This is a funny comic for all those who saw Avatar in 3d (or 2d). I managed to catch the 3d version in Vancouver. Awesome!
PS - let me know if you don't get it. It's ok. Not everyone gets maths humour.

Science Camp
Science camp is awesome!
We are in Rotorua at the moment, staying at Tim's and Faith's Motel. Yesterday we went to a place called Agroventures, where we all did a few extreme activities. Sprint jet boating, freefall extreme, the dreaded swoop, and the fast shweeb. Here are a few pictures.
Today we are going to check out some places with thermal activity.
Catch you later!

Text Books
Hey all,
Don't forget to bring your Physics and Calculus textbooks back to the library before school closes.
Also, I'm away for a while over the Summer Holidays, so may not have a chance to see your results when they come out. I'd love to know what you get, so if you remember, please email me how you went.

Thanks Guys.

That's All Folks!
Well I'm sitting outside the Calculus exams with about 10 minutes to go.
Nick reckoned it was hard, I told him to study but he just kept listening to music and then he stole my chair. He reckons he would have got a Merit. I'm not putting money on it.
Anyway, hope you guys did okay. I will do the physics and calculus exams this weekend and put the links to them up here. I know what it's like waiting for them, and I often think it's better if you have an idea of how you went.
Anyway, have a good summer if I don't see you again. Feel free to drop into school if you want to come see me - we have about another week to go.
Be safe, catchya next year,
Mr W

Great Physics Program
Hey all Physicists!
I have just found this awesome program that I will be using in both Year12 and Year 13 Physics next year. It gives you opportunities to play with things that you wouldn't normally be able to. Diffraction, interference, circuits, radiation, Doppler effect, and more.
Download from here:
http://www.yenka.com/en/Downloads/
After installing, you can apply for a home license, and that will unlock all of the aspects. There is some stuff about maths that I haven't looked at yet.
It's very worthwhile playing with this sort of thing in your own time, as you will recognise some of the phenomenon already, and what you don't know, I'll explain next year.
Have fun.

What you were born FOR
If you have ever been in my classes, you know I like to listen to music. I love how music can just be playing sometimes, and even though you are not exactly concentrating on it, it's still going in. I'm a huge proponent of making sure the music you listen to has a message that you want to reflect in your life, because it will come through.
Anyway, I was listening to a song today, and there is a line in it "this is the day you were born." That got me thinking, what is it actually saying? It's not my birthday, and I certainly wasn't just born. There must be something behind it.
A lot of times, it can feel like life is something that happens to us. That is not what God wants for us. We need to make sure that the decisions that we are making are conscious choices, and choices that will be best for others and us. Every day you are in a moment that has been planned for. You life has been constructed so that the moment you are in, the stuff you are going through, the people you are with, everything will be impacted in someway. You may not know it, but this very second, it was planned that you would be reading this. This isn't the day you were born, but this is the day that makes your birthday important. This is the day you were born FOR.
It's sometimes easy to forget that. God doesn't want you to be like a flag that has been torn and is flapping loosely in the wind. God made you so that you can stand for Him each day.
Don't let life just happen to you.
Happen to life.
PS. I hope you guys don't mind the occasional rant on this blog. There are some thoughts that need to get out.
