop people from spamming on your blog/site. About 200 million people solve these word problem everyday. Every word takes about 10 seconds to solve unless you refresh the word, each day it takes 150,000 hours in a total of solving. One of the words is and easy word that the computer knows and another word that the computer doesn't know.

I think it would be good for sites like Facebook and other social networking.

G1: Give to children in need: Participate in the 20 hour famine . Raise a minimum of $40.

G1: Give to children in need: Participate in the 20 hour famine . Raise a minimum of $40.

On Saturday the 8th of June, I participated in my first 20 hour famine. It started off easy, but then became more difficult towards dinner time. I was only allowed to eat barley sugars and drink just juice or water. I only had about 5 barley sugars during the 20 hours.

The next day I woke up hungry and ready to finish the 20 hour famine, but I still had two and a half hours to go. I spent this time sitting next to the pantry on my xbox. When that time had finished I was more relieved than anything. So after my stack of pancakes and muffin's I didn't feel hungry anymore.

I have raised a total of $100. I joined the red team which was Brad and Marty from the edge, the amount raised by the red team was $77, 559.09 and the total raised all together by the teams was 216, 116. 62.

This years famine was to raise money for the children and communities of Bougainville Papua New Guinea.

My game.

A game I have played is Fifa 13. Fifa 13 is a series called Fifa well obviously. Fifa 13 is the latest football game out at the moment. Fifa 13 is very very popular at the moment. It's got pretty much most nationalities in the world that have a team. Fifa 13 is one of my most favorite game's I have played. Fifa 13 has lots of online and offline options, like offline career mode, online ultimate team and many more. One of my favorite one's on Fifa is Pro Clubs Seasons. Pro Clubs Seasons is where you make a player of your choice, you choose your name and make your face. And then you can either join a team, make a team or just do a drop in game. I play for a team in the division 4 which is the 4th best division in the world.

An argument at home

"Mum can Kullen & Travis come round please?" I said anxiously.

"Ohh it's fine with me, ask dad." Said mum.

I said to dad "Dad can Kullen & Travis come round."

"What did mum say?" Dad said.

I said "Yeah she did!" with excite ment.

"Ok then they can, what did their parents say?"

"That they can come round."

"OK then they can."

My weekend

On Saturday I woke up from Kullen's granddad's house. After our breakfast I got ready for my game. I was anxious to play because this team I was playing were not very good. Kullen and his grandparents took me to my game. In the first 15 minutes of the game we scored 3 goals. At half time the score was 5-0. In the first half I scored 1 goal and in the second half I scored 3. In our game there were 3 hat tricks and 14 goals. The final score was 14-0. After the game finished we went to macca's and when we got to the drive-through we changed our mind. We decided to go in. We got to the place were you order and drove right past it, all of it. Later on that day we played mini put. Me and Kullen lost. His granddad won. After that they took me back to my place were we waited for like 30 minutes for mum to get home. I asked mum if Kullen could stay at our house and the usual response, "Of course." The next day we dropped Kullen back home and went to bayfair.

Rimu Study

A5: Improve your study skills: Research Rimu where do you find it? Why is it important to Maori? What uses does it have? Why is Rimu the best tree in the school?

Rimu

The Rimu tree is a large native evergreen tree that lives in the New Zealand forest's. There is also a different name for the Rimu tree, this name is the Dacrydium Cupressinum. Rimu tree's live up to 800 to 900 years old. The straight trunk of a Rimu is normally 1.5m in diameter, but may be larger in old or very tall Rimu's.

The leaves on a Rimu have spikes on them and can sometime's be very sharp. Rimu is used to make house hold furniture such as dining tables, coffee tables and bedroom furniture because of it's appearance. Rimu is a slow-growing tree, eventually reaching height's of up to 50m, although most surviving large trees are up to 20 - 35 m. Rimu is important to Maori because in the older days the Maori used it as a medicine for cuts or burn's. 

Rimu is the best house in the school because we have the best teachers and the best students. We work as a team because we are the red army and we don't hurt or offend other's. 

My idiom

1.  When pigs fly.

2.  About something that will never happen, like someone saying something that is impossible.

3. "I'm gonna do a double back-flip on the ground.""Just like pigs can fly!"

4. Dad always says, "Oh fire in the whole." and he only says it when he farts.

5. When pigs fly, it has been a traditional Scottish proverb, was first written in 1586 in an edition. It's also a way to joke that someone will never do something or something will never happen. Example: "Do you think you will ever work at that company again?" Reply: "When pigs fly!"

My conversation

"Gonna give me some?" Muttered Alex.

"Nah saving up for a big house, mean car, and other stuff." Chase bragged.

"Never know" said Chase.

"Oook then I guess I'll see you later!" Screamed Alex.

"Nah mate I'm pulling ya string bro, hahaha!" laughed Chase, of course we will be friends!"

Alex sighed, "ok that's good your one of my best mates."

A1: Improve your maths ability: Complete a random 10 x 10 grid in under 2 minutes.

A1: Improve your maths ability: Complete a random 10 x 10 grid in under 2 minutes.

On Saturday 8 June, I started the 10 x 10 grid challenge.

The challenge was to complete a grid made up of times tables from 1-10 (see below), in under two minutes.

My first attempt was timed at 2 minutes 10 seconds, so I knew that it wasn't going to be easy & that I had to complete it at least 10 seconds faster.

I decided to try it again on Monday & this time it took me 2 minutes 5 seconds. Mum printed me off another sheet, started the stopwatch & I tried it once more - 1 minute 55 seconds.

It felt good to have completed this challenge in a short time.

Time taken

My different cousin Winton

My weird cousin Winton will run around everywhere all day all week long. This boy is the most funniest kid ever. He is unique because he makes the funniest phrases like "Look I'm going to take you to fart land hahaha" He loves building lego, once he built this plane and he couldn't get the final part on so he yelled "I'm done with this stupid thing it's silly" then he grabs the piece that wouldn't fit on and throw it at the plane. He will eat and eat like once we were at their house, he had one piece of pizza and he would leave it on his plate and sneak under neath the table. He would grab another piece of pizza and runback. He would eat both pieces and do that same process.

What is your opinion about Rimu student's charging their laptop's at school. GIVE REASON'S.
I think it isn't that hard to charge your laptop's at home, we could use the money for other resources or things like that.
