Reading Goals

My Reading Goals for Term 1 & 2, 2016:

[Screenshot of Console goes here]

What do good readers do? Improve their skills in deciphering the letters into words into sentences. Other wise known as ‘reading’.

Look at your Reading Consoles to answer the questions below:

What did you do well? The surface went well, I am guessing that means the first sort of questions, and the beginnings of work.

What didn’t go so well? Assumptions. My assumptions of what would happen later in the book, but that doesn’t make much of a difference, does it?

What are your next steps? To help myself assume things by re-reading what I read so I can guess easier.

How will you get there? (You might google for websites/ resources that can help you learn or achieve some of your goals) What I just said, re-reading the work.

Writing Goals

My Writing Goals for 2016:

[Screenshot of Console goes here]

Why do we do writing at school? So that we learn the subject better to help us develop it in later stages, to help our reading level as well, and because in most jobs you need the ability to write.

What did you do well? My punctuation was on point, as was my sentence structure.

What didn’t go so well? Overall structure.

What are your next steps? To put my paragraphs in the right places, meaning better structure

How will you get there? (You might google for websites/ resources that can help you learn or achieve some of your goals) Practice.

"He told me about our worlds. That the world I used to live in was fake. We were someone's play toys, tossed to the side. Like those creepy dolls from horror movies. Except we knew they were alive from the start. But still fake. “You must choose carefully. Your subconscious thinks good and bad of each decision.” So I thought for a few minutes. It was just like those ‘would you rather’ games I used to play in the human world. I came to a decision. Then I fell. And as I did, I wondered if I was ever getting the choice again..."  


"Darkness… That’s all I remember from the fall. It was only cold and dark. Just like the world was about to be..."

Weekly Writing: Moment in time

Moment in time:

“Come on! It’s a awesome place!” My friend Jack says. I think for a second before saying

“Okay, let’s go. Just as long as it’s safe.”

“It is now let’s go!” He replies pulling on my arm. So we start our adventure.

We push through my jungle-like backyard. After pushing through some branches, leaping over fallen tree trunks and crossing a stream, we reach the entrance. “I didn’t expect a door!” I say. Although I wouldn’t really call it a door. It has planks on the ground near it with easy to spot places where they used to be. The hinges look rusty, but the golden ‘W.H’ stays without a scratch. “Go on Bernie! Open it!” Says Jack. So I do.

Inside is what seems to be a natural wonder. There are dirt walls that go 15 feet into the air, and are covered in this weird vine I’ve never seen before. I look up to see the roof made out of the vines, with enough gaps every so often, that there is light. I look straight ahead and realize it’s a huge tunnel! We both look at each other then race each other to the end. I’m winning, But he’s catching up! Just as I’m about to reach the end I stop. If I had taken 1 more step, I would be plummeting off a cliff by now. Then I realise something as my friend rushes past me. With one last “AAAAGH!”

I walk home in tears, never to talk about that place again, I run into my mothers arms when I get home. “Where were you? And where is Jack?” She asks. I just cry into her shoulder.
