term 3 goals
This term I should try to listen more to the teacher and consentrate not to get destracted.
Another thing I would like to acheive this term would be to get as few peices of work in late as possible.
I should also try to give 100% in my work.
one more thing i should do would be to practise basic facts and try to get 80-90 in a speed test.
Term 2 Goals 2007 This term I would like to improve my maths, to acheive this I will try to do my best in tests and work, listen and write things down in my note book. I will also try to work on my spelling and especially the areas of maths I have gaps in like long division and multiplication.
Term 2 goal assessment
This term I think I have set challenging but achievable goals, however I think I should have been more specific of what I needed to do and especially how I was going to achieve this.
Visual Language Task
Our song was called when im sixty four. we were givin the task of creating a static image to show the meaning of the song.
I think we worked well together. the most challenging thing was finding pictures that suited the song.
Poetry
St Paul’s
Glass, stained to scintillating colours
Old seats surround a beautiful teak altar
Narrow stair case spirals to vast bells
Candles of prayer flicker in the corner of a huge chamber
Parliament
Enter the beautiful building,
Gold stair case’s and black marble pillars
Chandeliers hang from the roofs of parliament
Politicians argue with the opposition
Arts festival
Hundreds of ancient instruments on display,
Shadow gods spin mountains to milk water,
A bicycle or the most versatile instrument in the world?
Te Papa
Beautiful gold scarabs, turquoise amulets and ancient canopic jars
Mummified animals, pets in the after life
Keku’s soul in an after life and body in a museum,
Spells from the book of the dead to protect you in the afterlife
Wellington Central
Tall buildings tower hundreds of meters,
Helicopters constantly taking off,
Sculptures and giant metal orbs floating above
Museums and shops selling exotic items.
Rock Climbing
We arrived at the rock climbing site, and I noticed how easy they all looked they were covered in handholds and most were sloping in less then 85 degree angles. There were three climbs, each about 20 meters high. On the first climb I did it was as I had predicted it was very easy until I got to a overhanging ledge where you could stand, I explored the right side of the rock and found that there were very few hand holds. I stood there for a few seconds, puzzled then I went back to the left side of the rock and found a simple route up to the green carabineer. Then I laid back, feet at shoulder height and shoulder width apart and walked backwards down the side of the cliff. I walked around on the beach then. The wind picked up and was freezing. Some people were making a hut out of drift wood and I joined in until we were told that, as I had expected, we would not be able to go inside the pile of sticks because it would collapse. So I went back to the cliff face. Most people had dispersed so I didn’t have to wait long until I was climbing again, this time on the hardest one as I started I admitted it did look trickier than the last one, I said climbing to my beelayer and started climbing, when I was a quarter of the way up I reached some good hand holds, which crumbled as I put my weight on them sending me swinging. This happened a few times but soon I reached the top and began abseiling down the climb when I reached the bottom someone pointed out that my leg was bleeding they were pretty fun climbs.

Review No. of pages: 232
Genre/theme: science fiction
Review: February 1999 and the earth men have finally found a way to land on the 2nd planet, Mars but not until September 2005 do we successfully last more then a week on the planet, since the murderess aliens have been almost wiped out by an earth pandemic disease of chicken pox. The writer has made good guesses about Mars considering the information available, mars has less oxygen then earth enough to survive but not enough to run for long amounts of time etc. The book was good, if slightly boring and the characterization is actually quite poor, new characters replace the last ones at every chapter and the book jumps around a lot from one half of a planet to the next. However, the story features some sharp turns witch keep the reader for example the first people from earth end up in a place where there are many other people from earth, Jupiter etc until they realize where they are, the mental asylum. It is also interesting to be in his not to distant future and see where someone believed we would be in the future, and that we are behind his schedule. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoys not only science fiction, but also to anyone who enjoys reading books that will make them think. It’s a good read although sometimes Bradbury’s observations into human nature will make you shudder and it shows how disgusting and greedy we really are.
Once upon a time there were three goats, Soggy, Diego and latte that were very displeased with their energy bills and were
trying to think green so they decided to travel across the dam as they approached the dam a brilliant lime bird screeched a warning: beware! This dam is guarded by a fearsome troll
A what!? Gasped Diego. Don’t worry said latte, and won’t the promise of a clean, green earth be worth risking life and limb for. “No” said Diego. “To bad… your coming anyway” said latte so they approached the dam okay; you go first said Soggy to Diego “ummm ok” so he trudged across the dam, his cloven hooves making a steady clip clop clip clop clip clop suddenly a hideous troll leaped up over the steel rails “who crosses my bridge argh… just let me put my chicken in the fridge” please don’t eat me gasped Diego… eat my sister she’s much bigger and juicer then me. I may be an idiot, but I’m not a fool! Shouted the troll and leapt at the goat maaaaaa screamed Diego and darted between the trolls legs, when across he slammed his head into the control for the solar panel, directing the sun onto the poor troll, he screamed and fell, on fire off the dam and into the water. That night the three goats happily ate the lush green grass and enjoyed cheap electricity… mean while a family of sewer dwelling trolls were holding a funeral for the troll. Later his immediate relatives were plotting revenge, and half an hour later they dreamed up a vague idea I’ve got it! Exclaimed mother troll: me an’ Murphy ill pretend to be wolves… in sheep’s clothes! Then you and … incoherent whispers. …24 hours later… “And then the sun fried the troll, hahahaha” bragged Diego sure said soggy. that’s them! Said an innocent looking sheep for sure replied another they closed in around the house and threw off their sheep skin clothing, and jumped through the window, arrrrgh wolves! Screamed Soggy. What where!? Said Murphy “they mean us stupid” said the mother troll ha! Where not wolv- argh what did you do that for! (Mother Troll had smashed the metal kettle on his head) “You’ll blow our cover” “bit late for that… look they’re getting away!” they ripped off their wolf skin clothes and tore after them …mean while on another part of the hill… They’ll never catch us now Diego said enthusiastically don’t be so sure latte said grimly, “those wolves didn’t walk like wolves” “you don’t think- but Soggy was cut short, as they reached the top of the hill they saw two hideous, scaly, huge trolls baring the entrance to the dam, “she said this was the place”? Yup, definitely it here, now we just wait till she herds ‘em over here “a trap!” exclaimed Soggy Cool said Diego “lucky I have these troll skin clothes” said latte she got into one (Diego had to stand on Soggys head to be larger) then they went over to the trolls: they should be here shortly said latte
Wah? You speak funny. oh, sorry: they should be here shortly said latte
Okay, where ready for ‘em …a short while later… two trolls sprinted down the hill, Diego (an expert at ventriloquism) threw his voice and maaaed from the trolls direction they’re trying to trick us get them, said the largest, the band of trolls leapt at the mother and Murphy troll, hurling them off the bridge we got them good sure said latte and the three goats bucked the three trolls down to oblivion.
And they all lived happily ever after.
