Yesterday while my family and me were watching the documentary on hippopotamus at Nat Geo Wild which is on channel 413 on Starhub and that is why I am writing this post. These animals – Hippos are actually very aggressive as they kill at least a hundred people every day. Did you know that the scientific name  for a hippopotamus is called a Hippopotamidae. Did you know that the hippopotamus is actually a mammal and is a herbivore the weight is from 2000 to 4000 kg.

Hippopotamuses are large mammals, with short, stumpy legs, and barrel-shaped bodies. They have large heads, with broad mouths, and nostrils placed at the top of their snouts. Like pigs, they have four toes, but unlike pigs, all of the toes are used in walking.

Hippopotamuses are stout, naked-skinned, and amphibious members (and the only living members) of the family.  Do you know that their closest living relatives are the whales and dolphins. The Hippopotamus have three chambered stomachs like the camel and are classified under the group Pseudormiant(  pseudoruminants have three-chambered stomachs while ruminants have four chambers.)

Did you even know the name hippopotamus came from the Ancient Greek ‘River Horse’ and a baby hippo already weights 45 pounds.

There are actually many hippos an I am going to name you some!

• Pygmy  Hippos
• African Hippos
• The Common Hippos
• Indian  Hippos

These are all the hippos I know !

Last week on Friday, the 4 August 2017 to Saturday, 5 August 2017 was my Primary 4 camp. During the camp my classmates and me were separated into groups with other classes. My group had three people who are from my class. My group was also sixteen people big.

The activities in the camp were :

• Abseiling
• Dragon Boating
• Campfires
• Team Building Games
• Low Ropes

These were the activities there was at the camp.

Abseiling, this activity is about making you trust the equipment. The equipment is the safety rope, the helmet and the safety harness. there are four holes  which are the : leg holes, the waist hole and the belly button hole, These are the holes which will secure your body from falling at a rapid speed.

Dragon Boating is a water activity where you get on a large canoe where it fits over 10 people. We were brought to the kallang water sports area to do it. I think the boat is made out of metal or wood. The goal here is teamwork because if every one rowed at a different pace the boat might tip over. While we were Dragon boating, we learned how to stop, stop the boat to tip over, move forward and backwards.

Low Ropes, is a course where you must trust the group mates. In low ropes you must walk on the ropes and try not to fall down. The course was formed by the strong ropes and the poles in the school. After this we had an amazing lunch.

After we came back from Dragon Boating we played some team-building activities and then had some delicious dinner and then started the campfire by letting our vice-principle to light up the camp fire.  During the camp fire we sang songs and then did some performances and even a magic show.

Good morning everyone. today I am going to write about the Fingerboard that I got a few months ago

The Fingerboard is from aliexpress.com. The one which I got ,came with

• 7 nuts
• 9 screws
•  4 bearing wheels
• 2 super silver trucks (29)
• 2 washer
• 4 bushings
• A deck
• 1 Tool
• And 1 piece of foam tape uncut

These are all the items that came in the box. The hard part was when we needed to fix the board up like a skateboard. Since it came from China it took 2 weeks to reach Singapore.

To assemble it up we just had to look at the back or just do it our selves. Since I have watched many unboxing/setup videos on youtube! I know how to set it up. while my and my brother was set-ing up the trucks by keeping the wheels and the base plates and the trucks together. I did one truck while my brother did the other one after we set up the trucks we asked our father to use the screws to put the truck on the fingerboards.after we kept the trucks on we finally let my brother put on the rip tape on! Luckily we did scissors paper stone and I won so that means I got the fingerboard

For the review I would say it is excellent. The holes for the trucks are made properly the wheels role very smoothly, The trucks fell very nice for grinds. The pricing is cheap and it is reliable for starter fingerboarders.  It costs only $2-$3 The rip tape is very foamy, spongey and a little bit sticky. once you play with it for 1 to 2 months the wheels will start to roll slower. but still is a very good fingerboard. I hope you can find yourself one too !

Here is a video if the article is to long!

China fb review

Hello my fellow readers today I am going to write about what are fingerboards. Fingerboards are basically miniature skateboards. They come in many different shapes and sizes like the penny boards, cruiser boards and the normal shape. There are many brands like Aloanswood fingerboards, Blackriver, flatface and much more. Did you know that fingerboards can also be made in to fidget spinners.

The decks that wanted are too expensive and they are from flatface and berlinwood. These are one of the worlds best brand and they are handmade. The deck that I have is from Aloanswood. What can we do with fingerboards ? Well fingerboards are just like skateboards. They make wood and Iron to make most of the wooden fingerboard obstacles.

