Callum-Again!

Hello Everyone,
I've just been trying to download a video from the camera,but the confounded CD door thingy won't open!Heres a video of it-guess who lost... Oh and just a bit more on Scotland heres some of my family history-thebasics are: Clan Farquharson and Clan Macdonald have a portion of men who go off and create Riach.And then thats 1 new family group-simple!
Thanks ,Callum-ps. dont forget to watch my video.

Mackenzie

Hi my name is Mackenzie
this term we have been learning about food and the food pyramid and the food groups.
We also have been doing a lot of maths and in hand writing we are learning to link letters
today Mrs Bunny is teaching us.
This term has been fun!.

Hi Again-I've just signed in again on my google account(thanks Mr Hornby),and am just updating things for the family webpages-no one uses it so I don't know why I bother-but sometimes you don't expect people to do things when its not that appealing anyway.I am also setting up a radio show at ODC-it is a comedy ad-libbing sort of thing so I think I will need to practise lots-recording comedy is not my thing!At ODC we are also learning Spanish-but all I do is doodle on the workbook and write down anything I think I'll use.

At school I'm trying to get to know the computers-the card reader is the most complicated thing in the world!That's because I'm used to a laptop-you just stick the card in the side and you download them to my documents and you're done;I just don't see whats so great about this-its harder for new people to learn and you need to set heaps of things up in advance(which some people might not know how to do).Anyway I think I've stated my case;so ends this paragraph.

Actually I've just had a thought-we could put a recording of my radio show on this blog-then everyone could listen to what an excellent comedian I am not!

Now-photography,I am trying to develop in the macro setting area-I think I am getting to unusual that it comes out horribly.I think I will need to keep it simple-just grass,sand,and flowers.The photo above is not a macro-its a sunrise pic I took in 2008-if you look at that I 've improved alot-but I'm still not able to face some New Zealands worst professional photographers(you wouldn't expect me to either-I'm just a kid).

Well TTFN Everyone-thanks for reading my blog!

Erin

Hi my name is Erin.

This term we have been writing about food pyrimids and learning about which box they go in.
it has been very fun but also very frantic.

Lily.s.

Hi my name is Lily.s.

Nathan

Hi my name is Nathan
This term I made some paper Dragons. the end.

Lily.N

Hello my name is Lily.This term our school has been doing a food for thought topic.
I found in a book that iron helps oxygen flow through your body.
I also found that crunchy fruit like apples and pears help keep your teeth strong and
healthy.
Food for thought is a very interesting thing that tells you plenty about food.
Takeaways such as fish, chips, hotdogs, and sausages are not
good for you.Also sugar like chocolate and fizzy drinks are not good for you and they
also rot your teeth if you have too much of them.
You need some fat in your diet but too much or you'll get chubby.
A lack of vitamins such as vitamin c leads to a disese called scurvy.
If you get scurvy, your teeth will get loose and they will probaly fall out.

Emily

Hi, my name is Emily.
This term we have been writing explanations.Food for thought is the schools topic for the term.
We are going to Pak'n'save to look at food that is good for our bodies and food that isn't
good for our bodies. Lollies and junk food that have heaps of fat in it can block up your arteries
and could lead to heart attack.Healthy food like fruit and vegetables are better for you. Citrus
fruits give you vitamin c to stop you from getting colds and blocked noses.
You need a little bit of fat in your diet, or to much is not good.
When fish is backed, it has a slight littlebit of fat in it.

Callum

Hi-I have just accepted Mr Hornby's offer for access to this blog via my email-now I don't have to remember the account for class(even though it was quite easy),on the 28th I am going to Scotland and will correspond with class through this and skype.We will leave from Wellington and arrive in Melbourne-I am trying to plan the video calls and am converting times through the Internet to help me.

This term at school we have been studying "Food for Thought"-it is teaching us about the benefits and consequences of eating different foods.

Last Week on Thursday we had cross country-I came 3rd to last in my race,which was yr 5 boys,beating last years score of 2nd to last(hahaha!).The results were today at assembly-Waipoua(my house)had won,I hadn't contributed much but its not my thing so I don't really care.

Jayci

Hello my name is Jayci

It is freezing here in Masterton, my fingers are frozen so I can't get a feel of the keyboard it's horrible I also have a cough a cold and a blocked nose I really don't like it I feel like I'm going to die.

I have maths after school and it is always cold there especially in Adele's room It feels like antarctica in there I think that they need a new heater well in other words I mean the whole place needs a make-over and the treat jars need UP-TO-DATE things in there. Every time that you pick something out of the jar it's practically always the same.

In the weekend I played Netball we won 17_0 I scored 3 goals and chelsea scored the other 14 of them.
