Hey guys, I'm back with another post, This time about microbiomes in space and space as a topic in general.
The reason I'm talking about microbiomes (which is out of the blue considering my regular topics) is that we have a project at school where there are 6 activities on a sheet. You have to choose 6 of the 10 to complete in the space of 6 weeks. One of the possible tasks is writing about something going on with NASA or a space related study in recent times. And on NASA.gov i found an interesting article about microbiomes in space that I thought I would write about.
So, I've rambled on long enough about why I'm writing about microbiomes. But I haven't actually said anything about the actual microbiomes yet!
Microbiomes are essentially a biome (fancy word for climate)
of microbes. An you may be thinking right now, what does NASA have to do with microbiomes? Well, a recent study NASA has started is to do with the microbes and the microbiomes in NASA space ships. They are doing this study to find out different things that will eventually help them make the journey to Mars more fruitful and possible more quickly.
Phew, that was a very long post! If you've gotten to this point thank you very much for sitting through that hole long spiel and enduring my long, boring and meandering post. As always I hope you've had a wonderful day and bye!
P.S: This is going to be my last post for a couple weeks because its the holidays tomorrow. <3

Time Managment
Hi guys I'm back for another blog post, this time about the time management skills of me and my peers in the classroom.
The reason time management is an important skill to have in the year 7 and 8 classrooms here at St. Ben's is because of the task system that I have gone over in previous posts.
To give an explanation for context. The task system is the program we use in class to do our work, the way it works is that at the start of the week we get a sheet, the sheet has a timetable, and a set of "tasks" that have to be complete by the end of the week, a lot of the time the other year groups in school are doing designated work, the year 7s and 8s have "task time" in which we get to complete those "tasks" on the sheet.
If the "tasks" are not completed to a satisfactory standard in our teacher's eyes we have to stay inside whilst other children in the syndicate get to go outside and play Dodge-ball.
As Dodge-ball is a fun activity at the end of the week, it is an instenive to finish your task, and to finish your "tasks" by the end of the week you need good time management.
Since i spent about 14 days explaining how the system actually works I'll go briefly in to how good I actually am at time management. In short, I rekon I'm ok at it, its just im a slave to the video game League Of legends, and when I start playing I can't stop.
I find myself doing a mix of school task work and home task work, depening on A: how busy the week is and B: how many tasks there are.
Thank you very much for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day and just for this post I'm going to put the link to downloading League Of Legends here: https://signup.leagueoflegends.com/en/signup/redownload . If you click on this link or copy it in to your browser you can download the game.
