Hi all.
This will probably be the shortest post ever but I have to post my "Powtoon" on here. Enjoy!


All for now!

Hi all.
I finally got the Minecraft links working, and even better, I have the pageviews updating every second! I tried for 0.25 so it would update 4 times a second, but it was to laggy. 29 Billion though! That's a lot of pageviews. Also don't forget about the amazing skeleton at the bottom of the page either. All for now, short post sorry.

Hi all.
I haven't posted for ages and I probably wouldn't have if I didn't lose my lunchbreak today. I don't really view this as a punishment as I can't sign in at home. So this and when we get laptops in class is really the only time I can do my work. I have to do a post from the expedition we did last term so I think I will just post my report I did for it and if Mrs Hogg says it's not enough I'll go into the boring details of my group standing next to our fridge. Long story. (Actually it's not but anyways...)

My amazing report on Fonterra

Imagine losing your job, and the money that sustains your family. Your food and water. Your tv. Even your house! This and much more happened to 523 staff at Fonterra during the fall of milk prices. Fonterra had fired many workers to save money that they would normally be spending on worker wages. This totals more than 60 million dollars a year. But think about this, was it worth it? What Fonterra did to over 500 families? And did they even look at other options?

The Problem

Fonterra is a New Zealand based company that supplies milk and dairy products to supermarkets and other businesses. Recently, the prices for these products have dropped miserably, and Fonterra risks going bankrupt for not getting enough profit from their products. Let's say Fonterra has to pay 2000 dollars a month for the workers wages, gst, tax, and all the other nonsense the company goes through. Now let's say Fonterra earns 2500 for their products each month. After a year, Fonterra will have made a profit of 6000 dollars. This year however, Fonterra is only earning 1800 dollars for their products. This means Fonterra loses 200 dollars each month, and that’s where we are now. In order to make profit, Fonterra has to cut back on costs. The easiest way to do this is to fire off some staff. So let's say after firing some staff, Fonterra pays only 1500 dollars on worker wages, therefore having a profit of 300 dollars a month and NOT going bankrupt. This is exactly what the real Fonterra is doing. But with bigger numbers like instead of losing 200 dollars a month, they were in danger of losing millions! If this is to complicated to understand, It’s basically saying Fonterra is spending more than they have, so they have to spend less. Like on worker wages.

The Protests

The problem with milk prices affect Fonterra even after the firing of staff. Fonterra goes on protest in the local supermarkets, usually accompanied with their fellow cows. They fill lots of shopping trolleys up to the brim with the milk they supply then attempt to buy the lot. The idea is that since supermarket prices have not changed, but the price that Fonterra gets for the milk has definitely changed a lot. This is the main reason milk prices has dropped, so in theory, If Fonterra buys the milk they sold, then added it to the rest they are selling to the supermarkets, they get twice as much money because of extra milk. Even though they are buying it again. This means that supermarkets have to heighten their prices and Fonterra will have no more milk and dairy price problems. Of course this is a gradual change so Fonterra still had to make quick money. So the workers that Fonterra fired may get their jobs back within the next few years. But by then they will probably have new jobs. And security usually stop Fonterra workers from taking all the milk to re-sell. But who wouldn’t want to lose money through buying your own milk back?

A Possible Future

A business is a hard thing to run and avoid going bankrupt. More than 4000 companies in the world were forced into liquidation over the past three months, an increase of 0.5 per cent. While it may not seem like much, at this rate an extra 80 companies will go bankrupt each year. This Along with the 4000 others, and still the stats increase. Fonterra is on the verge of near bankruptcy and becoming one of 4080 is not a fun future. While 523 staff is a lot, losing over 2000 and Fonterra itself will damage supermarkets and the entire of NZ economy. Resulting in the NZ dollar going down, and meaning that tax can rise along with gst and pretty soon, what you earn each week could drop from 680 dollars down to a measly 473. That's 207 dollars you just lost. And it’s very possible for any big companies in New Zealand that supply to other parts of the world. So what do you think? Was what Fonterra did appropriate for the situation? Or was there something else they could do? And was what they did at local supermarkets good? Or bad? Thank you for your time. 

All for now! Except that my dad ordered a monopoly set with "The walking dead" as the theme. Can't wait to play it!

