Ironic

Ironically, the blog post I wrote 19 days ago got a lot of views.
Funny.

Room 11

Our school has a room full of musical instruments, and that is Room 11.

I don't really see them get used a lot.

I think that we should find a room that doesn't get used anymore, and take a few of the keyboards, guitars and drums to create a music room.

Now that'll be a place I would like.

Judging

I hope little kids would
stop judging me.
They are everywhere.
I can see
their unimpressed eyes,
drilling
deep into my soul.

That poem tho.

Why I don't want to blog every time I learn a new thing

I got stabbed in the foot by a sewing needle a few minutes ago.
I like Mr Wood's education system, but have a problem with it.
Mr Wood wants us to blog every time we learn something, which is 2-3 times a day.
I think if I actually did blog it probably wouldn't help very much.
But I guess, like what I have been blogging recently, I only really blog when I want to.
Blogging is only one way of communicating.
I like presenting stuff in person more, like with music and talking.
And anyway, my audience is so small it's not really rewarding to blog on this blog.
I hate how the teachers changed us from being blog moderators to authors, unless we ask, and they agree, and then we get to be moderators for a small time. I liked my blog more when I could change the background whenever I felt like it. And also, my description about who I am (located at the top right) used to be a little different, but some teachers changed it to be more of what the majority call 'normal'.
Blogging also doesn't really motivate me to learn more things, just to show people what I can do.
I only do that with singing, dancing, instruments and magic tricks.
I don't really like the 'if one person does something bad, you all suffer' mindset.

But this is just MY view.

Chinese class with Wendy!

Every Tuesday, Wendy (from China) comes to school to teach us Mandarin/Chinese, and the traditions of the Chinese. The first week Wendy came, she taught us how to use chopsticks, and then we played a game where er picked up small objects and put them in a bowl. Last week, We learned all about the Dragon Boat Festival, and Wendy played a song about it. Then we made rice dumplings, and I helped write Chinese names for everyone. Then, this Tuesday, Wendy made better names for everyone, and we practised writing them. I already have a Chinese name, so I just used that. After practising, we used colouring pens or Vivids to write them onto pieces of rice paper. It was a great time!

Hanmer Poem

It's 3:36.

Mr Wood told us to write a poem this week, and I finished it the day after.

Here is my poem.

--------------------

Have you smelled Hanmer?

Of course you have.

Remember that time when the rotten egg smells of the sulphur pool

went in your nose until you walked into the hot pools

and the heat made you forget about the smells?

Remember the first time you went down the superbowl

and it was dark at first but then you go around the bowl hoping

you didn’t get stuck or fall to the last hole backwards?

That was Hanmer.

Remember the time when you saw everybody go up the rock climb

and you thought it looked easy but when you actually

tried it it was hard but you still climbed nearly to the top on the hard one

and all the way to the top on the easy one?

That was Hanmer.

Remember that time when you walked into the Lolly Pot

and saw all the delicious candies

like Warheads, BeanBoozled and Pear drops

and feeling the excitement of taking your pick?

That was Hanmer.

If you try really hard

can you remember that time

when you didn’t want to go mountain biking

because you wanted to go to the pools

and the expected time to finish was two hours

but your small group finished it in less than

45 minutes?

That was Hanmer.

Piggbook Metalangauge

Today we started learning about a story by Anthony Browne, called Piggybook.

As you can see the cover a has puns and metaphors.

Mrs Piggot is piggybacking Mr Piggot, Patrick and Simon, SUPPORTING them.

And this book is about how they turn into pigs when Mrs Piggot leaves.

Here is the work I have done on this book, explaining some of the words.
