I wish I had this telescope in my backyard at home!

Watch Out Phone Thieves

300,000 mobile phones are stolen every year in Britain. A new feature known as the ‘kill switch’ is being added to Google and Microsoft Window phones. When peoples’ phones have been stolen the owner sends a signal to their phone which makes it stop working. Apple and Samsung have a similar feature on their devices.

However thieves may be able to still use these phones. The kill switch only works when the phone is on so the thieves might kill the kill switch when it is off.

Dog On A Log

On Saturday there was a dog on a log. In the water.

The dog was stuck on the log for three days. He was a black and white dog. People said the dog belonged to a fishermen and he might be wondering where his pet is. The Navy rescued the dog and they took him to Great Barrier Island police station.

(In fact, a fisherman knew where his dog was and was going to pick him up on the way back… But the navy ‘rescued’ the dog first.)

An Awesome Car Wash

On Saturday there was a huge car wash at Pukekohe Intermediate to fundraise for a kid’s school trip to Rarotonga. A man took photos of my mum and her friend holding up signs for people to come get their cars cleaned.There were four stations where the cars would get washed. Lots of people came to help and we nearly washed eighty cars or more.
