Elephants..!

I love Elephants!

What are elephants?

There are two kinds of elephants the Asian and the African. You can tell them a part because the Asian has smaller ears. They both act the same, they can cry, laugh, and scream. We can’t hear it because it is so loud.

How do they act?

Elephants all have different personalities some get angry and some like to have fun. They walk long distances in groups. All groups have a leader they are the boss of all of them, they have to look after the rest of the group.


What do they like to do?

Elephants like to play in mud and spray water. Baby elephants like to run around and have fun. This is normally when they have stopped for a rest. They all stand and talk for hours.

Elephants!!

Plutoo

Some thing i found

Pluto

1. Pluto moved closer to the sun than Neptune.

2. Pluto is the only planet that has not been visited by a spacecraft.

3. Every 248 years the two planets swap places and for about 20 years Pluto becomes the eighth planet and Neptune the ninth.

4. Pluto's own moon, Charon, is larger in proportion to its planet than any other satellite in the solar system.

5. It's 6 times smaller than Earth, and even smaller than seven of the solar system's moons.

6. It is the only planetary orbit which crosses that of another planet (Neptune), and it is tilted 17 degress
7. With respect to the plane of the solar system.

8. All the other rocky planets -- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars -- are located in the inner solar system, close to the Sun. Except for Pluto, all of the outer planets -- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune -- are gaseous giants.


9. No one knows, and the mystery may remain until some future spacecraft pays a visit to this distant planet.

10. Astronomers once thought that Pluto may have been a satellite of Neptune's that was ejected to follow a tilted elliptical path around the sun.

12 Month Diary Part Two

August:
Jack is all better he only had a cold. Today when I was walking from form hut 9 to hut 5 on the east cost. I made a new path it goes to the sea. Jack and I went fishing again it’s a great place. Well I have to go!

September:
Nothing to report!!!!

October:
I was walking to that spot for fishing I found in august well I found this box with 5 things in them it was just floating in the sea. Well the five things were; a cell phone with reception, a Knife, a jacket, a pair of pants, and a tin of corn. It will help so much.


November:
Its great having new warm cloths to wear. I only wear them at night so that they dont get warn to much. i havent used the cell phone yet, it doesnt have much battery left and i want to make a hike up to the peak to use it to have better recption. i plan to leave this month some time, i need to stoke up its a weeks climb, today i collected some furit which may turn bad shortly but i will just mash it and put it in a jar, good for energy. Tonight i will finish collecting what i need fron this hut and the spring then move on to Hut 3, and collect more food. I plan to make some rope to make the journey safer. Miss the family.

December: The climb was good jack enjoyd it, though he was mostlyt carried, he help find shelter and food along the way though. We go a bit lost i havent been al the way to the peak befor so there was no path. Almost Fell off the side of the sliff but i held on to a root there. I got up there and made contact with the family, told them to get help they sounded relived to hear from me, as i was to hear from then. It seems there will be boats out look ing for the island and i'll be going home. Im going to miss this island. It has been my home for a very long time i wish i could stay, i just wish i wasnt so alone, although jack is here i need others and a hot shower, maybe i will come back, some Day.

12 Month Diary Part One

In Year 8, we had to write a story, and do heaps of activities to go with it. One was to write a 12 month diary, the stories were about a person stranded on an island and haveing to suvive for two Years, the 12 month diary was to say some of the events that happend.

Here is it.

January:
Well today I arrived there is no one here.
How am I to live in this place, no where to sleep
No place warm. I must find a place to build a hut somewhere near water and food. All I have is my tool box, flints, some cloths, a 3 meter plastic sheet, some blankets, and a 4L bottle. This is not right I can’t spend two years here, I just won’t survive.

February:
Well I have made progress sins we last talked.
I have made 8 huts near water and food. It has been very lonely but it may get better who knows what will happen next. I have been very busy with making the huts that I have forgotten to write. The plastic sheet works wonders, it keeps the hut dry. I found a Knife in the tool box so I use it lots to open coconuts and cut twigs. I did some flax weaving for my bed. Well I have to go! See you soon!
Xxxoox

March:
Well I am cold and wet it’s been raining for a week now. I am cuddled up in hut 7 waiting for the storm to stop. I feel so cold and lonely all by my self. Everything is getting wet. How long will it take before I starve I can’t get wet or ill get sick. There is nothing for me to do.

April:
The rain has cleared up. But now it hasn’t rained in five days. The waterfalls will start to dry up and the fruit trees will die. All my belongings have dried thankfully. I have been very busy lots of trees have fallen down and so I have been storing the wood for a fire. But all will be up and running soon.

May:
It is still hot but a lot better than last month. Latterly I have had a visitor in the night and just this morning I found out what it was. A monkey I called him Jack. He has been lots of company for me and we have had lots of fun. He helps me with gathering fruit and veggies, I repay him by giving him a banana. He is very crudely and keeps me warm.

June:
Jack and I have been very busy. We went to the east side of the island and went fishing but we only caught two fish but Jack doesn’t eat fish so two for me. So I’m cooking wile Jack is collecting his dinner. We have a big day tomorrow making a new hut. And we have to supply the water in every hut. Well I have to go see you later.

July:
Well the rain has started again but that’s the last of my problems jack is sick. He might be dieing…if he dose…I ….I might not cope. He is the only company I have on this silly island. It’s not fair he’s only young. I have to go bye.

Gossip Girl


Gossip girl is full of gossip. I know you kind of get thet from the name but its way cool. It is not only a book series but a tv program!
Although i dont think it is out here, i managesd to get ahold of them. I have read most of the books and fine then very good.
They are about a group of friends and go to a private school and come from rich families, and it shows you the dramas in life and how life can be good and tough. They are in there last year of college and are going off to uni. They need to find out which uni they want to get into, for some they get into the schools and for others they have to learn they cant have everything.
Althoug the tv program is about the books, there are many things that have been changed, and bits put in and otrers cut out. If i think about it its kind of just the same names in away. But i still think it is awsome, and if anyone wasta some jucie gossip Gossip Girl is the place!!
I would give it 4/5 and give it a 15 years and up reading age.
Enjoy!
Thanks x

Flowers and rain!

I find Flowers Amazing, they are so Beautiful. There Are so many type and colours. When i have my house i will by flowers each week and sit them on my table. I like to draw flowers though they never look and good in my drawings. My Favourite types of flowers are Roses and Daisies, i fine them to be beautiful. I like many other kinds as well but not as much. In my garden we have heaps of flowers and trees. Most trees are fruit trees and when they bloom they look so pretty all white. There is a plum tree in the back of my garden, and in plum season its blooms and white! and from my house it looks like snow in the trees, and when the blossems fall the ground is covered, its really nice. When i was younger i would run around under the branches and look up at the peetals falling down on me.

Rain. Is a wonderful thing. Some people hate it but i love it. It is so nice, it is beautiful to watch it fall and enjoy the feeling of the cilled dropletshittinbg you warm skin, and you become covered in goose bumps! I used to when little, and to be honest i still do on days when im not feeling very positive, i would go outside while the rain pours down, and when i say pours i mean it, not that light stuff that only gets you half wet. Im talking about the stuff when, you go out side and you are dranched within two seconds. That is rain. you get this amazing felling. i wish it always rained. you fell so good after, maybe after a a hot shower too so you dont get too sick. My middle name is Rain I was born on a rainy day. I think that has somthing to do with my rain obsetion.

Gotta Jet.
