Joey's Blog of majestic buttery goodness

My thought: Preparing for the SLLR changed my way of learning because before I learned through being a thinker, but now I am a communicator.The most challenging part of the SLLR was the speaking and presenting because I was nervous and scared. If I could do this SLLR again, next time I would remember to bring my computer and trumpet because I forgot it last time. The best part of the SLLR was when I presented my mask to my parents and showed them my reflection. The SLLR was great. A quote to sum my feelings “ Happiness can occur even in situations where your nervous or scared”.

My Mom say’s: I thought all the the things you learned are very advanced compared to when I was young in school, but my school has a different learning system. I was surprised that the students managed to complete so many tasks in limited time.I think that your strengths are mathematics. I think my child should work towards chinese.

My dad say’s: I thought Joeys presentation was very good and informative. Joey started out a little bit nervous, but calmed down as he progressed. he spoke clearly and confidently. I think my sons grammar,reading and writing has improved to be more expressive. I think my child’s strengths are his ability to work well with others, his ability to express myself and his concern for others. I think my child needs to work towards more organization and responsibility for his belongings.

This week I  demonstrated two attitudes. I will describe the attitudes and tell you the situations where I demonstrated them.

Today I displayed confidence. Confidence means to be able to stand up and perform or do something scary and to be brave. I demonstrated this when I had to to perform my gymnastics routine in PE, it was so scary! Yesterday displayed cooperation. Cooperation means to work well with your partners and not argument and make your work better. I demonstrated this when finishing my summative assessment because we had to work together to make the voiceovers and we did it well together.

Next time I want to demonstrate creativity and respect. Creativity means to be creative in solving your problems and making your projects more creative. I think I could demonstrate this in the fractions flip book I’m creating for the 3rd graders. Respect means to listen to others when they are talking and to take care of someone else’s things. I think I could demonstrate this when Mr.Deragons strange yet awesome lectures.

What shall happen next week?

This week I again demonstrated two attitudes. I will describe the attitudes and tell you the situations where I demonstrated them.

Just yesterday I displayed creativity. Creativity means to think and solve problems creatively. I demonstrated this when we had to think of ways to show and explain the changes of a volcano in a stop animation movie. I also displayed commitment. Commitment means to never give up and stick with what your doing. I demonstrated this in PE when I didn’t give up at badminton while I was playing against a really good opponent.

Next time I want to demonstrate confidence and cooperation. Confidence means to be confident in yourself and know that you can do it if you try. I think I could demonstrate this in PE when Im doing something really hard. Cooperation means to work well with others and not argue. I think I could demonstrate this when doing my Stop-animation video project.

What will happen next week?

This week I demonstrated 2 attitudes. In this blog post I will write things about the attitudes and write situations where I demonstrated them

On wednesday and thursday I displayed cooperation. Cooperation means to wrok well with others and not argue.I demonstrated this attitude when I was designing the attributes poster. I also displayed tolerance at the same time I was demonstrating the other attitude. Tolerance means to be able to tolerate your friends and partners mistakes. I demonstrated this when a partner of mine made a mistake when we were creating the attribute poster

next week I would like to work on commitment and creativity. Creativity means to solve problems creatively and to think creatively. I might be able to show this when I have problem with a group or if I need to think creatively for a project. commitment means to stick to a project or something your doing and never giving up. I might be able to display this when I have a really hard project.

This week i’ve been showing some attitudes and attributs .This week on Thursday I displayed creativity. Creativity is when you think of things or create things or solves problems creatively. The way I displayed it was when I was creating a stop motion animation video to display some transdisciplinary skills, I thought of many creative ways to show the video. That day I was also Open-Minded because I listened to my friends ideas. Open-minded is when you listen to your peers ideas and things they want to do ETC.Next week I would like to work on the attitude toleration. It means to tolerate the bad things and mistakes that partners or peers make. I would like to work on it because I have not tolerated my friends that much and I want to work on it. I think I can display it by doing group projects more well.What will next week be like.

