Good sportsmanship

Hey guys,
Today it was my school sports day and it got me thinking about  good sportsmanship..If you don't know what good sportsmanship is, it's treating the people you play with or against, as you'd like to be treated yourself. It's also showing respect for the coaches and all officials involved Anyway I'm going to describe how you can demonstrate good sportsmanship.  

Support your team: 
If you have a team in whatever you might be doing make sure you support it. In our school in each team for sports day we have a mix of children some from year 6 and others from nursery so the older ones have the responsibility of looking after them and congratulating them. Something that works for me is giving your team mates high fives and saying well done.

Be a good loser:
No one likes a bad loser so don't be one.It can be disappointing if you come last in whatever you're doing but just think that it's not the worst thing in the world.Make sure you try to be happy for the winner by congratulating them. 

It's OK to be a bit competitive:
Being competitive is fine and actually really natural.Some people say it's bad to be competitive but it's not, it's actually human. The only thing you've got to remember is not to be over competitive because I know that I get pretty frustrated when some people are way too competitive and not very nice with it.

Be a good winner: 
If you win you're naturally going to be happy but make sure you don't sound too boastful.Make sure you congratulate everyone in your competition. 

 Respect the Judge's decision:
Remember the official's decision is final and needs to be respected even if it is disappointing!They may get it wrong sometimes but they are doing their best like you are!

I hope you enjoyed this post even if it was a bit different.Also I hope these tips helped you think about how to demonstrate good sportsmanship next time you take part in sport!

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

How to organise the best sleepover ever!

Hey guys, 
Yesterday I had an amazing sleep over with my best friend. We stayed up really late, watched films and ate loads of sweets/candy.Because I had a great time I decided to share with you some of my tips for a great sleep over.

1.Choose some great films to watch:
To make it a fun sleep over you definitely need some good movies you both like.What me and my friend did was choose a handful of films and then we chose the one we would watch first and then the one we would watch second I definitely recommend you do this. 

2.Make sure your nice and comfortable: 
This is a must! if your'e not comfortable you won't enjoy the film your watching.On the first film we watched I was really uncomfortable so on the second film I lay down on my cosy bed and watched the movie and I enjoyed it much more!

3.Have plenty of snacks 
I love having something to snack on while I'm at a sleep over.I think the best things to have is something like popcorn or chocolate.This isn't a must but if you do have something to snack on I think it makes the sleep over a bit better.

4.Play some party games!: 
With this one I mean something like truth or dare or would you rather.Just something to get you talking a bit more.Because sometimes you don't really talk that much in a sleep over but if you play some of these simple games you will.

So I hope you found this post helpful for when you next have a sleep over. If you guys have any other tips for a sleep over leave them in the comment section below. 

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day. 

The book and reading tag:

Hey guys,
So a while back I was tagged by Cindy from http://blindeyesoftheworld.blogspot.co.uk/ to do the book and reading tag.The person that created this Tag was Noor from http://www.alittlebitofsunshineblog.com/ you should definitely check her blog out as well.

Books to be read in May:
Definitely the Hunger games and the rest of the Harry potter books.

Book series that you'd like to be seen as a movie:
Probably The Tom Gates series because it's similar to diary of a wimpy kid which was made into a film so I'm sure it would be amazing.

Over hyped author/book:
I actually don't know an answer for this one.

The best book series:
.Diary of a wimpy kid 
.Harry potter

The best single book:
Girl Online by the amazing Zoella I definitely recommend you buy this book now it's so good.

Book to movie adaptation that was really bad:
Probably the private peaceful movie.The book of it was brilliant but the movie wasn't that great in my opinion.

Book that made you cry:
 A year ago I read a book called demon dentist by David walliams it's a kid book and not meant to be scary but I got freaked out by a bit of it.I started crying because I got a nightmare from it!!!

A book series you didn't like:
Probably Geek Girl because I began to read the first book and I didn't really enjoy it.

Books you haven't read but really need to:
The rest of the Harry potters because I've only read the first two.

What was the first book you really loved?:
The biff,chip and kipper books.You probably have never heard of them but in our school they have all the books in my first class at school and I just remember really liking them.

So I hope you enjoyed the tag and I have to nominate someone but I think most of my blogging friends have already done this tag so I tag anyone who hasn't done this tag.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

4 tips to help you do well on tests

Hey guys,
So I know at the moment most people are preparing for school tests including me and I usually worry about them a lot and don't always do that great on them.So I've prepared 4 tips to help you do better on tests and exams.

