A New Invention

Angelo Casimiro-is a fifteen year old boy who has invented a new charging device for phones. These shoe chargers work when the wearer walks, jumps or runs

!It works when the wearer jumps, walks or runs. The pressure goes to a disc inside the shoes and it produces energy.  This type of energy can charge your phone or any other device using a  USB port. Angelo Casimiro says that “The aim of my invention was for people who are constantly on the go or who live in remote areas with no regular access to electricity”.

However the shoes need a lot of movement to completely charge most devices. It roughly needs 8 hours of running or walking to charge a lithium-ion battery and 2 hours of playing basketball to give the average cell phone about 10 minutes of charge. I think that Angelo is going to be very successful with his invention. It’s a neat idea.

Would You Join Them?

Lots of Brazilians are happy and excited about The Fifa World Cup but not all of them. Lots of them are angry and frustrated about The Fifa World Cup happening. People around the world are starting to ask ...

“Why are they protesting against The Fifa World Cup?”

Others are also asking ...

“Why aren’t the Brazilian people proud of The Fifa World Cup being held in their country?”

They are angry because they don’t like the   huge amount of government $$$ spent on these games. The Brazilian government has spent over ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS on the World Cup. Many of the protesters believe this money should be going to the people of Brazil for more doctors, nurses, teachers and aid workers. The fighting between the protesters and police has been really bad. What would we do in NZ if it happened here?

Italy vs England

Throughout the week a lot of people were talking about The Fifa World Cup . Most people say that the ceremony was cool and it was. The only soccer game that I’ve watched so far was Italy playing against England. There were a lot of people in the stadium cheering on both teams and Italy won 2-1.  People are saying that there are a lot of flights going to Brazil because everyone wants to watch The Fifa World Cup live.

All About Me

Kia Ora. Hi my name is Elizabeth. I am a year seven student at Ruapotaka School in Panmure, Auckland. Right now I am 11 years old. I am three different cultures. I am Cook Island, Tongan and Samoan as well.

At school I enjoy almost everything but mostly my favourite subject to do at home and school is art and maths. I really like art because I enjoy drawing. Why I like maths is because I like to learn a lot about numbers. For maths I like  to mostly do addition.

At my house there are 12 people living there but all together I only have 9 brothers and sisters. Counting me as well there are 10 kids in my family. There are 5 boys and 5 girls. Out of my brothers and sisters I am the third youngest.

We have 2 pets. A dog and a cat. Most times they get along with each other. My dog is a girl. Her name is Enve. She is half red nose and half labrador. We’ve had Enve since June the 14 2013. Our cat is a girl as well. Her name is Easter.We named her Easter because we got her on Easter. We’ve had her for 1 year and 1 month.

My favourite sports are soccer and netball. I usually play these sports when I have spare time. My hobbies are listening to music and playing any kind of sport. My favourite food is Carl's Junior. Most times I don’t eat all of this at one time but I usually eat on special occasions.
