This is the blog of a home schooled boy.
Home is on the Clarence River, NSW, Australia but he spends lots of time in other places living and learning and having fun.
I am currently doing drama at the Clarence Valley conservatorium I do character development my teacher is called Desan.
I think it is really fun playing games, using puppets, and in general just having a ball.
Here is a picture from a play of Oliver twist.
We practice using puppets, singing, funny walks and movements I started because i would like to join a
theater group and perform on stage, it has helped me as well i used to get embarrassed when singing with people besides my family and close friends now im happy to perform and sing around other people.
A Dugong is a peaceful mammal that spends its
whole life at sea.
The dugong used to be hunted and the population decreased. Now we have the rule not to catch it. But the dugong is still facing danger, getting caught in fishing nets or crashing into boats,
Life cycle of a dugong. Dugongs are long-lived with a low reproductive rate, long generation time, and a high investment in each off spring. The oldest dugong who’s tusks were examined for age was estimated at 73 years old when she died. Scientists estimate dugongs over 2.5 m are mature, while those less than 2.2 are immature.
People should look after this amazing species because even the smallest fish keep the oceans balanced and dugongs aren't very small.
Our mother lorikeet Emerald passed away about 6-7 weeks ago.
She had come every where with us, even moving houses,
lorikeets can live up to 35 years but she only lived until she was eight.
Leaving us with this cute little fluff ball.
Who is just 5 days old in this picture on the day we found him alone in his nest.
He now looks like this, it is special to watch him grow.
Here he is investigating the camera and wanting more pats and cuddles he is the snuggliest bird we've ever had. When we put him back into his cage he runs to his blanket and snuggles underneath and when you put your hand into his cage he comes running over for a cuddle. He is adorable!
He is eating very well now and growing nice and big, he has all of his feathers almost, he is just a little bit downy under his wings.
He spends his days in his cage now, it is filled with toys and perches a hammock and he is just starting to feed himself with bowl of dry food and water just going in this week.
This book is a junior non fiction for younger readers.
It is published by Gareth Stevens and written by Tim Harris, I thought the book was handy but not that great. It is about the many species of turtles and there habitats it has good pictures of all the species and little info sheets about each species as well.
We went with a few friends and I got to have more than one cuddle with all of the band members !
That is me in a group hug with Hope Medford, Nahko Bear and my friends Asha and Jai.
Medicine opened the show for Donovan Frankenreiter and Xaveir Rudd, and MftP were even better than they are on you tube.
One of my favorite Medicine For The People songs
The concert was at Byron Bay youth center and it was a lovely out door venue with shade and cool breezes there was a really nice crowd everyone loved it.
Our friend Karina is hand raising a pretty faced wallaby so he came to the to the concert and everyone loved him.
Me and Chase Makai, meeting the band members of MftP was so much fun, I was dancing with Dustin Thomas who showed me a new move called the stomp, had a pillow fight with Nahko, had a chat with Chase and discovered he lived on the Clarence for a year and had as many cuddles as I could with Hope.
It was such an awesome day and I will remember meeting them always and I cant wait to see them again but in the mean time I will be listening to them on their CD and they have inspired me to learn guitar. One of my biggest dreams is to sing with them.
Mulberry trees scientifically known as Morus were very valuable in early civilizations. They were great fruit trees because of there delicious berry's and were good for feeding the animals like cows, sheep and silk worms they were also easy to grow from seed or cutting and were very hardy making them very useful.
The silk trade was important in the ancient civilizations in great demand for fabrics and rug's. The caravans of camels that traveled the silk road from Turkey to China brought world civilizations in contact eachother, to trade valuable products back and forth and the more silk worms the more silk the more commerce and goods.
The black mulberry is native to S.W. Asia, and it was imported to Britan in the 17th century to help the silkworm the black mulberry is above,the red mulberry is native to Eastern N.America,The white mulberry is native to an east Asian species.
I really enjoy climbing the trees, and our trees are covered in lichen, and the fruits are delicious to eat.
My brother and I have been living in a tent, it's a big tent it has three rooms.
We have had some good adventures in that tent, and we can set it up well now with two big tarps, one the roof and one beneath the tent. We have had some wet and windy weather, and we have had to make some adjustments to make sure it stays safe and dry in the wind it blows around, and I can hear the tarp blowing and flapping and see the walls moving .
Waking up in the tent I straight away know what the weathers doing and sometimes it's cold, and I want to stay in my bed and on the days it's warm, and I quickly run inside or else I get really hot. My mum told me there was an owl perched above me, and he was a boobook, we also have lots of frogs once a little frog got into my brothers room it was really funny . the insects like the tent as well and we found a cocoon on the outside of the tent, and there was also a big huntsmen spider on one of the tarps last week. I like lying in bed and seeing things on the roof in silhouette.
We have been living in the tent while our new bedrooms are being built in the house.