Hi all.
Been a month since I last did a post, but I'm blaming that on the holidays. My birthday was in the holidays too so now I'm 13 and my mum now supposedly has more reasons to tell me off. Also I got Skyrim back after 3 years. (I told my mum I was about to kill a queen for the dark brotherhood.) My dad got me a pocket knife with my initials engraved on one side along with 2015. And on the other side it has my Minecraft username "Redstone Rampage." My mum also found some of the miniature Minecraft lego that stopped selling almost straight after it was released. Dunno why either, it's really cool. And as tradition of my family birthdays, I got a t-shirt. AMAZING.

Okay, I liked the t-shirt this year. I would probably be wearing it now if I didn't have to wear a uniform. Mrs Hogg asked us through her blog what we could do to make our blogs more exiting. I said we could do a secret santa post, where we could all do an anonymous post to one of our classmates depending who we pull out of a hat. But more of a secret Halloween dog post or something. All for now!

Hi all.
For some reason, the words in the Minecraft gadget are disappearing or becoming to big to read. The gadget itself is fine, but I have disabled it for now. Also trying to do my report at school today. It's the one about Fonterra. Really boring so I'll save you the misery of hearing it. Also I have a video that I will be putting in the list of links. It's called an honest trailer, by "SMOSH Games." Enjoy!

Just so you know, This is a completely STUPID trailer for Minecraft Not actually that serious. There is also one for frozen and almost every game or movie you can think of! All for now! I'm also having overlap problems at the bottom of the page with the dancing skeletons and the interactive world map. Any help appreciated.

Hi all.
I did not end up doing the gadget fix up, but I have my reasons. For instance, I got sick on thursday and didn't get better until sunday. I will get to it when I can though. We did a writing test at school today and god it was boring. Write about something that has changed the world! Or something. We had to do it on the expedition at school and my group is doing it on Fonterra. We have to do lots of writing about it during class. All the writing tests are about memoirs or persuasive or informative. Never about fictional story writing. In one of the posts awhile ago I wrote about Tom and Lilly. I made the story last year when we had to do a sort of parody of a fairy tale. It was so much fun that I went way over the word limit. It was based on Hazel and Gretel. The voices in the forrest and the people they saw in the forrest? That was them. It was supposed to be an overlap of the story. All for now!

Hi all.
The little gadget with Minecraft stuff? Well you may have noticed it's kinda big and only got one thing thats not a song. I'm getting there and hopefully before the day is out, I'll have animations like porky the pig and villager tv and also links to channels that house the actual video Like "BlueMonkey" and "Element Animations." Also if anyone has any suggestions for it, leave it in the comments and I'll try to add it to the list. Or just comment. Also our driveway is fully concerted and is hard enough to walk on. But did you know it takes a whole month until you can bike and drive on it safely? I didn't until yesterday. Also my parents must think we have a lot of money today because I heard them talking about getting a pool when the concert can have trucks going over it. Also I should have another new gadget soon too! Many thanks to Aryan for the URL for flappy bird. You may find the flappy bird game easier than you think. All for now!

Hi all.
We had a Baymath test thing at school. The school is still determining what groups we will be in but I think they won't change my group quite yet. (We did come second this year in Waimath!) Also our driveway is getting concreted so we can't park in the garage for at least another week! We have to park on the road and walk up there to go out. (And our driveway is really long.)

Hi all.
Back at school after my computer crashed and froze after I initialized "Really long" Yesterday. Lucky me the computer managed to auto save. I can't remember what I was writing last night either... But I do know that I found something that I wanted to write about... but I just can't remember. (And i'm not a noob and I can see the writing I started last night.) I think I will avoid using the computer at home for now. All for now!

Hi all. I just realised most of you haven't even seen my science fair product. So now I present to you a picture of my final outcome! Not that amazing, but it's better than what it was before. (A box)

I would also like to say that I am making a youtube bar with lots of Minecraft animations and stuff. Namely things like Honest trailers and songs like Screw the Nether. I will not be adding an eggs glide to Minecraft because of copyright issues not letting me embed it. In fact, the post with it embedded in it will probably not work either. Must check that soon. Also the label that states Student Blogging Challenge, I am aware it says School instead of Student. Also my last post linked up with the last and they were Defiantly posted on different days. All for now!

Hi all.
I finally got the tags working on my blog... last in the class though. A while ago I did a massive post about a story I made once, It has the tag "writing" on it if you want to see it. Anyways, it didn't have the ending. So now, I will reveal it.

