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.
