RE: Class T-shirt Design

Hi guys,

I’ve gotten some feedback saying that you all like the monkey on my T-shirt… unfortunately, because of obvious copyright issues, I cannot use that image :)

But… I’ve done the next best thing :) I’ve created a little picture (which I hope you all will like!) and put it into the design of the T-shirt :) Check it out:

Feedback and comments welcome :)

RE: Welcome to the English Category!

Hi all,

As I won’t be taking you all for Literature anymore *sob*, I’ve started another category called “English” :) Here, you can find some information about what you’ve studied in class :)

Also feel free to discuss some questions or things you’re not sure about with your classmates and myself :)

So, for my first post, just a quick one on the homework you have to do:

Write an original story about “The Class And The Evil Teacher”

  • Use the character/ setting writing format we learnt in class
  • Use adverbs and adverbials
  • Be creative and make your story interesting
  • Minimum word: 350 word
  • Hand in on Monday, 9th February

That’s all for now :) Enjoy your weekend!

RE: Total Defence Song

Dear all,

Here’s the lyrics to the Total Defence Musical: “It’s All Up To Us”

Sunny island in the sun

Where our children live and play and run

Our little piece of paradise

Where we live the stories of our lives

 

Colourful city in the blue

Where all our dreams can come true

Our sanctuary from the storms

Where we’re protected; safe and warm

 

Though the times are uncertain; the future unknown

Just remember: you’re never alone

 

It’s all up to us (it’s up to us)

It’s up to you and me

To keep what’s ours strong and free

 ‘Cause this is the place I want to be

 

It’s all up to us (it’s up to us)

I know I can depend on you and me

Everything we do brings us closer to

A better tomorrow (a brighter tomorrow)

A greater tomorrow (a fantastic tomorrow)

We can make our dreams come true

 ‘Cause it’s all up to us

And thanks to the 20 who volunteered :) We’ll have a nice rehearsal tomorrow :)
