The best book I have read this term is.......THE HEIR!

Ne hao!
Goede dag, Hallo!
and Aloha to you all!

HEY! I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS BLOG POST AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED! SO WE HAVE TO BASICALLY REVIEW ON A BOOK THAT WE'VE REALLY ENJOYED! I'VE READ SO MANY THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH Y'ALL BUT SADLY :( THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE........

So, one book that I've ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED TO PIECES is........ THE HEIR! This is actually the fourth book in the series (sorry!) but it's basically like all the other books except.... yea. OK LETS GET STARTED!

SO FOR ALL those BACHELOR fans out there (like me!) you will LOVE this book. The first book in the series is called the selections. In the selections, 34 girls get chosen to compete to win the heart of a prince (aww!). In this book the prince's daughter must go through the selections. She's the first lady to ever do the selections. Just think of this...... The books basically likeThe bachelorette. 

The girl in this book is called Eadyln (such a weird name..... who knows why they called her that!) and shes the oldest of four. Shes the next ruler of her country and lives in TOTAL luxury! Now, Eadlyn does NOT want to do the selections and she complains to her father BUT SHE ENDS UP DOING IT! There are 34 men instead of woman and she pratically think all of them are...ummm......kinda rude to her. ALTHOUGH, there are SOME rather dashing men that she likes. I wont spoil it for you guys for if you actually are going to read this.

Eadlyn is quite.....hmmm lets see, umm......STUBBORN like her mother so she isn't easy to get. She wants everything to be her way and perfect. Eadlyn is sooooo pretty! She has green eyes and dark brown hair and she wears tiaras and dresses EVERY DAY! HOW LUCKY!? Oh I forgot to mention but all the men competeing HAVE TO WEAR TUXEDOS EVERY DAY and they get their OWN rooms! This is a picture of the model on the front book cover and shes taking A SELFIE!

The end, ends with a cliffhanger and yea. It was released as a book THIS YEAR! And it's by the one and only KIERA KASS who is an aboslutely talented author. Right now she is working on the 5th book in the series and I cannot wait till it comes out!

What I really liked about this book is that all the characters in it have their own different personalities. Basically NONE of them are the same which is AWESOME!!!!!! I also like how it's set in a castle and how its like the bachelor (YAY!). I would probably recommend this book to anyone that LOVES a romantic sort of book. But DONT WORRY, its not THAT romantic so boys can read it too! I think that maybe children under 10 should not read it because they may not really get the book.    
So the quote I found from the book is: "Im not sure if fate of destiny is real. But I can tell you that sometimes the very thing you've been hoping for will walk throught the door, determined to fend you off. And still, somehow you will find that you are enough.

ITS NOW TIME FOR.......My flash back moment  
 Wow SO MANY memories flooded into my brain when I thought of this. But sadly I can only tell one of them so here it goes! A few months ago dad and I went to the library together to get some books! ANYWAY......we were just walking until DAD STARTED SINGING IN THE QUIET LIBRARY! I was so embarresed and I kept on saying to him in greek, "dad be quiet!" still no answer, "DAD BE QUIET!" But he just sang even louder and there were LOTS OF ANGRY FACES GIVING US THE DEATH GLARE. Dad just smiled to himself and stopped trying to annoy me. That day was just ....GRRRRR...  embarrassing. That's why I now go with my mum! The only thing bad about going with her is that she doesn't know how the library "do it yourself moniters" work and so shes like "Oh sweetie? Can you come over here for a second to show me how this works?" But what can I say! They're my parents and I love them for that!
 
Sorry for the LONG POST but I love the heir! If you want any book suggestions just come to me and I'' give you a list if you like! Thanks for reading and remember, Don't be afraid to comment! Bye! 

P.S The pictures that are of the girl in the book, is Eadlyn. Go onto youtube to search the book trailer and the BTS of the making of the book cover!

GALAPAGOS/EVOLUTION

Bonjour!
GruB gott!
AND WELCOME BACK TO THE WEEKLY KAT (Haha that rhymes!) HI Y'ALL , TODAY I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS AND EVOLUTION! READ ON TO FIND ABOUT SOME COOL STUFF ABOUT THIS..... (AND PLEASE don't be afraid to comment because I really like hearing from you guys!)

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another post of THE WEEKLY KAT and just a heads up but this is NOT going to be a LONG, BORING and NOT INTERESTING POST so please read on....

I will now share with you some things i have learnt about The Galapagos Islands and Evolution below........

THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

• Over 620 miles from North America there lays an archipelago called the Galapagos islands.
• The islands used to be a bunch of volcanoes the erupted over 4 million years ago to create 13 (and more) STUNNING ISLANDS that tourists can visit anytime, any place.
• They were named after the giant tortoises that roam the islands.
• In the 17th, 18th and 19th century, the Galapagos tortoises were hunted down for meat and NEARLY BECAME EXTINCT!
• Most animals arrived to Galapagos but either swimming, flying or floating on vegetation rafts.
• The animals had to adapt A LOT to their environment
• The animals also evolved in many different ways to be able to adapt.
• Now there is SO MUCH MORE I could add to this but I don't want to go on an on and on (you get the point)

 EVOLUTION!

OK I WAS VERY CONFUSED WITH THIS TOPIC SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I GET ANY OF THESE FACTS WRONG BECAUSE THIS WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HARD FOR ME TO TAKE IN. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

• Evolution took place on earth 3.6 billion years ago.
• We started of as a gollum like creature and slowly made our way to become an ape like thing then became cave men (I think?) and I guess we then became humans.
• Evolution is VERY difficult and is NOT an easy thing to learn!
•  We became smarter through out the years, learning to use and build things easily
•  Our kind bred with other people (I DON'T KNOW!) and we just I guess started changing in ways......
•  Evolution is the gradual development of something

Some other things that I would like to learn this term that are related to this topic are maybe the worlds evolution or possibly more to do with human evolution and how it really began. Or maybe we could look further into the big bang and universe.....

I do have A FEW ideas about what we could do next term for our big social studies topic. I though maybe we could study either Ancient Rome or the Medeval times. But I've actaully taken a big interest into WW2 and I'm going to read Ann Frank's diary soon because WW2 is actually really fascinating to me. I would say we should do Ancient Greece but the thing is...... I've kinda learnt a bit about it from my Greek school teacher so i guess It wouldn't be much fun for me....

ITS NOW TIME FOR MY FLASH BACK MOMENT!
OK, remember how last week I introduced this to my blog? If not, scroll down to last weeks post and read the end bit for some more information about what this CRAZY THING SHES DOING IS! So what I thought about when I was writing this post was when I went on holiday to Rotorua with lots of my cousins. Rotorua was REALLY STINKY! I remember coming out of the pool and going to go get an ice cream with them. Dad was really nice and let me get a DOUBLE SCOOP! Just as I took my first lick, THE ICE CREAM FELL ON THE GROUND :( AND THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME TURNED AROUND AND POINTED AT MY FALLEN CONE AND WENT "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO" But the woman at the counter was so nice that she gave me anothe one FOR FREE! The reason I thought of this is because, Rotorua has hot pools which are sort of like volcanos and the Galapagos islands were made by volcanos so..... BOOM DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID!?

Thanks for reading and remember DON'T BE AFRAID TO COMMENT! AND please tell me your flash back moment while reading this? I really like hearing from you guys so no matter who you are DON'T BE AFRAID i wont bite!

 

MY RESPONSIBILITIES

Guten tag!
Ohaio Gazamos!
Kia ora!

γεια σας! 

OK, so every post I do I'm gonna try say a greeting from another language! And I'm announcing something else I'm doing soon later if you scroll down.....  

Hey everyone I'm back, and as you can tell from the title ^ I will be talking about the responsibilities I am currently doing this year! I am a librarian, enviro leader and a road patroller! I've had a lot of fun doing these jobs and I will share more with you all now.........


LIBRARY!     
OK! So this is my first time doing library and it is really cool and also really fun! I have really enjoyed working with penny and my classmates! I've helped students in this role by telling them where the series of certain books are. I remember a few weeks ago, Sharon's little sister came up to me and asked really cutely, "Katerina, do you know where the spider wick series are?" SHE WAS SO ADORABLE!!! And so I tried to find them abut they were NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! dun.. dun.. dun.... What I have learnt about in this role is how to issue/return books and how to shelve them away! I also learnt one valuable lesson...... TIDY THE LIBRARY..... Whenever the bell rings to go back to class, the library is a MESS and I'm always the one who has to clean up because my fellow librarians that help me leave early to go play..... I LOVE doing this job and I wouldn't change anything about it! When I'm older I want to be a librarian for a while as a starter job so this is preparing me for it!


ENVIRO
I actually only found out about a week go that I was an enviro leader! I was OVER THE MOON when I found out about this because I've been chasing after this job for a while now since room 8 when Anthony bet me!!!! I haven't done anything yet for Enviro but I'm really looking forward to taking on this responsibility and yea! I think that being an enviro leader will be a good way to tell children not to litter and to care for the environment.

