National Treasure

If you read the title and are wondering what is a "National Treasure" is, I will tell you.
A National Treasure is someone or something that is important to a country.
For this activity we have to make a list of three things that are important to us.
For me the things that are important to me, aren't necessarily a thing like an item, more of living things.
My  List
No.1
My family, (my dog included)

No.2
friends

No.3
nature.
What would you put on your own list?

I like my name and have no clue what I would change it too anyway.
What would you change your too?
Do you want to change your name or keep yours the same?

Superhero for a week

If I could be a Superhero for a week the 3 powers I would want are half reality and half imaginative.
Number one: Read peoples mind
It would be awesome you could read everything in the mind of someone, but imagine if you were on the other end. Someone else reading your mind, you would have no privacy.
Number two: The ability to read a text or book really fast
It might sound boring but you could get your homework done lightning speed. Once you have read the text for homework you can do other fun things.
Number Three: For the last one I do not really know.
What 3 powers would you want? why/why not?

I was brave when I dived of the high diving board at Jellie Park.
In the end it was so much fun I did it again and again. I also did the smaller one, but I found the bigger one more fun.

Summary on Tropical Storm

Tropical storm summary

Tropical storms are called cyclones or Typhoons. Depending on where you live in the world.

When a cyclone strikes, buildings are flattened and trees get ripped out of the ground.
Cyclones form over warm Tropical oceans.
The surface temperature of the water must be at least 26.c before a cyclone can begin.
The cyclone consists of high-speed winds blowing in a circular fashion around a low-pressure centre.
This ring of low pressure is called the eye of the storm.

Cyclones generally move in a path resembling the curve of a parabola and in same direction as
the prevailing winds. The winds circulate in a clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere. 

Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin on Christmas day 1974. It was the most destructive cyclone in
Australia ́s history.

First simile
Usain Bolt is as fast as a cheetah.

Second simile
A giraffe is as tall as the Eiffel tower.

Third Simile
The pencil was as sharp as an arrow

fourth simile
The monkey was as loud as a siren

Do you have any other similes?

Donald Trump and the wall

If Donald Trump asked me for opinion on the wall I would kind of disagree, I do not really see the purpose and if someone wants to cross the border, they should be able to cross the border.

Here is a little information about the wall and Donald Trump.

Donald Trump the president of the United States built a wall between Mexico and the U.S.A.

Donald Trump was elected as America ́s President in 2016, and promised he would put the wall
between U.S.A and Mexico.

Donald Trump wanted people to stop crossing the American-Mexican border.

Earlier this year a caravan came through the South and Central America on its way to the
American-Mexican border. The people were heading to America to find jobs and better life.

Some people strongly agreed others strongly disagreed about the wall.
Do you agree or disagree?
