Let's get things started!

This was the first great day of my life!!
He replied saying yes, that's fine with me.
Warren, a man from SIT agreed to help me on my tin animal, (he's a bull). My face was going yellow with a smile! At this stage, I haven't started yet but on my journey I might just tell you more! I've just emailed Warren and I'm waiting for the reply. There was one error on my emailing, I had to think how to write a formal email reply to him and that led to make me do it again. But that email was like a poem, taking it easy! I can't wait to get started. Right now, I'm day dreaming of what it's going to look like? 
My design is beside this text: 
Kind regards,

The pit...

Have you ever fallen into a pit like I have? Well here is your story for the week. 
Your day's all going fine, getting what your given, not getting in trouble. Until.... you fall in to a pit that's rock bottom!! Say why did this happen? There are hundreds of reasons why!
1.Homework
2.Tiredness
3.Just natural causes that kids do!
Strategy number one. When you get home do you homework straight away, so you can play with friends. Number two, go to bed early so you don't get in trouble again! Number three, just do what you get told. Number four, Tell someone you trust what you are feeling so they can help you.
This story is so that we can help ourselves when things get a bit tough, having strategies helps make us more resilient!

Where in the world?

Where in the world is Steve 'O Stag? Where are you? Katie sent us an activity called Steve 'O Stag. It's like finding the hard 'Where's Wally'! But we were using the Internet this time instead of a book to try and answer the clues she gave us! It was quiet hard because there are so many answers! I am on page three out of ten, They are really, really hard but challenging at the same time. The first was hard, the second got worse and the third is brian bending!The first website, no! Second website, no! that kept on going until about the sixth one maybe!
Here's one that you can comment on for the answer:

A container of half eaten food has been left by Steve 'O Stag. The dish appeared as Kimchi. What country and capital city beginning with "S" Does this dish come from?

I might tell you the answer next week.
LOL, Thomas  ;-0

Game on!

"I can not keep up!" I yelled in my head. Darryn was doing piece after piece after piece! I finally caught up to him and his skills. Didn't fool me now did it. He was showing about half the class how to do all of these advanced chess moves. "Wake up, wake up!" yelled Jemmimah. I fell asleep through the start of the class. How rude was that? Now I have learnt how to master some mindbending tricks during chess. I've got one idea up my sleeve and one at the top of my mind. I'm going to use them in the chess tournament, (that is if I get in!), and I will! This chess tournament is in Dunedin and it's coming up soon. I went last year, and I really want to go again this year. I need to be in the top 6 on the leaderboard, so I need to play, play play!! Game on, boys and girls! I'm going to win. Come first and be crowned the King of Invercargill. Joking, I will probably come last and won't be crowned the King!:(

Thomas, over and out

Keynote

 BOSS. I'm BOSS!

BOSS is the four different types of patterns. Beauty, order, strength and survivability. We did a keynote about that when we went on our environment field trip. I have designed how my keynotes going to look like and what pictures are going on there. The first step for me was drag the folder into i-Photo. Next was to edit our photos -  crop, enhance with a magical wand, straighten or delete. I have selected photos for all the categories and liked them. I can't wait till it's finished because it's looking pretty good. Next is a technology challenge and I remember last time. We thought it was sturdy, but guess what, it was a big ball of fur! I wonder how I'm going to do? If I had a magic wand I should use my magic wand!!

BOSS person out!

Patterns in the Environment

Q: Do ya know what I did today?
A: I had lunch. Interesting fact you know, Joking!

Come join me. This morning we found our way to the Queens park, No Queens park. We went sight seeing in Paris. Now I'm just getting muddled up with this. We went sight seeing for patterns in the environment. We got into packs of two and I was with Clara, after we all headed of to go sight seeing in Paris. Not again! One of my favourites was in the winter gardens with a pack of beautiful flowers. The four main subjects to find were survivability, strength, beauty and order. 
Here's another:
Have you ever dropped a camera?
My friend did, he thought it broke but with a bit of luck  only one battery fell out.

See ya next time at Paris!!