There are also fingerboard parks that can be bought online or homemade. Fingerboard parks are when fingerboards obstacles are placed in one position for the whole time until they break.

Trucks and wheel to make a fingerboard work you will need some trucks and wheels for wooden fingerboard which I currently use has 32 millimeters trucks. There are a few brands of trucks so I will tell you them

• Blackriver
• Dyanamic
• flatface
• bollie
• Ytrucks

That is all I know about fingeboard trucks and wheels.

Last but not least you will need rip tape to help the fingerboard grip to your fingers. There are two types of rip tapes which are The sand paper ones and the Foam ones I would prefer foam rip tape as it is very soft and nice. The cheapest website to get fingerboards from is Brokenknucklefingerboards.com

That is all I know about fingerboards. Thank you for reading This post

One Sunday morning, my parents told me that we are going to universal studios. Once I heard this exciting news I jumped out of my bed and quickly brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and packed my bag. Once I was ready I ran down to eat my food and get into the car. Since it was a distance from my house and Sentosa is about half to one hour.

When we reached Sentosa after parking we went on the elevator and reached Universal Studios. Since I had a six month pass and let my cousin brother go last time for  the first trip he got unlimited pop corn for one day. Luckily my brother also got a six month pass so we got free pop corn. Did you know that if you get a six month pass you could get free pop corn and a key chain?

The first and second ride we went was the human and cylone. both the rides went very fast and ended in less than 3 minutes. These rides which I went to turned upside down, dropped and had sudden acceleration. The next ride I went to was the TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle. This battle is about a transformers which saved the people in the rides life. Since I was sitting in the back so the bullet hit my face.( The bullet is a 3D one ;] ) The  next section I went to is the Arabic/Egyptian place. in there we went to the 4D ride. This ride included fire, dropping and sudden acceleration. The next ride we went was the rapid adventure which was a bit scary but a wet ride. This ride got my dad soaked and includes water After that ride we went for lunch and then we went for  the Madagascar ride which was the only ride that my sister could go to.

The End

Hello my fellow readers, I am Mustansir Topiwalla and today I am going to write bout the pair of shoe that I wanted and the pair of shoes that I got from Queen’s Way Singapore.

One Sunday morning when the sky was as blue as a sea and when the clouds were as white as a daisy’s petal, when I woke up, I was on top of the world as I was told by my parents that I will get new shoes because all my shoes were very tight. When we left it took us about half to one hour to get there and When we reached Queen’s Way we went in the lift and went to the first floor to check the shoes.

There were many brands of shoes like the Nike, Adidas and puma shoes. From all the brands I got an Adidas pair of shoes. When we checked the shop where I got my previous shoes from did not have the shoes that I liked. The next shop that we went to had mostly soccer stuff and the last shop we went was the perfect shop as it had the shoes that I liked

Let me start with the shoes that I got. The shoes is made for Football/Soccer and was the shoes that had Lionel Messi’s logo. The colors are blue with purple shading for the top and orange for the sole. The shoes that I wanted was The same things except that it had studs.

The reason why I like soccer shoes to play soccer is because it had the studs to help the shoes grip to the grass pitch

Thank you for reading this blog post and have a very nice holiday!

Hello fellow readers today I am going to write about my JSA trials.

 JSA is a junior sports academy. So Here is the technique for the JSA trials, the first run is when I run as slow as I want. The second and third run is when I will be tested. During the JSA trials I had to do the 5 meter to 50 meters sprint run, The Jump test, the balance test, my height by standing and sitting and last but not least wall toss. so let me start of with the

• Venue : Singapore Sports Hub (OCBC Arena Hall 1) 5 Stadium Drive
• Time : 11.00am -1pm (Registration starts at 10.30am)
• Date : Saturday, 4 March

So these are the timings, Date and venue.

First, the 5 to 50 meter sprint. The  to 50 meter sprint is just testing how fast I can run like 6 sec for 5 meter and 12 sec for 50 meter run. this tests how fast I can run. But sadly I can’t run that fast with weight like my school bag.

Next is the Jump test to the balance test, the jump test will tell how far you can touch something when you jump or how low or high you can jump. the balance test will tell how much you are balanced on the weak leg by pushing something away from you.

Last but not least, My height and wall toss, my height taking was for 3 minutes because I just had to stand and sit. lastly wall toss the wall  toss was for 1 minute and 30 seconds because each round was f0r 30 sec.

 I wish I get selected thank you
