School boy dies after drinking vodka

Sixteen year old, James Webster has died after drinking vodka that was 20 years old. James told his father that he was going to a friends on Saturday night to study but instead he went to an 18th birthday party at the RSA, Grey Lynn. James took the vodka bottle himself and never woke up afterwards. James had a lot going for him being a very successful sportsman. On the Facebook page that was made for James, Donald Webster his father wrote, "Why can a 16-year-old get so intoxicated without one of his mates realising and doing something about it? It is far too late to point fingers, but it is not too late to learn a lesson." This is a tragic accident and James' parents hope his death will hammer home the dangers of teenage drinking.

  1. In your own words explain what rotational symmetry is.
Rotational symmetry is how many times a shape can be rotated and still look the same.

b.How is rotational symmetry different from line symmetry
Rotational symmetry is when the shape is moved to look the same but line symmetry is when a shape is exactly the same on either side and if you were to fold it in half, both sides would be exactly the same.

c. What do you do to check if a shape has rotational symmetry?
By rotating a shape and seeing if it looks the same when in a different position.

"MUM, where are my favourite socks?" I asked yelling for help 
"Where are my Tuesday undies?"asked Dad, searching through his drawers. "You know I have to wear them today!"
"Just wear Monday's undies, no one is going to know!" replied Mum.  
"No ones going to know you say, I'm going to know and to wear Mondays undies, pfft that would be idiotic!" dad answered back with a streak in his voice. 

This was only the beginning of our family disaster. The next few weeks things were starting to disappear and fast. With dad losing his Tuesday undies and me losing my favourite socks, Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while mum then lost her favourite dress. We thought we were going mental, "It's not like they could just hop up and run away!" said Isaac. 
Mum suggested that we recap our steps. "When was the last time you had your items?" she said.
We all replied, "Before washing day was the last time we had them."
"So maybe it's the washing machine that's caused all this drama," Mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eyes. We checked the washing machine there was… nothing with nothing to prove. I decided to put a GoPro in the machine to watch it in action to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realise was that the washing machine would take my GoPro too. "AHHH IT'S GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice. 
"What are we going to do? Mum replied "Lets just give up."
"Fine, if that’s the best idea," I moaned. 
A few weeks later Isaac had dropped his toy car behind the washing machine. As we were looking for it a pair of undies popped up out of the blue, just sitting there. "Mum look!" I said with a big grin on my face. Who would have guessed, we both stood there smiling.

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. It was an ordinary day and everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils by their side. The sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears, I decide to listen in on Brittney's conversation with Ella, 
"OMG, last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there," Explained Brittney.
"No way!" replied Ella, "That exact thing happened to me, I was sure I put it into my bag! 
This is a little strange, I thought to myself why are things disappearing?

Eventually the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head. I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery. As I unzipped the case, I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag! This is insane! I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise, my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds singing. It seemed like an ordinary day. I walked into my class that is usually full of colour, but not today, my class looked like a prison cell. "What happened?" I gasped. 
"Don't worry kids," assured Miss Green, "We have a thief in our class and I am going to get to the bottom of this." 
One by one, Miss Green started checking our bags. Everyone seemed relaxed, except for James. Miss Green made her way down the line and James was last to be checked. 
"Oh," said Miss Green, looking rather lost. "What is this?" she asked James. She pulled out two books, a pencil case, my laptop and two class posters from James' bag.
I was utterly shocked to say the least. "I am so sorry!" cried James, "It's just that everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better." The truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not want stuff from other people.

It was a Monday morning, I just got woken up by my mum to get ready for school. I got out of bed and reached down for my uniform but it wasn't there, I looked under my bed and under my pillows but I couldn't find my uniform anywhere. 
"Kaidin have you gotten in the shower yet?"
"No Mum, I cant find my uniform."
"Well you better find it quick or you will be going to school in your onesie!"
"But Mum, I can't find it anywhere, it’s like just disappeared!"
"Oh sure, just like all your other stuff huh Kaidin?" 
I got a note to go to school with to say that my uniform is lost and that I have to wear mufti just for today, which was a pain because every teacher I walked past asked why I'm in mufti and where my uniform is so I just showed them the note and moved on. When I got home I went to go grab my iPod from where I always put it, but I looked and that wasn't there either. I yelled out to my mum, 
"Mum, have you seen my iPod?"
"No, but do you know where you last put it?"
"Mum, if I knew where I last put it do you think I'd be asking you where it is?"
"Sorry, just trying to help."
I thought to myself that I'll try to find it later so I run into my room to go on my PS3 but surprise, surprise, it’s not there.
"Mum!"
"Oh what now Kaidin?" Said mum, "I know you're up to mischief."
"Tell me where all my stuff is!"
"Kaidin, do you really think I would hide your uniform away from you so you would go to school in your onesie?" Said mum, "Now what’s gone missing?" 
"My PS3, the whole thing!" Yells Kaidin, "The controller is here but not my HDMI cable, power cord or my Elgato!"
I really couldn't be bothered looking for all my stuff because it will take me hours so I just thought of going for a bike ride. I walk outside to get my bike and I couldn't believe it, my bike had no tyres! By this time I've had enough, I went up to my mum and said, 
"Mum, I know you’ve put all my stuff somewhere, please can I have it back?"
"Kaidin, I have hidden your stuff away, would you like to get it back?"
"Yes where is it, where is it, where is it?"
"Right here."
My mum led me to her bedroom where my stuff was all scattered around the room. My PS3, the power cord, the HDMI and my Elgato. My iPod was under her drawers and my bike tyres were under Liams bed. My uniform was in my mums drawers. "Okay thanks mum for hiding my stuff."
"Thats okay I'll do it again sometime!"
"Hahaha, yeah right."
