Social Studies: Haast to Milford Sound Road

Say I lived next to the Hollyford River and suddenly… A road is built right next to me and the noise of the traffic keeps me up ‘till midnight. The pollution in the air smells terrible. Cows near a river means pollution, more tourism means pollution (We exhale Carbon Dioxide) and littering, more cars mean more pollution. Untouched land is going to be ruined and animals will be forced back by the barrier of new civilization. Get my point? Building the road is a terrible idea.

Social Studies: The Rainbow Warrior Bombing

“3, 2, 1! Fire in the hole!” (Massive bomb noise that cannot be computed). Another Nuclear bomb was set off in the atoll. That was when the Rainbow Warrior sailed in. “Ce bateau n'arrêtera pas de protester/That boat won't stop protesting” So spies set a couple of limpet mines on their boat. “KABOOM!” There goes the generator. “BANG!” There goes the motor. The Rainbow Warrior docked at Auckland and sunk beneath the waves. What went wrong was that somebody died… oops. And then we were arrested and convicted of manslaughter. Yay.

Social Studies: 1981 Springbok Protest

The time has come to… Watch The Springboks VS The All Blacks. This game is gonna be awesome. NOT.  Smoke bombs were dropped and bats were raised. I mean come on NZ, you don’t need to be split in half any more than you are now. People just wanted to watch a rugby game. But nooo. The whole thing turned into a bloodbath, people got injured and died. There were over 150 000 people who got charged with offences in the protest. After rampaging for fifty-six days through July, August and September in 1981 it finally stopped. But the rift between NZ and SA was never healed. At least I can go back to watching my rugby in peace. And maybe from the couch, not the stadium.

WPCA Challenge 5: Skiing at Temple Basin

On Monday morning we went to temple basin to go skiing. I went snowboarding instead and by the end of the two days we were there I managed to learn how to control it. overall I liked the trip and can't wait for next year.

My opinion on School.

I think that you don't need to go to school, (It's really just another way for your parents to get rid of you during the day) because you don't always do your best thinking at school, normally you're too focused on one thing or another. Say you were doing maths, you have to figure out really hard equations but your brain gears just are not working, so you can't think about anything but maths.

Albert Einstien was considered stupid at his school, but what the teachers didn't know was that great ideas were bubbling up inside that massive brain of his and they were so complicated that he couldn't properly compute his ideas into words. Then, later in his life, he became a great scientist and school didn't really help with any of this.

I mean, sure, you need to learn how to read. From when you are four you should be encouraged to read at least half an hour a day, that way you learn new words and that means more words to speak! Excellent (Practice hand writing at home in your spare time, as technology is taking over the world!).

My point is that most of the greatest people were considered as failures at school and came out on top as the best, E.g. Mark Zuckerberg, Steven Speilberg, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney and lots more.

(If your Mum forces you to go to school, she probably knows best or wants to get rid of you for the day. I had to put that in there).

My weeks reflection

So this week we had the cross country, Steve Gurney visited (famous athlete) and gave us his story, an electronics guy called Andrew, He taught me how to use a Raspberry Pi computer and how to make an alarm off monitoring heat. I came second in the cross country, Steve Gurney tried to bite Daniels leg off and Andrew made an alarm. So that is my interesting week folks!
