Our Idols.

In class, as part of our homework, we had to present to the class a short presentation about who our idol is. So far we have had a wide variety of people as idols, from sports stars to ordinary people we know. Kaitlin's idol is Mark Todd, which is very fitting as he has just been in the news for winning Badminton for his forth time, after first winning the three day equestrian event 31 years ago. He also won back-to-back gold medals for New Zealand at the Olympic Games. Mark Todd thinks his new horse Land Vision has a good chance of winning an Olympic medal.
Who is somebody you respect and look up to as an idol? What makes you choose them?

Class Fish.

In Room 1 we have four cockabillies in our fish tank. Sam brought us two at the beginning of the year and two more have appeared since then, one very mysteriously! Under the motor of the air pump in the tank is a sac of small eggs. I wonder if they will hatch? Do you have to have male and female cockabillies for the eggs to hatch or does it not matter like with some species? Who can find the answer to this so we know if we might have some baby fish??

A Royal Wedding!

On Friday 29th April, Catherine Middleton (Kate) married Prince William. They were married in front of hundreds of people and millions more watched them worldwide, either outside or on TV. Imagine your new husbands grandma is .... THE QUEEN! There were lots of people invited to the wedding which the couple would not know very well, if at all. How do you think it might feel to get married with so many people watching you that you don't really know? Would you like to marry a prince or princess? Why? How do you think Kate's life will change now she has married William? Does anyone know what their new names are now? What is the name of the beautiful place they got married in?
