Just a Myth

Just a Myth?

Is Global warming just a myth, or is it really happening. In my point of view, I am completely and utterly against it. I strongly and wholeheartedly do not believe that Global warming is a real phenomenon.

Firstly, climate change has always occurred and nothing unusual has affected our planet. It’s gone from freezing to boiling in just weeks, and according to the skeptical science site, climate change is 100% natural.

Secondly, the IPPCA Organization states that, 31000 scientists all signed a potation which claims there is not enough evidence for global warming. Many scientists use computers instead of history facts, computers are not always feeding you correct facts. They give information, which is not always true.

In addition, few studies have been abandoned as there is nothing transpiring or any progress. A recent study was deserted because sea levels did not modify, and scientists and many websites and books declare that sea levels rising is a major sign of Global warming.

In Conclusion, climate changes are natural and will always proceed, information has been given, not hard strong facts, and too many studies have been vacated. So therefore I am clearly against Global warming.

It won’t happen?

 Is global warming real or wont it happen at all? I think utterly and wholeheartedly that it won’t happen; therefore I’m against Global warming.

Firstly the climate has always changed and nothing unusual has happened. We all know that we have earthquakes, heavy rain and hot summers days but that is normal. ‘Climate change is normal,” that’s according to Skeptical Science. Boiling hot days to freezing winter nights has never affected our planet.

Secondly, according to IPPCA Organization 31000 Scientists signed a petition that stated that there is not enough evidence for Global Warming to be true. A recent study on ‘Sea Levels Rising’ was abandoned because no sea change has occurred. Nowadays most scientists use computers to find out information, but it’s not always true, so therefore you could be receiving false information.

Lastly, Warmer weather is a good thing. People have been saying that the sun is getting hotter, that’s because there are more sun spots, which is what is warming the planet. Every 11,500 years we are supposed to be heading for an ice age but according to Skeptical Science we were due to have the ice age days ago.

In conclusion, I believe that Global warming is not in existence as there is more evidence against it than for it!

City College Day

Today Room 1 were lucky enough to be invited to City College, along with the other schools in our cluster. We played guitars, designed our own computer games, burnt metallic salts using a Bunsen Burner and even managed to fit in some technology and P.E. On top of that there was a free sausage sizzle, so all in all, a pretty cool day all round.

White Sticks Whitewash by George

Yesterday Fordell Force played the White Sticks at hockey. We played at the Gonville stadium and we got absolutely thrashed. Letting in 2 goals in the first 5 minutes without a goalie we were off to a rough start. Cheyann was our substitute goalie for half the match. Unfortunately we conceded another 2 goals. Finally, Clive got his pads on and took his place in goal. It made no difference. The end score was 8-0 to them. We were lucky to get nil.

Mosaic Making by Joe

Today Room 1 started our mosaics. We had to design a personal logo for them and eventually they are going to be teapot stands or hot plate stands. They really started to take shape and are coming together nicely. Luckily we got the help of Ronan's mum, Kirsty, who has done mosaic work in the past. We all had a great time and can't wait till we complete them.

Brass Band A Big Hit!



The Wanganui Opera Houses roof was blown off as the Royal Navy Brass Band performed a free concert for Wanganui Schools on the 28th of May.

The concert began with a speedy xylophone act which quickly engaged the audience. Next up was a medley of film themes, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Sponge Bob, which got all of the audience on their feet clapping and dancing away.

The music was from all different years from 200 years ago, to the Can-Can, YMCA and a well known Kiwi pop star, Stan Walker 'Easy'. Children volunteered to conduct the band and to show the audience the Cancan dance.

In my opinion the concert was well-performed, as it kept all ages entairtained. Everyone learned about different types of instruments and had a blast dancing to pop songs. In conclusion I thought the performance was entairtaining and educational.
