What should I call this blog post? No idea

I’ve no idea what to call this blog post but once you’ve read it please feel free to tell me. The last few days I’ve been working on the school newspaper and I stayed at Freda’s house for a night. we came up with the name. we can now reveal it will be called The Buzz. We’ve designed a logo and a template although I think I’m going to get the template from The Noise which is the sixth form newspaper and use that.

I haven’t really done much apart from that. I went out to Darlington as Gran wanted to get some money out of the bank and get some other stuff done. I came with her as she was looking after me today. I got a nice ice cream from Thorntons as well. Oh and yesterday we had to rush back after I went to Freda’s as I was getting m haircut and the person who does it was already there. It’s nice and short now. Ready to gel up but really ready for holidays. We’re going next Tuesday! I better start charging stuff up.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do about blogging on holiday. I can’t do it on my mobile as it costs a fortune so I might not bother although I will do one when I get back. I promise. I’ve got plenty to read on holiday because I've got lots to catch up on. Anyway I'm off now as I’m really supposed to be in bed. Night Night.

Summer holidays start here!

It's now the summer holiday and in two days it's Dad's birthday. This week I've had achievements assembly which is always good even when I don't win anything. Good entertainment. I got my timetable for next school year or at least a draft of it. We also had a leaving party for Shannon who was a member of our tutor. She's off to another school. I did managed to by accident hit Mrs Cravens head while trying to get a balloon. I did say sorry. She was fine. i've now come up with a name for the school newspaper that I'm trying to get going. I'm going to call it The Soundwave I think. My friends think it's a good name and it's similar to The Noise which is the sixth form newspaper. I did make a joke of calling it The not so noisy newspaper. A bit long I think.

There was a thing on youtube today about recording something that you do and uploading it so that a guy can make a video of what youtube users have done on that day. It kind of gave me an idea. It might be hard but I'm going to try to get a picture of something everyday in the next school year and put it on a post on my blog. I'll create a special page for it. I think my blog posts are getting shorter each time. What do you think? Anyway Happy Holidays and bye for now.

Goodbye Year 10, Hello Year 11!

It’s come to that time again when it’s the last week of the school year and everything is finishing off. The only thing you end up doing is finishing off bits of work in class that aren’t too hard or you end up doing something fun. Although this year it’s also goodbye to several members of our year and several staff. So I'd like to say goodbye to Mr. Middleton(even though he went last week) and Shannon who has been a member of our tutor group and my music tech teacher who is leaving the school after standing in for a teacher who left for a couple of month.  Other staff are just moving to other jobs in the school. I had achievements assembly today and I didn’t win anything but there’s always good entertainment and it’s good to see what our year as a whole have achieved.

The only solo performances were from Laura and Callum in our tutor group and they were really good. They always are. Going off the subject of school for a minute. I was reading the biography of Tommy Cooper today and it was mentioning a couple of his jokes. They wouldn’t have been that funny if he hadn’t done it. It’s the way he does them that makes them so funny. My favourite one said something like “Before I start my performance I’d like to say this. This”. I'm off to bed now but I’m going to try to keep you up to date on what I’m up to as normal. Keep checking back if you want to keep up to date.

A busy but good week (So far)

This week I’ve been on the ASDAN Camping trip and I’ve had my headphone port on my computer replaced. Also my iPod touch has been updated. I’ve been trying most of the day to get the pictures from the camp onto facebook. It takes ages. It was Mr Middleton's Last day yesterday and I missed his surprise but I have got some of the pictures. everyone thinks he’s a legend. He is. Those of you who did read my one post on my microblog thanks you. I won’t be posting on there regularly as I prefer to do whole blogs but when I have to do it by text it’s easier.

Next week is my last week of Year 10. It’s gone so quickly. I might have mentioned it in an earlier blog but Mr Robertson (School Headmaster for those who don’t know) has agreed to work on a school newspaper for students that aren’t in Sixth form when we go back. We’ve got achievements assembly next Wednesday. i probably won't get anything but there’s always some good performances showing the talent in our year.

I managed to lose my coat on the camping trip but we think we know where it might be. I would put some pictures on of the trip but there’s too many to choose from. Anyway I’m off for now until the next blog. I’m being called to go down stairs so I’ll blog another time. Bye

Pre ASDAN Camping trip blog

Tomorrow I go on the ASDAN camping trip and I’m keeping a micro blog. I keep a normal blog but while I’m away I would have to do it on my phone and that’s expensive and takes ages. The link to get on my micro blog is: www.robertmooney.tumblr.com . I will be back on Friday and I will have plenty of pictures to put on.

I get to go in non uniform tomorrow but I’ve got a lot of stuff to take. Although I’m going to miss Mr Middleton’s leaving Surprise. He’s leaving on Friday. I got some of the nice things from his fan group on Facebook. It’s called Mr Middleton is a legend. Mr. Middleton is actually a legend though. I've only done a very short blog today and I tried to do one last night but my blogging program on my iPod touch has stopped working and don’t worry about the micro blogging thing. I’m not going to be doing it permanently because I hate micro blogging because I normally like to write a full blog but on a camping trip I can’t. The normal blog will be back after the camping trip.

I’m also trying to get a student newspaper for the years below sixth form and Mr Robertson and lots of other people said they will definitely do it next year. it worked then. I had an interview with the head today and he was just checking up on how I was doing really. Nice to have a head like that. Anyway I'm off camping. see you in a few days (or at least blog in a few days.

Finally! No more Voovooselas

The last couple of weeks I haven’t done a blog so a lot to catch up on. I’ve been on work experience which has been different although I have to go back to lessons tomorrow. I also won a junior sports award.  I got a medal and a certificate. Dad’s just framed the certificate for me.  I also got to see part of the new school build being done and the fairtrade group are finally coming up with ideas for making this money that went missing up. I’ve come up with several posters and ideas for getting more people buying fairtrade products. We came up with the idea of putting a message on the screen in middle school which you can do on the school intranet. Although we need to have a meeting about it first.

I've also caught up with some old Kepplewray friends online and one of them got me writing a story but it’s a work in progress. It’s about a boy who does work experience at Yorkshire Post and writes for his school newspaper. He gets invited back to write for them properly but when he starts to write his first article something goes wrong. I know what goes wrong but I'm leaving you wondering at the moment. I’ve signed up to something to publish it online although I sort of didn’t have to.

I’ve got two more weeks left in year ten. I will try to keep you as up to date as possible. Oh and finally the world cup has finished. Well almost. I’m not saying that the world cup is bad. I’m just saying that finally I don’t have to hear voovooselas any more! I nearly published this to the wrong blog. Changed it in time though. So Vaarwel or Adios. It depends who wins.
