Harry potter night


Last Friday room7 had our harry potter night fundraiser. There was a lot of food, drinks and fun. I was Harry but I forgot the most important part; the scar because I was in a rush. The food that I was bought was voldomorts pulverised blood which consisted of lime fizzy drink and ice cream. The quiz was the highlight of the night with my group coming second in a sudden death match.

Bye Bye

Paul the octopus experienced the biggest milestone in life: he died. He was a charity and a gambling guru. Stories might be told about him in the future, I know I would. He had Fame and food what more could he want? At least we know he had a great life and he passed away peacefully.

Christchurch earthquake

Recently the Canterbury region has had an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale. This earthquake is bigger then the one the struck Haiti earlier this year, luckily it struck in the early hours of the morning when most people were in bed. Since then the aftershocks have been the size of earthquakes all on there own they measure from 5.8 to 6.5 on the Richter scale.Although there were no deaths it doesn't mean that the damage wasn't horrific, house foundations have been split in half or they have sunken into the ground by a large amount.
It's amazing that we haven't felt it up here in Nelson.

clockwork review



Suspense was almost on every page and it helped keep the book flowing. An example of suspense is when Sir Ironsoul approaches Gretel in an attempt to kill her.

The evil wasn’t proper evil it was more unnatural evil like when Prince Otto cuts out his heart and places it in the clockwork machine to keep his family dynasty going.

There was one major part of horror, that’s where the Baron sacrifices himself by jumping out of the sled right into a pack of blood thirsty wolves so Prince Otto and the clockwork machine can flee.

Mystery is one of the fist features of fiction that came into the story. When DR Calmenius walks

speechs

Term 3 of school is based around speeches. We've only got to do 3 findouts this term instead of 4 because our speech counted as 1. The speech regionals are coming up so Jonathan wants us to do our complete best. Mines on cricket which was fairly easy since I know quite a lot about cricket and I play.
