Hi guys. Welcome back to another blog post, and today we are going to talk about creative writing. Stop sit back, relax, and enjoy the post.

creative writing was about how to be creative to what you are going to publish (Author and other things) like do you know what you are actually writing about, make sure it makes sense. Like the little things. We were writing about the things we need to know like, "Writing comes first. Not inspiration" and got rhyme words.

We also got to hear one of his best selling songs, "Wonky donkey" and his other ones, like "My daddy ate an apple" And "The scariest thing in the garden"

Anyway's, that is the end my post and I hoped you all enjoyed!!

"I was walking down the road and then I saw a donkey- wait! Hey you guys can go now!" "Hmm hm, hm, hm"

My speech (Why do we have dreams/nightmares when we sleep)

Hey everybody!! It's ya boi trendy guy here doing all the trendy things... Neru is not here (Yes I am!) No he's not (FINE! I'm not) You will are about to see some of my speech (Actually it's mine) Oh yea... totally forgot. You know what? Just sit back, relax, and enjoy my- (MINE) Neru's speech... totally forgot again!

WHY, HELLO there!! I didn’t suspect to have guests this early, weren't you supposed to .5come a little later. Nevermind that. My name is Neru collins and I am going to tell a little bit about dreams Cause I have a meeting I have to attend to. It’s very important... so here goe- WAIT! FIrst try count how many times I said dreams. NOW GO!!	2. IF! I’m saying IF! You're weird enough not to know what dreams are I’m gonna explain it… Nah jokes I’m not. (I am...) Dreams are basically stories and images, our minds create while we sleep… Dreams can occur ANYTIME during sleep. But most vivid dreams. occur during deep sleep when the brain is most active. How do I know this? Well there something called googl- I mean… aaaa…  smartness- Yeah! My mind :)
3.Dreams Some experts say we dream AT LEAST four to six times per night. They are often similar to life, or a strange way. Dreams can seem so real while they happen that the person might think that they are awake when actually they are asleep. Sometimes a person realizes during a dream that they are dreaming, but keeps having the dream. This is called a lucid dream. This happens very little for most people, but for some people it happens often.	4. Nightmares Nightmares are dreams which scare or shock people. Nightmares are usually based around that person's everyday fears, like spiders or dark places, but even a dream that's not about those things can feel unpleasant. Nightmares are caused by many different things: being uncomfortable or in pain while sleeping, sickness, stress, or even eating right before sleeping.
5. Theories There are many different theories about why people dream and what their dreams mean. Every person has different dreams. Some psychologists believe that dreams reflect what is happening in the unconscious mind (the part of the mind that works by itself). Others think that people, places, and objects in dreams are symbols for other things in the dreamer's real life.	6. History Throughout history people have tried to make sense of dreams to learn things from them, and have often used them for divination or fortune-telling. Today there are still many books and websites devoted to making sense of dreams.
7. Daydreaming People were less happy when daydreaming than when they were focused on the task at hand. Other studies indicate a wandering mind is more common when our mood is low, and that it can enhance feelings of depression, it may sound sad but it’s true. Also people often daydream OR look into space.	8. I guess I will add staring into space If you are staring into space, you are looking straight in front of you, without actually looking at anything in particular, for example because you are thinking or because you are feeling shocked. Like this: He just sat in the dressing-room staring into space. It happens randomly and all you do is just stare without actually paying attention to anything else...
Anyways that has been my speech and all hoped you enjoyed! (I REALLY HAVE TO GO TO THE MEETING	Also did you know how many times I said dream if not, I said like: 25 or 26… BYEE!

Math Eviedence

Hello everybody!! Welcome back to another blog!! And today I am going to telling you how to choose a good strategy!! So sit back and relax and enjoy!!

Subtraction using place value

1. First. Make the 389, into 300, so (752 - 300). Minus that, to get, 452

2. Next, make the 89 into 80, then minus that with, 452 (452 - 80) to make, 372

3. Lastly, take the 9 and minus that to the 372 (372 - 9) to make, 363

4. Have fun with this strategy and hopefully it will improve your learning

Hello hello! How you doing again! Good? Bad? Meh I don't care... so of course my name is NERU Collins and I'm here to tell you about what I have been doing. So ENJOY!

So tomorrow (On Friday) we have to share our commonwealth games and this is what I have been researching about:      What is the commonwealth games?:

The Commonwealth Games is an international multi-sport event involving athletes from theCommonwealth of Nations. ... The most recen tCommonwealth Games are being held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia from 4 - 15 April 2018

What are the games at commonwealth games?:

Things like-

• Athletics-the sport of competing in track and field events, including running races and various competitions in jumping and throwing.
• Badminton-
• A game with rackets and shutttlecock is hit back and fourth across the net.
• Basketball-a game played between two teams of five players in which goals are scored by throwing a ball through a netted hoop fixed at each end of the court.
• Bowls-How do you play?
• Stand on the mat, feet together, knees and waist bent slightly. Take ball in your preferred hand (right or left) Step out with your opposite foot (left or right) Take a small back swing. Bend down and roll bowl along the ground. Roll it out at an angle, so the bowl curves back towards jack.
• Boxing-the sport or practice of fighting with the fists, especially with padded gloves in a roped square ring according to prescribed rules (the Queensberry Rules).
• Cycling- the sport or activity of riding a bicycle. Cycle racing has three main forms: road racing (typically over long distances), pursuit (on an oval track), and cyclo-cross (over rough, open country).
• Diving.
• Plunge head first into water with one's arms raised over one's head.
• Gymnastics.` exercises developing or displaying physical agility and coordination. The modern sport of gymnastics typically involves exercises on bars, beam, floor, and vaulting horse.

History of games:

A sporting competition bringing together the members of the British Empire was first proposed by John Astley Cooper in 1891, when he wrote an article in The Times suggesting a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as a means of increasing goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire". John Astley Cooper Committees were formed worldwide (Australia) and helped Pierre de Coubertin to get his international Olympic Games off the ground.[3] In 1911, the Festival of the Empire was held at The Crystal Palace in London to celebrate the coronation of George V. As part of the Festival of the Empire, an Inter-Empire Championships were held in which teams from Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom competed in athletics, boxing, wrestling and swimming events.

Random fact:

They haven't always been called the Commonwealth Games.

What is the commonwealth countries?:

Usually, countries within the Commonwealth are former British colonies, but some countries, such as Samoa, Papua New Guinea and Namibia, are more closely linked to current member-states such as Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, rather than to any historical allegiance or constitutional tie to England.

Which countries take part?:

Commonwealth Games, as a number of dependent territories compete under their own flags. The four Home Nations of the United Kingdom England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland also send separate teams.

How many people take part?:

53 people and 71 teams take part in commonwealth games.

So there is my commonwealth games ah... research. And I hoped you had a good time reading it. And I guess that's all I've been researching um... That's it (Again) Ah... BYE!!!
