Dog meat restaurants in South Korea refuse to stop.

In Pyeongchang, South Korea restaurants refuse to stop serving dog meat in the Olypmics.

City officials have now admitted that 2 restaurants have stopped serving dogs

The non-compliant restaurants have now been asked to update signage on their restaurants to advertise more “neutral” dishes and avoid upsetting visitors in town for the games.

I really don't care about this because people eat cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits and more.

Attitude

Today Lex from Attitude came to our school and taught us about Choices, Attitude and about us. He was very funny.

One of the stories that was pretty was about two kids that were in kids prison and one kid changed and got out of prison early and studied but the other kid stayed in prison and now is still in prison.

My favourite activity was thinking about what animal we were, there was a Lion, a beaver, an otter and a golden retriever. I thought I was a golden retriever but later I found out that I was an otter.

I learnt about where he came from his friends and the choices I make.

Oi you

I think grown ups need to know that kids our age are smarter than they think and need to push them harder. Like do more than sit and watch YouTube all day after school. Also I think kids need to go outside more (including me xD) and start playing more sports.

Song

A song I like is Save Me and Mic Drop from BTS because they mix Korean and English in their songs and I think its pretty cool that they do that since they are not the best at English.

Big Chief/Little Chief

My role this year is being a role model to the little kids and welcome new kids. Also I think I could maybe be a house leader but I think I need to practice being a leader a bit more.

I think I have learned a bit from me being a new Year 7 last year and being welcomed.

True or False

Which one of these are a lie, Comment Down Below! :-)

Good Luck! :-)

Fixed vs Growth Mindset

If I was troubled with something and had a fixed mindset I would say " I cannot do this " or " This is too hard for me ".

If I was troubled with something and had a growth mindset I would say " I can do this if I keep trying " or " If I keep trying this will get easier for me ".

Quote

I like this quote because it teaches people to "master" or become "excellent" instead of saying "it's enough"

Multiple Intelligences Updated

After I did the test I was pretty surprised because they were mostly all spread out and I thought I would be more Bodily-Kinesthetic because I play basketball and soccer. And I didn't think I would get a 58% on naturalistic.

After I re did this test my highest percentage was 60% on bodily kinesthetic, I redid the test because I didn't think I would get those scores before.

It's HOMETIME!

When I get home on Mon, Tue, Wen, Thur I usually go on my Piano and play for a bit with my mum, then I go on my computer or phone and just watch youtube.

After that I help make dinner with mum, sometimes I do the dishes but I usually don't do the dishes at dinner time.

Then on Fri, Sat and Sun I can play games so I just play for a bit with my friend in Auckland (calling him) and go to church on Sunday.

That is my week and what I do after school!

Week 1 - BOOM!

The first week of 2018 was pretty weird because some people I don't really know that well is working with us now.

Then we did some activities to get to know and trust each other, now I know some of their names and know some of their interests.

Week 1 was a great week!

Beach Ed

Yesterday we went to the Waihi Beach for Beach Ed, at Beach Ed we had a lot of fun but most importantly we all learned how to spot rips and had a tour around the place.

At first I was really worried because I didn't know what rips were and thought I wouldn't understand a thing but they explained really well and I started getting more confident in the water.

At the beach we played some games on the sand, the first game was just a game of Seaweed and then we played some running races where we lie down on the sand on the line and when the whistle blows we run and grab a stick but there is 1 missing stick so someone has to get out on that round.

The 3 key things I learned was
How to spot rips.
About the IRBs
And how to call a lifeguard if you are having trouble

Drive Time

If I was a vehicle I would be a Koenigsegg Agera RS because it is the fastest car in the world and and I think it would be a lot of fun to go 284MPH beating all the other cars, also I would like to be as expensive as one ($1.9 Million).
