My Weekly News, Man jailed for 35 years for Facebook post!

A Thai man has been but in jail for 35 years all because of a post on Facebook insulting the royal family! I think this is a pretty harsh sentence for insulting the monarchy.

My Weekly Reflection

This week I was ready to stick to my mi plan, get everything done and be done and dusted by Thursday a.k.a today. But things didn't go as planned and I got wrapped up in Manga high wich is bad enough but then I started to procrastinate. Something I learned from this experience is that I should know when to stop something and move on but to also to not lie to myself and others when I say I'm going to do something then I don't. At least I know for next time!

My IE Reflection

By the title you can see this my IE reflection, This is made to see what I could improve on for next time or to see how well I did.

The field

It’s peaceful and quiet, the birds are walking along the blanket of grass looking for something to eat. The tree’s leaves are moving with the wind whispering to each other in secret as they hang on to the branches hoping not to fall. The roots of the trees are digging deeper into the soul of the earth on an adventure searching for something of the unknown. While i’m in class listening to the tapping of buttons, looking out the window and finishing my story.

Winter Sport

Soccer has started, the cold air is piercing and the grass is covered with a thin layer of frost.

So far soccer has been great, the Pathers team (my team) haven't started A game against the other teams yet but I think we will give a good go at them. This year we have two teams within the same grade because we have so many players and having one team with 18 players is a bit much.
I hope the panthers will do well this year!

My Weekly News How much pee is in public pools?

Here are some facts to think about next time you go in for a dip at the public pools...you're swimming in pee. An experimental investigation of swimming pools and hot tubs in Canada ought to found a huge pool of around 830,000 liters could carry up to 75 liters of pee. The scientists began a unique experiment to see how much pee is in public swimming pools. Their new method contains the levels of an unnatural sweetener found in treated food which is passed unaltered in pee!