ROAD PATROL

I've been doing this role for a VERY long time now. I have been doing road patrol on FRIDAY SINCE LAST YEAR! I would really like a break with this job but sometimes you've just got to do what's right I guess. I have enjoyed doing this job because I think that it's so important to not have kids just roaming on the street without any guidance. I think that it helps kids because of their safety. OK that makes no sense what so ever does it? SORRY! If I were to change ANYTHING maybe it might be..... TO CHANGE THE ROSTER SO SOME PEOPLE CAN MAYBE HAVE A BREAK MORE FREQUENTLY (hint hint). Hehe sorry about that but I guess that's my theory!

Just a little thing to remind every STAY SAFE AND DO NOT JAY WALK BECAUSE ITS VERY BAD AND I USED TO DO IT WHEN I WAS YOUNG (and had no knowledge) SO STAY SAFE! 

I might introduce this thing to my blog called a 
"flash back memorywhen I tell you guys something that happened to me related to a post that I have written. Comment if you think if its a good or bad idea?

Flash back memory....
So you know how I mentioned library back up in my post? Well once I went to a book store (like a library) when I was about 4 years old. I remember mum was buying something for Stace and I got so caught up in looking at this book that I LOST MY MUM! I cried and started looking EVERYWHERE for her until a lady that worked there calmed me down and looked for her with me. It turns out that my mum was at the BACK of the store where i DIDN'T LOOK! But... I really don't regret the day because...... I GOT A RAINBOW LOLLIPOP FOR BEING SUCH A BRAVE GIRL FROM THE LADY! HORAY!!

Well that was my Flashback moment i thought of while writing this so.... yay!
Thanks for reading and please comment to tell me about YOUR flashback moment you had while reading this!!!

$GET WISE$ <>ASB<>

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag........

OH, HEY EVERYONE! YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THAT SONG FROM SOMEWHERE..... I KINDA THOUGHT IT WOULD FIT INTO THIS ASB THEME THING! SO THIS MAN CAME IN TO TALK TO US ABOUT SAVING OUR MONEY AND COOL DIFFERENT JOBS AND WAYS OF HOW TO MAKE IT...... READ ON IF YOU WANT TO HEAR SOME MORE....

I actually feel really bad now that I don't remember who this guy was called so lets just call him hmmm... "THE GUY" that sounds pretty mysterious doesn't it! "THE GUY" was absolutely HILARIOUS and talk about all this money stuff in a very smart, yet funny way. How does he do it! (sigh)

I thought the lesson was defiantly worth my time and its taught me some valuable key points about money in life. Some of the main key points about money is that:

• You have to earn it.
• Money comes with a price.
• You have to work for it.
• Its very valuable.
• Don't go spending it on useless, unwanted junk.

 Some financial goals are to basically save up for a house, car and to get a good job that's actually worth my time and is going to make me happy. I don't know about all of you, but I really want to be a doctor. Mainly this is because when I was younger and was sitting on a couch at my grandparents house, my grandma sat down and told me that when I grow up she wants me to become a doctor so I can heal her. It was actually quite sad and depressing at the time but I was just a young kid then so I didn't know any better. WOW I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED ABOUT THAT!

SORRY! I'm off topic again (wow I'm really good at doing that!). ANYWAY..... I think that I manage my money pretty well but "apparently" I don't according to "THE GUY" because if you squeeze your hands together in a rock sort of pose thingy (SORRY ITS REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN) and I think if your left thumb is over your right thumb it means that your not going to manage your money well. How sad it that!? APRIL FOOLS! Wait, its not even April. Good one Kat, haha very funny.... not...... What I said before about the thumb thing isn't actually true. "THE GUY" did the thumb thing with us and I actually believed what he meant! I'M SO GULLIBLE!

What I could do to improve my money managing in the future is to store it all in a bank and save and not buy junk that I don't need. That's what my mum always says to me in a shop. When I was younger and saw something I like a toy I would literally go down on my knees and plead her to get it. She would just say "NO THAT IS JUNK AND IS WORTHLESS!" then I would cry and walk really slow so she would have to wait for me and get really angry. I was such a mean kid back then to my mum.... I DIDN'T EVEN BUY HER A MOTHERS DAY GIFT! All I did for mothers day was bring Kitty up to her room with a white rose and said in my kitty voice "Will you accept this rose?" 

Poor mum had to do all the washing and dishes on mothers day and clean up after my science fair stuff. Its her birthday on Sunday and I haven't even made a card or gotten her anything. But mum does want this perfume and she asked dad and he was like "GO BUY IT YOURSELF" which was quite mean. I guess I don't exactly have the perfect family but they're nice <> <> <> <> haha!

Bye for now and please comment below and tell me what you did for mothers day! Oh and did any of you watch the "after the rose ceremony" on the bachelor?
P.S SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!
