The Hillwood Herald

Each Friday, we write the blog of the school which is by the upper graders. We have it every morning on Friday from 9:00 to 10:30. We are assigned a topic to write about by Ms. Moorhead. We than research the topic and write a post about it. Afterwards we post it and people who read the Hillwood Herald read it! Sometimes. we work together and sometimes we are visited by the Design Squad or other people. We also video each other about the posts we did. Close to the end of the posting, some one tells the rest of the class about their post Currently, we are choosing a partner to work with, and with the partner, we are going to create an over sized design of creations which Adam and Judy talked about in the past. Many important topics we write about is the events that happen at the Hillwood Herald like Walk-a-Thons and Pennies for Patients. Besides doing current events on the computer, we write about them at school on paper as well which we talk about on Friday.

Australia Allows Exports of Uranium to Russia

Australia is the world's third largest uranium producer. Not a long time ago, Australia allowed uranium to be exported to Russia. The problem is that it was only Russia. Australia has refused to sell uranium to India. Australia refused to sell it to India for energy use because the South Asian country has not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Russia is lucky to be the country that Australia sells Uranium to. Russia hopes that "agreements on the peaceful use of nuclear energy" will be complete. Also, Australia and Russia both signed up to President Barack Obama's plan to secure all vulnerable nuclear material in four years outlined at two-day summit in Washington earlier this month. This had to involve forty-seven countries.
