Computer cataloging

I'm back in action again! 
Wow what a day!
I had spent so much time on my passion project that I didn't really get to eat. Anyway I was e-mailing Stu from SIT and he gave me a few questions which added up to a total of ten answers that I had to solve. There was so much writing involved in it that it almost was a story! Right now he's just got back to me that I might change the date when were going to meet. I've got my homework done and dusted with and now I will probably get materials for my project to catch up with it. I'm ready to start  welding together, the bull not me! What I need is a 20 gallon drum tin and well really thats mostly it. I will be going to SIT on week one or week two of term three. My fingers are thumb from typing all day.
Let's get started!!

SIT down!!

My toes froze into stiffness. My Blue shoes turned to black while I was walking with Warren. Finally we were under cover. Warren is one of my two "work mates" for helping me to construct my tin bull. I got shown around to my future school and met a couple of Warrens students. I was so lucky to be in there! Finally I was in the carpentry area which is a small furniture room. There were houses, shelves and even machines that were twice my height! The last human being I met was Stu and he was an actual creator of a tin bull so that was just fortunate!! We sat down at SIT (Southern Institute of Technology) and talked about this project of mine. I had a few questions like "where is it going to stay", "how high it is", "should I draw a diagram of the house" and "what is it going to be made out of"? That is all my homework for this week!! Stu said that we might use a twenty gallon drum for the body and some Resene paint to coat the outer layer. We are still working on what it is going to be made out of, that's why I'm paying another trip next week to show him my homework!

Imagination to Draw

"Keep going... Yes!" I was successful crossing the bridge. A train consisting of fifteen contained carriages crossed a bridge. Jenny was helping us on how to operate an Ipad. There were five options to choose: We started with Pic collage, then live sketch, next was multi touch maths, smile mad pad and finally SP simple physics. Pic collage is a learning app that help you illustrate. Live sketch was about using you imagination to draw, Multi touch math is a learning math based app to solve questions. Smile mad pad is all about music and SP- simple physics is a building/technology app to help create. My most favourite one would have to be the live sketch because my strongest ability is sketching or drawing! These are lots of fun to play with and to create with.

Drama class...

Have you ever joined a drama class? Well today I did!

"Sandwich" yelled Nicola, "Well... Kyle and  I are the bread, Jacob is the bacon and Clara and Tara are the top pieces of it. The pressure was on us! No seriously the pressure was on top of us. The next was a... "Fire place!" yelled Nicola again. It was our turn, Jacob explained, "Kyle and I-(Jacob) are the wood burning, Thomas, Tara and Clara and the surroundings of it. Katie questioned "Are those dead ants?" Everyone cracked up laughing!! 
"Sunday breakfast," whispered Nicola! Our final score was 6/10 and came second out of all.

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?

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
