My Teacher

I would like to nominate Ms Cottie as the best teacher because she makes learning fun and always puts a smile on my face. She has really in depth conversations with learners and always encourages us to do our best. She has a bright, bubbly and funny personality and lights up the room when she comes into class. She is a fun teacher to have and i always look forward to her classes. (Even if she is giving a test!)

My book review

I really enjoyed the book "Fallen" by Lauren Kate. The book was fascinating and kept me wanting to turn the page. I was just a bit confused as I think she left things unexplained and it didn't really make the story make sense? If she was trying to use the cliff hanger format I don't think she used the technique well. Also some bits of the story dragged and I lost interest at times but overall I would give the book a three out five.

The greatest moment in olympic history


The greatest moment in Olympic history was the Jamaican bobsledding team because at first every one thought it was a joke. After all, how could Jamaica, a country known for its year-round sunshine, possibly have a team in bobsledding, an event normally won by teams from places like Switzerland and Norway? Although, during the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, the Jamaican bobsled team (Devon Harris, Dudley Stokes, Michael White, Samuel Clayton, and Aiden van de Mortel) and their coach (Howard Siler) held their own, winning respect and admiration from their peers. Celebrated in the film "Cool Runnings," the snowless country managed to put together a decent bobsled team, and in doing so reminded the world that the Olympics aren't just about sheer athleticism--they're about drive, determination, and heart.
