Clone Wars – Sami’s Revenge!
This video shows the results of a summer science project between Sami and my Dad
My brother Sami always complains that I bully him when I don’t
Whilst I can easily handle one Sami, all three at the same time is an impossibility!

How to Grow Mango Trees From Seed, Germination, Planting and Results
This is a step by step youtube video guide on how to grow mango trees from seed, utilising the best method for mango seed germination, to planting, to what results you can be expected after a month (a 10 mango tree forest!).
These are the 10 mango trees after just 1 months growth from planting
How to Germinate Mango Seeds
Remove the Mango seed form the dry husk (after a few days left to dry on a window sill).
Next wrap the seed loosely in a paper towel
Now wet the paper towel wrapped seed and then place it into a plastic wallet or zipper bag, place on a shelf, then place on a shelf for a couple of weeks to germinate.
Two weeks later, the seeds have germinated into baby mango trees.
Now plant the mango trees into small pots
And here are the Mango trees just 1 month later.
The difference in growth rates suggests that the bigger the pot they are placed in the faster they will tend to grow.

Strength Building Weight Training Exercise for Silverdale Secondary School, Sheffield
My strength building weight training programme continues into the start of Silverdale Secondary school in September.
My brother Sami is now helping by coaching me.
"Come on Adnaan, just one more rep, you can do it!"
"Pull down your arms Adnaan not your body."
No pain no gain!
Sami gives it a go.
Sami gives it a try, though he is too young, needs to grow a little more before starting training.
With 2 months to go before School starts, my goal is to increase my strength by another 50%, that’s on top of the 100% gain to date.

Silverdale Secondary School Sheffield Induction Day for New Pupils Starting in September
Today at 09:00AM I went to my induction day to Silverdale Secondary school, in Sheffield, I dressed in my Athelstan Primary School Uniform.
First, I went into the school sports hall, to re-group with the rest of the year; and the teachers. There were about 50 students there and we were split into 5 groups (I was in group 2), the group leaders were Y11 students.
For our first lesson, we were escorted to a maths room, where we had a maths teacher. First of all we had a simple task of re arranging a sum in letters to the same sum with the same letters but In a different answer (E. G eleven plus two can be re-arranged into twelve plus one). After that, we played a game where you had to connect 4 in a row to win ..There were approximately 5 teams. By the end of the game my team had won.
After the maths lesson, we headed to the Art lesson. our Art objective was to make and design a pop up Art picture. I struggled allot, I found it very boring because I don’t like art, subsequently I didn’t do much in that lesson.
Next, it was english-But this lesson was very short, about half an hour. Our task was mainly based on poetry, furthermore we started off writing our own poem, but I didn’t get to finish by poem unfortunately, we were asked to take them home and finish them.
Lunchtime – During lunch time I got lost and wandered lonely as a cloud, though I was not on my own, with 3 others. The dining hall was like a cafe, I picked what I liked and it cost me £1.60.
After lunch, we had Design and Technology. Our D&T task was to create our own custom bag tag, it was pretty easy to do, the class lasted about 45 minutes but the time went fast because I liked it a lot.
The last and final lesson was foreign languages, we had to do french. In the lesson, french was easy because most of the things we did I had already done in my primary school.
Finale we went home; at about 3.15pm and my Dad was waiting to pick me up in his car.
Overall the induction day was okay, overall I would have enjoyed it more if they had done more science orientated lessons. And Also it was a big disappointment that they never really showed us around the school, which is why we got lost.
My Dad has put me down for 2 weeks for Summer School, which will hopefully be more useful than the induction day.
Meantime I have my baggage tag.
And some material to look over about the school, including importantly a map. I recommend that the school in future takes new students on a guided tour around the school.
