The Vegetarian Valentine

Here is a hilarious poem I would like to share with everyone!


Cabbage always has a heart; Green beans string along.  You're such a Tomato, Will you Peas to me belong?
You've been the Apple of my eye, You know how much I care;
So Lettuce get together, We'd make a perfect Pear.
Now something's sure to Turnip, To prove you can't be Beet;
So, if you Carrot all for me Let's let our Tulips meet.
Don't Squash my hopes and dreams now; Bee my Honey, dear;
Or tears will fill Potato's eyes, While Sweet Corn lends an ear.
I'll Cauliflower shop and say Your dreams are Parsley mine.
I'll work and share my Celery,
So be my Valentine.

Of Cabbages and Kings.....

What shall I talk of?

Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax
Of cabbages and kings? - Alice in Wonderland

First of all, thanks for voting!  According to the poll, 85% of us (or whoever voted) think that we have an unreasonable amount of homework!  And I thought that everyone seemed to be coping with the homework....

Everyone did a brilliant job with the science models - I was just stunned by our class' creativity and skill!  Good on us, S1X!  :)

How is everyone progressing on the Night of the Notables?  I liked the 'preview' we did in class the other day!  Everyone seems to have chosen very interesting and notable people, and I find myself looking forward, even more enthusiastically, to the Night ahead.

I have been attempting to catch up with the Night of the Notables work - I lost my USB after the holidays, in which I had saved the poster and activities.  I was silly enough not to make a back-up copy.  Oh, well...too late now.  I am presently re-typing the details for my poster, and then I shall begin designing.  I hope everyone's well on the way with their presentation.

THE POLL

Oh, by the way, the poll at the top of the page is meant to relate to the question:  "What do you think about the amount of homework we get in our class?"  Please vote and tell me what you think.  It'd be interesting to determine our class' degree of nerdiNESS. 

NIGHT OF THE NOTABLES

Hello, everyone!

I'm sorry for not posting for so long.....At the moment I am trying to type with one hand and talk to someone on the phone at the same time.  I must say that I am brilliant at multi-tasking, but this is seriously taking a long long time...It is very interesting, attempting to keep up my end of the conversation with various comments made at random intervals and conversing in a relevant fashion.  But this means that my post is irrelevant to the title above. 

I am just wondering what everyone is doing for the Night of the Notables and what ideas they have about presenting their Notable.  It might be helpful to other classmates.  Please comment! I love hearing other people's opinions.

I am doing Mother Teresa and I am not sure what I should put in the Personality Box and how I should present it.  Does anyone have any ideas to offer?

For people who are worrying about how much time we have left, we have two weeks!  Now's the time to start thinking seriously about the assignment (and doing something, too).  I realise that once we get it under progress, it is actually quite fun.  I hope the hypothetical conversation on the history blog in which a 7Y student has to admit that he has not even chosen his Notable, will not come true with our class.  Personally, I think that all of our class will do a brilliant job with this assignment and I am looking forward to the Night!

Please comment......:)

Assignments

I spent three hours today working on a science assignment with my marvelous, helpful, and ingenious brother.  It consisted of a model of the ear, which we are making with modelling clay (that's a good option because it doesn't harden and it still retains its shape).  It's driving me absolutely crazy!  The eardrum closely resembles an elephant leaning forward to pass a hand-bag to the cochlea, which happens to look like a snail with three flowers on its head.  We ended up in stitches of laughter over the model.  I am still relatively pleased with our efforts, though I do wish it wouldn't look so perfectly ludicrous.
:(

Because this is eventually going to become a study blog (as well as as personal blog), I will begin posting about school assignments when school starts and I've had the chance to send my blog link to the class.  And please don't feel left out if you're not in the class, because you still might have some excellent ideas to contribute! 

The Good New Days

Isn't it the good new days - when even an acknowledged hater of blogging decides to plunge into icy water and give blogging the benefit of the doubt?  Well, that's me!   :)  This post is definitely a FIRST.....

I am a talkative, (relatively) friendly person who has a passion for writing.  I intend to use this blog for educational purposes, writing, and socializing.

Enjoy!!!
