The reason I picked Megatron is because he is my favourite character in all the TV shows and movies I've seen, even though he's a bad guy! In fact, my top 3 favourite characters of all time (for now) are all bad guys, Megatron is number 1, The fallen (Megatron's master) is number 2 and Shredder (from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the nickelodeon version of Shredder is my favourite.) is number 3.

Asiatic Lion Report
The Asiatic Lion
The Asiatic Lion (The Indian Lion) is a magnificent animal, though some people don’t appreciate it and hunt it even kill it. If we humans keep that up, the asiatic lion is going to end up extinct. So read this report to find out about the asiatic lion and how unique it is.
Description
The asiatic lions are 107cm in height, but they are 292cm in length including the tail. Their tails are a long golden skin and their mains (hair) grows to lengths of 60-90cm. Adult males weigh from 160-190kg, the females weigh 110-120kg. A skull of a male lions skull can go to 33-34cm and a female lions skull can go to 29-30cm. Their skins are a think darkish gold while the african lions fur is a much more gold and brown color
Threats
Threats to the asiatic lions are mostly humans. Believe it or not, years back, there were approximately a low 180 individuals, years of baby cubs being born later, asiatic lions population increased to over 411. Some asiatic lions are found outside the Gir Forest but shot and killed by humans. It’s actually ridiculous, because why harm an innocent creature for nothing, some people do it for fun. It’s not fair on the lions, and killing one lion might decrease their population by 10-20, because if the lion that you shoot is a leader of a pride. Well firstly get this, when a leader of a pride gets killed, all the cubs in that pride get killed as well, I’m not sure if humans kill them or if it’s just a lions way of life. I said before that years back there were less than 180 asiatic lions, but even years before that, asiatic lions were found all over India, there were over 10, 000, but humans couldn’t realize how magnificent they are, they lived in peace but that peace didn’t last, they were killed, shot, some got trackers planted in them so people could find their pride and kill all of them. Now only roughly 400 are left.
Habitat and What It Eats.
The asiatic lions are endemic to India (not found anywhere else), or more like the Gir Forest. The Gujarat state in India has a forest or national park area, it’s called the Gir Forest. The Gir forest in India is the only place where you will ever see an asiatic lion. I’m actually happy that they are in the Gir Forest, because they are protected. The asiatic lions are carnivores, meaning they only eat meat, so you keep one as a pet and try to make it a vegetarian, ain’t going to happen... Well maybe. So the asiatic lions eat dead meat that they can find, or eat other animals.
Life Cycle
Lionesses are ready to breed when they reach 3 years old. They give birth to 2-3 cubs. The asiatic lions start of as cute little cubs with a lite yellow fur. A cub also has dark brown eyes and whiskers only a few cm’s long. They grow to a teen, they are bigger than before and start to get a light brownish tone. Soon enough they are strong big lions.
Hunting
The lionesses do most of the hunting, while the lions do the most fighting. lionesses take all the cubs with them when the cubs are only 3 month old! (male) Lions do sleep most of the day but they are really strong and can hurt their prey easily when they actually hunt!
In conclusion, asiatic lions are a wonderful and incredible species and I would hate to see asiatic lions go extinct. I hope you have learnt to appreciate them and I thank you for taking the time to read this report.

Reflection for Optimist Yachting And Kayaking
Reflection for Optimist Yachting And Kayaking
Something I was pleased with was that I had a great time, because it makes me more excited for the next session.
I really enjoyed learning how to hold a paddle properly when kayaking because it helps the kayak go alot faster.
Something I found hard was controlling the mainsheet rope because I had to know where the boat would go and if the wind had changed directions.
Something that made me think was why did me and my buddies (Zach) yacht keep on tipping to the side and nearly capsizing because it was really freaky and we didn’t know what to do.
Something I want to get better at is sailing the optimist yacht.
(What can I do about it?)
Learn how to control the mainsheet rope.here is a GoAnimate I made. I hope you like it.

