Pi is an irrational number which means it goes on and on and on forever without repeating itself. Pi is used to calculate the area and circumference of a circle. All the digits of pi that I know: 3.14159265358979 (PS. Felix and Drason know way more digits of pi than I know). If you want to find more digits of pi, go to http://www.piday.org/million.php Anyway, Here's the first thousand digits:

Shark Fin Soup
Wednesday 5th September 2012
By Giovanni San Jose
SHARKS
Sharks are beatiful animals, they have survived 450,000,000 years, they control 2/3 of the planet, but they are in danger. Men kill them for their fins because the chinese people think that they will make them more healthy, but that they do is that they cut the shark's fins and then they throw the shark alive to the ocean so it dies slowly or is eaten by other animals. This is so cruel but is a big amount of money that you win if you do that, a kilogram of shark fin costs 300 american dollars. The men kill 10,000,000 sharks every year so please don,t eat shark fin soup.

Limericks Poem By George Hatton
Wednesday 5th September
A Limericks poem made by George Hatton
There once was a annoying duck.
Who had brought a diesel truck.
Then one day when he sang,
With a big great loud 'BANG',
he walked into sticky bombs which made him stuck

pio pio
On 10th of September year 8 students are going to pio pio for 5days.
I am really excited about going to a farm and doing the activities there.
We are going to do so many things in 5days like riding quadbikes, riding horses, shooting and much more. I think I will have a great time there.

PIOPIO
I'm very excited about going to PIOPIO, it must be very fun. I've only been to a farm once and i want to go to another one.
We have been looking at our personal journey and where we would like to go in the future. We looked at our goals and ambitions, what would we like to do and experience in our lives. This has been an entertaining process, but sometimes it is fun to look backwards as well. Looking back over the year we have grown up and doen so much stuff.
The mini olympics were fun. The year 8's dressed up in orange to support the Netherlands and the year 7's wore green, orange, and red to support Algeria. We all had an awesome day.
We looked at water transport in plants and learnt that the xylem transports water up and the phloem transports nutrients from photosynthesis down to the roots. We demonstrated this using food colouring and white flowers.
We made marble tracks and did a science fair. Some of our experiments were awesome and some of them weren't that great. It was fun to have the yougner kids come down to look at what we had done.
We went the maritime musem and learnt about journeys across the ocean, we learnt how to use compasses to navigate, although if we needed to use them seriously some of us may get a bit lost.
Even dating all the way back to Wellington. This year has been one big journey.
