Chewing gum is really nice; there are lots of different flavours and brands you can get. So I'm going to talk to you about chewing gum.
Chewing gum first came out in 1848 in Greece. The only colour they could make it out of was purple because it was the only food colouring they had.
Some of the brands are 5 gum (my favourite), Extra, Xylitol, Eclipse, Doublemint, Mentos, ,Juicy Fruit, P.K. and lots more.
Some of the flavours of 5 gum are Spearmint (electro), Peppermint (Cobalt), Tropical (pulse) and Watermelon (Tempest).
Some of the flavours of Extra are Tropical, Spearmint, Peppermint, Blueberry, Banana Berry and Strawberry.
Eclipse packs come in a pack of 10 small pellets. It costs $1. Extra packs come in a pack of 14 long thick pieces. It costs $1.90. 5 gum packs come in a pack of 12 very long very wide thin pieces. It costs $2.30.
I hope you buy chewing gum now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIFA 10 (playstation)
FIFA 10 is a really awesome PlayStation game! You can also play it on wii, Xbox 360, computer and Nintendo DS. You can be in 30 different leagues and theres over 100 teams. I usually play as Barcelona because they have got heaps of good players and they are the best team in the world.
You can also choose what team you verse.
The controls are x pass, circle shoot, triangle through ball, square slide tackle and long pass. You use the left analog stick to control your players and the right analog stick to do fancy tricks like a step over, a rainbow flick etc. If you hold down R1 you sprint. If at the end of the game you draw with the opposing team you go onto extra time. If you draw in extra time you go to penalty shoot outs. Another thing you can do is make your own team and your own players. You can also choose the difficulty, you can choose easy, amateur, professional and world class.

Four Square
Some people in our class play four square at lunch time and at morning tea. It's a great game to play and it's really fun.
Now I'm going to tell you the rules of the game and how to play.
First whoever gets the ball out from the classroom gets to be in king (the best square). Next, whoever gets outside second gets to be in Queen (the second best square) then the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth squares, and if more people come they wait in line.
The real rules of playing four square is that you only have four squares but we play with a three by three square; the one in the middle is king and sometimes if there are heaps of people we play twelve square in a four by three square.
Whoever is in king starts the serve. They bounce it on the ground first and then pass it to someone else in any of the other squares. When you serve if it lands on a line or out of the other squares it's an unfair serve and then the king is automatically out. The other ways to have an unfair serve is if you hit it too hard or if you hit the ball higher than someone's shoulder you will be out. That occurs in all circumstances, even when players that aren't king do it.
There is also this move that I like; it's called a bus stop. It's when someone else passes it to you but it doesn't touch the ground first; you can hit it it on a volley and down into your own square and pass it it again. You can also get out if it bounces first in your square and then you hit it in your own square. There are also poaches. A poach is when it bounces in someone else's square and then you hit it. You will then be out.
That is how you play four square.

My Rubber Band Car
The Totara syndicate are making rubber band power cars. The only things we can use are: unlimited amounts of cardboard, one rubber band to power the car, axles (skewers) and a piece of straw.
At the start me and Albie started to make a rubber band car but the wheels that we made out of cardboard were a bit wonky so it wouldn't work! So then we took off the wheels and started to make a car with Rohan O. But for some reason Rohan O. broke the car, took off the wheels and then ditched us!!!!!!! So then me and Albie started to make another car.
The next day I found a piece of cardboard with one wheel on the front so we went over to look for some other wheels to put on but then Flynn came along and got the hot glue gun and glued his base to our base and now our car is an awesome 3 wheeler. It only goes about 10cm.
