THIS I BELIEVE

This kid. This little kid, who chose out of the millions of things in the world the choose he chose a list. A long list of 100 things that he believe. Other kids brought candy or cotton balls, this kid chose a boring list. But this is what what got him the coverage which he has today! I just cant believe that this.... 6? Year old kid made a list with 100 things important to him. Well on the reading the only let him read 30 because I guess it would take him forever to read them all jugding by how long it took him to read 30 of him with 5 second pauses between each BELIEVE things. But thats not the point. The point is the kid, this mere child took his time to make the outrageous list and he said he spent three to six hours with his mum making this list for 100 day. Ya sorry I forgot to mention that in the begining.

Libraries Closing in UK?



In the UK the government has been closing the libraries. I really dont know the reason for this but I do know that it is wrong to close them. There are people that cant afford books or internet and seek the library for information. Free books and internet is what is holding the community up. It is what the people are learning from. From taking away these libraries they are taking away the knowledge from these people. There has been a mystery person who has been placing sculptures inside of libraries and no one has seen him/her coming in or out to place these masterpieces throughout the country. One has even appeard a book festival. No one knows who this peaceful protester is whoever he/she is they are very inspiring and I cant wait to see what this person does next. The sculptures are just so pretty and I just cannot believe how this person can make more to inspire more people.

Title "Quote"

I chose this quote because its very much true. Its basically saying live life hard, because you can only live it once. It just seemed to stretch out and grab me saying USE MEEEEEEE. I just thought it would inspire some people believe and do something interesting with their life.

End of the Year 6th Grade Reflection

My favorite piece of work that I've done this year is Death Quest because of how I express the story and how I was able to turned a boring beging into a big, action packed story full of tears, sadness, myths and legends. I like it because it shows what I know and that I know what Im talking about.
One of my greatest challenges for the year is my last assignment, ICRG. Three projects in 3 weeks is hard. It may have been hard and boring but at least we had friends to do it with because of we did it alone it would be to hard and I would just faint. O-o
I learned more about china that I did know but also since we did china in 5th grade it made it a little easier to complete some pieces of work. But still I was a little bummed when we got it because we did china for almost half of the year in 5th grade which was kinda annoying.

a) Behavior

Satisfactory

b) Participation

Actively participate in class


c) Organization

Satisfactory

d) Effort


Satisfactory


5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to get better grades and learn more then I need to know to stay ahead of the class.


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to Be a better model for the new 6th graders when they come.


6. Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
No not to much but I do enjoy drawing.. Just a warning.

7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it?
The short novel that i wrote. It let me express my feelings and let my ideas flow.

8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?
ICGR. We didn't get the whole thing but we still had fun making it.

9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?

Be ready for 6th grade or you should get some extra tutoring like me when your in sixth grade.

My Favorite Book of the Year

Malice, was one of the most nerver racking and best books that I've read in my whole entire life! I mean the author should have won at least 5 awards from the book by now. I enjoyed it because of how sometimes it makes you feel as if your with the character. When I started to read it I thought it would be a very boring book but it ended up being the best book I've ever READ!!! When children fanish into thin air and no one knows were the went. Malice is my first guess. But the good thing is it's not real so Im not afraid.

It challenged me with things like, being scary or creepy. It's really more of a horror book than a children's book to me. When my sister first got it she thought it was so scary she didn't even finish it.

I would not say to read this book unless you like some gore or something that makes you lean back in your chair while reading a book. It isn't for kids who are like below 5th grade, it's a high reading level so Im not saying its to hard but I am saying it's just a bit erie.

iMovie Reflection

Im doing this piece of homework a little late so Im going to make this as short as possible but with as much information as possible.

Mao and Cheyenne
-Khufu-

They did a awesome job of making their presentation on time and getting enough information into the iMovie. They were clear on what time period and what Khufu accomplished. This was one of the top three presentations that I watched by far. The made the presentation fun to watch and still have info in it! I really enjoyed the pictures that they used and that they had the iMovie inside in the time limit.

