My sort of half adventure

Well.... on the weekend I went to a karate comp. There were four different categories Forms (sort of moves put together for show and to show what you've learned) Sets (a combination of moves that are done several times over) Techniques (self defence) Sparring (fighting when you've got lots of pads on). I got a gold in sparring I got nothing in everything else because I was up against a 16 year old black belt and I'm only a brown belt.

My assignment

Name: Catherine Wilson Malcolm (Kate or Katherine Sheppard) yes she wasn’t always called Kate Sheppard

What she did: Kate Sheppard was the main leader for the revolt of woman winning the right to vote in parliament elections since Kate Sheppard and all the other women won. She influenced other countries to do the same but Britain and U.S.A did it after WW1 probably because they lost all their men in the war. Here’s a cool fact since then in New Zealand 2/3 of the people elected for parliament in NZ have been women our prime minister Helen Clark is a woman cool aye. All this gave Kate Sheppard honour of being on the ten dollar note.

Did you go? How was it?

Do you believe in the big bang theory?

Well if your wondering what's the big bang? It is what some scientists and me believe is how the universe began. Well the big bang is where all the matter and things are all jammed into one big thing and since kept crushing in on itself until it exploded into the thing we call the universe. But the bad side is that we think that the process is going to happen again :C. So if you aren't in any religion this is a scientific version of how life began.

Do you think this is true?

The balloons

Yay the balloons are here at HamiltON I think it'll be really cool also more publicity for HamiltON.

The V8s

The V8s what do you think about them? Is it a bad thing or good? well it's good and bad in my opinion, the good things are lots of publicity and buiseness to hamiltON but also the amount of pollution will be big and it might attract street races. But I've heard that the hamiltON city council is planning on trying to counter all the pollution so it's carbon neutral.

10 enviro tips to help keep you green

here's 10 easy enviro tips to help the environment. I got these from a website called http://greenliving.suite101.com/article.cfm/understanding_green_living

1.Purchase fruits and vegetables that are organic. Organic foods avoid the use of pesticides. This is better for the environment, as the produce is grown naturally.

2.Cut down on fuel usage. Try walking to places instead of taking your car. If that is not possible, consider carpooling or taking public transportation systems, such as buses or trains when you can. The less fumes in the air the better for all of us.

3.Recycle household items. Give old clothes as a donation to places like Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Use rechargeable batteries. Organize a neighborhood yard sale to get rid of things you no longer want or need.

4.When gardening, create a compost pile for fertilizer. Don't opt to buy fertilizers from stores.

5.Use a canvas bag that can be used over and over again when you go grocery shopping. Do not accept the plastic or paper bags that the store offers.

6.Invest in a water-saving showerhead. You can find these low-flow types online at Enviro Friendly Products. Help conserve water by taking this step.

7.Consider buying things in bulk. It saves you money and requires less packaging materials.

8.Save energy by installing a programmable thermostat to heat and air condition your home.

9.Pure soap is biodegradable and breaks down completely. Choose a soap that is pure, such as Dove. Avoid soaps with synthetic scents or colors.

10.Make a bird feeder out of recyclable products, such as a milk carton. Feed the birds and help the environment at the same time!