My Taj Mahal Art And Story
Here is my Taj Mahal art
If you scan this art with the "aurasma" app on I pad/I pod/I phone, you can see a video of me explaining about it.
The story;
The kings son could not wait to be king. He took over Shah Jahan’s place as emperor of India. The king was buried in the Taj Mahal right next to his wife. The queen was buried exactly in the middle of the Taj Mahal, since the king was buried next to his wife. The king is the only non-symmetrical object in the Taj Mahal.
(please tell me in the comments which you think is the best ending, the original or the alternate?) Please leave a comment :-).
The story;
The
Story Behind The Taj Mahal
(Crown Of The Queen)
The Taj Mahal, made in the 17th century (1600’s), made to be a tomb of the Indian emperors 3rd wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
In the 17th century (1600’s) there was a king (/emperor) named Shah Jahan. He had many wives but loved one the most, Mumtaz Mahal. Shah Jahan told that he would make an amazing palace for her, but before it could be done Mumtaz Mahal died.
The king still ordered that the Taj Mahal be built, but know it must be built as tomb where the queen will be buried. It took 22, 000 workers to make it in approximately 20 years. When the construction was finished the king went and rewarded the designer many treats, such as gold and a lot of his treasure. But the king watched the Taj Mahal, and knew what he had to do. He went to the designer and cut his hands so that he could never design something as good or perhaps better than the Taj Mahal.
The kings son could not wait to be king. He took over Shah Jahan’s place as emperor of India. The king was buried in the Taj Mahal right next to his wife. The queen was buried exactly in the middle of the Taj Mahal, since the king was buried next to his wife. The king is the only non-symmetrical object in the Taj Mahal.
Alternate ending.
The king told the designer after many of his treats. He told him
“tell your builders to make another Taj Mahal exactly on the other side of the original Taj Mahal, but this one will be black unlike the original one which is white. And I will be buried in my one,” said the king. But before he could his son got the king, buried him next to Mumtaz Mahal in the Taj Mahal, and the king is the only non-symmetrical object in the Taj Mahal, and the king’s son became king.

Basic Facts Math Test Scores
These are my scores on each day of my classes basic fact math test, I put them on a bar graph using "Google Drive, Spreadsheet". the highest score to get is 25/25. To get our percentages, we must times the number of questions (25) by what equals 100, for example, 25x4=100, so if I got 24 I would times it by 4 to get my percentage, so 24x4=96, so my percentage is 96%, but if there were only 20 questions I would times my scores by 5 to get my percentages because 20x5=100. so that's how we get our percentages, makes sense right?
My range was: (25-23=) 2
My range was (%): (100%-92%=) 8
My mean was: 24
My mean was (%): 96
My median was: 23-25
My median was (%): 96-100, I had 2 answers (but in a way I only had 1 answer) because their are only 10 scores, and the 2 middle numbers in 10 are 5 and 6.
My total was: 240
My total was (%): 960
In a test, to get a range you must take the highest score and takeaway the lowest score. To get a mean you must add all the scores together and divide them by the amount of people who did the test. And to get the median, well the median is the same as the middle, so find the middle number or percentage to get the median
I got 25/25 for 3 days, I might not have been the first one to get 25/25 (I was the second) but I still got the highest score on day 1 (24/25) and I would of gotten 25/25 on the first day but forgot to do one question but it doesn't really matter and I was still proud of myself for all my scores, even the 23's.
What I Thought Of The Tests
I thought the tests were really fun and I would love to do more of these tests, I enjoyed the hard questions and solving them, I also liked working out the class means/medians/ranges.