He sat down next to Lilly and whispered into her ear. ”Trees can and will kill us, but that’s no reason to give up.” Lilly looked up and forced a smile but it didn't last. Through their misery, they heard voices. Gradually, they got quieter until it finally stopped. But the pair didn't care. They were lost, hungry, cold and alone. When the moon came up, Lilly managed to fall asleep but Tom couldn't even close his eyes. Many people will know that the stars come up with the moon. And you may even know about the constellations up there. And one of them is the northern star. If Tom had fallen asleep, he wouldn't have looked up. And what happened next may not have happened. If he didn't look at the stars every night, he wouldn't have recognised the northbound angel. He wouldn't have woken up Lilly and told her to follow him north. For something in his head told him he would find his true home there. They walked all night and feasted on what little berries they could find and heaved on. Soon they found the trees were thinning and berry bushes were becoming more common. And when the stars were beginning to fade, and the sun started to rise, they arrived at an enormous lake, full of beautiful white swans. One of the biggest swans stood up and came towards the pair. It seemed to beckon to them. Tom and Lilly hopped onto the swan as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world and then swan suddenly took to the sky. Tom whooped and Lilly shrieked in delight. With there new friend, they flew towards the rising sun. Why they didn’t go home or find the family they thought could help, I cannot say. But for the first time in forever, they were happy.

Any good? All for now!

Hi all.
Science fair went well. I came first in my category, (Year 7-8 Living World) But not the whole of Living World. (Year 7-13) Still pretty good though. I came home with 150 dollars too! My mum won't let me spend it though. The end of the term is coming up and on Saturday, my little sister Alyssa is turning 6! I also think Baymath is coming up soon as well, about another 2 weeks. My teacher is going on about tagging my posts, but I still can't figure it out. I'm going to have another go after writing this post. Also we got a pet bird last weekend. It's called an alexandra or something. He's green and is really noisy. He keeps saying things like "hello buddy," "go to bed," and just squawking. Mum said tonight that if he keeps it up, he might have to go back. He is a lot of fun but mum has a point. All for now! I'll try to do the tags one last time.

Hi all.
Today is the day to see if my science fair board wins something. The prizes range from $1000 for first and $600 for second. Along with $150 for best in group, (I'm in living world) And $20 for various other prizes. I also got in the newspaper and got interviewed. My science fair was about feeding MEALWORMS different foods to make them grow faster than if they were just eating bran. The newspaper stated my LIZARD grew twice the size and that is almost IMPOSSIBLE in only 1 month. And if I was feeding my lizard bran like the newspaper said, he would be DEAD. Also my dad was talking to a farmer some time ago about his barn that burnt down with 100 pigs inside. Later that week the SAME newspaper stated it was 400 pigs. Never believe what you read in the newspaper if you think it's even a little bit off. Or in other words, Screw the News. All for now!

Wait I lied... Today our class had to do a comment on at LEAST 6 other class blogs. I still haven't had a post for 5 months. Or 153 days. Just wanted to put that out in the open, how my classmates will go for there good friends first. 29 other people in my class and 2 away. 27*6 is 135+27 is 162. 162 comments and not one found my blog. If they were shared out evenly around all 29 blogs, (You can't comment on your own blog!) I should get at least 6 comments! Now people will read this and probably comment out of guilt but thats just as bad as not commenting at all. SO PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS POST! And Think how many comments others must have got, some with
2 or 3 and others with over 10! Ok, I'm finished grumping. All for now! Sorry about that.

Hi all.
Remember what I said about Waimath? Well there's also Baymath which is pretty much the same thing somewhere else and odds are i'm in that too. I was in it last year and won third in the individual test. So technicaly I was the third smartest year 7 in New Zealand for 2014. And unlike Waimath, I got an actual MEDAL. Baymath has the cooler prises. Instead of cauculaters and 1cm badges you can win big trophies and medals. And BIG chocolate bars. The school social is tonight so after we can actually do PE during PE. Not dance.  Also I added a realy cool world map along with the skeleton down below. Trying to get the hacked flappy bird off Aryan's blog. All for now!

