bullying

I remember a time when i was at my old school and I saw a fight and did nothing about it. Two guys were fighting at the very edge of the school alone and I just happened to be play tag and ran past there. Then i saw them fighting I felt like doing something but if I did I was afraid that he would do something to me so I just pretended that nothing had happen and ran off.

That night i felt really bad and I couldn't get to sleep. I kept worrying about it and thinking that how saw me a now he thinks that I might tell so he might do something to me but i suddenly went to sleep. In the morning I was really nervous about going to school but when I got to school nothing happened for the whole day and that is how i saw and did nothing about the bullying.  

A time when I showed courage was when I was doing my first Interschool Cross Country race in Malaysia. We had to run 1.5 km half way around a lake. I was in 4^th grade when I did this.

I was nervous and scared because it was my first time running for my new school ISKL. It was scary because there were so many people from different schools and people watching me. I wanted to represent my school and show how well I could do and my school could do. I wanted to try hard and be proud of how I did and also to have fun and be fit.

When I finished the race it felt good but I also felt a bit sick and needed a lot of water. I was very hot and sweaty. Mr Whiting was at the finish line and said “ Nice One Mate” as I crossed the line.  I was proud of what I achieved and it was worth trying hard and having the courage to do something new.

Blogpost 3 question 3

Archeologists studied artifacts from early humans to learn about how the cave people lived. One of the reasons is because of the cave paintings.


One of the Artifacts was found in france, deep in side the cave in a low room. The clay sculpture of the two bisons was 23 inches long and made 10 to 14 thousand years ago and made out of stone, with cracks in the golden clay bisons. There was also a blue light in the back ground. The two main ideas about these cave sculptures are because the cave belonged to a certain clan and there were special ceremony called the coming of age, deep inside the cave. one small clue that the scientists found was foot prints of young people have been found near this sculpture.


Another painting was the cave painting of the animals. There were seven deer and a chest in the background. The uneven walls made it look like a tunnel. This painting was created over 17,000 years ago. Social scientists believe that artists wanted to capture the "magical powers" of the animals. It was painted because they believed in spirits.


By studying all these artifacts Archeologists learned about the life of early humans.    

Archaeologists

   An Archaeologist studies people and the things they did a long time ago by looking at the things they left behind. They often have to dig things up that have been hidden along time. 


Archaeologists normally work on sites. A site is a place where they find old artifacts (these are things made by people a long time ago). Sites are normally out side and the work is physical. They use a pick axe to pick at the rocks and shovels to dig. They use a lot of measuring tools to record where they find things. I like doing physical tasks and would be good at this.


There are lots of people working on a site. You can have geologists helping you working out the soil types and where best to dig. You can have construction workers, they make the land safe for workers. You have people digging some people sifting the dirt for artifacts and also people recording and labeling things found. It takes a lot of team work. I like to work outside and work in a team. This is something i would like to do.


After they find artifacts they go back to their laboratory to study what they have found. Archaeologists are like detectives because they find out how the humans lived in the past.

Introduction

Hi my name is Sam and my birthday is coming soon. I am from New Zealand and have one sister in 4th grade, two Hamsters named Coke and Junior, a cat named Bella and some fish.


The last three books I have read are... Warriors the Fire and Ice By Erin Hunter, Warriors the Forest of Secrets and Warriors the Rising Storm. All by the same author. All those books are about 4  different clans of cats Wind clan, Shadow clan, River clan and Thunder clan, how they can survive in the woods and try to get along with each other.


 The last movie I saw was the Last Air Bender about the four elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Long ago there was an Avatar - an air bender who is trying to save the world because the fire nation attacked but before he defeats the fire lord he must master all four elements.  


My academic goal is to get good grades! What I need to do is never forget my homework and get   organized!


My favorite holiday was when I visited  the Gold Coast in  Australia. I went to  all the theme parks such as Movie World, Sea World and Wet 'n Wild. I was 7 at the time and I went with my Grandmother.


I would describe myself as:

•  nice
•  sporty
•  caring
•  friendly
•  fun
