Rain poem

rain

It’s raining it’s pouring

Not a single man is snoring

Moving cows

To higher ground

When they get up in the morning

When they get out of their bed

they have to protect their head

From the heavy drops

And the enlarged plops

all the falling water

As puddles form on the ground

Caretakers start to frown

The lawns are getting soggy

And really quite boggy

Everyone wanting it to cease

This wet and sobbing soggy beast.

weekly reflection

So far I am still keeping up with my timetable. I am waiting for a reply to my comments to help me because my thing isn't working properly. toady I am going to start getting the thing I need for my big Tesla coil. It is coming along nicely. So far I have gotten my little Tesla coil to sort of work properly, it doesn't power a light but it triggers a result on my multimeter.

Weekly reflection

This week has been an amazing first week. I have go an immense amount of research done on my personal inquiry. For my personal inquiry this term I am making a mini Tesla coil and selling kits for it as well as making a big one that shoots lightning. I am really enjoying my personal inquiry and I feel I have managed my time well and I think my planning has gone really well because I am half a week ahead of schedule. This week our school had a pet day witch I really enjoyed, I brought sea monkeys.

The Importance of Integrity

link to article

1. Why do you think integrity is important? It is important that we show integrity, otherwise we will live in a world were the words truth and honesty don't exist. No one would be trust able and you would basically be alone.

2. How has your integrity or character been tested to the limit? What did you do in response? when two people asked me a question were if I say one thing I will upset one person but if I say something else I will upset the other person, I always either give an uncertain answer or an answer somewhere in the middle.

3. Do you think that integrity is a part of your nature? Do your instincts warn you when you are doing something that doesn’t show integrity? mostly, if I lie I feel really guilty and I I do something against my nature I don't feel right. So yes my instincts do tell me when I am not showing integrity.

4. Do you think the whole world could one day show integrity? If not, why might this be impossible. No, there will always be bad people in the world who do bad things, it is just human nature. There will always be people  who are to lazy to earn thing and instead take from other people.

5. Do you think our national and international world leaders display integrity? How and how not? Be specific. Not always, being a leader is hard, you not only have to make citizens happy but you have top make other behind the scenes people happy, such as NASA and the military you might have a really good opportunity to make a lovely building for the townspeople but you need to spend you money to keep the military happy. Leaders will always have a moment were the only option is to not show integrity.

Weekly reflection

I really like that we get to choose what we do and when we do it. I like no structure so much that I think that I function way better with it. I am way more focused because I don't have to do things when I don't want to. SDL is probably one of the best things that have happened during my school life. overall I have enjoyed my week.

The REALLY busy kid… Is it REALLY that bad?

link to article

1. Do you believe kids being really busy is a good or a bad thing? Why?

It is good to be busy because it means you get to learn a variety of things. it gives you a choice when you are older. for example if you do not do anything then if you want to be a musician when you grow up then you will find it a lot harder if you did not go to music when you were young.

 

2. If you think bad, think of three solutions for this issue. If you think good, think of three ways to encourage other kids to get busier! If you have a passion then pursue it. It is most likely that the only way to get good at it is to join some after school club which is what you should do. if you don't have a passion then you should find one, keep trying different things until you find something you like.

3. Think about the role of teachers and parents in encouraging extra-curricular activities. Is it up to them, or to the kids themselves? It is kind of up to both of them. if you are a kid you need to show the adult what you are interested and the adults need to sort out how and when.

weekly reflection.

This week has been really fun. I got to go the the ITC conference witch I really enjoy each year. Not only did I like working with the provided technology I also liked meeting with people from other schools and all my friends from other schools. I built a useless box witch is a box with a switch and when you try to turn it on an arm comes out of the box and turns it off. I you want to learn more then check out my other blog post devoted to it. overall this week has been amazing.
