Why is Education important for ALL children?
This is a simple question that can be answered with a simple answer,POVERTY! LNobody wants be a poor, poor child left alone on the street with nobody there for you and you having to look for your own food, water and someone to be socially connected with.But unfortunately some children have to live like that. While we are at home living the ‘sweet’ life, playing your video games while eating delicious food and not even finishing it all!People in
Africa for example, could really need that food that you through away. The food that you through away could feed a WHOLE family!
We might be worried about missing our favourite show on this big black box; other people are worried about losing their child in war or about their house being bombed.
Some kids don’t even get the opportunity to go to school and have an education which really doesn’t give them a go at having a LIFE!Some children do get to go but have to get up when the sun rises and trek out to the unknown for 3 hours until they get to school and then their brains don’t grasp the opportunity because they haven’t eaten in the morning and they can’t use this opportunity in life.They also need education for a JOB! You need a job to succeed in life and to start a family and live a happy, healthy life!Education is important for the students as they will all go through a lot of obstacles through their lives. And it’s very important that even though are not the most fortunate people in this world, that they appreciate what they already have.
And you probably don’t even think of these poor, poor people that are not as lucky as you to have this wonderful opportunity. It also helps you get a grip on life. It helps you to understand life and understand that life isn’t a simple, smooth ride, life does have its up and downs and school helps you learn about these situations so that you will be prepared when it happens to you!
They even have to face not having a safe home. Some have had terrible tragedies hit them such as; their Mum and Dad died in a Bombing and you have to live with your Grandma that has a hard enough problems with looking after her.
Their lives can be helped just by you!
I’m In, Are You?
While your sitting in front of your big, black TV, eating a nice, delicious burger, have you ever thought about the starving, scared people in poorer countries that hardly even have 2 meals a day?
This week is Anti-Poverty Week from the 12th-18th October 2008. We are also doing a campaign called Blog Action Day. On the 15th October people with a blog write about poverty to raise awarness about it. The Blog Action Day started over 2 years ago and is trying to raise concern about really important issues that are affecting our world TODAY. This year they are trying to get people to be aware about poverty and to get people to actually do something about the problem.
With your support hopefully in a couple of years poverty will be a thing of the past. And we can all live happily together since we all deserve a happy life. So please, give all your support and help STOP poverty FOREVER! Leave a comment to show your wonderful support.
Wer’e all in this together!
The Darkness Awaits!
This week we have been writing colour poems about characters from “Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games”.
Here is mine tell me what you think:
My colour feels like it is waiting patiently in the shadows JUST for you,
My colour looks like the night sky at it’s darkest,
My colour sounds silent, with nothing left, all deserted,
My colour tastes bitter making you spit it out in disgust,
My coulour feels alone with nobody with it.
My colour is black.
My character is Silent Shadow.
Let’s Go Trick or Treating!
Yay! My favourite holiday of the year, Halloween, is drawing closer and closer!
Since I was very tiny I have always liked horror movies and scary things. My favourite halloween themed movie is ‘The Nightmare Before Christamas’.
Tim Burton is also a horror movie director and has directed ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.
Halloween isn’t very big in Australia but is absolutely HUGE in America. And every year I have a Halloween party and invite all my friends.
I will tell you about it when it comes! I can’t wait!
Mario, Yoshi and Shadow make the biggest entrance in the history of China
Ready, Set, GO! The competitors shot of like a thousand bullets through a cloud of blue water. Mario, Yoshi and Shadow were head to head at the most anticipated event of history in
China.
The pool wasn’t just an ordinary swimming pool now instead of water it was more filled with determination and pride. The amazing ability was gob-smacking, these Olympians had trained for 4 years and they were now showing there country that they picked the right person to make them proud.
Yoshi was in the lead of the 100 lap race. 100 laps! Many people thought that NOBODY could ever accomplish that but Yoshi wanted to prove people wrong.
What do you think about my ideas? Do you have some words that could replace the ones that I used?Have you got any sentences of your own?Reply and tell me what you think!

Russia
For the term 2 holiday project we had to pick a country that was participating in the Olympics. I picked Russia because of my backround. Russia seemed like an interesting country.
While the hammer and sickle on a red background will always be associated with the Russian flag, in fact this flag was abolished in 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed.
The current flag is the country’s original flag, and was designed by Peter the Great in the 17th century, after he visited western Europe. The flag, a variation of the Dutch flag, was initially used as a civil ensign for Russian ships. It was officially recognized as the country’s flag in 1799.
The flag is a horizontal tricolore of white, blue, and red. When other eastern European countries began to seek liberation from foreign domination during the 19th century, they also adopted these three colors in honor of Russia. As a result, the colors of red, blue, and white are known as the Pan-Slavic colors.
Hey, That Isn’t How You Scroll Dance!!!
The Olympics have started and had an amazing opening ceremony. They had dancers and fighters and fan dancers and they even had people writing on a giant scroll while they dance! The opening ceremony mixed in with dance and entertainment but they also had Chinese history and tradition. The Opening act was people beating drums that were over 1 thousand years old! I’m amazed that the drums haven’t fallen into a million tiny pieces from old age!
The Olympics have started and will go for 2 weeks and end with the Closing ceremony. I hope the Closing Ceremony won’t go for as long as the opening ceremony! J
The Olympics are so exciting and are so much fun watching! What was your favourite event or athlete? My favourite event was swimming.
I also made a poster for our Olympics.
