Nat Bowditch lived in Salem, He had 2 sisters and 3 brothers. Their names were Mary, Lizza, Hab, William And Sammy. Hab was signed onto the crew of a cargo ship. Early one morning Nat woke up and found that Hab had left on the ship at high tide.

Simple Invertebrates.

Jellyfish.

Jellyfish have two cell layers separated by a jelly-like substance. They have a hollow, saclike body with a mouth opening, around the mouth opening are long growths called tentacles. The tentacles are equipped with sting cells for killing small fish for food. Jellyfish can swim either by floating on the water or by forcing water through their bodies. Some jellyfish are tiny and some are huge.

One-celled Invertebrates, Part 2

Paramecium.

Paramecium are shaped like slippers, and belong to the group of one-celled invertebrates that are covered with tiny, hair-like fibers. The tiny fibres are used in two ways, the first way is for movement. The fibres move the paramecium not only forward and backwards but also turn it around so it can move any way it wants. The second use of the fibres is to help direct food particles to it mouth. Paramecium lives in water and likes eating acid.

One-celled Invertebrates

Amoebas.

If you were to look at a drop of unfiltered water under a microscope, you would probably see a thing that looked like a blob of jelly. And after a while you might see the thing moving. The thing you saw might have been an amoeba, amoebas are tiny one-celled invertebrates that live in water. Amoebas do not have an actual shape of their own but sometimes they look round. When amoebas move, they change the shape of their bodies to help propel themselves along in the water. When they change their shape, they move a little bit, so they have to repeat it a lot of times to actually get anywhere.

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

Mary and Martha came to Jesus and told him Lazarus had died from his sickness. Jesus told them to take him to Lazarus’ grave. When they got there they rolled the stone away from the grave and Jesus told Lazarus to come out of the grave. Lazarus got up and came out of his grave and they were all happy.

About the Second Coming of Christ

Jesus warned us about what will happen during the years before his second coming.

Sin will be everywhere and there will be lots bad people doing bad stuff.

There will be people that say “I am the Christ” but they will be lying.

Lots of people will have to run away and hide or they will be killed.

Some Christians will give into the people who are torturing them.

And finally Jesus will come back and the Christians will go to heaven.

Plant Reproduction, Part 2

Asexual Reproduction,

There are many different ways for a plants to reproduce asexually, to reproduce asexually means to reproduce without the use of female or male sexual organs.

1. One of the ways that they reproduce asexually is by putting the seed/s inside a fruit and then when a animal or human eats it, it gets carried away from the plants and when it is disposed of, the seed starts growing.

2. Some seed are spread by the wind, the seeds have “wings” or soft, fluffy coats that help them glide on the breeze when the seeds get detached from the tree.

3. Some other seeds spread by growing small hooks that catch onto clothes and animal fur and travel to a different location and fall off and start growing.

Waste Products, Part 1

Urine.

Urine is composed of nearly all the waste in our bodies, the only exception is the faeces which is what can’t be filtered out by the kidneys. The kidneys are just like a pair of filters, every minute 4 metric cups of blood are pumped through the kidneys and the bad stuff is filtered out. Then, from each kidney a tube called the ureter, takes the urine to the bladder and then to the urethra where its disposed of.

Plant Reproduction; Part 1

Sexual Reproduction.

All flowering plants reproduce sexually, the organs of reproduction are contained in the flower itself.

The male reproductive organ is a tall stick thing called the stamen.                                                            The female reproductive organ is a sticky tube called the pistil.

At the end of each of the stamen, grains of pollen form. Pollen grains contain the male reproductive cells, and each flower contains a few stamens, which make a ring around the pistil. The pistil contains egg cells and an egg chamber, in the chamber, the eggs will be nourished and protected until they are ready to be released as seeds.

