Your post needs to:
-Explain why you choose your particular instructions and where you got them from.
-Give the instructions.
-Have a photo of your finished product (and can include step by step photos if you can manage it).
-Summarise how you found everything - were the instructions hard to understand?  Did your finished product turn out as you had hoped?

 I chose to do origami because I really enjoy making crafts and things out of paper etc. I especially enjoy making origami because of how successful our AUAHA3 origami presentation was, I was astonished at why we didn't get in first place.?o.o

Here are the instructions...CLICK FOR INSTRUCTIONS:)  This is a good origami website, you can have 'moving' (animated) instructions or the 'step-by-step' reading instructions:)

 PICTURES :D








My finished product turned out as I planned it to:) The instructions were good and easy to understand because  the steps were visual and you can, pause, fastforward, slowdown, stop, or start the tutorial again if need:)

It was 12 o'clock exactly and that was when I planned to meet my best friend Jeff Wiggle (He particularly liked the colour purple and he could never stay awake). He was running late because he said he had to help to be a seeing person for blind dogs. I was anxious to tell him something, I've been holding it in for a while but i'm sick of keeping it from Jeff.

He walked up the stairs ten minutes late, but oh well, as long as he was here to meet me. We grabbed something to eat and started to conversate about the concert about to happen in four hours. I was ready to tell him about my secret until his phone started to ring... After his quick talk over the phone he said he had to hurry home to read books to the elderly possums in Canada. I was confused, i thoght that he may also be keeping something from me too, i mean like... today was saturday but he usually did that on a midnight-friday. It was very strange.

He quickly arranged to meet up in three hours and ran off. Now I was stuck by myself still with my untold secret at a shopping mall food court... living the dream. Hours went by until it was two oclock when he arrived. The concert was in an hour so I needed to tell him right away. I destroyed his phone without him knowing somehow and started to speak. I stuttered and just decided to pull off my brown-haired wig. He looked shocked, I told him about how my name was not ciley myrus it was actually mannah hontanna.

I felt better and sighed in relief. He just stood there... He then started to smile, then giggle, then laugh. I was puzzled, he quickly spoke saying that my name was horrible and that he knew all along. WIERD. But true I guess, the wig fell alot while I was around him earlier and yesterday and the day before...  Jeff's smile then turned into a concerned look, I asked him what was wrong and his response was, "during all my spare time I don't do all the stuff you think I do..." SHOCK! "What I really do is,... catch up on my English homework, which is TWICE AS HARD as the things you think I do!" "I mean," he continued, "It's there every single week, dude I HAVE NO INTERNET, so instead I do it on paper until my friend says you have to add a link........ HOW DO YOU DO THAT ON PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "So now I do it on school internet. THE END:)"

I was surprised,  how can that be? Poor Jeff. Oh well. THE CONCERT!! I panicked, I forgot all about it. That concert was my concert, I am supposed to perform as Ciley Myrus TONIGHT! OH GOSH! I then asked Jeff for a ride to the concert, we traveled in the Big Red Car of-course all the way to the concert.

I performed well and I was happy. THE END.  :D

MY HOLIDAYS

The first week of my holidays were mainly spent preparing for the next week. We made sure we packed all that we needed for week inside the suitcases, and the rest went into our carry-on luggage. I was fully excited, ready to fly to Gore, in the South Island to help with a holiday programme.

I have never been on an aeroplane before and that was my first time, it was awesome! When we arrived in Dunedin airport, we drove straight to Gore, that took us a few hours so most people (not me,) slept on the way.

We helped out with the holiday programme and we explored most of the south Island. In our spare time we also did some fun activities, such as; quadbike riding, Shooting (shotguns and air rifles), boat cruises, tramping, going to the beach, penguin watching, farming (kind of...), etc.

Overall, the trip was a great experience and we are hoping to go back down to Gore next year:D!!!

