Hi to all the Room5ians who know that this mean the world to us.

instructions for reliever

i will be away tomorrow and probably wednesday also.

please politely tell the reliever that i have left you instructions on the blog so you need to see it in class.

please also tell Seb that i won't be in to meet with his mum as planned. [don't worry - saying that won't get him kidnapped or anything]

everyone needs to look at the post about the famous influential people and put together a small presentation on their choice. it can be done anyway you like. perhaps as a fast fact card mobile like the ones hanging above my desk.
it IS compulsory.

name the person. say what their great achievements were. say why you think they are one of the most influential people to have contributed to human knowledge or understanding or technical ability. justify your choice. only a few paragraphs, a picture and some references are required.

info on the famous influential people as listed in the post i made earlier is available online or through our library. ask mrs kneebone if you need to find good reference books.
it is due this friday at 3pm. it doesn't have to be long, but it does have to be top QUALITY.
if you have any questions ask the reliever or a student who gets what i mean.
you can ask questions here also...

any jobs you fancy?

when i was your age i really wanted to be a wildlife documentary maker and primatologist/zoologist. i was fascinated by the natural world, particularly animals, and i enjoyed wildlife docos on tv. i learnt a lot from being interested and just observing or finding out for myself through books, etc. we had no computers and the internet didn't exist.
sadly i never really pursued it because i didn't really get encouraged to follow my passion. advice was given with the best intentions, and it made sense in many ways, but it was to follow things i had no interest in. the down side of that was that i spent at least a decade of my adult life farting around doing jobs i didn't like until i eventually got the courage to study things i liked at uni and found myself doing this cool job. however, i would rather have been a film maker cartoonist zoologist.
what are your passions and interests that might lead to a career? remember, you will and can change what you do as you go through life. your future will hold many amazing possibilities - there are already so many more things you can do than were possible when i was growing up. the world is your oyster! listen to your heart and dare to dream 8>)