Life Processes of Complex Plants Part 2

Plants contain a chemical called chlorophyll, the chemical is used for the process of photosynthesis. Plants collect carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground. They use these elements in the process and generate their nourishment. Oxygen in given off as a waste product.

the end

Life Processes of Complex Plants, Part 1

Food-making process;

Everything living on earth must have energy, To have energy they must have nourishment. Humans and animals get their nourishment from food. Plants obtain nourishment and energy from photosynthesis. Photo synthesis is the process that plants use to collect sunlight and turn it into sugars, which they use for food.

the end

The Structure of Complex Plants Part 3

Roots have many important uses.

1. The first use of of a plants roots is to hold plants in the soil. Without roots, the wind and the rain and stuff would blow the plants over,

2. To provide water and minerals for the plant, water is essential for a plants life. Without water, the plant will die.

3. Roots also sometimes function as storage space for food. When plants are not able to generate their own food, They live of the food stored in their roots.

Structures of Complex Plants; Part 2

Stems.

Stems come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the plant. And, like the leaves, they have a few different functions.

The first function of the stem is to hold the leaves up off the ground.

Use number 2. Some plants, such as the rose, have special things on their stems, so they use their stem for protection

Use number 3. Some plants, such as the potato, use their stems for storing food.

Use number 4. The function of some stems is to assist the plant with reproduction. The plant sends out special stems called “Runners”. That take root and grow as new plants.

Use number 5. Also, a special function of some stems is to anchor the plant so it can grow upwards. An example of this is shown in the grape vine or runner bean.

One of the biggest differences between simple and complex plants is that complex plants have stems and simple plants do not. That is why some complex plants, such as the giant redwood, can grow really big.

The Structure of Complex Plants: Part 1

Structure

Although complex plants look very different from each other, Most of them have the same characteristics. Leaves, stems, roots and flowers set them apart from the plants known as simple plants.

Leaves;

Leaves have many different functions. The first function of them is to collect light for making their food by the process of photosynthesis. The second function is for protection, not all plants use them for protection but some, such as the cactus, do. The third function is to shade the leaves roots to preserve moisture

Science: Conducting systems

Simple plants have no coducting systems. A conducting system is a system Complex plants have for Conducting food and water around the plants body. Because the conducting system provides nourishment for the plant the plant can grow enormous. An example of the gigantic-ness is demonstrated in the Giant Redwood.

Livestock Transport

When cows and stuff go on long road trips, it used to be pretty uncomfortable. But nowadays, there are laws which make the trucks’ floor’s more soft. The laws also say that the air must flow freely in the trucks. But there’s no food or water, no bedding and no toilets. And there’s standing room only. So the RSPCA is saying that the trucks should stop every few hours, have food, water and bedding, and, on hot days, air-conditioning. The only problem is, with all the trouble about the livestock, Meat and wool prices might rise. The new laws haven’t started yet, but eventually they will begin.

Savannah Cats

There are some cats that are twice the size and much faster and stronger than normal cats. They are called Savannah cats, breeders mated African Servals, with normal cats and created Savannahs. In Australia, these super-cats have been banned, this is because normal cats alone, destroy up to 1000 native animals a year. So if the Savannah cats ran away from their owners and turned feral, they would kill heaps of animals. What with their speed and agility. The Savannah cats would also cost around 5000 dollars because of the wildcat breeding. The Government is also worried the super-cats would be dangerous because of their close relation to wildcats. So the Government has decided the safest idea is to ban them

Paparazzi

Paparazzi…………………………………. Lots of celebrities get very annoyed when those news reporters cameras snap them, off guard. So some stars reckon the pressure from paparazzi contrubutes to their own personal problems, making them turn to drugs or alcohol. Some photos of celebs can earn millions of dollars, making the photographer very rich. There’s just been a big court case looking into it and it’s got a lot of people talking about tougher laws to control the press pack. In some European countries they now have to get permission from the people they photograph before the photos can be released. Some say the media and the paparazzi are only giving people what they want. If we didn’t buy magazines, photographers would leave the celebrities alone. Others say the celebs often use the paparazzi to promote themselves. After all, getting your face in a magazine or on TV can help sell records, get a big movie deal or pick up an advertising contract.

