It was a sunday night, and as per usual I was half asleep on the couch in front of the television and all of a sudden I awoke with a startle, I couldn’t believe my eyes! There seemed like some kind of alien was abducting a child around 8-10 years old. Was that, was that my little brother T-J?! I haven't seen him in years! “We will do everything we can” promised N.A.S.A.

Fast forward one day, I made my way to Washington D.C, where the N.A.S.A Headquarters is located.

The story isn't finished yet.

This was written with Me (Riki), Kade, and Liam.

I think this term I've done quite well with my spelling.

But I want to improve on my Hand Writing.

Goal Setting Term One

Goal Setting Term One

My first goal is to get better at my Multiplication. For an example I would like to get better at my 6, 7, 8, & 9 times tables. I have learned most if not all of my 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 times tables. To complete this goal I could go to Mr Acton, Mum, or Dad. And I could also be tested on my Multiplication every Monday and Thursday evening.

For my second goal I would also like to get better at my Writing. I could complete this goal by going to Mum and Dad. I also could complete this goal by practicing every Monday evening.

For something I'm good at I think it's Inquriy and Spelling in a way. If I needed help I could go to Mum. If I needed help I could go to Mum. And also I could practice 5 minutes every Wedenesday.

For a goal outside of school it's photography. More specifically taking photos and videos of trains with my camera and tripod. But in the Far North we don't have any trains sadly.
