Robot Disaster

 On the weekend Jakob’s dad told him to mow the lawn and if he didn’t he wouldn’t get any pocket money. Jakob would rather work on his invention for the county fair. Jacob‘s invention was a robot maid. 

Suddenly, crash, boom! His invention exploded and he won himself last place. Obviously when you hear this you would want to participate because the prize is $100,000,000,000 (one billion dollars).

Jacob was so sad when his robot maid exploded. All of a sudden Jacob had a tremendous idea. Jacob bellowed, “Dad, dad. I have an idea and I know you will love it.” Dad replied, “What is it Jacob? I’m very busy.”

 “I have a new invention it is called mowbot and I’m sure it will be a big help.”

 It took him all night with no sleep. He needed some scissors, a blender, dad’s nose  hair shaver, some knives, a laser pointer, some wires and a computer. Imagine having to stay up all night and work on an invention. But in the morning Jacob was full of energy for some reason but I won’t worry about that.

One week later Jacob got told to mow the lawn again so Jacob pulled out the mowbot and turned it on. He had an ice cold juice and some shades. He sat down and relaxed on a beach chair.

An hour later Jacob woke up to the sound of people moaning. When Jacob looked to the side his mowbot was gone. He went looking around his road but mowbot was nowhere to be seen.

Jacob remembered that he put a GPS tracker on mowbot, so he got on his phone and started to track down mowbot.  When he found it, the mowbot had found his way into people’s houses and it was destroying everybody's property,  shaving their heads Bald and destroying their best clothes!

Jacob was in a lot of trouble for causing all that chaos so he was forced to destroy his mowbot. Jacob wished he was a real inventor so his inventions wouldn’t go crazy or explode.

“Dad I have another idea for an invention and this time it won’t go out of control because…”

“NO! There are two reasons why I don’t want you making another invention. Reason one we can’t afford for more supplies and reason two we owe the neighborhood all the stuff that mowbot destroyed!”

It looks like it’s back to mowing the lawns by hand.

How to Swim

Swimming is an important lesson everyone in New Zealand needs to know. If you are at a beach and the tide is really strong and you get washed out to sea, you will need to learn to swim and this is how you do it.

1. The first thing you need to know is how to keep afloat  above the water.

2. You need to start off in the shallow end. Then you need to move your arms around and around in a sort of motion until you are moving and then you start kicking.

3. When you are kicking and moving your arms make sure you are looking at the bottom of the pool which makes your body flat against the the top of the water.

4. When you are going swimming again well you need to learn how breath and swim at the same time. Well you’re in luck because I know how to do it. When you are kicking and moving your arms you have to tilt on your side with your ear on your arm and always remember you only have a few seconds of air so make it quick.

  

5. When you have done that you will have to do that until you are where you want to be.

I love maths because it’s my favourite subject and I’ve learnt it since I was a little me. Plus I really enjoy gaming because it’s my passion.

I’m a nerdy boy. If you give me a pile of maths I would finish it right in front of you. I’m a funny person. When someone is down or just needs a joke I will try and make them laugh. I try to be loyal to my family. If someone does something to my family I will always try to protect them.
