My Awesome Christmas

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! DO YOU?

Netbook Reflection 2012

I must admit, this year has been pretty challenging but it has also been a lot of fun. I love using my Netbook to share all my journeys with the world. It is also a great learning tool. For example...

Our Netbooks help us to learn at school and for most of us at home too. There is an advantage to taking your Netbook home. Like, getting ahead or catching up on your work. At my class we work independently. So we can work on whatever we want, when we want. It is also helps us to be cyber smart. We also like to take charge so instead of bugging your teacher or our friends, you can just search it up on the internet. Plus it’s way better than working on a boring old books and pencils.

But Netbooks are not perfect. Sometimes the internet doesn't work. I think we should make the Netbooks safer and stronger because it can break really easily. I would like our Netbooks to be a higher quality. And the webcam is also has a couple of problems.

But over all I have loved working with my Netbook. Thank you to all the people that made this happen. I'm very excited to use this amazing tool again next year!                  

Camp Bentzon!!!

Camp Moments

Camp... it’s fun, a great place to hang out with friends and make new ones. Camp is also full of hilarious moments. And most of the time they come when least expected. Like...

There was this boy called Henry in my camp team, I must admit he not a boy “boy” If you know what I mean. But we were still friends. Our first activity was Kayaking, thats were we found out that Henry was terrified with stingrays!

Here’s the story Erin (our kayaking instructor) had a great day for us planed. We were going to kayak to an island called Survivor Island! And on the way there we past stingray bay. Were obviously we saw heaps of stingrays. We even named one “Mr. Mansion” because our team name is Mansion. Weird right?! “Look Henry, there’s a stingray under your kayak,” I yelled out (In a good way). Of course that was before we knew that he was gonna hit it with his padal! “HELP! AHHH,” he screamed in absolute fright. He ALMOST tipped out of his kayak.

We started cracking up! And guess what, when we went sailing we tricked him to thinking that there was a huge stingray under his sail boat. Once again he panicked and almost fell out of the sail boat... AGAIN! I was speechless. Two second later... Everyone and I absolutely Everyone was laughing at him! If I could describe Henry in one way it would be, HILARIOUS!!!

Telecom Christmas Tree!

There are some, well lots of up sides to having a special job at school. For instance I am an ambassador  at school. And I got invited to a very very special trip to the Lighting of the Telecom Tree!

 Only very special people in the school got invited. We got to take our family too. Telecom also  provided us with transportation and a small dinner. Did I mention everything was free! That's right transportation, dinner, whole family, plus fun for the kids and entertainment for the adults. 

By entertainment I mean famous artist like Massad and Titanium!!! If  you have not heard of them they are awesome singers. When I saw them I ran on stage to have a better look ;)! And when they have finished they of course people want photo's and autographs. So go over to see the them! I got to hug Massad and take a photo with two members of Titanium!!! I was so starstruck!  

Of course everyone came to Victoria park for the fun but most of all the lighting of the tree.  I could never think of a better way than this to start the Yuletide Season. Thank you very much Telecom for  the magnificent night! Merry Christmas to all!!!

The Day My Favourite Toy Came Alive!

I love toy's and I got lots of them when I was a child. Some would be small some would be big but one particular toy was my favourite... it was my crawling baby Minnie Mouse. I used to take her every where I went. She even had her very own stroller! I made a video about her not so long ago. If you want to watch it its called My Toy Story... Movie . 

I still remember when I was young I took baby Minnie Mouse to the mall in her stroller. I treated her like a real live person or mouse! To me she was always alive. I feed her, I walked her and I played with her. All I can say is she was living a babies dream!!!

But then something tragic happened... "It's lost!" I screamed.  My mother ran up the stairs to see what I was so upset about. It's like it just crawled away!? I cried and cried and cried. You know what else I did? I cried! That night I didn't sleep, not one bit. I saw my Dad and Mum eating breakfast. When they saw me they both smiled. "Good morning," my Dad greeted. "Look what we found..." Mum said. It was Minnie Mouse! I leaped with happiness!

At that day I promised I would never let go of it ever again! But sadly that promise was never kept. I gave her to my baby cousin because I was too old to have her any more. And I have never seen her again!

World's Biggest Donut!!!

Like any other day my mum would asked me to go to the Pt England dairy and get something for her. Today she asked my to get milk for my brother because, well... all he really eats his Milo cereal. And without the milk he won’t ate anything at all! So I rushed off to the dairy. As walked past my school, to my surprise I found a huge crowd gathered in front of the bakery doors. “W-what is going on” I said in confusion. The lady next to me quickly answered my question. She said “Don’t you know, the worlds biggest donut is in that very bakery.”

Carefully trying to squeeze through the large crowd, I got a little glimpse of what they called the biggest donut in the world! And tell you what... it was about the size of the bakery itself!!! Mmmm look at that donut, ohh sorry didn’t I tell you that I love love love donuts! All I could think of was, can I eat it, can I ate it?!

And then I realized that the bakery workers were trapped inside the kitchen! The donut was way too big that it trapped them inside!!! They needed help and quick. With no hesitation I ran though the screaming crowd and herreid to the dairy and asked for there fire extinguisher.

Then I ran through the crowd again and slammed the fire extinguisher on the door of the bakery! I did this several times but it didn’t work. So I found a stronger man to do it for me! And sure enough... the door cracked open!!! The bakery workers were free! They all thanked me for saving them. “It was nothing” I said proudly. After I ran straight home with the milk and told my family about my fantastic day! While I was telling them the story... I was also munching down on my World's Biggest Donut!!!   

My Toy Story... Movie

I hope you enjoy my movie!

My favorite toy!!!

My wet Holiday!

Have you ever had a holiday of when you just mainly swim in the pools? Well that was my whole holiday once! It was so fun but afterwards I would always be so tired that I would take a 30 minute nap! Did I mention that this was every day for a whole two weeks!

After all the hard work I have put into all the swimming... it was all worth it! Now I'm so awesome at swimming. Even better I can now swim eight laps of an Olympic sized pool!!! New record. I love to swim. It is to favourite and best sport!
