my weekend

My weekend was nearly the best weekend anyone could of ever had. It all started on a Saturday when I was getting my haircut. I was upset because I do not really like getting my haircut at all but my mum told me you could get infected if your thick hair gets to long, so at that moment I realized that I should not be too grumpy because I would hate to be like those other people who did get infected. After my haircut I got a big suprise because we got mac Donalds for lunch with a ice cream!!!!  After that we went to the farm and had a bomb fire and I was allowed to light it. We had noodles for dinner and it was as yum as a chocolate fudge. Then we went to bed and when I woke up I realized I was crying because it was such a sad dream. when we all woke up my mum, my sister and I made my dad breakfast in bed because it was fathers day. My Dad had just woken up when we made him breakfast in bed. Then he got all his presents and he really liked them. We bought him a T-shirt, shorts, a book called the murder of  king tut, a matris for his yoga, some gloves for golf and a key ring that lights up. Later that day something awful happened. Well this is what happened I was out and about on my bike when my mum and my dad were bringing a very old TV to our farm when suddenly the TV dropped on my dads foot, it was lucky that I was on my bike because I think would of gone deaf if I herd it because my dad could be herd from a mile away. My dad was gone the rest of the day. When it was dinner time I had homemade twisters which are my favourite food in the world. When I was in bed I thought it was nearly the best weekend in the whole world.

Magnext madness

On a saturday morning I decided to make some aliens out of magnetics, so I could take photos of my newly created aliens and hang them up on the wall. I made five aliens. The aliens were very hard to make, once I actually had to break one down because it was so tricky and I did not know where my mistakes had taken place. The first magnetic thing was not really an alien. I did not make an alien because I have always wondered about the pyramids of Giza, so I made them out of magnetics and this is what it ended up looking like.The second thing I made was called Octo alien because my friend said it looks more like a octopus instead of an alien. We gave it a lasers to make it look more like a alien. Then we found some square magnetics and made a cube and attached some triangle hands to it and attached it to the octo alien. When we had finished we took a photo and this is what it looked like!     The third one I made was called Diamond Die. I called it this name because it shoots whatever the shape is in the middle. I called it Diamond Die because it is shaped like a diamond in the middle so the alien shoots diamonds. I shaped the middle like a diamond because in the middle it has the strongest laser in the world. This is is what it looked like.The fourth alien I made was called Dog Star. I also called him Meteor Smasher. I called him Dog Star because he looks like he is a dog reaching for the stars and I called him Meteor smasher because he has got lasers that only hit meteors that are going to crash on earth or on other planets. This is what meteor smasher or dog star looked like. The fifth and sixth one I made is called Laser Larshe and Strong Arms. I called this alien, Laser Larshe because it can destroy anything even the whole earth with its powerful lasers. Laser larshe has three lasers, the two yellow ones are for smashing easy thing like a car or something like that. The red one is for destroying a planet in the solar system like the sun or something. Strong arms helps laser larshe by not using lasers but using its strong arms and like Laser Larshe Strong Arms can destroy anything. Laser Larshe is the one on the left and Strong Arms is the one on the right.

my scout badges






On Wednesday the 2nd of September I earned my scout badges. The scout badges were called the pet badge, the musician badge (level 1) and my other musician badge (level 2). To earn my pet badge I had to look after my pet which means walking my pet every day, feeding my pet and even picking up my pet's poop!!!! I had to do this for two months. 
I also had to find out about two diseases that dogs could get and I chose the diseases called blindness and the disease that canine fleas give to dogs and us. Canine fleas give diseases by biting the dog and getting its spit onto the dog which the dog is allergic to. red pimples occur where the dog itches. If the dog continues to itch, their hair will start to fall off. You can get rid of the disease by bathing your dog with  flea repellant,  groom your dog with a comb, have your dog wear a flea collar and clean all your furniture so fleas do not leave their eggs in these places. 

Blindness can occur in many different ways, however my dog became blind because of retinal degeneration this happens when blood gets into the dogs eyes and the blood vessels at the back of the eye begin to disappear. At first the dog can not see at night but when more and more blood vessels begin to disappear the dog begins to become completely blind. Sadly you can not make the dog see ever again.


I worked with my friend to do our musician badge but we had to play three pieces on a violin.
We played the music to other scouts. The pieces were called Can Can,Old Macdonald had a farm and Twinkle twinkle little star. We also had to draw the symbols of music and learn about a composer called Beethoven. I chose beethoven because he went all over the world playing his violin to kings and queens even though he was deaf and when he died of illness people believed someone poisoned him. We also had to play different scales on the violin and explain the different parts of the violin. We demonstrated how to take care of our instruments.
