i love self directed learning because it is a happier more relaxed learning space.We did drama yesterday and it was really great and fun. We had some fun while practising but we also finished with a well reahersed peformance.I wish we could do more but there are a few people holding us back. It is term 3 now and we pretty much do SDL all the time now. It is SO fun! the checklist we have is great because we know how much we have done and how much we need to do. I would never ever want to go back to teacher directed. =====

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL By Darcy Bakes

Tomorrow is my first day of school.I was exited until my brother Jackson told me that school is a living nightmare.He finished school last and doesn't have a job and lives in the basement. I didn't believe him at first but then he told me that he's never told a lie. So here is what he told me...

There is no school bus so you have to sprint all the way to school.When you get to school you have to do a really hard to get in the front doors,and that's the easy part. The boy teachers are skeletons and the girl teachers are witches.If you get an answer wrong you have to eat a bowl of dog food (you have to eat it like a dog)The worst bit is playtime...At the canteen the only thing on the menu is fried goldfish.Where the oval should be there is an ocean full of sharks and octopus.You have to do that five days a week for seven years until you get into secondary school which is worse.Mum says not to worry but I can't.Finally after hours of lying in bed,I fall asleep.

Now it is my first day of school,at least Mum offered to drive me to school.I got out of the car and I couldn't see any skeletons.The oval was lush and green.Then I walked in the front door without doing a maths test.I got an answer wrong and the teacher said "good try." For lunch their we're chocolate muffins.This was definitely the best day of my life.

We have the grand final this week in footy. I am really exited and we get to run through a banner. I have been practicing and hopefully we can get over the line. The C's have their final before ours and they play Strathfieldsaye (so do we.) Wish us good luck!

One day I was walking down the to the river. I got the there and the fish were out and about so I quickly went back home and grabbed my fishing rod from home. I set up my rod and cast in the river. Once I got bored I dragged the line over to a little dead tree and planted the rod in it. it was pretty sturdy so I ran back home to grab a chair.

5 Minutes later.

I got the chair and I caught the the sight of my bike.I grabbed some food and a bag and rode as fast as I can to my rod. It had a few little nibbles so I pulled it in it had about 40-50cm red fin a great catch. I checked were the hook was it was well in its mouth. I stuck the rod in to the ground. So I ran as fast as I could to get a bucket. All of the things that could happen I trip and some thing was pulling my leg it was paul. I said go get a bucket you fool now. So i got up and went back to my rod the line was lose. I ran to the shed door and when paul came out i put my foot out and tripped paul. After that I walked back to the river and the line was pulling so a yelled to paul get me that bucket I picked up my rod. And started of slow I gave it some line and lifted the rod and flick the spinner and wound the line in and he was the but a lot bigger then last time he was a least a meter now. I put him down in the bucket and took him home and the weight of the fish was at least 5.5 - 7.5kg. I watched my dad scale the fish and went away when he gutted the fish. After that I went for a walk to paul’s house it was at the and of the street. There was a railway behind his house. sometimes we put old coins on the track and then flick up the coin went. It came down half bent. To play a joke on the shop keeper we would take it and try and get something. One time it worked they took the coin. Must a been a first time job but later paul said he saw the man put in his pocket. Once i got to paul’s house he was waiting out the front. He didn’t seem to happy so I asked him “do you have any old coins” “yeah got a few old coins in the back” said paul. “can we go get the coins” I said. paul ran to the back of his house grabbed the coins and headed to the train track. I said “were are you doing follow me”. “why” he said to me with a puzzled face. “just come with me and hurry”.

Later when I got they the water was slowing down. The fish were gone and there were no people around. so I i slipped a coin into the water and thought that if the water change the the size of the fish why not the coin. There was no signs of growth in the coin but there were signs of more coins so we grabbed them we found the main coin i took it out but soon i was at least in a foot of coins. paul ran back to his house and grabbed a bag and raced back to the river and later we were on the side of the river counting all the coins. paul said “are we going to split the coins” “how many are there” I said. “least 200”. Thats worth $20 dollars. I thought if we dig a hole under the water and cover it with fishing nets and mud. so i said to paul meet me here after footy. And bring lots of fishing nets we will need after we finish. We part our ways and leave it at that. There was a lot to do and we didn’t have much time at hand. After school.

Once the school bell rang i ran to paul. Then were rang to the river and i grabbed a shovel and two fishing nets to collet the money. I get to the river paul is gone he was not to be seen.

To be continued It is term 3 now and we are learning how to look after our physical, mental and spiritual health. I am on thirty five points and it has been really enjoyable for me. My goal is 90 points... wish me luck!