Alban, The First Martyr

Once there was a man called Alban who was very rich and very kind, but he was a heathen. One night, a man came running to Alban’s house saying “HIDE ME! HIDE ME!!”. Alban gave him a place to hide in his house. The man he hid was a christian and he was being persecuted. The more Alban listened to the man telling what it was like to be a christian, the more he thought he wanted to be a christian as well.

The Hole

Once some English soldiers got captured by Indians. The Indians chucked them into a tiny prison called       THE HOLE. The hole was a very stinky, tiny, cramped dungeon with only one tiny window. 132 soldiers were imprisoned in there and most of them died of madness or suffocation or stinkyness. The Indians had no mercy at all if they heard their prisoners pleading, they just laughed and taunted them. In the end, only 31 of the 132 soldiers came out alive and only 14 came out sane

Albion

Once there was a boy who loved the sea. He had liked swimming and playing in it ever since he was very small. In fact he loved it so much that when he grew up he came to be KING OF THE SEA. He ruled the sea and all the fishes and all the mermaid and mermen. He and his wife had lots of children and, as they grew up, the king made them each king of their own islands. There youngest son’s name was Albion and he was their favourite son so this made it extra hard for them to choose which island he was to have. They only wanted him to have the best island ever. So they sent out lots of mermen and mermaids to find the perfect island. At last they found the perfect one, it was extremely beautiful and it had lots of rivers and trees and it had lovely cool water. So it was given to Albion to rule over, And Albion called the island Albion

The Hairdresser

There was once a man called Mr. Arkright who wanted to be a barber. So he rented a cellar and put a red and white pole and a sign out the front of it. The barber shops in town usually shaved people for twopence so Arkright had the idea of shaving people for halfpence. The idea worked and Arkright had more customers than anyone in the town. It was the fashion in those days for men to shave their heads and wear wigs tied back in a ponytail. So Arkright started making wigs. He also found out how to dye hair, so he made wigs that were dyed and sold them. This paid a lot better than just shaving people and he grew very rich.

The Story of Guy Fawkes

There were once a group of catholics who were going to blow up the Parliament building and all the people in it. This included the king and his subjects. Directly under the Parliament building were a bunch of cellars that you could rent to store wine and other goods in. The Catholics rented one of these cellars and filled it up with barrels of gunpowder and bombs. They also put some sticks and logs in there, partly to hide the gunpowder and partly so they could set the gunpowder off by lighting the wood and running away. Then, the big day arrived, the day when they where to blow every one in the Parliament building up. The dangerous and difficult part of lighting the wood was given to a brave man called Guy Fawkes. He sneaked into the cellar and was just about to light the wood when lots of men came in with drawn swords. THEY HAD BEEN BETRAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guy Fawkes was tortured to try and force him to reveal the names of the other conspirators but he stayed strong and didn’t tell anyone and then he was executed.

The Slaying of Paris

The Greeks and the Trojans were having a big war and Paris was standing up on a wall shooting arrows at people. A Greek soldier saw Paris shooting people and hated him because Paris had killed Achilles. So, he fitted a poisoned arrow to his bow and shot Paris, it only grazed his hand but he still got poisoned.

Nabis: The Tyrant

Nabis was a man who really really wanted gold, so, he invented a few disgustorous ways to get peoples money. One of the most clever(but disgusterous) ways to, was to first be very very over-polite and then ask them nicely if they would give Nabis all his money. And then if they said no, take them to see a statue which had springs in it, then when the unfortunate man was close enough, the statue would move and put its arms around him, very tightly. On the other side of the statues arms, there were sharp knifish things that cut into the man, and then, if the man still refused then he would slowly bleed to death.