On the first day we got together in our color groups and got our luggage tags. We then went to the bus and loaded our luggage underneath the bus because it is a long trip to the ShenZhen border. The bus ride was about an hour and we talked and played card games on the way there. When we arrived a the border, we unloaded our luggage and went through immigration and customs. When we left the border, we got our sandwiches and cookies.

We left and took a five and a half hour bus trip to the hotel. The bus ride was boring because I did not sleep at all on the bus, we also played more card games and talked. When we arrived at the hotel we unloaded our luggage and met our group teachers. We then settled into our rooms and cleaned up ourselves and then went back downstairs.

My group went outside to the grass field and played some games, then introduced ourselves. When we were done we went back on the bus and went to the park to do the amazing race.

When we arrived at the park, we went inside and got briefed by the dragonfly staff. The challenge was to find all the statues/areas in the park. The thing we had to do when we found the place was to take a picture with everyone else in the background of the image except the camera man. My group managed to take all nine of the photos, but when we were heading to the eighth statue we saw a dragonfly staff and he said that to get to the eighth area, we had to create a tribal dance for 15 seconds. I did it then took the last two photos. When we arrived at the finish line, it turns out that we came third place but thats okay.

When everyone came in we had some water then got back on the bus. It was 5:45 when we arrived back. We had dinner but it was not that yummy.

We went downstairs and walked to a market to interview shopkeepers and customers for our unit of inquiry. My roommate got sick so he went back to hotel early and lied down in bed. The nurse went to check on him and give him some medicine. I finished the interview with a different friend then we all went back to the hotel.

I went to my room and saw the nurse and my friend. When the teacher left I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth. I finished my daily refection and watched some TV with my roommate. Another teacher came to our room at around 9:50 to check on my friend and tell us that it was lights out time.

A couple days ago I started my art intro. The intro is for this picture.

My intro was this.

Title: Raspberries

Year: 2011

Artist: Joey Boyer

Medium: Water Colors

Canvas: A3 Paper

Meaning

This art piece is an image of a plant in the forest. I chose these colors because they match the color of the plant itself and they look nice for nature. I chose to paint this because it shows how much we should appreciate nature and that matters because it supplies us with food and fruits.

Elements

The elements of art I used in this painting are color, shape and line. For color I had red for the raspberry, green for the leaves, blue for the flower hanging over the top of the plant and yellow for the spots on the raspberry. I have diagonal lines for the leaves and curved line for the stems. My shapes are circles for the raspberry and its spots, tall semicircles for the flower and strange shapes for my leaves.

Process

First I had to think about what I wanted to paint. Next I sketched it on A3 paper. After that I softly erased the lines so it wouldn’t show over the watercolors. The final thing I did was paint over the sketch.

Background

I chose to have no background because if I did, there would be no focus point. When the human eye sees a paper, then you look everywhere on the paper, but if you drew a dot in the middle, you would look directly at that. So since there is one item in the middle, that would be your focus point. At least, that’s what I think.

I think a picture could be worth a thousand words because it depends on how the picture describes what is happening and it should have a lot of detail and its own unique things in the picture. Sometimes I think a picture is not worth a thousand words because sometimes pictures do not have detail or show anything wich can’t show anything in words. Do you think a picture could be worth a thousand words? Explain why. I do not think that the strange red painting is worth a thousand words because it does not show detail on whats happening.

