This year was good. 7th grade went by fast and smoothly. I think I was most successful in science. I maintained an A in science every quarter so far. I think that the thing I struggled with the most was blogging. I learned a lot this year but probably the most important thing I learned was the shortcuts for high light all, copy, paste, and print. I would prefer to be back at the school in Menwith Hill just because it is a smaller school. In 8th grade I would like to dissect a sheep brain and to future 7th graders my advice to you is to do your blogs.

I thought the experience was good. I think it taught us to be inter dependent. I learned from that demonstration that you rely on other people for things like in Singapore they were short of Mid Afri notes and Egypt lent us a lot. If I were leading I-Town I would allow for people to set their price to use the radio, bank, shipping, etc. I think that the best part was when I had to file and organize a lot of money and paper work.

My subject influences our lives because today it is used as a symbol or decoration on buildings or in logos it is also used as a structural support by adding metal. My guiding question was "What is the signigficance of the Greek column?" The answer to my question was that in the past it was used for structural support but now it is mainly used for decoration unless modified. I learned the origin of each column ,the amount of flutes and what it was used for in ancient times.
When it was our turn to look around I learned that ninjas used silent weapons like throwing stars to take out enemies silently and from a distance. I also learned that the aquaduct is a very efficient way to deliver water from one place to another. In conclusion I learned a lot from other peoples display boards and from them telling us facts about their topic.

I think that the main idea of Seed Folks is that a community bonds together and conquers discrimination. My favorite character was Ana. I liked Ana because she watches everything outside of her window. I disliked Virgil's dad because he tried to get rich off of baby lettuce. I enjoyed the activities in science and in language arts. In science we are planting tomato seeds in cups and trying to make them grow. I planted four seeds in water beads. In language arts we painted rocks. I painted mine black white and purple. I liked the activities because they were simple and we didn't have to follow complex instructions.

My guiding question is "What was the significance of the Greek Column?" My topic created change because during the time it was the sturdiest support structure. Without the column most old buildings would not be around today and there would not be big buildings and architecture wouldn’t have a skeleton. It would be materials piled up with a wooden support beam in every room. I found out a lot of interesting facts, but my favorite was that the start of columns used to be cut down trees that were de-branched. My final project is coming along okay. It will help me by displaying the information under four main topics. My project will help answer what the significance of the Greek Column by describing Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns.

I wish
I was in England
Just one step closer
To Menwith Hill
Where I could see my friends
I wish
I was in Ripley
Right on the door step of Mill Garden
Just footsteps away from the bakery and home
Where I would walk down the trail without a care
I wish
I was in Knaresborough
Right next to the Nippy Chippy
I would get my food and go
Back to Ripley with my dad and dog

We did the chicken wing lab to show us how the muscular system works. I didn’t really like the disection of the chicken wing. I would have preferred to do it by myself and with a better tutorial because my group was lost. I think we also should had more time to do it because we barely got the skin off and see the muscular system. I also didn’t learn much from the lab because half of the time my group was goofing off so to me it was kind of a waste of resources. However, I did know a little because of the notes on the muscular system from class.

We are like trees
We must bear fruit of Christ
And resist the hatchet of sin
It will temp us in the ways
But you must spread the root
And become rooted in holy ground
You must not fall a stray
And become the home of termites
You must stay strong in the rock
And not falter in the ways
Of the lord

I kind of have a sickened feeling about the videos because you realize that their is racism
in the world and not long ago blacks were not treated as they should have been. I don't think I would have the courage to be one of the little rock nine and probably would have given up. Things have changed a lot today because African Americans go to our school and are respected as equals. However some things like discrimination about sex, skin and clothing still goes on.