The Sphinx’s Riddle

There was once a man called Œdipus who was doomed to kill his father, marry his mother and bring destruction on his family. When he heard this he was so upset that he decided to leave home and never come back, so, on foot, he set out to find his fortune. He walked a while, and then he came to a city, the city was in a panic, he asked someone what the matter was and he replied that the reason was that there was a Sphinx a little bit outside the city, and whenever anyone tried to get out of the city, he would ask them a riddle and if they got it wrong he would kill them. Œdipus thought he could guess the riddle and set off to try his luck, when he got there he was asked the riddle “What Creature walks first on 4 legs, the two and then finally 3.” Œdipus thought awhile and then said that it was man! Because man walks first on four legs(when its a baby) then on two legs(when its grown-up) and finally on three legs, when its and old man and needs a staff to hobble on. When the Sphinx heard that he guessed right he started to try and get away but Œdipus drew his sword and the sphinx backed away and fell of a cliff, land on sharp rocks and was cut to bits.

Solarium’s, Human Microwave’s……..

Solarium’s are Thingy’s that you get onto and it tans you, artificially, but it is up to five times more likely to give you skin cancer than just the normal sun. Skin cancer is mainly caused by UV(Ultra Violet) rays from the sun, they travel all the way from the sun to your skin, and you don’t even feel it. To much exposure to UV rays damages skin cells and causes them to grow into a cancerous lump of…. of…. blearghhh. The most common form of skin cancer, Melanoma, is actually the most common among the 15 to 30 age group.

Theseus Visits the Labyrinth

Minos, a king, forced the Athenians to send a shipload of children to his island to feed his minotaur. The minotaur  was trapped at the end of a labyrinth. Many brave men had tried to kill the minotaur, but they either found the minotaur and got killed or didn’t find it and got lost in the labyrinth and starved. But, one time a warrior called Theseus went to the island and killed the minotaur and got out of the labyrinth by means of a long thread.

How People Lived in the Time of Ulysses

When Ulysses was a young man, he wanted to marry a princess. There were many kings in Greece at that time and this is how they lived, each king had his own kingdom, with his main town, walled with such huge walls that some people thought they had been built by giants. Some of the walls are still standing even now, as you are reading this, each king had his own palace, with courtyards and a long feasting hall. When they had meals, the King and Queen would sit on their cedar and ivory thrones at the farthest end of the hall. The King and Queen slept in their bedroom, the princesses had their chambers upstairs, and the young, unmarried princes had their rooms built separate in the courtyard.

Milo of Croton

Milo of Croton was a very very strong man who, obviously, lived in Croton. When he was little, he wanted to be strong so he practiced lifting big weights everyday.

Socrates’ Favourite Student

When Socrates wasn’t working, he usually taught his students, he had few favorite sjoodints but his main favorite was a strong, handsome young man called Alcidades. Alcidades was a rich young orphan who had many “friends” who flattered him all the time. But Alcidades never acted posh and boastful around Socrates though, he always wanted to learn more stuff so he wanted to please his teacher.

Socrates

There was one a man named Socrates who was a simple man who worked in the fields all day to came home to a simple meal in his simple house, then he would go to bed in his simp…. yeah alright thats overdoing it a bit. He was a simple man with a simple household, in his spare time he would always study and read books and stuff. He always thought that you should always be gentle and kind to every one, even if they’re mean to you. He got a chance to practice this every day because his wife was a cross, grumpy woman, and his being meek and patient made her even more grumpy. In fact one day she was so cross with him, that she grabbed a jug of water and tipped it on him!! But then he just brushed the water off and said “After thunder comes the rain.”

The Sword of Damocles

There was once a king named Dionysius who had everything he wanted and he was really rich and all that, but, he was always in constant fear that someone would murder him because he was very mean and had made many enemies. Another man, Damocles, visited him every day to flatter him and stuff, was very poor and didn’t have much to brag about so he basically wanted to be the kings friend. Anyway, one day Damocles visited the king and said “Oh if only I could be a king for just one day(hint hint.)” Then Dionysius said that he could swap places if he wanted, so Damocles got to eat the finest food and get the best entertainment for the day, but in the middle of the day, in the middle of a laugh he suddenly looked up and saw that an unsheathed sword was dangling above him by a single horse-hair. Then he jumped off the couch and refused to get back on even while Dionysius urged him, then the tyrant told him that a person always in fear can never be happy-an explanation which Damocles immediately understood.

