I really like horror movies but they also scare the crap out of me

I love horror movies but I also can't stand them cause they scare the crap out of me, so why keep watching them? Well there's a simple answer to that: We like to get excited. Horror movies are an easy way to get your heart racing when you live a fairly boring life, even if it does scare the living daylights out of you. People go for the thrill which is what horror movies are supposed to give you, a thrill. Even though most people say they love horror movies no one says it's their favourite genre or that a horror movie is their favourite. This is because films are meant to make you feel good, give you fond memories, or have some sort of messsage. Horror movies don't usually do this and therefore aren't ususally someones favourite movie/genre. Some good articles for more infor are Elle, and The daily beast.

Health assessment

What is Resilience?
What did I learn?
I learnt that resilience is something that can apply to any situation. It also means
to not accept defeat straight away and to keep on trying


Why is this important?
I think resilience is important otherwise we wouldn’t have many things we have today, such as
the light bulb, someone reaching the top of Mt Everest, pictures of space, etc.
If someone gave up everytime they failed or got tired, nothing would get done.


How could you use this in your own life?
Things such as art, learning a new song on the ukulele/guitar, maths, among other things. Whenever I
feel like I can’t do it or am fed up with it instead, I can push through and finish it and show resilience.


Evidence of my work:


Relaxing
What did I learn?
I learnt that whenever I’m stressed or just need a break I should just relax for a while


Why is this important?
Relaxing is important because we would otherwise constantly be stressed/worried.
Relaxing allows us to calm down and take a break from things


How could you use this in your own life?
Whenever I get stressed or overwhelmed I can use my relaxation skills to take a break and
just calm down


Example of me doing stuff:
writing down some of my surroundings


Mindfulness
What did I learn?
I learnt ways to ground myself and to clear my mind of any thoughts or problems I had


Why is this the important?
Mindfulness is important as it allows you to ground yourself and make you aware of your surroundings.
Among other things it also lets you acknowledge your surroundings.


How could I use this in my own life?
Every now and then I could meditate or take a walk to clear my mind whenever it becomes too much.
I can also start taking my time and acknowledge food when I'm eating, as to savor the flavor.


Proof of work:


Empathy
What did I learn?
During the empathy unit I learnt that empathy is something that can easily be put into practise and can
help build a strong connection with others.


Why is empathy important?
Being able to emphasize with others allows you to create strong relationships and gain the trust of others.
It also can help you figure out the needs of others and what help they might need/want


How could I use this in my own life?
One way I can do this is before I say something to someone, I can think about how they might react and if
there are any consequences. This way I won’t damage a relationship that I might like/enjoy having.


Proof of work:


Thought Challenges:
What did I learn?
The best way to help negative thoughts is to come with something that can challenge that thought and
turn it into a good thought.
Why is the concept of thought challenges important?
I think it’s important to challenge negative thoughts, otherwise we would constantly have just negative
thoughts in our heads. This might begin to also make us depressed and believe we are unable to do
anything.


How can I apply this to my own life?
Whenever I start to have a negative thought I can try my best to think of a thought challenger, eg: if I
start to think I’m unable to do maths I can say “But I can always improve my maths skills”.

GALAXYS ARE REALLY COOL



So for this weeks I wonder topic I'm gonna be talking about galaxys and what we know about them.

First off Google says a galaxy is a cluster of millions and billions of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravatational attraction. There are also 6 types of galaxys: Barred spiral, irregular, spiral, peculiar, elleptical, and lenticular.Image result for types of galaxies

Our galaxy is the milky way is classified as a barred sprial galaxy.

Image result for the milky way
The milky way
The milky way is not our only galaxy though, the Andromeda galaxy is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. The Andromeda galaxy is also a sprial galaxy and it is also the closet galaxy to Earth.

Back to the milky way now. The milky way is called the milky way because Romans called it "via latea" which translates to "road of milk". The Greeks called it "galaxias kyklos" which is "milky circle".




P.S - There are 1 billion trillion known stars in the observable universe which is really cool.

more english stuff i don't like yayyayayay

In english we had to write a 100 word story that had five words in it. For me it was the following words:
Diplomat
Objective
Dough
Walk

Start

Below is my story

The diplomats objective was to go on the longest walk anyone had been on. The start of it was easy but it started to become stranger the longer he walked. The first thing that made it weird was the slab of dough he found on the ground “Why is there a slab of dough?” he thought. Then there was the hole in the sidewalk that was as black as night which seemed to be sucking everything into it. Then it was the bushes that seemed to hiss at him. The more he walked, the more he wished it was over