Hi all.
Apparently, my teacher thinks my blog needs more posts more regularly. AND they have to be about school work. Well I went to a big contest called Waimath not that long ago and came back with second place. It's a math competition. Your school enters three students to compete in a timed math competition with heaps of questions. Though it is boring to watch, it is a lot more fun to do. We came second to Fairfield and we each won a calculator that we already had, ( Jiarn and Aryan got them last year. I just had bad luck.) And we won a badge declaring our defeat by 2 points. All for now!

Hi all.
It's been what, a month? Well either way the school holidays are over and I'm back to school. My science fair is going pretty good and my super secret blog post was deleted so I have to do that when I get some time. My science fair is still about the mealworms and their growth rate. I managed to increase one groups growth by 30 percent saving $7.40 NZD for a pack of 100 mealworms. They are about $24 NZD per 100 usually so thats like 25% off! (Random fact: Women buy 80% of everything on sale!) Also I would like to thank everyone who helped me reach 725 Billion pageviews! Spam that red button till it goes blue! And that won't happen because it's red so just spam it anyway! All for now!

Hi all.
Internet's still standing up even though it should be down. This is a little poem that is a tad gruesome but you probably see it everyday if you have a bird feeder.

The mealworm is a tasty worm,

For every bird, It's head will turn.

They peck it till it's good as dead,

And pulp it up, And smash it's head,

Then feed their chicks and go to bed.

For it's a tasty worm.

I also have other gruesome things in my book for science fair like mealworm cookie recipes from the internet. Though i'm not allowed to put the recipe in. All for now! School holidays for me next week too!

Hi all.
Today we have a heap to do. Student led conference, science fair, and write a school memo. I want to know if my science fair intro is any good. My aim is to find out what superfood makes mealworms grow faster as they are around 26% protein. So 100 g of mealworms has more protein than 100g of beef, chicken, lamb, pork or fish! As you can see from my research below.

• Beef:  18.4% protein
• Lamb:  15.4% protein
• Pork:  14.6% protein
• Chicken:  22% protein
• Fish:  18.3% protein
• Mealworm:  26% protein

On the side of the blog there is a gadget with links. There is a mealworm care page. For my science fair I am using a different page but it will explain mealworms well enough. Did you know, Red scale insects are used as a natural food coloring in yogurt and smarties? I kid you not! Also 2/3 of the world suffered from protein deficiency in 1970. If we could breed mealworms faster in large amounts, it could help lots of people. Mealworms are usually a pes in kitchen cupboards and they breed fast and can eat through flour bags too! When they turn into a beetle they can lay around

250-1000 eggs in one go! The average is 400-500 eggs and they lay them in food usually, like flour.

All for now! Now go and eat some smarties! 

Hi all.
The schools internet will be cut soon for a couple of weeks. The connections are already starting to cut. I've heard rumours that some of the rooms around 19 or so have NO power. If anything it's probably just the internet. Either way, my homework is to do posts about school WORK, not the school internet problems. First block we had a gymnastics test, Failed by the way. Second block I had a math test. Last block a science one. And next block there's a team hui. Boring, really. All for now, sorry for having so small posts lately.

Hi all.
In the last post I said I was writing a sort of poem. It's called a Ballad and it's pretty much just a poem that rhymes. "But don't all poems rhyme?" You say? Exactly my point. This is mine.

Screams and shouts echo across the breeze,

But gun fire yells above the wails.

Boats pull ashore with more of deaths tools,

And ammunition in cans and pails.

Change happens when trade boats came,

Leaving death and long red trails.

Some tribes rise and others fall,

Land boundaries separate them all.

More boats come with the british,

Who set out in new Zealand waters.

To kill whales is a serious deed,

But many survive the waters.

Missionaries came to spread the word,

Of god and god alike.

But one would not go for 15 years,

In which maori first saw the light.

Hopefully it's not to bad. And water and water totally rhymes. I tested the mealworms last night. Out of 100 mealworms, only one caught the brick. He later made the headlines by terrorising Tokyo. Ok I didn't. But it would have been cool. All for now!

Hi all. Found a super cute picture of baby blue tongue lizards. When I got Rye the lady there said that blue tongue males wouldn't get along with other lizards unless introduced while young. I got Rye when he was about 2 years of age. Most lizards live to about 20. he is about 4 now. Or will be in 4ish months. His birthday is about late September to early October. Mine is the 5th of October.













