tittle:TOP TEN LARGEST MAMMALS IN THE WORLD

 The mammals listed here are the biggest and the bulkiest of their kind that inhabit our planet today. They include a surprisingly diverse cast of creatures—the cumbersome southern elephant seal, the majestic blue whale, the bounding European hare, the blunt-nosed capybara, the massive African elephant, and the wide-jawed hippopotamus to name a select few. Here you'll find the facts and figures that place these mammals at the top of their clade when it comes to size and stature.

Wow, its 2015 already

Hey guys,
I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and may this year bring success in life for all of you.

Separation 2014

              It's almost the end of the year 2014... Time past really fast. It feels like when you just blinked your eyes, you're already in grade 8. Then, moving forward to high school, college and university. It feels really unusual as you want to have fun not growing up so fast. The most important thing is cherish your childhood.

             The question is what I liked about my year. Well, the first day of school in SIS, was amazing as I got to know my new friends. They were amazing and polite. I met awesome teachers too! The teachers were really energetic, making the class more awake. As time past, we had class parties, celebrations and game times. At the end if school, my classmates and I will always have extra curricular activities. We will play around and joke around, which was really hilarious! 

             I think I'll miss my teachers teaching my classmates and I because she'll make the class fun not boring XD I will also miss attending PE class as my teachers, Miss Jessica and Mr Frank made us tired :P I will miss being in the same class as my friends as they made the class crazy!

             My favourite memory in SIS was the school trip to Nomad, Perak. It was exciting as we got to play white water rafting, which was also my first time doing that :) We got to jump from a high height, which was terrifying! It was a fun time as we slept in a dorm where we can chat with each other and play. It felt like a holiday to us actually XD

            Well, I am scared of graduating to grade 8 as there will be harder things to learn and understand. There will be lots of tests and homework which frightens me! The exciting thing is that there will be new students, which is going to be awesome.

            I am looking forward to cherish the school trip that will be held in Singapore in December. That would be our last and final grade 7 fun time that we will spend together! 

Separation

A year ago i never picture my self like the way it's now . When I came to grade 8 , I was scared of new student , teacher . After 1 month I fell that I am more ok in class becouse I found that I am in best class with best teacher [ miss Yates ] I think I will miss all. My friend and teacher and the moment we have in PE . Best memory of sis was when I dress as Cupid and I took a lot of picture with all my friends. I am scared of going to grade 9because I am going to found new teacher and no core teacher.i look forward to get best mark in grade 9 and I go Canada faster

1)  I've researched about what is Rememberance Day. Rememberance Day AKA Armistice Day , its mean to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since the end of World War 1 .  Its always celebrate in  11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Most people celebrates the Rememberance day are people who will give up a fraction of their day to remember those who gave their lives so that we may live in freedom.  Poem that i found online : 

                      In Flanders fields the poppies blow

                   Between the crosses, row on row,
                   That mark our place; and in the sky
                   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
                   Scarce heard amid the guns below.
                   We are the Dead. Short days ago
                   We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
                   Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
                   In Flanders Fields.
                   Take up our quarrel with the foe:
                   To you from failing hands we throw
                   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
                   If ye break faith with us who die
                   We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                    In Flanders Fields.

       By Dr John McCrae, 1915

2)    What i liked about this year 2014 is basically very less…. Because a lot bad things happen. For example , two MAS Airline had gone and died in the same year and other bad things had happen in other countries too . I 70% disliked this year and 30% liked this year. The percentage of I liked about my year is only 30% …. so the 30% that i liked about this year is i've met a lot new friends when started to come SIS . 

       This year are going to end which means next year i'm moving up to Grade 8 . Obviously i'll miss all of my Grade 7 friends especially my friends in my class. Other than that , i'll also miss all grade 7 teachers especially my core teacher - MR. NATHAN . When i first came in 7B , i thought Mr. Nathan is a very fierce teacher because he often smile . But after day pass by , i finally know that Mr Nathan is a good teacher , he likes to laugh at us and say some funny things. 

       My favorite memory at SIS so far is with my friends or best friends . And theme day that are very interesting. Further more, and all my Grade 8 friends, they are like my senior . But i got bad memory and good memory . Bad memory is when i argued with most of the grade 7 girls cause some stuff had happened, and now we 're back to be best friends.

