Pink Bubble Gum Flavoured Broccoli??

Summary- Mcdonald's have created bubble-gum flavoured broccoli. It did not work exactly well. The bubble-gum flavoured broccoli was an attempt to  prove that McDonald's promotes healthy food.

My favourite Film Festival Video

Summary

My favourite Film Festival Video was made by students at Stonefields School. It’s called Lazy Boy. Lazy boy is about a young boy who sat on his couch all day doing nothing except call his mum to come all the way home from work just to get the remote which was on the table near him.

Opinion

This was my favourite video because when it comes to my little brother sitting on the couch he becomes lazy and I end up doing everything for him.  I’ll also make sure my brother watches this so he can learn not to be lazy and I can get revenge on him.

See Lava?Run

Summary The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii has been erupting continuously since 1983. Usually the residents are lucky as the lava flows away from their homes, but this time it is oozing slowly their way.

The lava is moving about nine metres a day and authorities say they may have to evacuate homes in the coming week.

Opinion  I think that this is a bit scary. If I was living around there and the lava was headed my way, I would pack up and move fast!

A Leech Up Your Nose??

Summary: A 24 year old backpacker from Edinburgh, Daniela Liverani, found an unwelcome hitchhiker in her nose! The sneaky tagalong? A 3 inch leech!

A House Full Of Spiders??

(Summary)-  Brian and Susan filed a lawsuit against the house's previous owners, who did not make them aware of the spider problem. Jamel Sandidge, considered one of the nation’s leading Brown Recluse researchers, estimated that there was between 4500 and 6000 spiders living in the home. The spiders even paid Susan a visit in the shower, falling from the ceiling and washing down the drain as she dodged out of its way. Two pest control companies were called out to the house, but neither was able to solve the spider infestation.

(Opinion)-   I couldn't believe this when I read it. If I were them, I would have called for help or else it might’ve spread to their neighbours. Lucky for them they got it over and done with.

Listening To The Tongan Radio

On Saturday my mum,aunty and I all listened to the Tongan Radio. The reporter said there were Tongan girls pretending to graduate. The reason why the reporter was sharing this story is because the parents organised a big feed at home for nothing. This happened in the North Shore,Melbourne(Australia), and Wellington. We were all  very disappointed.

Our New church members

On Sunday my family and I  got ready to go to church to meet  the new members who are coming to our church. when we welcomed them to our church some of the ladies were cooking. We all sat in the hall at the tables and were eating. The new members had their own table. My cousin and I helped a lot so  the new members allowed us to sit with them and eat.

Smart Decisions

When we share on-line we will make smart decisions about what personal information we share

• I will use my first name only
• I am going to think carefully about what I share on-line and if I am not sure I will  ask my parents, teachers or principal.
• If I can’t ask anyone or I am not sure I will  keep it private
• I will be sharing what I am learning, new knowledge and information relevant to my learning

I have been learning to make safe and careful decisions about what  personal information  to share on-line. For example, I won’t share my age,first name and last,date of birth,address, and where I live.

Sometimes we can find it hard to make some of these safe decisions so I will ask an adult, teacher, friend or someone I trust to help me make the right choices.