I'm entering in a science fair and for it I will be feeding different super foods to different groups of mealworms then comparing the mealworms to each other by testing there physical abilities. they still probably will be quite slow. My dad told me to find out if they could catch a brick. I looked on the internet and it did not say anything about a 3cm worm catching a brick. He also asked if I test how far they swim. Sorry dad, but they can’t swim. I have added a link to the list on the right side of the blog. Where it says more links. You may also see a new red button at the top of the gadget list. And don't forget the skeletons at the bottom! The links are the last gadget on the side of the blog. At school we are learning about WW1 and the NZ wars too. NZ has a treaty and it was signed by all the maori kings. Now we get to write poems about it. No, sorry. "Ballads." Bell just went for morning tea. All for now!

Hi all.
Last week, (Yes, LAST week.) I had to write about animals. And I have finally managed to upload 2 pictures of my pet lizard Rye! He is a blue tongue lizard and is about 40cm long. He lives in my room and has a diet of mainly crickets, meal worms, and little red pellets which say they are good for him. (They're for bearded dragon lizards though.) Some lizards drop there tail in distress but Rye has had someone step on his tail before and he has defiantly still got it. Here are some pictures. (The second one got my flash in the reflection in the glass so it looks like he is eating light.)

Rye looking at me probably wondering what I am doing. (He has water under his chin.)

Rye eating light. :)
He sleeps in the box which is ironically behind him in both pictures. I painted it block and my little sister Sammie stuck the sticker on it. She sticks stickers everywhere. You probably can't see but the first picture has brown gravel and the other one has sandy gravel. The second one is the newer one. I named him Rye because when I got him my mum told me I should name him after a character from one of my books. So I picked Rye from the three doors trilogy by Emily Rodda. I just remembered that name off the top of my head so it must be a good book. :)

All for now! My computer is working at home so I'm finally using it. Usually I can't sign in. Now I get to do the rest of my homework. Also if anyone knows how to do a good smiley face on the keyboard let me know please because :) is boring.

This is going to be a long post so sit back and try to enjoy all the other stuff that matters in this world.

Hi all.
Haven't posted for so long that episode 15 came out for that Mine craft movie in the last post. Will put that in at the end of this post. I have also added a blogroll sort of gadget above the S.B.C badge as part of the S.B.C. Still adding to it. Coin-box hero is a good addictive game though. For week 8 of S.B.C we have to make up a sort of travel plan so I've chosen America, New York. First I have to list what I will take.
1. Clothes x5
2. My Ipod stuff
3. A flashlight
4. Some money (Lots)
AND... (DUM BA DA BUM DUM BOOM)
5. Passport (Duh)
Usually my mum would help me pack so I'm not to sure what I have to pack. I've also found that right now 1 NZ dollar is 75 US cents in New York. So if I took 8000 NZ dollars to America, I would have 6000 US dollars to spend on whatever I want. I would have to by 5 of those t-shirts that say "My friend went on holiday and all he got me was a lousy t-shirt." One for each member of my family. LOL.  I have chosen Casablanca Hotel Times Square for my stay because it has free wifi (Yay!) and a 5 star rating. I will say now that I won't actually be going to New York. I would like to though. 7 nights will cost 2550 US dollars so that brings me down to $3450 to spend on food. There is a free breakfast buffet in the hotel, and for lunch and diner there is a restaurant called Tony's DiNapoli adjacent to the hotel which has spagetti and meatballs for $14 so I can have that for diner each night ($98) because I like spagetti and for lunch, the us subway shops have a deal where you get a subway sandwich, a cookie (Yay!) a lemonade and a packet of hot chips for only 6 US dollars! That's another 42$ so after that I will have $3316. Wait! The flight! The plane! Crud! The Auckland airport is closer to my home and I will have to convert my money to NZ to find out how much I have left after flight plans. Google says that 3316 US dollars is 4427.53 NZ dollars. And the amount of money it costs to fly to New York is $4300. (That IS a return flight though). Probably not the cheapest option but it is well in the budget. I now have 127.53 NZ dollars and in US I have 95.6475 dollars. But to make it easy, we're going to have just 95 US dollars. Last but not least, 5 t-shirts are 50 US dollars. So I now have 45 US dollars to spend on whatever I want in NY. Last but not least I have episode 15 of Jason and steve's Mine craft adventure thing!

PS: Do not watch this if you have not seen the one in the last post.
All for now!