      What I'm scare of next year  in grade 8 probably the teachers , friends and subjects.. Next year everything will be different , teachers , friends and move to difficult subjects . Most of the grade 8 teachers are gonna move to high school to teach :( I'm very sad cause i thought i can be in Ms.Yates class , but she 's gonna teach high school students year with Mr.Eves . and all grade 7 class are gonna move to all different grade 8 class . I wish all my best friends will be in the sane class with me .

     What I'm looking forward next year is Improve my grades more and grade 8 might be more difficult than grade 7 . Thats all i want next year :D 

      

seperation

I like my teacher and friend alot my teachers are so kind to me .i think i will miss all my friend and teachers . I favorite memory in SIS was playing dots ball with friend in PE i scared of the teacher was teaching me in next year.

People who celebrated usually bring first ever flower  because the color Red represent the blood of the armies who lost their lives. American celebrate it , but they call it as " Veteran Day".  

"They shall grow not old

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them." -Laurence Binyon.

This is a poem about Remeberance Day :) 

Separation :'(

          It is nearly the end of the year and soon, we will be separated from our classmates and teachers. Some people will go to Grade 8, some Grade 9. I will be going to Grade 8 next year.

What did I like about the year?
 I liked the activities, and friends and almost everything about the year including physical education and theme days. Yes, I said ALMOST. I did not like writing assignments or homework.

What I think I'll miss?
I think I will miss the games and fun activities during classes because when I get to Grade 8, it may not be very fun anymore. I will also of course miss my teachers and friends.

Favourite memory at SIS so far?
My favourite memory was the parties that my class threw throughout the years. I also loved it when we (my class and I) worked together. I also loved the theme days because its the day when you can dress however you want. I also loved drama for The Arts in class.

What am I scared of?
I'm scared of what class am I going to be, are my friends going to go to the same class as me, what teacher is going to teach me. I am also scared of the level of education since it is going to be harder (obviously).

What do I look forward to?
I look forward to meet new friends and can finally be the 'older' ones in middle school. I want to make a lot of Grade 7 friends but I don't know if it's going to be easy xD. I also look forward to a new education.

          I really hope that I can be in a class where some of my classmates are in. That way, I don't have to rush to make friends the first day of school. I wish my friends the best in the new year.

Separation:
There are many things i liked about my year in grade 8. Most of them are being with my friends at school. others are the assignments that we do together. I mostly liked spending time with my friends.I also like to go on field trips like the one we did going to Broga. we get to experience a lot of things. We went flying fox playing challenging games and also built a raft to test it in the pond nearby. I think i would miss being with some of my friends.My favorite memory so far it getting to play computer games everyday during summer. I think i am sacred of being separated from my friends and not having to talk to them again. The things i look forward to is to make new friends and make a bigger connection with the students in the whole school so i can have friends anywhere i see.

Rememberance day

R8ememberance Day was celebrate in November 11 and celebrates every year .That was a day to remember the people that died for theor country and on that day the people will wear a poppy on there shirt.



Long ago and far away
across the ocean
wild and wide,
the young men stormed
an alien shore
where many of them died.
Here and now
old men remember
the valor and the gore,
and the boyish faces
of their youth
that are young for ever more

Rememberance Day Facts

"The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. 

Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11"

SEPERATION - GRADUATION 27.11.14 ):

I liked making new friends! (: I also liked learning new things! (:

Yes, it was hard, a lot has happened this year, but we need to know that life never gives you what you want to precieve so we should just stop looking back and start moving foward. (:

I'll miss being the in the oldest grade XD ahaha no. I don't know, I'll miss being a year younger, cause the older I get the harder life's become. I'm scared because I think I'm not ready, it was hard enough skipping a grade to get here, but for all the work and stres. ): I'll learn to deal with it though, I always do.. (:

I'm scared of highschool, it's like we've to struggle to fit in again, and exams as well. The thought of failing scares me. Everything scares me to be honest, I just misgregard them and move along, what else should I do? Ahah. (:

My favourite memory at SIS has been meeting the amazing people I call my friends today! (': <3

I'm looking foward to finding a part of myself in highschool. (:

Life goals: To stay strong (:
