Dear Santa

The Christmas season is upon us and so is the time to write letters to Santa. I know, I know, you don't write letters to Santa anymore. Today you are going to write a letter to Santa (who is Mrs H).

• I want you to tell me what you are asking for this Christmas season. You also need to tell me why you think you are deserving of this.... with some detail please.
• Then I want you to dedicate a part of this letter to being giving. You are going to choose to give something to someone. Again I want you to explain why you want to do this....with detail again.
• Begin your letter with "Dear Santa" and end with your name.
• Have fun yet be reflective and serious in your answers at the same time.

Ironic Experience

Listen to/read the lyrics of "Ironic" by Alanis Morisette and then reflect an ironic experience of your own. Be descriptive in your entry then check out your classmates responses on their blogs.

An old man turned 98
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon, two-minutes too late

And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride and you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
A little too ironic
Yeah, I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride and you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't taske
And who would've thought it figures

And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And yeah, life has a funny, funny way...of helping you out
Helping you out

A Big Win!

You buy a lottery ticket and win a million dollars. You think your life is set for good now. Is it though? Think about that, what would you do with a million dollars?

• Would you enjoy frivolously;
• play smart and invest
  
• set your family and friends up?

Imagine this happens to you....what will you do with your new found cash?

Spirit Week

Showing your spirit is an encouraged activity in our school. What is opinion on the idea of spirit week. Feel free to write about your likes and dislikes; pros and cons; how is builds spirit and morale; or how it is a complete waste of time.
