2. Milo was said to be a friend of Pythagoras. One story says the wrestler saved the philosopher's life when a roof was about to fall on him. Another story says that Milo may have married the philosopher's daughter. Like other successful athletes of ancient Greece, Milo was the subject of tales of strength and power. Among other tales, he was said to have carried a bull on his shoulders and to have burst a band about his forehead by inflating the veins of his temples.

matariki
I learn’t these 3 things:
1. Matariki is mean’t for gathering whanau and friends
2. Matariki is a time for you to remeber loved ones that have died before us
3. Matariki is a part of a cluster of stars called pleidaes
Here are 2 interesting facts:
1: tawhirimatea threw his eyes into the sky for his father
2. When he threw his eyes he saw them explode into a cluster of stars
I would like to know:
If tawhirimatea could ever see again how would he and who helped him

the Welcome back !!!
The Welcome back !!!
One day there was a women and and her children she went to the theme park. Then she went to take them home but her house was so far so she ended up going to sleep with her kids in the back seat.
A few hours later.....
she then finds her self in the river with her kids screaming for help then she realises she has to do something but there was a problem her son lucas was stuck his foot was slowly being crushed by the front seat he was going to drown and so was his sister but his mom angela couldn't help both at the same time so she grabbed lucas's sister lola and swam her out of the car on to the land but it was too late to save lucas sadly he drowned and died but his mother was so heartbroken so she looked through the bible for a solution and she found one but the problem was you are not allowed to see them only say your last goodbye and do not open the door.
she went to south india and did this task and she finally started speaking to him but he wanted to see his mother but he couldn't but she opened the door and let his spirit rome but she didn't no that until her daughter said he came back he wasn't his self now he was something different but he made them think he was the same old lucas.
A few weeks later...
everthing was great until 2 weeks ago he was killing things and he started trying to kill his family he was a monster,the death angel herself has arrived to take lucas back to the death realm he was not an
innocent child anymore actually he was no child at all he was a demon so as the death angel dragged him away he was slowly screaming and when the death angel took him to a different realm his mother died and his father did the exact same thing but this time there was no death angel so who was going to take her back none knew mostly cause they were dead and because none came at all lucas came but he was not helping he was killing
To be continued.....

paper mache boat
What you will need:
download pattern here
large cereal box
scissors
scotch tape
ruler
exacto knife
newspaper- 2 colors
wall paper paste
paint brushes
paint
skewers. dowels or twigs
string
heavy duty thread
needles – various sizes
fabric
buttons
glue
1.get the cardboard box and cut it out on the dotted line – the solid lines are for scoring - there are little triangles on one end – you can fold those back to trace the line onto your cardboard and poke your pencil through the tip of the V on the pattern to mark your cardboard.
2.Use a ruler to draw the lines as shown on the pattern. I’ve highlighted the lines to score in red. Use the BACK of your exacto knife to score the lines in red and then gently bend the boat into shape……
3.Bring the edges together and secure with lots of scotch tape – they shouldn’t overlap but just meet and last tape the front tips together.
4.Trim any excess so the back edge is smooth and now you should have a little boat shape. Cut a strip of cardboard that’s about 1 ” by 3″.
7. The notch will help the button you’re going to tie on stay in place. Tie the button as tightly as you can with your string and secure with a dab of glue. Place the boat on a large piece of paper and lay the yard in place – we’re going to make the pattern for the sail. Hold the yard in place but slide the boat out and draw a triangle shape for your sail.


I like to make a note on the pattern to remind me which side the mast goes on. Cut out your sail. embellish as desired and use a heavy duty thread to sew it to the yard.
9. Poke holes in the boat for attaching buttons for the rigging. This is a pain in the ass and you need to use something very sharp, I used a really big embroidery needle. You can use as many buttons as you like. I like to have lots of rigging options so I used 4. Once the buttons are on lay the sail on the mast and find the best spot to attach.

4.Trim any excess so the back edge is smooth and now you should have a little boat shape. Cut a strip of cardboard that’s about 1 ” by 3″.
5.Bend that strip into a little triangle shape that fits inside your boat and tape it in , just a little closer to the front (bow ) than the back (stern), this will hold your mast. You’re ready to paper mache – I recommend 2 layers using different papers – so you can see when a layer is complete. You don’t have to let the boat dry between layers but I like to. I start with the inside of the boat closing up the little triangle space – you don’t have to fill it – just close it up.
5.Notes on paper mache – I find it easiest to do the edges first and the smaller the pieces of paper the smoother and stronger the finished result. I use golden harvest wheat paste. Add your second layer of paper, let it dry completely then paint it. I used a mixture of latex and water color.
6. Now you’re ready for the mast and yard ( part that attaches to the sail) . There are a number of things you can use – dowels , skewers, twigs – today I’m using a bamboo skewer for the mast and an 1/8 inch dowel for the yard. I have painted both. Poke a little hole with your exacto knife and insert your mast ( insert the pointy end of the skewer), secure it with glue and trim the top to the desired length – this will depend on the size of your boat ( if you have made the pattern larger or smaller) – my mast is 9 inches tall and my yard is 12 inches long. Use your exacto knife to cut a little notch in your mast about an inch and 1/2 from the top.
7. The notch will help the button you’re going to tie on stay in place. Tie the button as tightly as you can with your string and secure with a dab of glue. Place the boat on a large piece of paper and lay the yard in place – we’re going to make the pattern for the sail. Hold the yard in place but slide the boat out and draw a triangle shape for your sail.

Add a length of about 4 inches to the sail where you would like it to attach to the mast and just wind the string around the button on the mast. Attach several inches of string to the bottom corners of the sail and wind those around the buttons on the boat. Tie a loop of string the the mast for hanging, secure it with glue and tie an extra piece of string around to make sure it stays there.
