My morning with me trying to wake up at 7:30am, my dad almost always succeeds. Sometimes he chucks the cat on me and sometimes he takes off all the blankets. But when I do finally wake up I get into my school uniform which is neatly on my floor. After that I go into the kitchen and get myself some cereal normally I get cornflakes but if Mum got something special in the grocers it's normally gone by the second day, all I say is "It wasn't me it was Liam". So after I've had breakfast I just have to do my hair and brush my teeth. When I've done all of that I must do the dishes. Normally when I am in the middle of doing the dishes my mum wakes up and we go to school.

The Pet Hippo

There once was a man that had a hippopotamus as a pet. Greyback. He kept him outside and the hippo wasn't very happy about being outside. So after the man went fishing while Greyback crept into the food shed and ate most of the man's food. When the man got back he saw the hole in his food shed, and saw his pet hippo at the crime. The man coaxed Greyback out with a handful of grass and chucked it on the ground. The man then fixed the hole with sticks and twigs. The man decided to build Greyback his own house and put around 5kg of grass on the side so Greyback would have nothing to complain about. But when all was going well Greyback decided he didn't want grass he wanted hay. So he tried to explain that to the man and after a lot of moaning and spitting out grass the man changed the grass to hay, so now Greyback was happy until Greyback got thirsty...

Yesterday May 27th we went looking at the disability classrooms 1ed by Bobby. I am not entirely sure what all of the disabilities were but some of them creeped me out. Devon was a smaller person he had ear aids and both his eyes were at each end of his head. There are 5 - 10 classrooms in the buildings. They have moved here because there old class got burnt by a hot air conditioner running.

On Friday my family and I were extremely tired from our trip to Wellington. Surprisingly I slept from about 7:30pm till around 3 in the afternoon and everyone had a try at waking me up (even the cat) they all gave up and I just kept on sleeping. On that same day I mainly used electronics and I went to bed at around midnight. Unfortunately I had to stay outside until 12:56am before I was allowed to use my laptop, even though I didn't get to use my laptop much yesterday my mum said I used my laptop all day yesterday. Which was around 4 hours which was hardly fair. I think you'll find it hard to believe but when we went to the government house in Wellington my little brother ate a mini almond cake because that was the only one he could have then he puked all over the carpet.

Science Test

At home in the morning I started a new science test I had to do was get three house hold cleaners. My hypothesis is that bleach will have the most abrasive materials. Get 3  teaspoons of each and dissolve them in water and see how many minerals was in each of them. I picked bleach, lemon floor cleaner and eco dishwashing powder. The one with the most amount of abrasive minerals was the bleach, then it was the eco dishwashing powder and last was the lemon floor cleaner. Then I did it again to try get different results which I did I got more abrasive materials in the eco dishwashing powder. In the end my
hypothesis was correct once.

Homework E1

I first started guitar in term 1 of 2013. My teachers name is Allan Campbell he is a very skilled guitar teacher and has taught me a lot. I go to guitar at 4pm on Tuesday until 4:30pm. I have been doing guitar through term 2 as well and I want to do it for the rest of the year as well. I do not know how much guitar cost. I do guitar because it is a fun instrument and the only instrument I play.

To use a guitar properly you need to not put your thumb above the guitar neck or your fingers wont be able to reach the 6th string properly. You need to stand your fingers up and push down on the strings and not have your fingers laying down on the string and pressing down. If you get a strap do not put it at bottom part of your strings put it in the middle of the knobs. With the guitar if you only play one string it is called a note if you play multiple strings it is called chord. The notes are E, B, G, D, A, E. To play a chord you need to play multiple notes e.g. D has got 1 E, 1 B and 1 G.

Camp Activites

Vertical Play Pen

I'm proud that I kept on trying to finish the vertical play pen it was surprisingly difficult t went you had to climb a pole with metal pegs on the side climb onto a beam stand on the beam and climb up 2 tyres and get onto the next beam. Then you need to stand on that beam and climb onto a rope and stand on that to get onto the next beam. I was stuck on  that for at least 5 mins then you have to up on a tyre then climb through the tire the sit on the tyre and the parent lowers you down.

Paintball
The most rewarding thing is playing paintball. Last year we had to raise $2000 I raised $24 and got shot to bits. This year I used knowledge from last year and stayed defense. I was not the only person in defense Caitlin was also in defense and she still had a full clip and surrendered and I was alone with a  3 vs. 1. Believe it or not I actually stayed for longer than I wanted. There were 2 kids and 1 adult. I shot the adult 10-15 times and I made 1 kid run for cover and I kept him pinned behind a tree and the third was coming behind me, unluckily/luckily I ran out of ammo, so I had to surrender, so the last three managed to get the flag and we lost.

Clash Of The Camp
The biggest challenge for me was the Clash of The Camp the food challenge. I had to eat wheat bics with tomato sauce and whipped cream which was fine for me but the drink made everyone throw up, it contained 3 raw eggs, hot chili sauce,  popcorn, pumpkin, peanut butter, jam and whipped cream it was HORRIBLE!
