Oh yeah, just to tell you my sisters birthday was really fun. We watched Seabiscut! I really liked the movie and think everyone should go see it.
Though some parts were sad.
Last night Sarah, Dad and I went to a meeting where we learned the rules and schedual for our dance show, If I ran the Circus. Sarah and I are both have a part in the circus so we don't get to be rolling trash in the begining. (Cry) Well I guess that is okay because we get to be on stage almost the whole time during Act 2!
Hello everyone,
Wow I have had some much homework I haven't been able to get on the computer except to do some reaserch for my reports. It's only the 3rd week of school and we have already had 2 reaserch projects. One was on the USA (West coast) and the other one was on an explorer. I did Leif Ericsson with my best friend Sarah. Then we are working on a reaserch project for another teacher. This one is on an inventor. So much work! :P
As I was searching the internet I found out that SaveGoF.com started a petition to make the 4th Harry Potter book two movies. They are encouraging people to either sign their petition and/or write Warner Bros. and encourage them to make the 4th movie 2 films.
They even have a pre-written letter that you can print out, sign and send to Warner Bros. So you don't have to worry about wondering what to say...
They feel that if the forth Harry Potter film is made into one film many/most of the important events... will be removed or shortened to a few minutes. Think of how much Warner Bros. has to cram into the "2 and 1/2 hour" movie that is is as of right now. Here is a list of some:
The death of Frank Bryce, Harry's scar hurting, Harry convincing the dursleys to let him go to the Weasleys, the Weasley's picking up harry from the Dursleys, Fred and George being yelled at for trying to take there joke shop tricks, the Quidditch World Cup, the appearance of the Dark Mark, the introduction of the Unforgivable Curses, the selection of the Triwizard Tournament champions, Rita Skeeter and her antics, the First Task, the Yule Ball, the Second Task, the children's visit with Sirius at Hogsmeade, the Pensieve memories, the Third Task, Voldemort's return, the duel and Priori Incantatem, the revelation that Moody is Crouch Jr., and the final scene when the Order of the Phoenix is called back into action.
How are they going to fit all those important things in the Goblet of Fire if it is only 2 and 1/2 hours long?
If you agree with them you can either mail Warner Bros. a letter, mail Warner Bros. the pre-written letter or sign the petition.
A 5 foot 10 inches teenage crawled into his washing machine to try and get his keys. But became stuck for at least an hour while the firemen tried to get him out...
"A teenager got more than he bargained for when he attempted to fetch some keys that he'd dropped in a washing machine." Newsround
Now the lesson today children, is never to get stuck in a washing machin. :D Okay just kidding. Well in this case I can see why he would have crawled into a washing machin, but I guess he could of had his little brother of sister crawl in for him. If he had one.
Supposedly as a school project, Ghyslain a canadian teenager, video-taped himself fighting and evil person with a pretend light sabor. But some of his "school friends" decided to put it on the internet. Now tons of people are trying to turn this embarassing thing into a really good thing by trying to get him a role in the next Star Wars movie.
"Thousands of Star Wars fans are rallying together to try and get a Canadian boy a part in the next film.
They hope it will make 15-year-old Ghyslain feel better after he was embarrassed by a video of him pretending to use a light sabre was put on the internet." Newsround
"Ghyslain, whose parents requested that his last name be withheld, is the so-called “Star Wars Kid” featured in a hilarious but oddly poignant video that has been downloaded more than a million times since its release to the Web in late April. In the clip, Ghyslain brandishes a golf ball retriever that serves as a double-bladed light saber, enthusiastically re-enacting a series of battle maneuvers inspired by the feats of evildoer Darth Maul in “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace.” When a group of schoolmates discovered the videotape, they put it on the Internet, and within days it was a cause celebré." JediMaster.net
"Over two minutes, the video shows the lone, overweight teenager twirling his mock lightsaber ever faster while making his own accompanying sound effects." JediMaster.net
I can't even imagine how embarassed I would be if this happened to me. I think it was just mean of his "friends" to do something like this. Think of how much humiliation he must have gone through. So, I encourage you all to sign the petition to get him into the Star Wars Episode 3 movie.

School started on Tuesay. My teachers seem to know what they are doing and even though it's a public school I only have 15 students in my class! Every thing would be great, but my sister is in my class, and she is 16 months younger than me. :(
Some unknown people have vandalised the train that is used in the Harry Potter films as the Hogwarts Express.
"Vandals have attacked the Hogwarts Express - leaving it covered in graffiti." Newsround
Geez! These people must have really wanted to ruin things. I don't know if this will delay the filming... I wonder why they would have done that to the train.
They train looks really bad now.
Another person has been scarred by a henna tattoo.
"11-year-old Ted Heritage from Leigh-on-Sea in Essex got a picture of Bart Simpson put onto his arm while on holiday in Cephalonia, Greece, according to the Sun newspaper." Newsround
I think it's stupid to get a henna tattoo. I have read two articles already where someone has been harmed by them. Why even take the chance of beening scarred?
Natasha Phillips, 12, and 15-year-old Ashley Lamprey ran away after falling in love a few days ago. Just so you know they have been found.

This is an older news story, but I thought you might want to know the news.
Wow! That's a young couple. 15 and 12 years-old. Well, they are safe so you don't have to worry.
I have school tomorrow. Boo! Well I have to go so I shouldn't complain.
But ugh, after such a long break my brain is mush.

This is good news. I mean that the girl was found. I wish they could find all missing children that quickly.
These helicopters look for children playing on the railroad or doing anything else harmful around the railroad. Though they cost a lot it saves lifes and is well worth the cost.
"This summer the number of children vandalising railway tracks in Cardiff is down thanks to a special helicopter service."Newsround
This is a really good thing. It helps cut down the number of deaths by railroad.
