Life Ed
When I was little I used to love Harold and enjoy the facts about the body.
Now in Yr 7, it's different. We learn about the different types of drugs and how they affect our body. There are actually more drugs then I imagined. There's all those different types, like the stimulation drugs, the hallucination drugs and the depressants. Drugs were best described as: Anything that is not food, water or oxygen that can be absorbed in the human body. It was also referred as the web of addiction. The web is the drugs and it lures you in...
Michelle was the person who was in charge of the Life Ed in SAMS. She told us about a lot of things, like puberty. One of the many things I learnt was that there was something called the seven steps on the ladder of puberty. You can start on this ladder when you are as young as 9 or as old as 15. You spend seven years on this ladder, and normally when you get off, you are about 17. Michelle said she was never going to tell us” Don’t do drugs.” But one thing she kept repeating was “Delay your decision.” She also showed us a lot of videos about all the people who had experiences with drugs and how their lives turned out.
At the last day, we met Harold and his friend Big G. They sang a song and we got to pat him.
I learnt a lot of different things that changed my mind about drugs- not that I would have ever taken them, that is. One important thing I learnt was “Even if people have had a bad day, a smile could be the thing that would cheer them up!” :)

Science Fair!
This year is Science fair and I am quite excited because I have seen my sister do it and it looks quite fun. But she said that it is hard work and so I shall have to put a lot of effort into it:)
I am working with PR and I hope we do well! As much as I am excited about this project, I do not have a particular interest in science but I have a few ideas that might make this easier:
Does a cold room have more air humidity or a warm room?
What makes your heart pound the fastest?
Do plants grow better in soft soil or hard soil?
Does white sugar melt faster or brown sugar or are they the same?
What vegetable seed grows the fastest?
Does different ways of cooking potatoes effect the taste?
As you can see I have wrote down topics that are fairly easy to do:)
If you think you could suggest anything, please post a comment!^.^

What I learnt this week
This week I learnt many things that I hopefully won't soon forget...
I learnt how to figure out the percentage of a number and how to figure out the number with the percentage.
I also learnt that in writing, planning is a very good thing to do- and to make it detailed so that you can just look at the plan and know what to write straight away. This week in writing I also learnt how to write a book report properly- with all the right orders and what the theme is in a story.
Chinese this week was also very helpful because we learnt how to say the things in our pencil cases like ruler is chizi and pen is bi (I hope I'm right), so now I can tell someone what's in my pencil case in Chinese.
In reading this week I was working on Tuitui Shampoo and I learnt what versatile means- the tuitui nut is vesatile because it has many uses. I also learnt how to find key words in a story and how to group them together and sort them out to get answers.
In spelling, I learnt how to spell words like bronchitis and diarrhoea, which don't really spell like they sound!
I think what I learnt this week was very important and I hope to use all this imformation in later life. ^.^

Science Preassessment
In Science, we have started a new unit called landforms. This is a preassessment. We had to choose a rock, then record a clip about its texture, size and how it got there.

HC and HR Chinese dialouge
In this video we had to have a conversation with each other in Chinese. I think I was a bit quiet but I wasn't too awkward. My telephone number went good but I have to work on my pronounciation and fluency more.
