While Mr Burns was at school teaching us we made up our own Darwin awards, Darwin awards are different things/ways that they have killed them self or others - most of them are really funny,or really dumb! this is my Darwin award.....

Where: Napier
When: 2008

Two drunks thought that it would be cool if they went flying,so they set out fireworks on the ground then lay on them.They expected that the fireworks would lift them into the air, but from this experience they never saw daylight again.

Some of the Things that we have done this year......

Because I only started blogging this term you probibly wont know about some of the things that room 24 have gotten up to so far, so in this post I will share with you some of the things that we have done in our learning and other things outside the class.

- Room 24 Went on an E.O.T.C challenge (ed outside the classroom) this was heaps of fun and we did loads of this including river crossing, river rafting, bridge haul, bush walk, making bivoaucs, and heaps more. This was a fun trip and i would love to do something like this again!

- early New Zealand trip. This was a one day trip were we went on a walk around Napier to find out about Napier and new Zealands history. After the walk we went and chilled out at ocean spa. Before this trip we studied heaps about early settlers to new Zealand and things like that.

- In our writing early on in the year we did report writing. i did my report on dancing.

- We made our own countries. for this we had to make up many things including, making a map, flag, where it is located, tourist Attractions, National anthem, our own Minny web page, and many more things. We made these countries based with the Olympics and we had to explain things in our countries so that then visitors/athletes know where they were coming for the Olympics!

- Debate writing, we did a little bit of debate writing in the middle of the year, then we were each giving a team and a debate subject to debate about. we had a few weeks to write our debates then we all presented them to another year 8 class, this was a little comp! our class ended up winning all of the debates except two of them we drew!

- We also had Mr Burns with us for some of the year. Mr burns was a student teacher becoming a teacher and has now done all of his exams! Everyone in room 24 had HEAPS of fun with Mr Burns, he even taught us for a week while Mr Doyle was in Japan on an exchange with about 12 Taradale int kids.

Poetry - Boys & girls Poem

This was a poem that me and Georgia wrote for sex ed.

Boys & Girls

Boys like cars, mud and trucks
Girls like dolls and baby ducks

Boys are rough and pretend not to care
Girls are loving and like brushing their hair

Boys are aggrivatingly proud
Girls are quiet, not very loud

This is what people think of us, sometimes its wrong
So when you hear this stang up and be STRONG!

......Poetry - I Am Poem......

This is one of my poems - it is called an I Am poem because it is about me, although some of the things have to be imanginative for e.g - I touch, I pretend, I feel.


I am cheerful and crazy
I wonder about the future
I hear leave droping to the ground
I see the waves chrashing into the sand
I want to travel the world with Toomey
I am cheerful and crazy
I pretend to fly to mars
I feel like i can dance through the clouds
I touch the soft whrite clouds
I worry about lossing my family
I cry for all family members that have passed away
I am cheerful and crazy
I understand that i LOVE talking
I say friends for ever
I dream that the world will be a better place
I try to do my best
I hope That i will grow taller some day
I am cheerful and crazy

Victoria's blog

Hi Victoria
Fantastic effort with your blog so far. I've been impressed by the focus on our learning here at school - well done. Maybe you could include one of your poems and explain how the poem was put together (drafted) and maybe mention one of the readings we've done in literacy and what you learnt? Cool voki and slideshow. Keep up the great work.
Regards
Mr Doyle aka big taradale