Letter to Ken Catran
Dear Ken Catran,
Hi, I’m Inderpreet a student in a class (Room 16 Parkvale School, Hastings New Zealand) that previously read your awesome book “Dead Harry”. The book was great and here’s what I thought of it.
I just thought the book was so amazing, I just wanted to keep reading the story but we only got to read one chapter per day. I loved the book and it was so cool I listened to basically every work. There were some really incredible and emotional moments in the book. The whole class thought your book was incredible, so we made some trailers (my one is the first one), our teacher
(Mr. Moriarty) put them on the “Tree Of PRIDE” (our blog) and he put a poll on which “Dead Harry” trailer is the best, vote if you want. Here is the link.
My favourite character was probably Sam... Maybe Harry... But I liked Sam as a character because he was quite funny, same with Harry. They were pretty awesome, and I might be the first one to say that Elias Milton was actually a cool dude. All the characters were great but Sam was my favourite.
My favourite part in the book was the end. You described every moment so well and I thought the end was so cool. How Sam and Anna saw a black figure at the back of the library holding a gun. and saw that it was Mrs. Anson! It got so intense just a few moments later when Sam and Anna got locked in the cupboard to get burned alive, I knew they were going to survive but just like everybody, I didn’t know how. You are a great writer Ken Catran, amazing ideas, you painted a picture in my mind at every moment.
In conclusion, you wrote an awesome book, and I was amazed by the story. It was great enough to make several trailers and I hope you make a sequel.
Yours Sincerely,
Inderpreet.
Here is my groups trailer. I hope you like and vote up on the Tree Of PRIDE, the poll closes on the 25th of August.

Writing Trial "An Empty Room"
I was selected as one of the writers for a writing trial in my school, Here is one of my stories. I hope you like it and please comment :-).
Dear Mr. Principal
I hear there is an empty room in the school that's not being used at all. So here's some idea's to help you. Because my opinion is the room should be spectacular, because this school needs it. Right now, there is not much great stuff about the school, and it might be a tourist attraction after school if you put anything awesome in there. If it's a room where you can have fun, other students would want to join our school.
Firstly, having something fun or cool in the room would be noticed by other school's, and some students might come from other school's and join ours because of what ever is going to be in that room. I think this is a pretty good idea because if more kids join our school, parents would think there is something special about this school and those parents would want to put their kids in the school so the school's population would get even bigger! Think of the possibilities, if the school gets that much kids, we might get an award for "most kids in a school,".
Secondly, if you don't like that idea, how about putting something amazing. Anything amazing would be a good tourist attraction, our school will be noticed around the globe. I believe this is a great idea because our school will be so famous around the globe. Anyone from anywhere would come to see our school. Can you just imagine that, and you will be responsible for the whole thing (I am saying that in a good way). Everyone will drive past or walk past, even run past you and say "Hey you are that guy who owns that cool school,".
Lastly, How about putting both idea's into one idea. Anything fun AND amazing is an awesome idea in my opinion. Having tourist AND more kids from anywhere will be a huge success for the school. It will also bring more money so we can have fun stuff like more camps, maybe sossage sizzles, TWO fun runs in a year, 1 book fair every year. This school will be able to pull of so many possible things.
In conclusion, one room can be the key to the school's success. We could pull of 2 fun runs in a year, more sossage sizzles, 1 book fair each year, and even more camps. So please listen to what I have just said. I know you will make the right decision because you made the right decision not to eliminate morning interval, and if I was right about morning interval, then I'm right about this.

