So “we” (yes that’s the royal we) sit down on Sunday to press on with Latin homework.  But first … what else is on the list? … Art (well we spoke about that recently … we have until June to complete that),  History (we have til June for that one too), Latin (two weeks for that, but we like Latin - for the time being!), Geography by Monday, Tech by Monday,  Maths by Monday.  Obviously, let’s press on with Latin … why? … ‘cos Geog, Tech & Maths all “left in school”!

(Mater … Thought I’d encourage her along!)  It’s difficult to keep up with all this stuff when in addition to school … there’s Guides (and Guides homework, and sometimes Guides activities on the weekend), Tae Kwon Do (twice a week), Musicianship (and Musicianship homework) etc … and of course the constant call of “do nothing” … or worse still “waste time on the computer”.  Safe Eyes really constrained this last important activity, but Mathletics stepped in to fill the void.

So with her permission … I’ll occasionally add to this site, as the sk8r girl’s dad does!

Phew. one assignment is gone! The other day i happened across a certain geography teacher who gladly took in my assignment. What i had to do was take an A3 piece of paper and draw a map of the route to my local shops. As my bestie, ozkenzaaa, would know there is a nearby franklins which i gladly drew a map of. we had three weeks to do this assignment. I did it in the last weekend! :D

So i handed in my geography and i went about my highschooler duties, mainly moving about classrooms and doing work inside them, when i happen across my history teacher who tells me that she has a surprise for us in our period 4 history class. being my curious self i waited impatiently through my period 3 literacy class until my history class in period 4. i knew that there was something special coming up and it was obvious that others did too as they were hopping up and down as much as i was (a lot). then the time came and i was at the end of my rope! and then i slid all the way back down again.

It was an assessment task. In this one we have to make a model of something they used in Greece or Rome (I’m doing a roman shield or a scutum) and write a report about it and to top it off you have to present it to the class. I’m not a public speaker. I couldn’t do it if i was standing in front of an invisible audience! Then Lunch was called. In our school we don’t have a bell the teachers just wander around calling either “Lunch”, “recess” or “class time” I went to the library. After eating my wrap of course :) no food in the library children!! :@!! I sat at a computer and the teacher walked past. “this Block of computers is for homework children only. did you know that?” i took out my assignment and explained that since i had another assignment to do at home (art, next time….) i thought that it would be easier to manage my assignments if i started my History at school. She smiled at me and told me that she wished other children were as clever as me!

I’ts weird how many moods teachers can show huh?
