SPEECH FINALS

The speech finals were held on Tuesday last week and I have to say it was Pretty cool with a capital "P". When I got there I saw my WHOLE family was there. After I said hello to them all I was called up to the front to talk to Mr Freke (our principal) about what place where were going to be. My luck was not with me at that moment because I ended up second (noooooooooooooo) The 1st person to go was Edward, his speech was about the discovery of computers, The 3rd person to go was Karyna, who's speech was the discovery of... well lets just say... it was about the discovery of the wonderful TOILET who was discovered by Thomas Crapper.

Hahahahahahaha [cough] hahahahaha [sneeze] hahahahahahaha [burp] hahahahahahahahaha.

The 4th person was Libby who's speech was on the discovery of DINOS. Then the last person was Bella who's speech was on the Nazca Lines. Which are pretty freaky but if you want to learn about then go to her blog. When I got up to saying my speech, my knees were shaking, my teeth were chattering and my back was drenched with sweet. But I carried on anyway and I reckon I did pretty good. Anyway the speech that came third was Karyna which is weird 'cause I thought she would come first. The speech that came second was Edward and the person who came first was Bella and she truly deserved it. But when the judges said her name at the start he said the b sound and I thought it was me, but it wasn't.

Yeah, it was a pretty cool afternoon.

DISCOVERY SPEECH

Hey, Today I am going to talk about my AWESOMENESS speech in fact it was so awesomeness that it got into the speech semi finals and the finals. It would have to be pretty awesomeness to do that. My speech topic is on voyager 1 and 2, they are space probes that have made many discoveries and have been further than any other space craft or human being has been or seen on earth!!!I chose this speech topic because when I saw the video about it on You Tube it was so interesting and I really wanted to know more about. The more I researched and the more I knew about it the more interested I was. Before my speech I felt excited and glad that I had to present my speech 4th so I could get it done and over with. I never thought I'd be in the FINAL'S!!! After my speech I felt happy and surprised that everyone had laughed at my jokes in the speech. When I went to the speech semi finals it was even more scary than when I presented it to my class because this time there was 4x more people because it was the WHOLE senior syndicate. The judges were the senior syndicate teachers. When I said my speech to the senior syndicate I was literally SHAKING!!! But i have to admit it was pretty fun. The finals are tomorrow night and I am looking forward to it because heaps of my family are coming. I am still as scared as a bug that is about to be squashed. The thing I said to myself before the semi finals was really not that positive it was "the stage is my grave...the stage is my grave" But I guess it wasn't cause I am still alive and I am stilll typing...

right?

READING

Hi everyone,

In my class (room15) we do reading every morning and right now in the highest group we are doing a project about Bear Grylls book 'Gold of the Gods'. It is a pretty awesome book but I won't spoil it for the rest of you. The things we have to do are based on reading and the book. Some of the things I did was rewrite a chapter in a different point of view, Email Bear Grylls and tell him what you thought of the book and another one was do a themes and issues task which was a whole lot of questions basicly. My favourite part of the project was emailing Bear Grylls because it is going to be so interesting to hear back from him.
