We need to Remember.

We need to remember,

all that went to war.

the sacrifice they made.

all those that died.

We need to remember, them.

We need to remember, all the nurses, saving lives.

the uniforms they wore.

the mud and rain, they trudged through.

We need to remember, the bombs going off in no man's land.

We need to remember, to visit war memorials, to remember all these special people.

We need to remember, the wonderful flanders fields, once with poppies, turned into mud.

We need to remember to wear a poppy.

Tigers are Increasing their Numbers!

Guess what! The amount of tigers in the wild are growing! This is the first time in conservation in history that the numbers have gone up. Tigers are an endangered species. 100 years ago there was 100,000 tigers in the wild. Due to poaching and losing there homes, the numbers have gone down. Now though, the numbers of Tigers in the wild are going up.

People hope that by the next chinese new year, the numbers will have doubled. Even though the numbers are increasing, people say that “There is still work to be done.”

Man Pays to sleep in a Box.

Peter Berkowitz pays to sleep in a box, which he calls a "Pod". The "Pod" He sleeps in is no larger than a bookshelf. It is only one meter high, and he struggles to get his pants on in the morning. He says that his home is "Honestly very comfortable". He pays $400 a month to stay in it. He has full access to all their food and drink.    

Here is a picture of inside his "Pod"

It may look big, but as I said it is only one meter high and you would be shocked to know that it is only 2.5 metres long.

Peter makes a living in his “Comfortable Pod”

My Everyday Hero - My Dad

My Dad.

My Dad is a perfect example of an everyday hero. Being a role model, having respect and being friendly, are a few examples of what qualities a hero could have. My Dad is everyone of those things, but don’t think those are the only qualities he has...

My dad has a unique sense of humor and can cheer anyone up. He has a spacious imagination for telling stories. Having his scruffy, ginger hair makes him look like his imagination is on top of his head. Shining blue eyes reflect on to me and it makes him look so cheerful. He is such a happy person that lots of people want to be around.

If anything is worrying me, he has no trouble cheering me up. He either makes a funny face, or says something about what I’m worried about that is absolutely ridiculous. No one can be sad around him. Having such a playful laugh, I end up laughing too.

My Dad is my everyday hero. I love his smile, I love his sense of humor, I love him all, and he loves me.