The Death of Stephen

Stephen’s enemies always did lots of stuff to get him into trouble, such as accusing of crimes he didn’t do. Once he told them that they had done bad stuff and should repent and they got really angry with him, then Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit said “Look, I see the heavens opened and Jesus sitting at the right hand of God” Then they went totally ballistic!! They covered their ears with their hands and drowned out his voice with their screaming and yelling, and then, they started to stone him. As he was being killed, Stephen asked God to recieve his spirit and not punish the people for the sin because they didn’t know what they were doing. Then……. he died.

Bustards

Bustards are a large bird that lives in Australia and is becoming extinct. One reason why they are becoming extinct, is that a lot of there natural habitat is getting cut down or poisoned by pesticides or eaten by foxes or cats. But a breeding program is being set up to make more of these cute little…. or should I say big fellas. When they are only a few months old they can weigh about to two or three kilograms and the grown-up males can grow up to be a meter or more tall and weigh more ten kilograms.

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

After Jesus died he appeared to seven disciples, this is how it happened. Simon Peter said that he was goin’ fishin’ and some of the others came too, they fished allllll night and still didn’t catch anything. In the morning they saw Jesus standing on the shore, but of course, they didn’t know it was him. He called out to them to put the net on the other side of the boat and then they’d get plenty of fish, they obeyed and got lots and lots of them in the net. Then Simon Peter knew it was Jesus so he jumped out of the boat and swam ashore to him, when the other disciples brought the fish ashore they saw that a fire was going, and they all had fish and bread for breakfast.

Ananias and Sapphira

Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property and gave part of the money to the disciples and and said that was the whole amount, his wife had also agreed to this deception. Then Peter said “Why did you lie? You chose to sell the property and give the money away, but when you gave it away  you kept back part of it and lied! You didn’t lie to us, you lied to God.”  Then when Ananias heard this he fell down and died and two men men came and took him away to bury him. A bit later his wife came there not knowing what had happened and Peter asked her if the money the gave him, was the full amount, she said yes and then peter gave her another talking to and then she died and the men came and took her away and buried her next to her husband.

Then he dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, after he had finished eating it he got up and left. The other disciples thought he was just going to pay some bills or something, being the treasurer.

The First Plays

In the early days of Sodon, men used to dress up and dance and sing in the street. So many people liked to watch them dance and sing, that often, there would be a small crowd of people watching. So, the king of Sodon built a huge amphitheater for them to perform in. The theater was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big, that 30′000 people could fit in it.(Is that bigger than the Suncorp® stadium Dad?) Sometimes the play was so funny or sad that the people would LAUGH! or cry.

A Woman Caught in Adultery

When Jesus was teaching a crowd of people, a couple of Pharisee brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. The Pharisees said that the law of Moses said that they could stone her. The Pharisee were trying to trap him into saying something that they could use against him. Jesus said for them to, by all means, throw stones, but only people who had never sinned could.

Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” She said no, then Jesus said for her to go and sin no more.

The Early Years

When David was ten years old, he was sent to work in the cotton factory. Rain or shine, he had to be there at six in the morning until 8 at night, with only short breaks for meals. When he was 20, he once sat in a field to watch the sunset and thought how beautiful it was and how weird it was that lots of men ruined the beautiful world by killing people, stealing, cheating and bullying each other to get more than they could use.

Corporal Punishment

In school, They used to cane children when they played up or even got their work wrong. Some people are saying we should introduce the whack again because some kids are getting very naughty. A lot of people say that corporal punishment is wrong and should not be introduced again, because it teaches kids to think “The teacher hit him with a stick so so can I.”

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Lazarus was lying, diseased, at a rich mans door. He kept begging and begging for scraps off the rich mans table, but he didn’t give him any. So Lazarus died and went to heaven. And the rich man died and went to hell. In torment the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue. But Abraham not only wouldn’t, he couldn’t. He wouldn’t, because when Lazarus was sick and dying, the rich man didn’t help him. And he couldn’t, because there was a great chasm between hell and heaven.

She asked her mum, Herodias, what she should ask for. She said to ask for John the Baptist’s head. So she went and asked him, Herod didn’t want to do it, but he had said so, so he told an executioner to chop Johns head off and bring it to him.

Feral Camels

Lots of camels are in the outback and their eating and drinking all the plant and water in the water holes. So they are becoming a big problem, the scientists say that their number(one million) could double in a year. The camels used to be used for carting stuff around the out back, but not anymore because theres more trucks and 4wds. Some people say we should eat the camel, it tastes pretty good(so I hear) a lot like beef (so I hear). It is available at some places but not enough to make a difference. I reckon I would like it, as long as it wasn’t too fatty or grisly.                                         (*Who wants a camel burger then?* Ehem er…. not me)

The Temptation of Jesus

Jesus was led out to the wilderness by the Holy Spirit because the devil was going to tempt him, he ate nothing for forty days and forty nights and on the forty first day the devil came and to him “If you’re really the son of God then turn this rock into bread” Jesus said no, because people don’t only need bread to live. Then the devil took Jesus to the top of the temple and told him to jump off because he obviously wouldn’t die. From then on Jesus told people to turn from their sins to God for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Teaching about Love for Enemies

The law of Moses says that you should love your friends and hate your enemies, but God loves all people, the good and the bad. If you only like people who like you, what good is that?

HOORAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(TEE HEEHEEHEE  (<->))

A great scientist once said that he could see so far because he had stood on the shoulder of a giant, and Archimedes was one of those giants.

Don’t Condemn Others

You shouldn’t judge other people, because how can you take the speck out of someone else’s eye, when you have a big plank in your own? HYPOCRITE! First you have to get the plank in your own eye out first and then you can see about the speck in the other person’s eye

The Adventures of Jason

Once there was a country that had peaceful people living in it UNTIL…… A mean guy came and drove all the people out because he wanted the gold and precious stuff that there was lots of, for himself. The people all got in their boats and sailed away to some nearby islands where they built a city and gathered an army, the leader of the army was called Jason.

Peter said that just to make sure it was safe, he would walk out to him. When he walked out, he almost got to Jesus when he freaked out and started sinking, Jesus took his hand and pulled him up. A soon as they got into the boat the weather cleared up.

Fossil Fuels

Electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, its pretty smart but it makes a lot of carbon dioxide. Some people say that all the carbon dioxide is making the world hotter. The Government is spending lots of money on doing stuff to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are going into the atmosphere. One way, is when the co2 (carbon dioxide) comes out, it is pumped under the ground so it is trapped so it cannot get out.

Story of the Wheat and the Weeds

Jesus told a story about a man who planted some wheat, and one night while he was sleeping an enemy came and planted weeds in the crop and when, the next day, the mans servants found them they asked what they should do with them, he said that they shouldn’t pull the weeds out then, because it would’ve damaged the wheat. But to wait for the wheat to be harvested then pull the weeds out of the wheat.

Story of the Farmer Scattering Seed

Jesus told a story about a man who scattered some seeds on his field, some fell on shallow soil but soon died because their roots were too short. Some fell on weeds and when they sprouted, the weeds drowned them. But some seeds fell on rich, fertile soil and when they grew they multiplyed lots and lots. This was what happened to the people, some of Jesus’ teaching fell on deaf ears, some went  through the ear of one person and out the other. But some of the rich, fertile ears and yeah.

The Brave Spartan Boy

When the Spartan boys were trained, they were taught to steal, and were praised when they stole something and got away with it(Huh!?!) Yeah anyway, so one time this kid stole a live fox and hid it in his cloak and brought it to school.

Yipee!

All the relatives and stuff came and the father said what his name was and blessed him and stuff and bla, bla, bla, bla, bla………………….. bla ……….. zzzzzzzzzzzz….zzzzzzzzzzz OH! Oops I think I fell asleep……. anyway, then they all went to Hungry Jacks®.

The Training of the Spartan Boys

When a Spartan boy was born, first it was taken to an old, wise man, if the baby was deformed or something, than it would be taken into the mountains and left there to die of thirst of be eaten by a lion or something. So in their childhood children would be told stories and stuff until the age of 7, then they would be taken to the men who were to to train them to be brave.

Long after the Deluge of Ogyges, another Egyptian prince came to Greece and taught the natives there to plant wheat and corn and harvest it. He also taught them to grow vineyards and olives and crush the juice and oil out of the grapes and olives.

The Deluge of Ogyges

When an Egyptian first settled in Greece, it was a prince. He found a lovely place where the climate was very nice and there were some people living there already. He taught them how to cook their meat and make houses out of stone. They made great big stone walls, they like the prince so they let him stay with them. They lived happily for years until one day there was an earthquake, the town started to flood, so the people and the prince started to run to the mountains. Lots of people died because they didn’t get up soon enough. In a couple of months the water had sunk into the ground so the people could go back to their homes. They never forgot the horrible thing that had happened so they told it to their children and their childrens children and they called the story the deluge(or flood) of Ogyges (Og-ee-jees(i think)) because Ogyges was the king at the time when the earthquake was.

When Jesus and his disciples were walking, two blind men walked up behind them and stared shouting and asking for him to make them see. Jesus asked them if they believed he could make them see, they said yes. Jesus healed them because they had faith.

Bee Threat

In some parts of the world, lots, as in, hundreds of millions, of bees are dying. And if they keep dying, a lot of fruit and vegies and plants will die. There are a fair few different theories as to why the bees are dying. Some think it is because of mobile phones, the radiation from the mobile phones are interfering with the bee’s natural ability to get home. And some also think the pesticides and stuff that their spraying all over the plants, is making the bees sick, in some places in America they once sprayed the chemicals right near them to wipe out a nasty bug that had been attacking them.

Good and Bad Fruit

Fig trees produce figs and thorn-bushes produce thorns. Fig trees cannot produce thorns and thorn-bushes cannot produce figs.

Teaching about Salt and Light

We are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor it cannot be salty ever again. It has no use except to be thrown out and trampled by people(even though thats not really a use, but still!) you are the light of the world, like a big building covered with lights so all can see it, but a big building doesn’t turn of all its lights, instead it turns even more lights on! And so we should let our hearts shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early Inhabitants of Greece

The beginning of Greek history is much like a fairytale because the people in Greece didn’t know how to write, so the stuff that happened didn’t get recorded. For a long while they just told the history to their children and their children passed it on to their children and so on and each time it was told, the story changed a bit and it got wilder and wilder and soon people didn’t know when truth stopped and fairytale began.

Teaching about Giving to the Needy

When you give to the needy, do not do it in public, do not shout “Hey look what I’m doing!” Like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and the streets for they have already recieved there rewards from men. But when you give to someone do it in secret, for the Father,who knows all secrets will reward you.

Story of the Three Servants

There was once a man who was going on a trip, he called his three servants together and entrusted 5 bags of gold to the first, 2 bags to the 2nd and 1 to the last. When he left, the first and the second went right to work and made double what they had gotten, but the other was afraid he would lose it and buried it in the ground. When the man got back from his trip he was very pleased with the first 2 servants and he treated them to Cold Rock® for dessert and gave them many more responsibilities, but he was displeased with the other one and fired him.

Video Games

Video games are a lot of fun but for some people it isn’t just fun, its serious business, They’re training to be video game artists. Its a huge industry, and now makes over 100 million dollars a year. But to make big money the companies don’t themselves have to be big. An Aussie company called Ratbag turned out to be a massive success, but it started as only two mates. The reason it was such a big success was it was bought by a big company. Some movie makers are annoyed because a fair few people spend more on video games than on going to the movies.
