Saving the world

I think that earth hour is a good idea. but i personally think that we should go for a whole day with out lights. one hour does not make a difference. we could make a difference by using less electricity during the day we should open the blinds or curtains and open windows for air. like for the buses the they waste so much electricity because they leave there engines on all the time they are waiting to pick us up. They should keep their engines off intill it is just about time to leave. that i how it think we can change.

Malaysia Week March 2009

Malaysia Week March 2009

In middle school we all have the opportunity to go on Malaysia week. This is when we all the grades are mixed up and we are sent off around Malaysia to have amazing adventures. There are many sites we can go on split into two types coastal and rainforest. We were asked to fill out a survey which showed our comforts and experience levels. Some of the questions were about lighting fires from scratch to sleeping under the stars to whether you needed a real toilet.

I was chosen to go on the most most challenging rainforest site. This was called Ulu Pearak and was a rafting adventure. Ulu Pearak is up on the Malaysian side of the border with Thailand we took a bus trip for 6 hours, then started a six hour hike which only took our group 3 hours and 45 minutes, it was hard but fun.

Our site was extreme we had to pack as little as we could into a small cloth backpack with uncomfortable rope straps. Everything had to be packed into zip lock bags before going in the backpack. It was hard to decide what to take and what to leave out.

For five days we were rafting for three to six hours everyday. We were in a dingy in teams of four with two guides. The rapids were level two to four and wild, it was wet and very tiring. In some places the water was two rough and we had to carry our packs and paddles and walk through the jungle to a safer bit of jungle.

Malaysia Week was the most tiring but the most times of my life so far I can not wait for next year to see what a coastal site will be like. The main word to describe the trip is

WOW.

Middle School

Its been 5 months of 6th grade and 4 months until 7th grade. Mrs. Narsiman in class today asked us to do a WORDLE on what things you think of middle and pick 15 to 20 words to put in a WORDLE there were so many words I could think of but I narrowed it down to 15. Then we have to look a it at the end of the year look back at it at the end of 6ht and see what we thought of middle school then of middle school back then. some of my words mean. Like Responsibility you have much more in your hands now. I put PE down because I think its one of the best and most fun classes in middle school. Homework you get a Little bit more homework than ES. There are lots of fun things in middle school.

Leaders

A leader is someone who does good things they are strong trustworthy inspiring loyal good talkers and good listeners.

I think Nelson Mandela was a good leader.

He was in prison for 27 years for his belief of anti-apartheid, he wanted everyone black and white to have the same rights. All over the world he was a symbol of hope and justice. 4 years after he was released Nelson Mandela was the first president to be elected in south Africa when everyone was allowed to vote in a democratic election.

A famous quote of his when he was released form prison was:

“Friends, Comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.”

SPCA

There are millions of animals a year that get left on the street. Old, young or seriously hurt. But they all just want to be loved like Jerry here the cat he just wants to be loved, his owner kicked him out when he was only one year old he was so sad he almost gave until the SPCA took him in and he was nursed back to health. 5 months later he was adopted. now hes like snowy the dog he never had problems like Jerry he was loved and played with like a human. You have to think Jerry was one of the cats that didn't get put down. But the SPCA still has some problems that we can help with they need some of these things like puppy pens, food and water bowls, old towels and litter box's. So animals have rights and heeling's so don't abuse them that.