William and Cameron
-Khufu-

This presentation was reasonable for information. But it was quiet hard to make out what the were saying because of the tones of their voices. But this was by far one of the funniest iMovies in the class. I enjoyed the photos that they used to describe Khufu. The video it self was pretty good and the info hard to make out but I enjoyed listening to the iMovie . I believe i would give it a 6/10 for fun!

Victor and Ramon
-Queen Nefortedee-

Ok I really liked this presentation because of all the information that was jammed packed into this 3-4 minute video! It may have been a little bland but boy did I enjoy it. I didn't even know about that Pharaoe until this presention came out. I think they could have used a little mpre fun but I really enjoyed it!

King Tut's Story

341-1323 B.C

Egypt was at war and nobody was able too sleep at night knowing that there king couldn’t protect them from the troubles tha1t lay upon them. Akhenaten the Pharao of at the time was in havoc and he could not maintain his own kingdom. But... At this time, his wife was pregnent and they knew that this baby would be the new air to the throne. Akhentaten was at his wives side while giving birth. “Its going to be ok.” he comforted her. “I don’t know if I’m going to make it through this. There was a curdling scream. “Please don’t scream! Your hurting my ears!” He pleaded. But the screams kept on. But then, there was silence. But all he could hear... Was the cry of a baby. He picked the baby up. “He’s a boy. The next air to the throne.” he said. “My queen?” he said again. He looked over to his wife. She lay still. Not moving at all. He looked down at the baby. “I have two children now.” he wispered. But this was true. He has one older daughter. And now a son. “Your name is Tutinkhamen. And you shall be the air to my throne.” he said.

15 years later.

“Get those walls built as quick as you can!”, “Yes sir!” “We need them built before the rain season comes! The city will not flood this year!” Yelled King Tut. King Tut was riding around the city in his Chariot ordering the servants what to do, just like any king would. Once the king was happy with what his servants had built his headed back to his palace. He was offered wine and banquets when he got back, and he happily excepted. King Tut had two daughters. Both stillborn. He was married to his Half sister Ankhesenepatan. “Sire” Said one of his servants. “What is it?” He answered back. “We need more supplies for the flood wall. We cant keep building if we don’t have enough resources.” He told him. “And what do you want me to do about that? Be gone! I do not want you peasants pestering me!” He yelled. “But sire.” he pleaded “Why are you still here? I will kill you if you do not leave.” King Tut said. “Please, we need more supplies!” The servant yelled. King Tut paused and looked at the servant. “Kill him” He ordered. “Sir plea-” The servant was silenced. Thump~. “Take him away!” The guards dragged the body away and through it over the city walls. “I’m bored with these servants. They’re all so weak” Said king Tut. “What number was that?” He asked one of his guards. “The fourteenth this week sir.” He replied. “Why do they always pester me?” he asked again. “I don’t know sir...” he wispered. Tut picked up his wine glass and sipped from it. “Are you loyal to me?” He asked one last time. The guard did not talk. “ Guard? Are you loyal to do my tasks?” He asked loudly. “Yes sire...” he replied. “Good. Then go retrieve three sacrifices to show the servants never to offend me.” he said. “Sire?” the guard wimpered. “Go now or I will kill you!” he yelled. The guard stepped back. Then ran out the palace. “And don’t come back until you have the servants!” A few hours passed and the guard did not come back.

“Were is that idiot!” King Tut yelled. Just then two guards walked into into the room. They were carrying a small sack. There was something in it. “What is it guards?” King Tut asked unpatiently. “We found a guard trying to sneak out of the city. He was one of your bodyguards.” One said. “He was carrying this note” the other said. The guard offered him a piece of parchment. King Tut took the parchment and looked at it. The king kings face turned red when he saw what was written on the parchment..