Hi all.
Ever heard of Minecraft? Most people have. It's a cube world based adventure game where you mine blocks and place them in other spots in the world, usually to build houses or to gather resources to craft with. There are also evil mobs like zombies or creepers which blow up and destroy blocks. There are also friendly mobs like sheep or villagers to trade with. This is one of my favourite Minecraft animations from element animation. All for now!

Hi all.
'The block' was an activity we did ages ago but now is when I have to do a reflection. It probably won't be good. Anyway...
First we all did a trivia quiz in our groups. My group was the M and M's. We got a good score but I can't remember much about it except we came 1st. Then we chose our bundle of stuff to create our shelter. We were first so we chose our bundle first. we got the only tent. It had no poles but most of the others got some ropes and a tarpaulin. We also had another form of tent from one of our group members so we connected them together. In the end our tent was tied to a tree and the ground but the tent Itself wasn't touching either. It was just floating there. We lost the building competition because our tents sucked. Next was the physical challenge, tug of war. I won't bore you with the details but we lost. Then we did the mental challenge. Lie against the wall with your feet in front of you at something around 90 degrees. We also lost that. The rest of the day was boring for me so I didn't pay too much attention to it. The shared lunch was good though. I brought brownies!
All for now. Haven't posted in forever... sorry about that.

Hi all.
Not much happening lately. Most of the other class blogs have their (your gender here) of the future poem on there blog. This is mine.

I am a child

I am all the things of the past

I am my mothers eyes of a deep blue sea

I am the gamer of my father,

Clash of Clans and Minecraft all night.

I am all I can see,

Numbers on gridded paper

Goblins and barbarians going to war

Zombies and spiders in a blocky world

I am all I can hear,

Cold water flowing into a cup

The musical sound of trees in the wind

The small beep when the computer stops

And all I can feel and taste,

The smoky taste of kawai for dinner

The cold sea around my waist

The painful feeling of sunburn at the beach

The taste of pizza in my mouth

I am all I have been taught,

“9+10=21”

“If rice is moving, it’s not rice”

I am all I think,

Minecraft

Sony and Ipod

I am all of these things,

I’m like a solar panel,

And these things my dark night.

But one day the sun will shine,

And i will be alive again

Because,

I'm a man of the future.

Also has anyone played dragon quest 9 on the DS? Please comment if you have. I can't find anyone who has. Also the skeleton link in the last post is not working right now. All for now.

Hi all.
Today I will post some limerick as my teacher has asked me. And my class. This one was inspired by me being bored because I didn't know where to start. so I wrote about my pen. Though my pen hasn't done most of what it says...

There once was a pen with legs

who ate everyones pegs

with a flick of a toe

he would eat one whole

until he tried scrambled eggs!

This one is out of an anual book called the Dandy. I think my friend Devon thinks I thought of it so I've kept my mouth shut.

There once was a Turkey named Stan

who went backwards whenever he ran

he emerged from a bush

presenting his tush

and got shot in the butt by a man!

Also please leave a comment if you know a good name for the amazing skeleton. He needs A good name. Haven't wrote much about my actual day lately. Probably for the best. Who really wants to know? Also if you haven't please read the last post. Took me ages to copy it from my old writing book so all comments appreciated. But not ones that start with this:

First of all, mark this as spam. Then come to my blog! You have to see this!

That was the comment I received from Devon. All for now.

Hi all.
I got a comment about where I found the skeletons. You can find the link here. Also thanks to the same person who said they like  'Hi all'. No sarcasm. You might see that I changed my post background color so you can see where the links are. My student blogging challenge said I have to write a poem with a picture. This is going to be off the top of my head so don't expect much.

The forest is silent as the sounds of nature echo through the undergrowth

Wind whistles as it blows through the thick blanket of leaves up high

Plants stand tall as water falls from above like kids in a lolly scramble

The sun brings light through the cracks in the forest lighting up the dark

The forest is silent.

Another thing I have to do is write a story that you [The readers] finish by commenting what happens next. I will use my story called Tom and Lilly minus some paragraphs. It's an overlap of Hansel and Gretel and is 

quite a long story. It will be in the next post. By the way I created it last year for my fairy tale writing project. Hope you like it!

