Nata Primary School’s Volleyball Tournament

The Nata Primary School’s volleyball team has a tournament this weekend. They are competing against 19 other schools. This team includes boys and girls, with approximately 9 boys and 7 girls. Last year they won first place. They are looking for a sponsor to help them with new uniforms.

I thought that this was a good idea because it is something that people can teach and the young people can learn. I think if there was more teaching, there would be more learning and then people would have more intelligence when it comes to sports. This also would lead to more exercise with the students and that would be great.

Imagine if we could travel to another country to stay there for a while and teach them a sport from your country. If you had the chance to do this would you? Think about how happy you would make someone small and to see their smiles would be worth millions.

Volleyball results!

Flin Flon was great. We all had fun times and there was many good memories there. When we played on Saturday, we won 9/10 sets and got 1st place! I was so proud of our team, it was only our second tournament too. We all felt very good about ourselves knowing that practice makes perfect and that will give you a win. Good Job Tigers!

That’s Music to my ears

To me music is something I need to show people who I am and what I like. Without music I could not live through the day. Music is pretty much my life. I use it to show how I feel and I also use it to show what kind of mood I am in.
I listen to mostly pop and rock. I like the song Enter Sandman by Metallica and I also like Sad but true by Metallica. I like them because they are different than the regular songs you hear on television.

The Power of the Sun and the Wind.

I was just checking out one of the blogs I have subscribed to called World Changing and something caught my eye. It was a post about a light powered by the sun and the wind. It is a street light that will be in Canada. I thought this might be something cool to write about.

This streetlight is called Philips Light blossom. It will reduce light pollution and help the environment by doing so. The light is in the form of a flower and the “petals” rotate around and around collecting wind energy. The lamps will dim during the night and when the motion sensors are activated they will become bright.

I thought that this was a great idea because now people are making things to help the environment. Personally I think that the company should make more like this that can go inside your home and make energy.

Here is a video about this Light Blossom:

Volleyball in Flin Flon

Something new is up and I thought you might like to hear about it. We have a volleyball tournament this Friday. I am really excited. We get to go shopping and we are staying at a hotel. We are going to have a lot of fun because the hotel has a swimming pool and it also has a whirlpool/hot tub. We are going to be versing a couple of teams and we will do great. Also today was Frontier volleyball tryouts.

I thought that I wouldn’t make the team and that I was right about, I knew that I had to have some massive skill to get there. Alysa made the team and I am very proud of her. She is also on the volleyball team I am on. She has a really good serve and she has a really nice set. Taiya made the team too. She has a very consistent serve that has got us lots of points. Logyn has a great overhand serve and her setting is amazing. Skye never made the team sadly, but she still has an amazing overhand serve and set. These girls will do great on the Frontier team for sure, and I know that they have great team spirit. These girls are great and will do awesome, with their skills we are sure to win this tournament.

FIRE, FIRE!

Greece is ablaze. There is a large fire around that area, and it is leading to many disasters. The fire has reached the ancient city of Olympia. Simple things like flicking your cigarette out the car window can set a fire there.

Some people are blaming the disaster on Global Warming and arsonists. Here are some pictures from Greece:

Here is a home video:

Imagine if this was happening in your country. What would it be like for you? This is actually something to sit down and think about, how would this affect your life?

We may not think much of it because this is in another country and all we worry about is what is happening in our country. I think that this is an issue because this is showing us something important. I thought that this is something sad, we don’t care about what is happening around us.

Commenting

I thought that this would be a good topic to write about because our class is doing lots of commenting.

Commenting is not very hard. The purpose of commenting is to encourage people to write more and to give them tips to improve. I think that if you do so people understand that they can do better and they try harder each and every time they write a new post. Also, writing comments starts conversations between two people. Doing this people want to write more so that the audience will be happy. Leave Comments and make people happy! =)

The meaning of being Canadian or American

Making a Photostory.
Making our photostory wasn’t as easy as I thought it may be. It was hard to put your own story inside the photostory. My class made our video’s about what it means to be Canadian while the class in L.A wrote about what it means to them about being American. Our video’s had some similarities and some differences like you would expect.

Similarities between Our videos and theirs.
Personally, I thought that the Canadian videos and the American videos were equally good. They both had personal stories which was like adding your own stories into the photostories. They also had some great meaning. Each video had it’s own meaning, but the thing that I thought was cool was although we are from different countries we all had the same idea on how are our countries are both free. I also believe that I thought that was something that was cool but there were some differences.

Differences between Ours and Theirs.
Just because we are from different countries doesn’t mean that we have different feelings about each of our countries. One of the things I noticed between the videos was that we each had different ideas of our countries. The kids in Los Angeles wrote about their freedom in America and most of us wrote about our experiences with Canadian nature. I thought that our videos would be completely different then ours because they lived in a different country when the truth is we both like the freedom we have in our countries and we are happy with the features that they give us.

Overall I had fun doing this project and if you would like to see our class’s videos and the class in Los Angeles, go here.

She looks like a human…but is a ?

I read a blogpost that talked about this robot that looks like a young female. This robot-girl has the appearances of a 5 year old. I think that she looks that old too. She has silicone skin and 50 sensors. I think that this is very creepy, because of the features of this robot.

Can you picture a tiny robot roaming the streets of Japan, Canada or any place around the world? This makes me think that robots are going to take over the world or something. So, what do you think of this mysterious robot? We probably have different ideas about  this robot and I am curious to know what you are thinking about as you read this post. Go here to read the post about this robot-girl.
