National Sport

                                              As you may have previously seen this term in Integrated Curriculum the topic is Utopia. One task was to pick a national sport and explain why you choose it. This was done with Kaylee as I had said before.

Definition of Utopia; A country or place in which everything is ideal and perfect, with no flaws.

Reflection: I'm very proud of this work we did, we went over everything in alot of detail and we explained it well. Next time I would next time choose a more creative way to present our work.

Utopia Leaders:

            This term for integrated curriculum we've been working on a subject called Utopia and deciding on the types of government we have is one of our tasks. I worked with Kaylee for all of Utopia and this is our Government.

Definition of Utopia; A country or place in which everything is ideal and perfect, with no flaws.

Reflection: I think we did quite well with telling our audience the reasoning behind our decisions. Next time I think we could research just a little more and Finnish earlier. It was not to much of a hard task although we took a while to complete it.

Immortality = You have eternal life.
 Callous = Cruel and cold hearted.

 24th February 1993 

 Every night he visits me. 

 Never in my dreams. 

But always in my nightmares. 

 His voice is dreadful and sinister. The way he speaks is full of strength and intensity. His words have never been heard without a drop of venom. The words he says make my hair-raise and my spine fill with chills.

“I have the key. The key that unlocks all. Happiness, immortality, riches. Anything from your wildest dreams.” These words are drilled into my brain. Permanently tattooed and now immovable.

 “The door. Go to the door you will find all in there.” His voice is abnormal, Callous and hardened. With absolutely no hint of humanity what so ever. 

It’s always the same. A square room, the walls and floor pure white. Every corner perfectly even. There's one oak wood rocking chair in a corner, with a small wooden bedside table beside it. There's one door placed in the center of the wall opposite the chair. 

 I envision myself sitting on the plain rocking chair. My long brown locks in knots that look identical to tangled wires. There’s gigantic eye bags hanging from my eyes that give the ‘zombie coming back from the dead’ effect. I look as pale as a ghost that's been dipped in white paint. You can tell I've been scarred by the unbalanced look that's plastered on my face or maybe it’s the way my hands tremble down along with my body. I’m wearing what looks like a silky baby pink nightgown that reaches to just up to my knees. 

 I stand up slower than a snail sliding across salt. My knees clash against one another. My footsteps fill the silence in the room. My heart beating faster with each footstep. My body shakes as goosebumps begin to cover my arms and legs. As soon as I reach the door I outstretch my arm. My icy-cold hands meet with cool metal. I begin to turn the handle in a sluggish way, afraid of what’s hidden beneath the thick wooden door. My heart feels like it's about the jump out of my chest. 

 I never got past that. Everytime I’m about to open the door I awake.

 But it still haunts me. He still haunts me.

 We had to pick 5 poems about space that we liked reading say what the purpose of the author is, who their intended audience are and what we liked about the poem.

Reflection:I liked my poem that I wrote but maybe next time I could find more creative words to describe the 5 poems.

Famous Journey:

WALT:  Make connections with the knowledge we already have; Find information across a range of text in media, change information into your own words.

This term our integrated curriculum was a journey and one of the tasks was to find out about a journey and make a DLO. My journey was on Curiosity

Hope you enjoy.