On the weekend I did not really do much. On Friday, my sisters best friend came for a sleepover and they played with me also and we stayed up until 4 AM doing random things. On Saturday I ate chocolate covered Kaisershman, it’s German for flat rolled up pancake. After breakfast my sister had to take a shower and get ready for her gymnastics class at the AMC. It started at 11:30 and ended at 12:30. I sat through and thought that it was very boring. I then went to my dads house to see him. My mom and dad are separated and soon getting divorced so i go to both houses. Through the day I watched movies and played games with my sister and her friend. My dad went to his friends house to eat dinner and talk. At night for dinner I ate steaks that I helped cook. I thought they were a little bit overcooked but I liked it. After dinner I wanted to go to buy ice-cream for my special night time movies. My sister wanted to come and she begged but I said no because I wanted to go alone. My sister said she was gonna come anyways so went she went to put on her socks, I ran out the backdoor and ran down to Welcome and bought some. I came homed covered in sweat so I sat on the couch and made myself some ice-cream and watched a movie. After the movie it was midnight and my dad came home from his friends house. We all watched another movie but everyone fell asleep through it except me. I then went to bed on the couch when I finished the movie. The next day I woke up at 10:00 and ate breakfast. about a half hour later I woke up my sister because we had to leave to my moms house at 11 AM. My sister’s friend left at around 10:50. When I went back home I finished a series I was watching and then started another movie. When the movie started my mom asked me to go swimming so I did. I swam a couple laps then decided to goto the jacuzzi with my sister. we stayed there for about 20 minutes then took a shower and went home. When I went home I finished the movie I started and watched 1 more. When the movie finished, I ate dinner with my sister and it was delicious. Ater the movie I went to my room to play XBOX. When I finished playing it was 9:30 PM so I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and then went to bed. The weekend was a super lazy one.

On October 5th, Steve Jobs died. It was very sad and he died of cancer. I’ve found out that he’s never went to college. He dropped into one calligraphy class and that is what creates the font on a computer. I’ve also figured out that he actually got fired by his co-producer from apple when he started it. When he got fired, he met other people and the co-producer took his side so he grew again. I’m very sad and I wonder what apple would be like without Steve. Here is a video of his speech in 2005 and talks about the company, products and what he thinks about death.

If I had 1,000,000 £ I would buy a Lamborghini Murcielago, Bugatti Veyron . I chose the Lamborghini because it is my dream car and I think it is the best looking car I’ve ever seen. I chose the Bugatti because it is the fastest car in the world and travels at the speed of 431.07 km/h with 1,000 Hp and I would race other cars. With half the left over money I would donate all of the rest to charity so they could live better lives. For the other half I would buy a beautiful house in Canada and live close to my grandma. I would then share the money with my entire family so no one would have to work so much. I would live a happy life as a rich boy. These are the things I would do. What would you do if you had a MILLION BUCKS.

One of my favorite artists is Blue. They are my favorite singers because their music is passionate and some are like pop. my favorite singer in the band is Simon Webbe because he’s the rapper in most of the songs. I think they are artists because they create this music and have understand all of it like a painter.

My second favorite artist is maroon 5 because i always loved their song and so does my mom. My mom is the one who showed me it and my favorite songs are give a little more, Misery and Stutter. They are my favorite artist because in their albums they have a lot of genres like pop, rock and love etc. I think they are amazing artists because they create beautiful and fun songs like a painter.

This week we did many things and had a lot of homework. During P.E we played basketball games, but not matches. Tomorrow we are probably going to play a couple matches of basketball during P.E.

During music we learned the B flat notes and next week we have a test. I’m playing the trumpet and i’ve memorized the fingering but the lip movement and pitch is hard to control.

In french we have had a lot of  test and activities. This week we have had about 3 tests probably. Some were about different items and the others were about vowels and contents.

We had to present our flipped math to one or two of our classmates.For the flipped math presentation it had to be about ratios.

We also had to write a book report on a book we selected. We also started our reading logs and handed them in on Thursday. For the reading log we had to read 30 minutes a day until Thursday.

We had to do R.A.F.T . Raft is a project where we would have to write dialogue or an editorial about Donald Tsang convincing the president of china either to wear uniforms that looks like our schools design and color forever or not. On Friday we will probably record our dialogue doing a voice recording or video. I made mine pretty much alone and I made it a bit funny. I’ve completed the dialogue but have not recorded them.

We created our skits about a conflict and we in a group would have to find out a positive resolution. In my group we had 3 bloopers but a lot of retakes because my friend and I kept arguing about things we would have to say or do.

That was basically all the work we did so far.  In chinese class I had 2 Tests and we’ve had a lot of homework.