1.Don't panic!!!
I've been in tests where I've panicked a lot which has made me not concentrate and do quite badly on tests.So what I advise is for you not to panic or worry because even if you think it's the most important test in the world, it's probably not even that important.Also worrying about tests and stuff is actually quite bad for you.

2.Answer all the questions
A couple of days ago we did a practice paper and I left 6 questions out which I should have just answered because not answering them cost me marks.Even if you don't understand a question just move on and then come back to it at the end.If you only have a few minutes left in your test and still don't have an idea what the answer is just guess because you have more of a chance of getting the question right than if you just leave it blank.

3.Manage your time
In most tests you'll get a time limit to complete your paper.So the best way to do it in the time limit is to manage your time.If you don't get a question move on and make sure you don't spend ages on one question and just sit there confused because this can waste your time.

4.Read the questions carefully 
Going back to the practice test I was on about before,some people weren't reading the question properly, for example it would say tick two and they'd tick one.I've done that before and it's cost me so many marks so make sure you read the question carefully. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful I hope you all do great on your upcoming tests.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day:)

How to be great at public speaking!

Hey guys,
Today I thought I would tell you how to master public speaking.So I'm sure we've all been in the situation when we've had to speak in front of a lot of people.It might be a few people,a room of people or a crowd of people but its still scary.Lately in school we've all had to do public speaking in front of the class. I have to admit I wasn't very good at it at first but everything comes with practice. Here is a list of my tips and tricks to make public speaking easier.




1..Act like your superhero self
This might sound a bit strange but if you act like a confident superhero it makes you feel 10 times better.Even if your'e feeling terrified on the inside,make yourself seem confident so the audience will think you are.

2.Make sure you learn your speech really well
Make sure you learn your speech and practice many times. This will make it come more naturally when you come to doing the speech. I would advise you to have a few bullet points with a few key words or facts to remind you what you're going to say.If you don't learn your speech, it will only make you more nervous because you will be worried that you will forget it.

 3.Speak clearly 
This is extremely important to make sure you get your point across so that everyone can understand. If you mumble, people may loose interest.

4.Project your voice
When your'e nervous you can often speak quite quietly so some people may not hear. If you project your voice loudly, more people will hear so more people can engage in your speech. This is especially important if you don't have a mic and if your speaking in a large room. 

5. Relax!
My last point is to relax- just pretend you are talking to yourself in the mirror. If you relax your speech will flow better and you will feel more confident about yourself.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and have found it useful.Public speaking is scary but can be made simple- you will soon be fab at public speaking!

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

Internet Safety Day

Hey guys,
Today I thought I would do a post about internet safety as it is internet safety day.We all know and use the internet and we know how amazing it is,I wouldn't even have this blog if the internet wasn't invented.But its also really dangerous. There's some really horrible people out there who use the internet as a way of bullying just because they're not saying it face to face.Also, if you're  on any social media such as Instagram or Facebook you don't always know who your talking to.
But hopefully these set of instructions I'll show you will help you stay safe on the internet.

1.NEVER SHARE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!! 
  This includes where you live or your phone number because once that person has these they can track you down and know who you are. 

2.ONCE YOU'VE SENT SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER GET IT BACK!!!
  once you've sent a picture or a text you can never get it back.
They might of already seen the text or they might of copied it and sent it to some other person that's why you should check the text over before sending it.

3.NEVER MEET UP WITH ANYONE!!! 
  Even if you've been talking to someone over the internet for months and your'e convinced that you know them you should still never meet up.It could be very dangerous and you might have realised that you've been talking to someone who's not really who they say they are.If you really think that someone you've been talking to is really nice and you really want to meet up with them,get a responsible adult to take you along to meet the person so if you realise that this person isn't who you think they are you can always have someone to help you.You should also always meet in a public place surrounded by lots of people as it can be dangerous to meet up in a deserted, quiet place.

4.TELL SOMEONE IF YOUR GETTING CYBER BULLIED OR SOMEONES MAKING YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ONLINE!!!
  You should never just keep it to yourself,you always need to tell someone because they can give you advice and even contact the police depending on how bad it's got.Nowadays the police can sometimes track down where the nasty texts have been coming from.

5.NEVER GIVE ANYONE YOUR PASSWORD 
  Even if its a good friend you can trust you never give anyone your password because it could be dangerous if it got into the wrong hands. Plus,make sure your password is hard to guess and isn't the same for all the sites that you use.

So guys I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful because this can happen to anyone but I'm sure your're now more aware of how you can stop this from happening to you.

Also somewhere this week I will be putting up a post about how to make the nicest cookies ever!

Anyway bye guys and hope you have a great day.
