Smile
Smile
This book smile is about a young girl named Raina. Raina had to go to the orthodontist because when she went to a scout meeting, all of a sudden she fell down and her two front teeth came out. She then had to go to the orthodontist. The doctor had said her two front teeth had been pushed up further into her gums and she looked like a vampire! She then had to wear braces but was scared she would look like a nerd. She also had to wear fake teeth. Her friends are so mean to her talking about how ugly she looked and more. So she found new friends as she grew up. In the end she finds out that she had been letting the way she looked on the outside affect how she really felt on the inside and she has now focused on her interests the more she brought out things she liked about herself. This book has taught Raina a big lesson.
I recommend this book for 10+ and I rate this book 9/10. I really encourage people to read this if you like comic books.

Lunar Eclipse
Lunar Eclipse
The special thing that happened on the 4th of April was that a lunar eclipse occurred and sky gazers were in different parts of the world! Not only that but the lunar eclipse that had occurred had been the shortest one of the century.
The Lunar Eclipse was very visible from the western United States, New Zealand, Eastern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan and the extreme West of Russia.
Eclipse occur when the earth is between the sun and the moon. The moon needs the light from the sun because the sun doesn't produce light itself. Except the moon has been blocked with the earth and then that is when the shadow of the earth lays on top of the moon. When that happens that is how the lunar eclipse is progressed.
Blood Moons are referred to a Lunar Eclipse. They are also usually considered to occur once or twice every year. The four continuous ones that are scaring many people. There was also a book by Pastor John Hagee. That book was made in 2013 and the book was called “Four Blood Moons: Something is about to change.
Well the four blood moons have freaked people out already by what’s made it worse is the book “Four Blood Moons: Something is about to change”. This book has been scaring people a lot all about the four moons. What a scary thing to be in!

The Making of Chocolate
The Making of Chocolate
Ingredients:
Cocoa Powder
Cocoa Butter
Sugar
Milk
Lecithin
Nibs
Method:
- The making of chocolate starts with the cocoa beans. These cocoa beans grow on cocoa trees and those cocoa trees are found in the warm regions. 70% of the cocoa beans grow in West Africa.
- These cocoa beans are then gathered to dry in the sun so the beans can help to have its flavour for the chocolate.
- When the beans arrive to the correct destination it gets blended, cleaned and then dried. When the Cocoa Beans become dry the shells come off and leaves the nibs behind which that is the raw ingredient of chocolate.
- The raw ingredient (Nibs) is then grounded into the liquid cocoa mass. The mass is made into the cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
- Sugar, Milk and Lecithin are included so all the ingredients are mixed together and poured into the set of rollers.
- Conching is the last step. The ingredients are mixed into one large tank.
- Then that mixture is used to make it into blocks, bars or chocolate drops and more..
- The chocolate is then heated in a process which is called “Tempering” and is poured to make solid, caramel, cream and more..

Boy Bullied for amazing cause
Boy Bullied for amazing cause
A 8 year old boy named “Christian McPhilamy” has suffered 2 and a half years of bullying, just for letting his hair grow long for an amazing cause!
It all started when Christian McPhilamy was at the age of 6 and was inspired to begin growing his hair very long. Christian McPhilamy did that so he could donate it to St Jude Children’s Hospital where it is used for wigs and other things for children who are treated for cancer. When Christian McPhilamy was getting bullied he said all the teasing and bullying didn’t make him feel good or happy but he still continued to participate in doing his goal.
Christian was teased and bullied by other children calling him a girl just because he had long blonde hair. Adults, Teachers and other Parents tried and tried to persuade him to cut his hair. Some people gave money so he could cut his long blonde hair although the adults, teachers and parents didn’t know about his cause and his goal of donating his hair so they apologised.
This year 2015 he managed to donate four 10 inches of ponytails. Way to go Christian McPhilamy! You have completed a goal you are a brave and adventurous young boy. Never give up on the rest of your goals Christian and Keep it up!

At the age of five that was when Lionel Messi started playing football he played for Grandoli which was a club coached by his Father. Lionel Messi has his own style of playing football which has been compared to a famous footballer “Diego Maradona” because of their similar playing style. This gives Lionel Messi a lower centre of gravity than most players. His whole body can keep control of the ball and dribble at his own pace. With his incredible dribbling skills he is able to undertake dribbling runs against the goal. Lionel Messi established in 2007 the Leo Messi Foundation and on March 2013 he had donated $600,000 to a children’s hospital. How nice and kind to do such a thing like that because he donated a lot of money to help those children who really need that money!
Lionel has skills that I have never seen before! He can control the ball very well. He can play his positions like an expert because he is an expert! Lionel Messi has skills that could impress anyone and could inspire new football players. I encourage everyone to research Lionel Messi or watch his games and you will see how much of an expert he really is.

My Grandma
Grandma
My Grandma is my hero. She has always been there for me and still has. My Grandma always has a helping hand and one big smile. She taught me something which was to love, share and always be kind not only to her but to everyone. She would always help me in my school-work. She was a teacher that taught me a lot of things. She was a nurse that would run and get the first aid kit even if it was just a little scrape. My Grandma does all those things and even more because she cares for me and loves me.
My Grandma loves going into the city and so do I, we go into the city and have lunch, go onto fares, watch the boats, go shopping and go to church. My Grandma is the best Grandma that I could have ever had and no-one can replace her. She is so loving, kind, generous, trustworthy, polite and wise. I thank my Grandma for everything that she has done, for helping others, for being respectful and for just always telling the truth. She would never break a promise or even lie. She has a big great smile that I would love to see everyday and which I can. I thank God for my Grandma and thank him for giving me such a kind and wise one. Thank-you Grandma for everything. I love you Grandma from the bottom of my heart.

James Naismith
In the year of 1891 a Canadian which was 30 years old was born on November the 6th 1861. His birth was at Almonte in the province of Canada.
James Naismith was the inventor of Netball. It all started when James Naismith had invented/created a men’s game called “Basketball”. He then invented the girl version of Basketball which is by the Boston YMCA. That was when the game “Netball” was formed.
Netball was then introduced in Australia and also to many other countries. The netball games were taught to people by the English school teachers in the 1900’s. Women loved the new version of basketball (Netball) except they found out that long passes were much harder to goal or execute-(achieve) due to how much strength you need to have. So women and ladies changed the game around to make it more easier for them. By doing that they had made rules like changing the courts. So they decided to divide the courts into thirds and they said that there was a rule that you must follow. The rule was to catch or touch the ball at least once in each third of the court every time. When they had finished discussing all the rules they all took the backboard off from the basketball hoop, and designed it into something else which was a smaller sized ring to fit a soccer ball but changed it into a netball ball.
When James was a little boy he struggled in school work and learning. Except he was a gifted boy at farm labor. He spent his days playing hide-seek, playing catch and duck on a rock. James had many honors and accomplishments awards. For example: He had earned the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, FIBA hall of fame, Canadian Basketball hall of fame, Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, Ontario Sports Legends Hall of Fame, Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, McGill University Sports Hall of Fame, Kansas State Sports Hall of Fame, Inventor of Basketball. Most of his awards all ended with the words “Hall of Fame” because Hall of Fame is like a housing for famous groups, celebrities, illustrators and more.
James didn’t only have awards. He also had written books! There were only about 3 books but what a great start! Those lovely books were Basketball’s Origins: Creative Problem Solving in the Gilded Age, Basketball: Its Origin and Development and lastly Basketball - Its Origin and Development.
Sadly in the end he had died. His death was on the 28th of November 1939. James Naismith died at a place in the United States, Lawrence, Kansas.