So overall I loved and hope we do this much fun again.

Today I had reading buddies. My reading buddy and 4 other kids were not not there today because they had a reading activity to do so I played a game that my reading buddy’s teacher assigned us. It was a number game and I played it with my friend. In the game what we had to do was roll a dice and write that number into one of the four columns of your opponent. There are 4 columns, ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. The objective is to get the opponents entire number lower than yours. Whoever has the highest number wins. I lost 5 rounds to my friend and won only 1. Thats all I did and then went back to the class.

Today we completed an anonymous survey about the class and the year so far. Mr. Deragon created this survey and he will review them. The survey was fun because it was simple and short. The bad thing was the questions were very long so for some people it almost took 30 minutes. The survey had 10 questions. One of the questions were how long do you do your homework every night. The answers were 5-20 minutes, 20-40 minutes, 40-1 hour and the last was over 1 hour. My favorite question was how would you rate Mr. Deragon and I rated him with the answer good and in the comments box i wrote that i only don’t like him when he is strict and stressed. I liked the survey and i only took about 10 minutes because in most of them, I wrote comments. I like the survey and hope to do it again.

When I heard this song i was talking to my friend about Bob Dylan and one of his songs. When I heard the song masters of war, i thought about the london riots and i think that i thought about that because it kind of relates to our unit. I think its a strange song because there is a lot of sarcasm in the song and he sings about war and guns. I think it connects to our central idea of conflicts that we have started to investigate because in our unit we talk about conflict and people used gun war to start and end conflict.

We just came back from a presentation in the LLAC about how to take care of MacBooks over the summer but im probably not going to bring mine home. We watched two videos about internet safety. We learned how to travel with it and how to keep good battery life and be very careful with food. Here is a video of online safety.

Today we visited the grade 9 students so we could do our three simulations. The simulations were about poverty and diseases and injurys. The simulation about poverty was showing the difference between the poor and the rich. The game was that there were 2 rich people who got 700 in game money and got to eat candy and chocolate and other concessionary food. The poor people wich one of them was me had to fold up newspapers and give them to the judges and make money. You needed to have 100 for food and 300 for rent. If you didn’t make the money then you would fake die. The diseases simulation is when you pick a card and read it. I got the card where it says that you get diarrhea and you need to work to get soya-beans and pills. The first thing that we did for the beans was do jumping jacks 50 times in 20 second and we failed. The second time we did 25 on one leg in 20 second and finished. The third thing to do was run up the big stairs on the form then hop down on two legs and to it two times. The fourth thing we had to to was hop on two legs up the stairs and down but only once. The injurys simulation was when we walk on newspaper and in certain areas there were land mines AKA bubble wrap. we had to walk carefully and if we stepped on a mine then we would get a disability. There were 3 disabilities, Blind, deaf and losing one leg. Then you would have to get a job and if you had a disability then you could not get the job. I managed not to get a disability and got a job. the job i got was to do 5 jumping jacks. The simulations taught me new things and was fun.

After the SLLRs i thought it was quite good because my parents were happy when i left the class. I liked the SLLRs because we got to play games and explain to our parents what we have done in class since the beginning of 2011. I did’t enjoy the SLLRs because some of the activity’s were hard and it was also hard to show my parents what i did bad in in class. The SLLRs were weird because last year my parents asked me tons of questions and this year they didn’t ask me as many. A Another thing i did not like about the SLLRs is that i had to wake up at six thirty because my sister was at seven fifteen and mine was at eight thirty.

At school we created artifacts for a field trip called dig day. Before we had to create the artifacts. creating the artifacts was quite hard but it was very fun. I created a sword that was made in Europe. It was used for war against other countries that tried to attack europe. We used clay for creating them, then let them dry for about a week and during that time some people broke other peoples artifacts. At the end when they were dry, we painted the artifacts and at the end of the day after school they got smashed into many pieces and we had to find them at the beach. at the beach there were 5 classes and each class had 5 plots and each plot had 5 smashed artifacts. I found someone’s artifact and I put it together and it looked  like a cross in between an oval. I thought it was made a hundred years ago and was used for praying but it turns out it was a shield.

