Donald Trump sent a strong message to the king to combat terrorism harder.He also became the first president to pray at Jerusalem's Western Wall one of jerusalem's holiest sites.They also signed a one billion dollar deal on military.       

weekly news

A Bill which has just been passed by Parliament allows schools to enrol children before their fifth birthday.The new rule means that children can start school from the beginning of the term closest to their fifth birthday.Until now their fifth birthday determined when they would start school, and Education Minister Nikki Kaye says the system needs to be flexible.The Bill also contains other changes to the education system, and Ms Kaye said it was the most significant update for 30 years.It makes clear that seclusion – isolating misbehaving children – isn’t allowed.

WEAKLY NEWS

People across the country have put their alarms a couple hours early over the weekend to catch a glimpse of an annual meteor shower. The Eta Aquarid shower passes the earth once a year (sounds cool), and is one of two showers created by dust and debris from Halley’s Comet (A very big commit). New Zealand’s very dark skies at this time of year give us one of the best viewing places in the world.The meteors were most visible between 3am and 5am on Friday and Saturday mornings. At their peak (I ain't got no time for that)There would have been up to 60 meteors an hour visible.

OMG POST

There is a baby in the UK that look exactly like a young Ed Sheeran.

Isla Walton is 2 years old and looks just like the “Shape of You” crooner.

Her mum, Zoe Walton said that her family members always pointed out how much little Isla looks like Sheeran.

Walton says that she and Isla have absolutely no relation to Sheeran, but would love to meet him since they are both big fans.

Tom Davies, a man from Shrewsbury, England saw Isla’s photo on Facebook and decided to post it to Twitter, where the photo soon went viral, receiving over 180,000 likes and 82,000 retweets.

Workshop

Yesterday I was in a Cammas workshop, Because it was one of goals from last year. In this workshop I had to watch a 4 minute video talking about commas and fanboys, then looking at three passages and had to find the comma mistakes. After that we did a piclit, a piclit is when you get a pitcher and you have to write about but I had to use commas and here’s my finished piece (don’t judge)  

Weekly reflection

Today's blog post will be about my weekly reflection.

So far the this week I have filmed a documentary about has politics changed over the years and all I have to do is edit.

This morning I have played the Game Of Awesome for 30 mins and I came third by 1 point it’s still bronze.

At lunch time I scored 3 runaway tries in touch. That game was hard not because the other team was fast because my team could not catch the ball any way we won 3/2.

Later today I have tech were i will be sewing something I know I’m lucky.

North Korea vs America

This weeks hot topic is....

North Korea is trying to make nuclear missiles  (powerful bombs) That can cause devastating damage. Over the last couple years they have tested a large number of missiles. People think they may use them to hit targets in place like the USA.

It’s believed that North Korea isn’t currently building any missiles that can travel to and strike  New Zealand, which are around 10,200 kilometres away (Thank god for that).

US President Donald Trump has been sending warships and submarines to South Korea to try to get North Korea to stop his weapon-building plans.

But there’s no sign that they are going to stop.

However, there have been many arguments between the USA and North Korea in the past and, although they never have been friends, things have always been worked out to stop a war in the past.

So, just what is North Korea?

North Korea was formally created on 9 September 1948, following the end of the Second World War.

Since then, North Korea and South Korea have been enemies.

North Korea is home to more than 24 million people, who live under a form of communist rule, which strictly controls all areas of daily life. People have to ask permission to travel around and it’s difficult for visitors to enter the country too. All TVs and radios are tuned to state channels and people caught listening to foreign broadcasts face harsh punishments. These controls mean that most North Koreans may have little or no idea of world events, or how their country is thought of by the outside world.

Most North Koreans are extremely poor. Many don’t even own things like fridges, washing machines or even bikes (Know wonder they're angry). Many people rely on aid agencies, such as the United Nations, to provide food because there is not enough in the country to eat.

Kim Jong-un is the current leader of North Korea.

Random Joke

This day forward I will be putting a real funny joke on my blog every now then this is not the funniest joke I've heard but it's the most appropriate one (bum bum dis)

This joke came because I just watched Garfield I hope you like it.

DONALD TRUMP RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT

Donald Trump has resigned as President of the United States of America.

Speaking today to White House media, Trump said he was stepping down from his position, effective immediately.

The decision means that Trump was President for 69 days, making him the shortest President in terms of days in office …. as well as hand size.

When questioned on the matter of who would take over as President, Trump said his final act was to change the Constitution so that his son would now be given the title of United States President. He said that he modeled this new system on the British Monarchy where the next King just “stays in the family.”

At this stage no official reason has been given for the sudden departure, however, sources close to Trump believe it might have something to do with the poor living standards of the White House.

Sources close to the President have mentioned that Trump often said that the 132 rooms in the White House weren’t enough for all his personalities. On top of this he liked to have one bathroom for each of his 52 toupees – one for each week of the year – the White House only has 35 bathrooms.

In contrast, the Trump Tower, has 339 rooms, easily enough for all of Donald’s personalities and hair pieces.

Happy april fools

Bomb scare at White House!!!!!

On March 20 White house authorities had to arrest a person following a bomb scare at the White House.

Over the weekend a man drove to a White House checkpoint and claimed to have a bomb. Following a close inspection of the vehicle no device was found in the vehicle, but White House security had a lot better than he expected.

It was the second scare at the White House on Saturday. A person earlier jumped over a bike rack in a buffer zone in front of the building (Fancy Word) But was unable to scale a fence into the grounds before being tackled by guards, good for them.

Lucky US President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time of both incidents.

Last weekend it was the New Zealand open,The New Zealand open was being held at Millbrook. New Zealand has not won the New Zealand open since 2003 but that was going to change. It was a three way tie between Michael Hendry,Brad Kennedy and overnight leader Ben Campbell at par three on the 18’th hole.

It didn't help when Brad and Ben both went for a drink in lake, Which gave a easy win for Michael Hendry. A month ago Michael would've never thought of stepping foot on the green, Because he injured his back while in the gym. ‘’I never thought of winning the open because of my injury but I came out and suwg at the ball’’
