Survival guide homework

Next year the year 8's will be starting college and might find it stressful or hard. Here are a few points that should help them with their first year of college here.

First point is you should always try make friends with everyone you meet. This is a real help because the more people you know the less lonely and bored you will be at breaks! Since the school does not really have break time things to do, this would come in handy because you can just hang with all your friends when you are bored.

Second is you should always be nice to everyone you meet including the teachers. This is also a big help because people will always respect you and will be more friendly toward you, and when showing towards your teachers they will always like you and give you good marks, which is always a good thing and you will be in the good books with your parents.

Last point is you should always try and be the best student you can be. I know I don't do this that much and I regret it but if you can do it you will be well remembered and respected by everyone.

So if you do these things you should do alright for the first year of college.

Letter homework

Tuesday 15 November

24 Mcleod Road
Weymouth
Auckland

Dear Miss Tipa

I am writing this letter to you to let you know how much I have enjoyed your class and how you have been my favorite teacher this year.

This whole year your class has been my favorite because it is the most fun and gets everyone involved. I personally like this because I like being active and playing lots of team based games and sports. The class that you take is the best and I just wanted to let u know that. (:

Also I think you are an awesome teacher altogether! I say this because you are a very straight up teacher and good at dealing with me when I am mucking around or not doing my work. Plus you are very fun but when you need your point across you can be dead serious, which is a very good combination for a teacher.

So that is all my reasons you are my favorite teacher and what I like about you.
Best of wishes for going to Australia! (: 

Yours Sincerely

Dale Barron

Celebration homework

In our family we celebrate Guy Fawkes. Every year we do this with everyone that lives at home ( me, mom and dad) . In our family we normally light them off and watch them blow up. This celebration is done all around the world by millions of people, by lighting fireworks off on the 5th of November and watching what they do. 'Guy Fawkes' was the creater of these. One day he was thinking of a way to blow up Westminster Palace and kill King James 1, so he decided to put some gunpowder under the building and try and kill him by blowing it up. At failing he got capptured and was tortued and put to death. The rules of this event are you can light them on nights leading upto the 5th but not anything after, but we do it anyways.

Here is a example of some going off.

So that is what me and my family do for the celebrations.