At midnight we will meet outside of the city walls. There we can consult the assination of the kings death. Come alone.
- Manisha
“And don’t worry sir, we killed the guard with the note.” The guard opened the sack and dumped a head on the ground. “Good job soldiers” He said. “Would you like us to kill Manisha?” The first guard said. “No, bring him to me... I want to kill him myself” Answered king Tut. “Yes sir.” The guards walked off to find the traitor. “Servant! Bring me more wine.” The king demanded. The servant walked over and filled the goblet with wine. He instantly picked it up and drank it down. “I will kill anyone who is not loyal.” He said angrily. Three hours past and the guards did not come back. But a man with golden amour did. “Who are you?” King Tut asked. The man did not answer. “Peasant! Answer me!” He yelled again. “I am Manisha, and I have come to kill you.” He said. He showed showed the king to heads. The guards that went to kill him. “Guards! Kill that man!” The king yelled. Ten guards ran into the room. Armed with spears and swords. Manisha then took out two knifes. “Bring it on...” He said. The guards rushed towards the traitor. Suddenly one of the guards stopped running at him. The guard fell on the ground coughing up blood. The looked back at the Manisha. He was holding a bow now. The guards equipped their shields and starting to move forward. Manisha started to fill there shields with arrows. But they did not stop moving forward. “I will get you some day!” He yelled. Then he ran out the door. “After him!” Tut screamed.

The guards rushed after him. Hours passed and there was no sign of his death. Then two of the guards walked in. The were both wounded. “Is he dead?” Tut asked. “Yes sir... But he put up quite a fight.” he answered. “But he’s only one man? What can he do?” He said. “The slaves are hard to kill when attacking in numbers.” He said back. King Tuts slaves had turned against him and were now rioting in the city. “How many guards have survived in the city?” asked Tut. “Just us sir...” The king looked down. As if he were about to cry. “Sire?” The guard said. “Round up my army and chariot. Blood is going to be split tonight.” Said Tut. “Yes sir!” He said back. The two wound soldiers ran of to the barracks.The king stood up from his throne and started to walk outside. It only took thirty or more minutes to round up all the troops.They all stood in line waiting for from their king to give orders. “We will go and kill all the slaves who appose us. Or we will make them surrender.” “If not! Kill everyone. Family member or not kill them. Or you will die with them.” Yelled king Tut. Your chariot has arrived sir. Said one of the guards. Tut climbed on to his chariot and started towards the center of the city. The army marched behind him. Once they all had reached the center of the city.The slaves, had an army of there own. “We will not tolerate any of your dumb orders anymore Tut!” One of the bigger slaves said. “Step down unless you want to die!” Screamed King Tut. “Your outnumbered by at least three thousand. You have no chance.” Yelled King Tut again. “Then we shall die!!!” He yelled back. “Kill them. Kill them all.” Said Tut. “Block out the sun.” The captain nodded. “Archers! Ready! Arrows!” he screamed. “Now!” said Tut. “Fire!!!” The captain screamed. Thousands of arrows flew into the air. Everything turned dark. The arrows had blocked out the sun. The arrows rained down onto the slaves. Killing them by the thousands. “Swords!” The captain yelled. “Charge!” Yelled Tut. The army charged towards the slaves. The was the sound of swords clashing, people screaming and blood throughout the city. “The slaves are losing! The city is our again!” Yelled one of the soldiers. King Tut looked around as the slaves ran away from the battle. But little did he know a wound slave was sneaking up behind him with a club. King Tut turned around a little to late. The slave swung the club and wacked him in the side of the head. There was a shattering pain in his head. The king made one last move. He pulled out his sword and swung it at the slaves head. SLUNK! The slaves head toppled off and fell on the ground. Everything was darkening. The light started to fade. Then... All went black for the king.