SURVIVAL GUIDE

Tips for Year 8's to survive AC :) :3 :D

Learning: FOCUS O.O, save discussions and 'silly behaiviour' for after your work (major work) and tasks. There usually is 100minutes in each period so if you are a fast and determined learner (like me..) you will have plenty of time for fun! :D
-Also make goals (private or 'out there').
-Hand in homestudy on time.
-Collect commendations.
-Extra work! (optional but reccommended.)

Homework: May not seem like a big deal, but to teachers.. it is. Usually homestudy is completing assignments or gathering research to help you with your next class. Homework can come in many different forms such as; written essays, posters, powerpoint and ofcourse by the INTERNET.
MUST BE..
-EXCELLENCE standard (jokes but higher than acheived is good, AIM HIGH lol.)
-Handed in ON TIME.. (some teachers may extend the time if they are feeling kind enough.)
-Must be presented well. (neat handwriting helps, i dont have neat handwriting which is why I type sometimes instead.)
-NO CHEATING (Teachers can see right through you! not literally. They know if you are cheating.)
(REMEMBER they have internet access too, all they have to do is search wikepedia or copy/paste into google and you're 'stuffed'.)

Friends: It's not up to me to decide which friends you are to have.. if you havn't noticed, it's yours (or your parents ;P). But here are some tips anyways. ||
TIPS:  <|=========================
-Find the group that has the same intrests as you, or who you think you would get along with!
-If you have no friends.. SOCIALISE:D, dw f your lonely for the first few days haha. You will get to know people as you go along.
-Stay away from 'the rebels' they are disrespectful losers:). Instead just sit back and watch them embarass themselves and slowly get expelled/kicked out/suspended, if they bully you or your friends tell someone blah blah blah and if they continue just see what they would be like in the future.. and laugh! or help them.. your choice lol:) (jokes dont laugh (out loud))<--lol!! brackets in brackets!
-Unless you are wierd and attention seeking, stay away from the dramtic, crying, sobbing, raging group. They will one day backstab you or blah blahhhhhh, just stay away from them:)
-Dont label people before you know them! which is what I did.. but I can do that because when you read this I will be year ten LLOLOLOLOL >;D.
-WARNING!! STAY AWAY!!
*PEER PRESSUE!! dont give in!
*DRUGS/SMOKES/ALCHOL(alchol until your legal age. yet I still reccommend you to stay away from it.)
*BULLYING. Dont be a deppressed, jelous, stuck up,stupid desperate bully.
*DRAMA!
*FIGHTS.. that means participating and watching.
*STRANGER DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teachers: HAHA goodluck! I'm sorry but I cannot help you here. I cant really tell you what teachers 'are like.' That's something you have to figure out and experience throughout college life. They can be kind, mean, wierd, useless(not at AC though), funny, blaaaahhh blaaaaaaaaah blaaaaaaaaaaahh!

HAVE FUN YEAR 9's!!!

THANK YOU:D :D :D

16 November 2011

Dear Mrs Howard,

Thank you for teaching me and our 9IC class. Science is my favourite subject at school, taught by a dedicated, inspiring, leading teacher. I would also like to thank you for putting up with 9IC for almost a whole year:) I have enjoyed learning in our science class about various subjects, such as; chemistry, biology, etc.

This year in science was a productive and ofcourse fun year, I also really enjoyed the science fair tasks (I hope to participate next year.) I hope to see you next year and learn more. Have a safe and fun holiday. :)

Yours Sincerely,
Venus.

CELEBRATIONS!!!!

CHRISTMAS:D

Christmas is a Christian Holiday to commemerate the birth of Jesus Christ:D Although this is a Christian event made to celebrate the birth of Jesus, many non-christians worldwide also celebrate Christmas but they change the true meaning into a holiday of gift giving, lighting of christmas trees, meals, display of decorations, etc. In doing this, the true meaning of Christmas is ignored.

My family celebrate Christmas by gathering together as a family and having a big meal:) We also go to Church events being held. The Church event includes coming together as a community, playing games, singing, worship and also having a bbq:D

Christmas is a very special and important occasion that I celebrate with my family, Church and community;D I can't wait......... ;3

Venus :D






LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
