Where am I

In the summer this place is great. The reflection of the water is amazing - you can
see the trees and the bright blue sky. The best part is camping on the side of the
lake in our little campervan. Cracking out the boat and biscuits and riding on the
water. Coming back the tourists are everywhere. Jumping off the wharf into the
water it's freezing.

In the winter you don't dare to go into the water or you'll be sick by the next day.
We would usually stay a night but we would rather not. It's like no man's land so
we would just leave.

WPCA Reflection

On Wednesday we went Rafting down the Arnold first we got picked up by the polytech people then we
drove to the polytech at the polytech we got changed into our wetsuit and thermals. We jumped back into
the vans and drove to the Arnold we got our safety instructions some of the things we learnt were how to
people onto the boat if they fell off and if our instructor yelled to get down we had to get down and hold on
where we had to hold on.

As we got in the water we had to learn how to paddle that was pretty easy then we went downstream on
the first set of rapids we were going about 7 km per hour and then we had started talking about trees
there where beach trees dog trees kahikatea and heaps more than he asked us do you know why the
water brown I said poo as a joke and he said it's the taniwha poo.

Then Reuben our instructor was telling us some funny jokes and then our instructor yelled GET DOWN!
We flew over the rock crash as we hit the water “woohoo” we yelled as we nearly fall out.

My Running Time Reflection

Every day for the last two years we have been running a 2.8 km run.
At the start of 2017 running was absolute torcher and I was just at the point of some days I was asking for a note for the run (yes a note for the run would sound silly now).  getting times like 22 minutes or 18 minutes and pushing my hardest I would rarely get 12 minutes maybe 11 minutes (no you would have to be dreaming).

2018 was a different story tho that straight line on my graph is 12  11 and 10-minute run as you can see tho I was getting some bad times at the start of the year I snapped out of it and I got heaps of 12 minute runs and term two came and I was getting 11 minute runs then came Cross country I won in our year for the school which made me qualify for the grey district cross country then carrying on for the year I just started to wake up and I am prepared for the run and my stats have been dropping all year my average for the run this year has dropped hugely this year.

The reason why I think I have been getting better times is that I have been biking every day and basketball fitness and everything else I have been doing outside of school and I would like to thank my teachers Mr. McAulay And Mr. S-W And I am sad to see it go

Teachers on strike

The teachers went on strike yesterday to get more pay and get more supplies for school and they need more teachers. I think teachers should get paid more to attract more teachers

No more mining on conservation land declyn

(In my opinion mining should not be banned but I have to put up with This is why mining should be banned. When you use your big industrial machines which sends smoke up in the air and all its doing is making more coal and that kills the ozone makes a huge hole in the sky and burns everyone.)

Back to the serious side of stuff the west coast has been losing heaps of animals due to global warming global warming is caused by big machine now an animals like skinks and lizards are getting washed out to sea and die its bad I was reading the newspaper (yep I was reading the newspaper) and it said greymouth skink was moving to an auckland zoo because the dont have much of a population left so they had to go.

Using basic python syntax

Today we learned to use python basic syntax and how to use trinket. Trinket is a fun site to go on it helps you learn. and to use JavaScript syntax and use things like parentheses and semicolon and case sensitive. in python you don`t use semicolons like you would use in JavaScript and in trinket we can change the color and speed and the size of the circle and what it says once you have finished like i changed mine to say lets learn dogs

My Opinion Piece on Police Pursuits

Do NZ Police need Pursuits Or Not  

I was reading about the pursuit in nelson this month and the 3 people who died this last week and it's disgusting.

Is it necessary to pursue a car if it's going to put people in danger, I wondered to myself if police pursuits are going
to cause accidents and kill people and severely injure them. Do they need to stop? Do they need to run?

This is what happens in a typical police chase: Somebody has done something wrong, gets in a car and speeds down

the road and a highway cop car comes and chases the other car and the car that's running goes to fast and spins out

and people either die, get severely injured, wreck properties and or they will just go to jail.

Why do they run? I reckon it's because they have a lot of money that they stole or they have just been pulled over and  

the are running from another cop.

A way to fix the problem. Well we could make it a higher fee for a fine and or if they do run they could give them a licence ban.
We should be able to walk or drive down the road thinking we are safe and not thinking we are going to be hit or near missed
by a car.

Cave Stream Reflection

First time cruising through the cave a long 2 hour walk. In the car packed up with Liam, Reed, Jai and our driver Tony first couple of minutes into the ride we decided to torcher Jai. An hour and a half crawled buy and we were there getting changed was nuts we went over the hill and we all got dressed and Reed was mooning us getting the wetsuit on was a struggle. Everyone was dressed and we got a briefing about the cave from Mr. S-W.

At the entrance of the cave, it was slippery and Konnah slipped over, right at the start and got wet the first corner was the deepest and as you would expect it would be cold. the was no point of ground that hasn't been touched by water. there we heap of mini caves and the biggest being the one near the ledge and there's a story about a hidden bible it was not found. The ledge that we sat on was cool we found out my helmet was glowing.

Comming up to the waterfall was cool we saw some big spiders and the waterfall was hard for most people and hard for me coming up to the exit was was a long wait and climbing up the ladder was was scary and dodgy and crawling and holding onto the chains was cool.

Calculating Distance

The ref can't always be right

A bad ref is the type of refs that be nice to one team and horrible to the other team and can call stuff like no try and foul when the other team gets a goal in and It counts.

Good refs well they aren't a thing because everyone on the opposition would think if the ref calls foul on the other team the opposition be like no foul bad call.

But the best type of ref is an even ref an even ref is the one that is from a completely different team than the two that are clashing so the ref is a passive ref and isn't taking anyone's side.

Then there are the supporters yep the supporters whining screaming moaning and crying I can go on for hours and I will … syke I won't but I can tell you about the ones that need to go. The ones that need to go are the ones that were ones that yell at the ref so to back this up to earlier this year to Christchurch V West coast day two last game I could hear the coach of Christchurch screaming at our ref bad call come on what its abuse and it sucks.

So this is my conclusion the ref can't always be right.