In class we have been watching this movie called national treasure because it is related to our unit. Our teacher asked us to write a blog post about it. In national treasure 5 key events are Ben (Nicolas Cage/main character) finds a ship called Charlotte and it has clues to where to find the treasure. Ben’s friends Betray ben because the friend wanted to steal the Declaration of Independence to find a map on the back of it.

After that the y found a half brick in the clock tower witch has x ray glasses that lets them see these wordings on the back. The last major event is that the friend stole the DOI.

Here is a list of all the ways to find out about the past.

Newspapers,Magazines,Documentaries,Internet,Photos,Museums,Cemeteries,Commercials,PSAs,Flyers,Digging,Books.

Those are a few ways that people learn about the past, historians do some of these so they cant do lectures and show to other people.

In class for the past two weeks we have been playing a game called the artifact game. It is when you chose a random picture that is an artifact then interpret it. The difference between interpreting and guessing is guessing is the first thing that pops into your mind and its completely random. Interpreting is when you take time to think about it and if you guess about one thing then interpret then both of the answers are different. Here is an artifact iv’e chosen and if you want, you can play.

Please leave a comment if you play. This is how I’d like you to leave the comment.

This is a video that we watched in class and it is about hong kong’s past. We watched this video so we could learn more about 1900′s and there are many people from the past. We also watched this video so people in the class could share each others ideas

I think that todays CCC was bad because it only lasted for 8 minutes. What happened was that most of the class got to tell what they wanted to tell. Many 2nd graders ran across the field so everyone was distracted . By the time we were all focused a few of the people went then the 2nd graders had lunch and we had to leave.

Today we went to the cemetery. We took the bus ride for about 20 minutes then arrived. When we got there we got off the bus then lined up to enter. When we entered we got with our groups and got our camcorders from the teacher. We started to walk around and take some photos. The graves that were most common were the people that were in the war. There were thousands and thousands of grave stones. The youngest person i saw that died was one day old. There was one section where all the peoples ashes in the wall there were at least 600. We took this trip to explore Hong Kong’s past. Now i can explain that there were many wars in hong kong and a lot of soldiers died doing their job. There was another section where this man that died was in a grave stone in a shelter. Our group took a lot of photos mostly of the graves and where they commemorate people who died. In one place near the place where the ash was, There was a very thin grave stone hidden behind a rock and it was very long but thin. The cemetery was in Happy Valley

This is a P.S.A it tells what you think about something .

Many P.S.A’s can have different emotions because that is what they do.

P.S.A’s can be made by anyone as long as they know how to.

This one is my P.S.A and it is about children having the right to live properly.

This P.S.A slides through images with music and wording that tells you what i think about child rights.

I am here to talk about a book called Iqbal. I think we read it because its a part of our unit and the book is very interesting and talks about young children that saved many lives and made them better. I think that the hardest part of the book was all the hard words that we had to stop at because a lot of them were very complicated. . In the book i would want to know more about why was the boss so mean and treat the children wrong because they never mentioned it in the book. If i ever read the book again the thing i’d do differently is to read it alone and be more into it and maybe share it with some friends or family. This book helped me in my learning because it talks a lot about child slaves in Pakistan and helps our unit and makes us understand more. I would also like to learn about other child slaves and read other book because i enjoy learning and love the books.

I flew a 16 hour flight on business class to new york then went to my dads girlfriends parents house and stayed there for about 1 week. While i was there i went to an amazing pizzeria called Joe’s fleetwood pizzeria it was the best i have ever in my life tasted.  I also met 3 new friends. I went to a place called new rock city we watched a lot of shows when we stayed there. There was a christmas show at a place called radio city and thats basically what we did in new york.

