With all the new technology being released, some of us are forgetting how to be safe on the net.
Many programmers have created all sorts of applications for people to chat online. Some online games even feature a chat for gamers to communicate with each other whilst playing. Online communication is becoming a massive thing, it's more common nowadays to talk online rather than irl. Irl is text language for, "in real life". I probably didn't even need to explain what it means because more than 50% of readers would've already known.
Having positive and smart relationships onine not only make you seem like an approachable person but keeps you safe.
I am a Year 8 student at Ruapotaka School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 8 and my teacher is Mr Reid.

VROOM VROOM!
New Zealand is the first country to celebrate Bentley's 100-year anniversary. The expensive car brand, is turning 100!
In celebration of the 100 year milestone, news reporter from Seven Sharp, Michael Holland took a Continental GT on a cruise through the central North Island. He met some Bentley enthusiasts with some ultra old and seriously valuable Bentleys.

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
On a Friday afternoon, Riiana came to my house and raided my fridge. Sadly, Leanah (my other best friend) couldn't make it because she was sick. Riiana stayed over for, four days.
At first we did absolutely nothing but chill in my room and use the internet. When night fell... we were ALIVE! The atmosphere changed from a boring birthday party to a fun night at Rainbows End.
We started laughing about funny posts on the internet and weird dances we were doing. Eventually we made a funny video with a weird and distorted audio. Throughout the process we couldn't stop laughing because of the audio and the things were we doing whilst recording.
That went on for awhile and we did something simular each night. Overall I had an amazing four days with Riiana.

Where Have You Been All This Time?!
As the NZ Herald describes, "It began with a woman losing her dog and ended with a man being bitten."
A woman in her mid 20's had been out drinking when she realised her tiny, pet pooch went for a stroll without her knowledge. This all happened in Dunedin, New Zealand. The missing pooch was being cared for in a bar by the name of Albar in Lower Stuart St.
Before the woman retrieved her dog, one of staff members heard the woman yelling. She got ahold of her dog but the poor staff member was bitten on the way out!
In my opinion, if you're not cable of drinking whilst looking after your pet, you shouldn't do it in the first place. You'd have to choose one or the other... Drinking or quality time with my pet?

Getting Creative with Graphics
Today at Tech, all the groups did a switch-a-roo. My group went from food to graphics with Miss Ferguson.
Since it was our first day with Miss Ferguson, we had to introduce ourselves by creating a google drawing and adding photos or gifs of things we like and things that represent us. The background had to be our favourite colour and everyone needed to add at least 2 GIF's.
I had a lot of fun creating my google drawing. I added lots of images and way more than 2 GIF's. It really made me take time to think about myself for change, instead of thinking about everyone else. My favourite part was finding the images and decorating the google drawing. I loved how I could just play around and experiment with google drawings.
Miss Ferguson said, "We'll be designing juice cartons." Which sounds intriguing to me. I can't wait!

Shh... Testing in Progress - Test Week
It's almost the end of week two and my brain has been working extremely hard.
We've had all sorts of tests. From writing to mathmatics our week has been completely messed up. I am 75% positive I have improved my scores from the beginning of the year.
Out of all the tests, my absolute favourite would have to be... The PAT mathmatics. Not completely sure why but, I think I love looking at the different diagrams and reading the story problems. I know what some of you may be thinking, "Well, that's a bit weird" but it's what I like.

Who Came First?
Who Came First?
In case you didn't know what the Winter Learning Journey was then I'll tell you. The Winter Learning Journey was a blogging competition for rooms 9-12 in my school, Ruapotaka Primary. On Monday the 1st of August a special guest came to our school called Rachel Williamson. Rachel Williamson created the Winter Learning Journey. She held all the scores and checked our blogs if we participated. There were at least 11 competitors in my school. There were only 2 participates in my class, room 9. Only 8 people from my school got a certificate for participating.
We were waiting to hear who came 3rd, 2nd and 1st. The person who came 3rd wasn't at school but the other 2 were. In 2nd place was Prudence and in 1st place was... ME! Here is a picture of all of us together with Rachel Williamson.