At the edge of a small pond lived a small family in a fancy wooden house. There was a boy called Tom and a girl called Lilly. They lived with their mother and their father. The parents were very rich but they never shared their money with the children and only fed them the scraps from every amazing meal they ate. When a terrible famine came to land, their parents owned nearly all the food and hungry families helplessly attacked their house all day and all night, screaming for food, and their parents became even more angry than ever before.One night, Tom and Lilly could not sleep. Normally, Tom would watch the stars and could never sleep, but when this moon rose, neither of the pair could even close their eyes. Instead, they were watching a thin boy outside collect pebbles. “Oh I wish we could go outside and play in the moonlight” Whispered Lilly to her brother. “We could pick berries and be rid of the awful bashing outside.” Tom did not answer. But he too, was thinking about the little boy outside. His father was a woodcutter. Tom knew this because he could hear the man felling trees and shouting timber all day. Tom and Lilly could never go into the forest. They spent their days locked up in their bedroom. Every morning, a flat box would slide under the door containing stale bread and crusts. the pair would share the small amount of scraps and then slide the box back through the door. If they didn’t, they would not get food the next day. The small amount of their parents scraps were never enough to fill the pairs tummy. But early next morning, the box came early. And it was not alone. For holding it was Tom and Lilly’s father. He was not in a good mood either. He opened the door with such force it nearly came off it’s hinges and made Lilly jump a foot in the air. “OUT.” He bellowed. Tom and Lilly walked into the hallway but the father wasn't satisfied yet. “THE HOUSE YOU FOOLS.” “Surely you are not kicking us out?” Questioned Lilly. The box that had survived for as long as they could remember suddenly crumpled inside the man’s giant fist. Taking the hint, the pair quickly found their way to the door.The crowd outside were all lying down on the ground. Probably asleep. But the next thing gave both of them a shock. The slam of the door behind them and the click of the lock that followed. Tom and Lilly started to scream and they helplessly attacked the door until sunrise came, where they spotted the boy from last night along with the rest of his family. They were all heading to the forest near their house. The forest was also fairly close to them as well. The pair decided to follow them in. “I’m sure that they would give us a bite to eat if we asked.” Said Lilly. ”Maybe even a place to sleep for the night.” Tom did not agree. He was stuck on the theory that they would also send them away. “We probably should follow from a safe distance.” He said.So the pair followed the family from a distance where the family could not see them. At one point, the family lit a fire. They said something to each other but Tom and Lilly could only hear murmurs. Then the adults went deeper into the forest, leaving their children alone. Soon Tom got bored and he left to find the parents. Lilly thought they should wait for the adults to come to her and ask them for a small bite and maybe a place to rest for the night. But she knew that Tom would never agree to that. But they never came back. Nor Tom. Before she knew it, the moon was up and her eyes were closed.Suddenly, Lilly was shaking violently and her eyes tore open. Tom was over her, shouting words in her face. She did her best to make words out of the sounds that were thrown in her face. “They’re gone! All gone! Were lost! No food! And TREES! TREES, TREES, TR-” “Calm down Tom! Trees won’t kill you!” Lilly interrupted, still half asleep and not taking in the situation properly. “Lilly! Were lost in a forest thicker than our fathers arm hair! The trees can and will kill us! We’ll STARVE!” Lilly said nothing. Their father did not have thick arm hair but she knew that the forest was still very thick. Tom finally stopped yelling when he heard voices. He leaped into a bush and then ran out saying a word that starts with “F”. Lilly stifled a laugh as a few bees emerged out of the bush and flew after him. The voices grew louder.“Do hurry up Hansel, you are slowing us all down!” Lilly hid behind a large oak tree and listened. “stay near the fire and we will come back soon.” Lilly followed the voices until she saw the group of four from yesterday reunited again. the two children were sharing a piece of bread between them. Not an awful lot either. Lilly began to reconsider the fact that the family would be able to help them. They must have more at there house. She thought. If they cannot help us, then we wouldn't be here. Suddenly, a noise came from behind Lilly. She swung around, ready to fight. A very wet Tom stood up with his arms up and rolled his eyes. “Sheesh, it’s just me.” He whispered. “No need to throw fists.” Lilly relaxed. Ashamed, she started to talk.”What happened?” “Bees can’t swim and the water is freezing. Who was talking before anyway?” Tom asked. “The family from yesterday. And the parents left again.” Lilly whispered. A heavy silence fell and then Lilly sat under the oak and covered her eyes.Tom started to attack the tree but he soon stopped. He sat down next to Lilly and whispered into her ear.”Trees can and will kill us, but that’s no reason to give up.” Lilly looked up and forced a smile but it didn't last. Through their misery, they heard voices. Gradually, they got quieter until it finally stopped. But the pair didn't care. They were lost, hungry, cold and alone. When the moon came up, Lilly managed to fall asleep but Tom couldn't even close his eyes.