When i went to canada I stayed at a hotel and visited my grandparents at their house everyday and i have not seen them for 4 years. I went ice skating with a new pair of skates that i bought. We went snowboarding at the bowler mountain and it was very fun except for when i fell on my butt at very high speeds.We visited our cousins and they went ice skating with us once. me and my sister stayed a night with our cousins at their house and watched movies and played games.The day i had to leave to vegas i had a big lunch with my grandparents and cousins and friends before i had to leave to the airport.

In Vegas we watched two show one was cirque du soleil and the other one was the lion king. We stayed at the hotel the entire day watching movies and chilling out in the jacuzzi . on new years eve we stayed at my dads friends house. me and another friend i met were playing video games for a long time. in vegas we also took a helicopter to the grand canyon and my sister kept a rock that was 20,000,000 years old and basically that was what we did.

today all we did was our morning exercise. After we started talking about this amazing green school it’s all about caring for the environment and learning in Bali Indonesia. Any ways after this we started talking about our teachers family and playing these guessing games about the names and middle names of her group members. We did this for about 20 minutes and anyone who guessed correct got chocolate. One person in the class DJ18 was really good he knew almost everything. one of the questions were what is the name of my dog.

Hello this is photo of the day and photo of the day is when we take a photo then summarize it and tell everyone how we feel. I think this photo is trying to show that polar bears are endangered and are close to extinction. I also think it is amazing how one man could create this artwork and show it to everyone who sees it. I feel really sad that all these polar bears are endangered and may be close to extinction.

Today and yesterday we watched a movie called WA$TED it is about these people that are harming the environment and this group of eco friendly people come to persuade them with MONEY$$$$$. These Eco people are changing a lot of things in the house so its much cheaper than before and at the end the eco person said ” I will pay you dollar for dollar that you save money on within 3 weeks and times by a year and give it in cash” . Sometimes those people get lazy and don’t do it and don’t get money. Although sometimes they could make 1200 Australian dollars. When these people see how bad they’ve harmed they feel guilty

This is our new unit on solid waste management.

What I already know: I already know that Compost piles are boxes with dead plants and manure with worms inside. These worms will eat through these dead plants. We also know that garbage trucks haul garbage and waste a lot of fuel and energy. A lot of people are causing this by destroying nature so that they can make money by producing new things. The advertisement tells you on TV to go buy this and that then later it just starts to break and this happens over and over again until theres nothing left to make. The fish stock will be gone cause when people pollute the water the fish eat those things and die. When their predators come and eat those fish those predators will die and this is a cycle until all the fish die. Did you know that to get a plastic bag it cost 50 cents and when you put the umbrellas into that machine and take out plastic, why doesn’t that cost money. Those plastic things for umbrellas use twice the plastic you use in the store. Why would you need those things for umbrellas there is no point and you would only use it for a few minutes then throw it away why not just keep it. Then comes the water bottles those bottles just waste plastic and 85,000,000 bottles are thrown away per hour all around the world. what about the plastic paper on the side that said the brand does that really matter what brand it is, your not going to read it and your just going to drink the water and throw it away without even noticing how badly you are polluting. Did you know there was a really great man who picked up thousands of those bottles and made an island that could even float. Even though you are throwing one little thing you do it every day which makes a big problem. Did you know that an average human throws away 6000 pounds of garbage a year. Did you know that a lot of people just make these productions so they can make money and they don’t even care how badly it harms the earth. U.S.A uses 40% of the worlds resources and that kills a ton of animals. Australia has the best way to deal with garbage. when they plastic and broken glass they send it back to the factory and always remake the product. all the un wanted dump goes to a landfill and they plant grass on top so they can have land. This is a really good cycle because it doesn’t harm the environment as much as hong kong does.

What I think i will learn: I think i will learn the ways people deal with trash and why everyone wants to do this. I also think we may go on field trips and see how hog kong manages their trash. I hope we can go but maybe not. I also think we may watch some videos about trash and how we can improve. I think we will learn about the fish stock and a lot of other things. I also think we would do a lot of experiments and see what would happen with different types of trash  I think if everyone could stop then we would make the environment better. If anyone wants to see more information please click here

What do I think I will do: I think that I would do a few experiments and go on field trips. I also think we may learn more about this unit but we have watched some DVD’s already and this one is called WA$TED its about these people that have done un eco things that harm the environment and there is something called the digital footprint. I may also watch more movies but i am uncertain.