Thunder Skull Episode 6: The Dominator
You know something? Everyday it’s pretty much the same thing, some crazy scientist who wants to take over the world with electric thunder strikes, a super advanced alien invasion, you’re own classmates trying to take over your superhero job. But this time, this time is just beyond the weirdo meter. A robotic genius........ scorpion? Man, since when did me & my allies become extras in Transformers?
______________________________________________________________________________
“Inderpreet, just come and play WWE 13 already” my brother told me.
“NAH!” I replied.
“OH COME ON! You've seen Transformers 2 like 30 something times already” my brother said.
“THAT IS NOT TRUE...................................... 40 something actually..................” I replied.
“Whatever man, you're lost” my brother replied.
Suddenly I rushed into the bathroom. Locked the door and yelled
“I’M GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER not” and opened the secret door to my superhero base.
“AGENT MARCUS, QUICK GET THE TEAM, THERE’S ANOTHER ALIEN INVASION OUTSIDE!” I yell.
“WHAT!” Agent Marcus screamed.
“HA, just kidding, APRIL FOOLS! HAHAHA, even though it’s like the middle of August but still EARLY APRIL FOOLS HAHAHAHA!” I replied.
“That’s unfair, besides, there’s some robotic scorpion outside, FOR REAL!” Agent Marcus said.
“WHATEVER MAN, you can’t prank the pranker” I replied.
“He’s not kidding” Crighwolf said as he walked into the room with the rest of our team.
“Find then, I’ll go take care of it.” I said. At that point I leaved the underground base. I entered the outside world and found out that Agent Marcus and Crighwolf weren't kidding.
“UM.......... *cough cough*........... Scorponok(a Decepticon from TransFormers... 2...)?”
“THUNDER SKULL. WHERE IS THUNDER SKULL!” The angry “Scorponok” dude said.
“Well looks like he’s not after us, peace out Inderpreet” said Agent Marcus.
“MEH, I can take him. HeYAAAAAAAAAAA!” I yell. *PUNCH* “I see stars” I mutter while I fall unconsciously.
“SHOW OFF,” the Scorponok dude said.
5 seconds LATER!
“Thunder Skull....................... Are you alive” Crighwolf asked.
2 seconds LATER!
“Still nothing” Master Tevayunda moaned.
12 seconds LATER!
“Alright he’s dead, let’s go play video games” Master Zebhdiyah suggested.
“I AM DOWN WITH THAT” Elijahman yelled.
Half hour LATER!
“I hate you guys” I said as I walked in and then out of my superhero base.
“WHAT?” Ellis ca-dabra asked.
“I think I just saw Thunder Skull?” Crighwolf said
“So you are alive.” Said Master Zebhdiyah. I stopped and turned.
“Yes, that or I’m a ghost that’s gonna haunt your dreams for the rest of your life.” I replied. *PUNCH* “OW, why did you PUNCH ME!” I yelled.
“Just seeing if you were a ghost...... Which your not........” Master Zebhdiyah said.
“But you’re a Jedi, don’t you have like powers that can tell you if I’m a ghost or something.....” I said. Zebhdiyah just shrugged his shoulders.
“Zeb can you get me a soda?” I ask.
“WHAT, NO” Zebhdiyah replied.
“Find, then can you at least say something?” I ask.
“find, SOMETHING” Zebhdiyah and I said at the same time.
“JINKS! HA, now you have to get me a soda” I said. *PUNCH* “Seriously again?” I said.
“Whatever then, give me two dollars.” Zebhdiyah asked.
“Find.” Zebhdiyah said. I pat myself around my body.
“Hey wait a minute, OH MAN, I left my dignity back in Auckland city.
Meanwhile
“ANY MOMENT NOW...................” Scorponok looking dude said. BANG!
“YO, give me my dignity back, I already looked in Auckland.............. And, yeah.” I said.
“HAVE YO CHECKED YOUR BUTT?” The Scorponok guy said.
“Huh? What? OH, no not yet.....” I replied.
“THEN HOW ABOUT I KICK IT INSIDE OUT SO YOU CAN SEE? LITERALLY!” He replied.
“That does not sound good” *KICK* I tried to say as the Scorponok person kicked me in the face. I fell unconscious.
“YES, AT LAST, YOU’RE MINE, THUNDER SKULL, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MUAHAHAHAHA!
TO BE CONTINUED!

Dragon Story
Dragon Story
The small dragon landed on my finger tips. It was a pencil sized dragon resting on my fingers, like a egg sitting in it’s nest. It started to fly and release dangerous flames around my room. The dragon had green and reptilian skin and traditional dragon wings with sharp points on the end. Suddenly, my dragon breathed huge flames and set the bathroom on fire!
I went up to my dragon and smacked him-bad idea! Because then he set my clothes on fire! But then, then my dragon did something amazing. Amazing? No, no, no............ NO! it did something incredible. It breathed out fire again but this time, the fire turned into ice. Well then, fight fire with fire.......... OK ice fire.
I patted my dragon but then my brother came in. he smacked me on the head and called me an idiot-bad idea!