So now this is where you comment with your answer to what happens next. Sorry but the paragraphs lagged the writing off the screen. Don't forget to add your own blog address when you comment for others to see your blog! Also I believe this is the biggest post in room 10 as to this date. All for now.

Hi all.
Trying to post when I can. Just finished a math pat on the computer. Think I could be the first. Our school has a mufti tomorrow and that means we don't wear our uniform. we also bring a gold coin donation. This time it's for the children of Haiti. It's called Purple cake day. That's got a link in it by the way. The website is a great place for cake recipes too. Also I have to give a review for a game so I chose tank trouble. It's a great PvP game where you zoom around in tanks collecting upgrades and blasting your opponent in multiple user made mazes. By the way that had a link too. There's also a single player mode against Laika, the robot dog tank. Got P.E next. Not looking forward to it. All for now.

Hi all.
Didn't post on friday. I was too exhausted by the focus. And my mother was on the computer most of the time we were at home in the weekends. You might have seen my new gadget at the bottom of the page. It is truly amazing and I can't stop playing with it. Mr Woof is getting a bit old but I will leave him there for now. I recently entered in the student blogging challenge. I put the link in the badge so you can sign up. Also it makes my blog sort of cooler. Also I can't upload pictures from my ipod so Rye is still picture less. Sorry. And today is monday here. Not sunday. All for now.

Hi all.
Focus prep today. It was boring but I survived. Last block was probably the most exiting as we made cupcakes in the food tech room. Usually my group's cupcakes look like purple radioactive muffins or mini crumble cakes. This time they looked like scones. The whole name of our cupcakes is 'Healthy' beetroot cupcakes with blueberry icing. We made some changes to the recipe though. Like we didn't use 4 cups of flour. After school me and my family went to my little sister, Sammie's Preschool with fish and chips for her picnic. After Alyssa gave away all our plastic cups to the other kids, we all sat down to eat our fish and chips and drink our lemonade with the last cup that remained. Sometimes Alyssa can be a bit of a pain. My mum wants to use the computer so I'll finish up. Not that there's much to say. I had way to many chips and now my tummy hurts. By the way I got mixed up with the chicken thing. It's on chanel 2 on sky, and it's on sunday. I'll find out what time tomorow. All for now.

Hi all.
Well I was wrong about not posting for a while. I'm at school right now and I still have the bad laptop. My class should be doing math but half the class is blogging and the other half is reading. My friend Devon is sitting next to me. He is reading over my shoulder right now. Ok he stopped. Last year when we went to the library during school time the whole class would get a book and read. This year we learn about how to find a book in the library and that sort of stuff before we can read. Most people are ok with it but I get annoyed. We have a focus ( An assembly) coming up and Aranui, a group of four classrooms including mine are playing a part in it. All we have to do is do a small play in groups of 10. It should be fun but most of my group, including me, is always off task. As it might help, this is the link to my teacher's blog. Hope I helped. Also watch the news tonight. If you see a chicken in a jacket, blame the pigs. All for now.

Hi all.
Well by the emptiness of my blog you probably guessed this is my first post. I have my reasons...
My teacher is Mrs Hogg. And she says I should write about myself. Well I like Minecraft and Math. I don't like the laptop I am using because there is a very annoying fuzzy line on the right side. I go to Berkley Normal Middle School and learn there. I live in New Zealand, and I have a pet lizard called Rye. My favourite book is Atherton and in the weekends I go to a caravan at Papamoa beach. Personally, I hate the beach. And caravans with no wheels and a tent sticking out the side. I have 3 sisters who are all younger than me and are mostly annoying. I like writing about fantasy and not about memoirs. I like working behind the scenes. like the people who work in a box and keep the music and lights and whatnot working. I despite art and preforming. And I hate fruits and nuts. I like hotdogs and candy. (Most people like candy though.) I play clash of clans and as I mentioned before, I am a huge Minecraft fan. My dream job is a computer programer. You know, sitting in a room all day making computer games. Also when I can log in at home I will post a picture of Rye. The lunch bell just went. All for now. (Probably for a while.)
