Life Ed

The Life Education Trust came to St Andrews Middle School. We were very lucky to have them visit as we only see them one and a while. While they were here, each class had a session each week in Harold's classroom. All up we had three important sessions and we learnt about drugs, alcohol, and about why we shouldn't take them, and also about what they can do to your body.
On our first visit, we watch a video called "Shadows From The Depth." This was about what happens to the teenagers body if they drink, take drugs EG: Methamphetamine (P), Marijuana, Weed, etc... We also learnt that there are 7 stages from changing from a child to being an adult. This is called puberty and everyone gets it. It takes 7 years all up, and when your on the first steep, that's when you are just starting to climb the ladder.
On the second visit, we watched another video called "Web of Addiction." This was about if you are hanging around people or someone who dos drugs, you are most likely to do them your self and you will get caught in the web. Its the same with alcohol. Your friends can make you or make you feel like you have to drink. And if you don't, you wont look cool.
On our last visit, we learnt what drugs look like and what different names there were for them. We were in pair and we got given a card with a picture of a drug on it and we had to put it in the category we thought it would fit in best. It was quite easy when the lady said the names of a drug and we had to figger out witch one it was because it was colour-cordinated.
Also on our last visit we got to see Harold and his friend Big G! They sung us a song and it was awesome apart from Big G..... Harold was a puppet, so that was OK..... but Big G was a scary, robotic, drag-queen version of Harold! It was singing in a guys voice, but had pink lipstick and really long eyelash's! I WAS SCARED!
~AND YES I DO BLAME IT ON JOYCE!~
So if your 10 and under, i do not advise you to see Big G. You will cry in fear, because i almost did! :)

Hockey!

OMG! (omg means OH MY GOSH!)We just had Hockey today! It was awsesome! We would of had a draw, but someone, DOT DOT DOT... forgot the goalie gear so we lost anyway. PR and BG scored most of the goals, but we all worked as a team to help get them. The game was going great for me untill i was about to tackle someone on the oppisite team, (who had the ball,) but they flicked it up and it hit my thumb really hard! Its still swolen and broused and my mum said it might be broken so i have to go to the doctors tomorrow.

ITS ALL JOYCE'S FAULT!

:( yea...... Oh and we took PR home and we got ice cream! Yummy! It was from Mc Donalds. (Where i come from.) And yea... ok umm yea ill keep you updated to weather or not i have a broken thumb!

Science Fair TAKE 3

Abigail and I have decided (once again) to change our science fair topic on grass seeds. Our question will be something on the lines of What type of grass seeds grow the fastest and the best?

And yes Miss Morall, i know its a WHAT question, but its not comparing brands, its comparing types of the same brand and you never said we couldn't do that.......

This is what we think it might look something like this...

Yeah just pretend those brown squares are pots OK? umm yeah that's my amazing drawing skills coming though...

So that's defiantly what we are doing science fair on are we are pretty sure this time!

Comment!

pwetty pwees!

ill be your fwend!

(NOT)

Science Fair** Update**

For the Science Fair, Abigail and i have chosen our topic. Yay us!! We have decided to do dun dun dun.............. Does The Bubble Of Gum Get Bigger If I Chew More Than One Piece? We are going to do our experiment out of two types of gum. Hubba Bubba, and 5 gum. We are also going to have extra questions like which one is healthiest for you? Which flavour lasts the longest? Which one is more cost efficient? In what one do you get more of? And rate the two gums out of five. (Hubba Bubba and 5) So yeah thats our project, if you have any questions or suggestions,

please leave a comment. :)

Science Fair!

In room 7 we are doing a Science Fair. I am working with AW but we are still not shore on what to pick for our topic. :/ We thought about doing a volcano diagram, but we thought it would be to plain.Then we had an awesome idea of How To Make A Home-made bomb. So we asked miss Morrall. She said no :( And that sucks because we really wanted to blow up the school! :(

Anyways, so me and AW are now thinking of doing What Brand Of Bubble Gum Makes The Biggest Bubble? So yeah. If you want great tips on how to pick a topic for your science project, go to http://www.sciencebob.com
