The Fish Philosophy

The Fish Philosophy is a way of making new friends every day. There are also lots of other things the FP (Fish Philosophy) can help you do.
Here is the meaning of the FP:

Play

The meaning “play” is not like running around and playing on the playground, it means making your state of mind form energy in order to do your best whatever the task ahead may be.

Make their Day

To make someone’s day, you would have to make them happy so well that the happiness would stay there for the whole day. This is called making someone’s day.

Choose your Attitude

Choosing your attitude is a good way to keep your friends for longer. This means:
Helping your friends out
Being there
Making there day and so on
Do not think this as a sacrifice for it will help you in the future.
Be There, be there. Be there when your friends are hurt or lonely, and your friends will be there for you.

How the World became bumpy.

In a galaxy full of the most wonderful planets, roamed two greedy Gods. There was also a little planet named Earth. Earth was small and round like a ball. The Gods bullied Earth by throwing him to each other.

This angered the people of Earth, so they held a meeting. They soon chose to call upon their most favoured magician to try and make the land bumpy. It was a great sacrifice, for they loved the fact that their land was smooth with not a bump or hole in sight.

When they told the magician of there idea - he merely said, “Hmmm… Now that would work. I assume you are hoping to make it uncomfortable for those horrid Gods. Right?”
“Of course we are, of course we are!” they cried.

The magician then asked Earth to change its shape in order to stop the Gods. Little Earth thought for a little while. Finally he said, “Yes.” And urging up all his courage, he pushed his skin around making it as pointy as needles.

The Gods bellowed in fright as their hands grew sore. They quickly floated away with such force that the left the world was left spinning round and round and round.

Earth was spinning so fast that he fell unconscious, so he was unable to smooth out his wrinkled skin. That is why Earth is still spinning and why our land is still bumpy.

- a message from your teacher. Oh my stars! This is so good! You get an award and a Sherbert Lemon.

Chapter 1- Liking Myself

This program is too fast for younger people like kindys. The ideas also go too fast for year ones. I also think that it is pretty old fashioned. I think it’s around grade three to grade four levels.

The talking goes too fast for some people. The pictures are quite boring as they are 2D. Children will focus their attention on something other than the program.

The vocabulary is grade 6 level, whilst the actual program is at a lower level. It was made in 1992, so it really is a bit old. On the cover it says that it was made in Victoria, but according to the pictures and the accents it’s American.

I personally think that it is not at our school level.

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Here are a few dot points about the poem:

• Its former name is sonnet 18
• It is William Shakespeare's most famous peice ever
• It has been around for many years

The Day I went Exploring

In the principal's office I found a dream bubble made of soft, creamy silk that felt warm under your fingers, a bottle of crystal clear glimmer and a potrait of the famous and glorious, Ms. S and Ms. C.

In Ms. S's office I found a rotting letter from Queen Victoria, 4/5s doing ploppers and kits, a failing smart board and Ms S herself.

In the barn I found piles and piles of work, a shiny new computer and a startlingly famous artist.

New Zealand

Here is a quick description of the New Zealand Flag:
It is like the Australian Flag but without the Commonwealth Star, and the fact is that all the stars that they do have are red with white outlines.

The next post on NZ will be based on Christchurch.
