If I Could Go Anywhere In The World I Would Go To...

I f I could go on Holiday anywhere in the world I would probably go to Paris, France because I have always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower and because I have always loved that country.

What I find interesting about France is the culture I have always found that the French are very unique and interesting. I specifically want to go to Paris because I know there are lots of amazing landmarks there!!!!

If you could go on a holiday where would you go?

Inspiring Song

I have been tagged to write a post about inspiring music. After I have written my post I will then tag 5 people who will write a post about their inspiring song and so on. (More Details)
I have chosen Hot Air Balloon by Owl City as my inspiring song.

I picked this song because it reminds me that no one is perfect and everyone is a little bit crazy sometimes! It also reminds me that you can do pretty much anything if you put your mind to. The song is really original and creative which makes me enjoy listening to it!

It's also my favourite song :-)

I have picked: Bubbles, jjdragonrider, Miss South Africa ,Pinky and Drumbledoor

This is what's happening....

This is my image story telling about Climate Change.

Earth People Litter Melting Ice Seal

I made this story for BAD.

Cheeky penguins (BCWK5)

I like this image because it shows two cute king penguins, one who looks like he knows he is being photographed and is confidently posing for the camera and another cheeky penguin who is imitating his mate beside him.


I picked this image because I love penguins and these two show some real personality!

Cricket (BC WK5)

One of my main interests is Cricket.
I like playing backyard and competitive cricket, But I also enjoy playing beach cricket.
I can also properly score cricket which I do every Saturday morning for my brothers team.
My strongest point in the game is probably batting or fielding.

These two links include the rules of competitive school cricket and the history of cricket.

-Cricketers should be people who do not boast; nor quit; nor make excuses when they fail. They should be cheerful losers, and quiet winners. They should play fairly and as well as they can. They should enjoy the pleasure of risk. They should give their opponents the benefit of the doubt and value the game itself more highly than the result.

Blogging Challenge WK6 - Climate Change

Climate change affects me because it means that the younger people in generations to come won't have the opportunity to see half the animals we get to see today. They probably won't get to see the polar ice caps or research Antarctica either because for our on selfish, foolish reasons we won't stop to look at the damage we are doing by leaving the light on or not turning of the TV.

It upsets me because a lot of animals are going to die or go extinct because of climate change. The human species may even go extinct because we just cannot handle the outrageous changes climate change will make to our planet.

We could stop climate change or at least slow it down by trying to make these changes to our lifestyle. (linked in purple) Please Try!

Blogging Challenge WK 3 - The Best Way to Reply to a Comment

I think that if someone leaves a comment on your blog it is better to reply in their blog comments especially if they have moderated comments. But if they do not have a blog it's good to reply through e-mail. I think replying in your own blog comments would be the last way I would respond unless they are a regular checker of your blog.

I think that responding through e-mail would be the best way to carry on a conversation because responding through e-mail almost guarantees they will receive your reply!

Blogging Challenge- Commenting WK 2

Comments I like to get on my blog include: critical comments because I like to get different peoples ideas about my blog so I can improve my blog to appeal to lots of different audiences.


I like to get comments about mistakes I have made so I can learn from my mistakes and improve from there.

I also like positive comments from people. I like people telling my the things they like about my blog!


My comments are moderated so that inappropriate comments are not published on my blog. Moderated comments are comments that get checked by the owner of the blog before they get published on the blog.

If you do not have a blogger account you can still comment on my blog. You just have to select OPENID in the profile drop list. It asks you to enter your URL and them you can comment.

Blogging Challenge 2

Here is my post for the second blogging challenge.

I joined the blogging challenge because I thought it would be a great opportunity to improve my blogging and commenting skills.



I would like to take part in the commenting section because our class have been blogging for the last six months or so. So I think that I am experienced enough to try the BC challenge!



I hope some of the activities include making posts for lots of different audiences and interacting with other bloggers from lots of different countries!



At the end of ten weeks I hope to have some more people on my cluster map, to have interacted with some different kids from around the globe and to of had fun!

Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince Movie Review

On Saturday night I went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Overall I thought it was a disappointing movie compared to all the the other HP movies but I found certain parts very entertaining.

The end was very sad but I think it summed up the whole plot of the previous movies.

Over all I would rate it a 5/10 for its exciting ending.

If you have seen HP 6 please leave your opinions in the comments!

What I hope for

In ten years I hope to have a bachelor in education from university and be teaching as a kindergarten teacher in Canada.

After I have achieved that I hope to own my own kindergarten on a farm so I can educate the kindergarten children about animals and sustainability as well as providing a safe environment.

I would like to have a bachelor in education because I really enjoy little children and I think educating them will be fun as well.

In university I will study first aid.