King Tut died 1323 B.C at the age of 18. He died from a shattering blow to the head. We know this because of a head injury from his mummy. Also he could of died of a disease or a leg problem. We will never really know the real cause of the kings death.

iMovie and Story

Well the thing is that Im the only kid in the class who wrote a story. Mr. Fischer noticed that I enjoy writing in class and I was leaving too New Zealend so he let me make a easier project. He let me write a story about king Tut! I was so happy that I didn't have to make an iMovie and I just sent it to him on the 12th.
This blog post is mostly about other peoples iMovies. I have to choose one pair of people to give a comment about so Im going to choose.... Ayaka's group! I know that the didn't have enough time to finish but still! The took the time that they had and made it into a information filled movie. I really enjoyed it and the took an idea, like the made it sound as if they went back in time. I really enjoyed it and it was really funny too. The even had bloopers in the end.

Learning Profiles

I learn best when... Um... I learn best when I have fun while Im learning. I also learn best when theres not too many noises around the room and nobody is moving around near me because I think thats really annoying. I also learn best when I can talk with my friends every once and awhile cause I get stressed when I become lonely. *Sniffle....

I need too have a nice work space when I work or paint or else my work gets worse and I become stressed and I cant work very well. I also need pictures around the room because I like art and it comforts me too have art around me. But if you mean I need to improve on anything... well I need too improve on discipline and grades so I can get too high school without the teachers staying on my back and not leaving me alone. So ya...

Strategies that would help me in my learning are if I can have some free time every once and awhile to draw or read. It would very much so help me with working because it would comfort me and make me feel better. Another thing I that helps me work is... Well of course! Desks! I love to sit in the back because I have great hearing and eye sight and I just think its fun too work in the back.




A thing that some teacher dont know about me is that I had trouble in all schools that I've been in. In Austrailia I never learned math and I rarely ever had art class. I only had one art class really. And I was there for 16 months. And never had homework. So ya... Thats it... Bye....

New Year Resolution

I've had a tough time thinking of a new years resolution so I just thought of one of the most best thing that comes to my mind. Grades... Yep that right you heard me! Grades is my biggest problem in sixth grade and I've been trying really hard to get my grades up. Most of the time my efforts were worthless and I just gave up. But now that it's new years I need to get my grades up so I can go to the next grade and not get held back. I knew sixth grade would be tough but I didn't know I would get that much homework?! But another thing I need to improve on this new years is... Being nicer... I need to be more discipline too. I need to be nicer to my friends too. We get in fights sometimes but half the time Im the first one too get hit! So Im trying not to get hit or pinched as much... But still that has failed... Horribly. But Im gonna keep my head up and keep walking!

On Christmas holiday I didn't really do very much... But I did go to Panang for 3 days with my grandparents... But my most favorite part about the holiday was all the presents that I got. I got some new Warhammer 40,000 figure that you can check out on http://www.games-workshop.com/gws//home.jsp?_requestid=424230 .I also got a LittleBigPlanet controller holder. But you will see me wearing one of my favorite presents around my neck. You gotta see to believe... HOW COOL IT IS!!!! WOOT! *Cough *Cough, sorry. I got some new paints to go with my new Warhammer 40,000 figure too. Oh and some new base.

One of the greatest talents that I have is... Drum role please... *Ratta tatta *Ratta tatta, Taa Daa! Painting Warhammer 40,000 collectibles! Well... Personally I think Im good at it... But I also enjoy trying too find ghosts. Thats right... The things that hide in dark rooms in horror movies. And Im gonna tell you a little secret. Come a little closer. I dont want any body else to here this. OK, my house has a ghost. Yep thats right, my house is haunted. But guess what? He only haunts one room. The game room were all the games are. But guess what else? My room is the closest to that room. So I've been tracking that ghost for around a year now. At night you can hear the ghost walking around in there. But if you stay really quiet... You can hear it whistling like he/she is working. Creepy huh? Oh bet you better look out... Because once read "Here" you will be watched by a chicken every night now. And guess what? You just read it...