THANK YOU for reading and please comment

On November 10th I learned about cyber safety and how to be safe on the internet and a teacher from New Zealand came and told us to fill out some sheets and how to be safe. She says that nothing on the internet is private and she asked us about online social networking websites. We had to watch a lot of clips and she told us how to be safe on the internet. There were also some documentaries on people arguing on the internet. Cyber bullying is being a bully online you wouldn’t do it for real so don’t do it on the internet. She also told us to write some things about what you know and how you feel on the internet. We had to sit down and watch for a total of an hour and twenty minutes. Everybody now knows that you could make someone really feel sad on the internet especially by cyber bullying. When we were there i thought about a lot of things of what i use to do online but now i know what to do. If you think about it seems a bit strange but it is nice to know see you later and thank you for reading.

On Sunday we went to this fun thing at school and its called F.F.F there was a lot of food and games. Everyone won a lot of prizes but the prizes were stationary. My mom didn’t stay but at 3:30 she came and picked me up. I was there from 1:00-3:00 and i was with my friends too. On that day there was a lot of barbecue and animals. There was one very fun game where you throw a shoe and which ever box it lands in you get that prize. There was also a bouncy castle but i didn’t go there was a lot games for girls but it was still fun. I do not know why but in the end I got a lot of prizes I think I had about 15 or so. I’m so mad that weekends seem so fast and family fun fair is over but thats life. I soon will not be doing this blog about school and all these post will not be here. Back to FFF my sister was with her friends and she didn’t want to share anything with me. On that day I realized that my entire family should be there but they weren’t  there but i was still happy to be their. I also found one of my best friends and old neighbors there. I also stuck with two of my other friends for a little bit of time and most of my friends had to leave. My sister bought a lot of candy and went to different places but i didn’t because i wanted to be with my friends. My mom went for a work out and i couldn’t go before i went to FFF i went skateboarding a few kilometers and to this playground and i was sweating like crazy. I came home much faster then my mom because i skateboarded home. After i came home i went to a computer and tried to play a game until i was interrupted and my mom told me not to play and to go change

On my break i kind of stayed home with my sister and my mom. During that time i went to this arcade a lot with my sister.I also watched a lot of C.S.I Miami season 4 and season 8. I stayed home mostly with my mom. She slept a lot which i do not know why. My friend came over and we played some video games. There was one day where my mom’s friends came over. A few of them had children that I also played games also with because my other friend was still at my house. After playing games my friends left When i watched the movie Curios Case of Benjamin Button while eating coffee ice cream i got so tired like the effect was in reverse because coffee keeps you awake. I did not go to any other countries. I stayed in Hong Kong and on Sunday i kept saying to my dad that i hate Sundays because the weekend is over. On the weekends for dinner i would have barbecue and Caesar salad that i prepare my self. I would always watch a movie until 1 in the morning. For snack we like carrots and sour cream onion soup mix very yummy. I watched some part of Lord of the Rings the Two Towers.

What I already know about the unit

I know that Solid, Liquid and gas can be formed with matter.When solid objects are over heated it turns into Liquid.When liquid is over heated it forms to gas which is poisonousI also know that Matter is everything.Solid,liquid and gas are all just states of matterThere is another form of matter which is plasma.When atoms get torn away by electrons it gets the form of plasma.Matter can never be created. Matter can never be destroyed.Matter and materials are in no way the same.Materials are things like

-Wood

-Fabric

-Types of Metal

-Brick

-Glass

What  I do not know about the unit.

Why matter can’t be destroyed.Why matter can’t be created. How does matter have different forms.Why are matter and materials different.

I have good feelings about the unit because i love experiments. I think that the unit is gonna be great because i like science a lot.
