I would be a mermaid fair; I would sing to myself the whole of the day; With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair; And still as I comb’d I would sing and say, “Who is it loves me? who loves not me?” I would comb my hair till my ringlets would fall, Low adown, low adown, From under my starry sea-bud crown Low adown and around, And I should look like a fountain of gold Springing alone With a shrill inner sound, Over the throne In the midst of the hall; Till that great sea-snake under the sea From his coiled sleeps in the central deeps Would slowly trail himself sevenfold Round the hall where I sate, and look in at the gate With his large calm eyes for the love of me. And all the mermen under the sea Would feel their immortality Die in their hearts for the love of me.III. But at night I would wander away, away, I would fling on each side my low-flowing locks, And lightly vault from the throne and play With the mermen in and out of the rocks; We would run to and fro, and hide and seek, On the broad sea-wolds in the crimson shells, Whose silvery spikes are nighest the sea. But if any came near I would call, and shriek, And adown the steep like a wave I would leap From the diamond-ledges that jut from the dells; For I would not be kiss’d by all who would list, Of the bold merry mermen under the sea; They would sue me, and woo me, and flatter me, In the purple twilights under the sea; But the king of them all would carry me, Woo me, and win me, and marry me, In the branching jaspers under the sea; Then all the dry pied things that be In the hueless mosses under the sea Would curl round my silver feet silently, All looking up for the love of me. And if I should carol aloud, from aloft All things that are forked, and horned, and soft Would lean out from the hollow sphere of the sea, All looking down for the love of me.=

This wasn't by me I found this on a mermaid website. I love meramids! Not like Ariel, as in like sirens.

A Siren's Pleasure The mermaid waits quietly, for a ship to come there, A ship sails near, The mermaid swiftly swims closer to the ship, Some young sailors draw closer to the boat's tip, The mermaid sings her soft song, Attracting the sailors, they come along, She starts to pull a young sailor into the water, going deeper, drowning him, he'll make a fine dish, He will not live to see the next day, without being eaten by half woman, half fish. By Victoria Holland

What is this poem about? This poem is about a mermaid. A siren. Sirens are mermaids who sing their beautiful song which lures sailors deeper into the sea, until they drown. Sirens eat them. It sounds gross I know, but these mermaids are used in Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

If I sound as if I am bragging then I'm sorry, some letters are hard to come up with.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = My Stories = = = = Jane and the Weebles = = = = Jane was just an ordinary girl, with an ordinary house, an ordinary dog and cat, and an ordinary family. Although, one day while Jane was walking around in the garden, ordinarily smelling her ordinary flowers, she saw something flying. What was it? A fly? A bee? It had to be. But no, it wasn't! She saw it had fairy like wings. = = "How un-ordinarily strange!" exclaimed Jane. Then the strange, flying, unordinary thing pinched her right on her nose. = = "Ouch! That hurt! Who did that?" said Jane. = = "Well I did of course!" exclaimed the little figure that was in front of her. He seemed angry. Jane got a clear look of the creature now. It had a pointy hat and pointy shoes, and a very big nose. "It was wearing the same clothes as a garden gnome would." thought Jane. = = "Why, you look like a garden gnome!" exclaimed Jane. = = "Garden gnome? Oh no no no, my dear girl, that pinch went straight to your head didn't it? The garden gnomes over there are much more plain than us." said the little creature. = = "Hey," said mama garden gnome, "you are a rude little weeble!" = = "WEEBLE? WHAT ON EARTH IS A WEEBLE?!" exclaimed Jane, in a panic, thinking that this was all so strange. = = "A WEEBLE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IS A GARDEN PIXIE! WE ARE UNIQUE! AND STOP STANDING ON THAT DAISY! EVER THOUGHT OF WHY I PINCHED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" screamed the angry little weeble. = = "bmud lrig, oot bmud ot wonk tahw a elbeew si. Ouy retteb hctaw tuo!!!" said the weeble. = = "Wha, wha wha wha?" said Jane, she was all confused! = = " Okay, I will give you a clue, things that seem one can be another! So you look pretty and sweet but you stepped on an innocent flower!" replied the weeble. = = = = (answer, the little weeble is speaking backwards, he means that the words are backwards so they seem confusing, but really they are just backwards. To know what the weeble said, hold a little mirror up to the computer or just turn the words around with your eyes) = = = = The little weeble, with a snap of his fingers, disappeared in a puff of dust. = = "How strange!" thought Jane. Then she followed a trail of sparkly dust that led to her ordinary treehouse. There she saw a least a ba-jillion weebles at a huge dinner table eating crumbs of bread and drinking juice. To the small weebles, a crumb of bread seemed like a huge cake! = = "How unordinary!" thought Jane. = = = = Jane disturbed the little weebles and the king weeble turned his head away from Jane, put his hand to face her huge face, and said = = "leave!" = = "But I wa..." said Jane. = = "Nu uh uh, I don't wanna hear it, just leave, yes climb down the ladder leading to the treehouse and leave." interuppted the little king weeble. So Jane climbed down the ladder and saw how dark it was getting. Jane went in to her home and sat down at the dining table with her family. = = "What is new Jane?" asked her mother. = = "Nothing, I was just smelling the flowers as I ordinarily do." answered Jane. Jane didn't think she should tell her family about the weebles in the treehouse. It felt good to know about something that nobody else knew about. = = = = After dinner that night Jane climbed into bed. = = "How am I going to get any sleep with that silly weeple, wait beeble? Oh, it is just a weeble! That pinch on my nose really hurt, why was that weeble so strong to do such good pinches?" said Jane, putting her hand over her nose. Jane tossed and turned all that night and couldn't get to sleep. = = "Great! Now I have to hit the books to get more tired!" said Jane, in an annoyed tone. In about one hour it was 1:00 a.m.. Jane jumped back into bed and turned off her night light. Finally she got to sleep. Once she woke up she had black bags under her eyes for staying up so late. = = "Jane, breakfast!" called her mother from the dining room. Jane walked into the dining room where her mother was serving toast and bagels for breakfast. = = "Good morning Jane! How did you slee...? Woah woah woah Jane! You stayed up till at least 12:00 didn't you?" said her mother looking at the black bags under Jane's eyes. = = "Jane! You have the spelling bee today! You better not muck it up!" said her mother. = = "Yes mother." said Jane. So Jane finished her breakfast, got ready for school and got on the bus. = = Once Jane got to school she saw massive posters and banners advertising the school spelling bee. = = "Oh no! I'm so tired! And everyone is counting on me and the spelling team! How are we ever going to win with me on the team? I better just try my best and not act tired. I wish I was old enough to drink coffee each morning." thought Jane. Jane memorised something, she had almost the whole day off from school so her and her spelling team could study some hard words that they might need to spell at the contest. Hopefully she would be able to study before falling asleep. = = = = Later that day it was almost time for the spelling bee. Jane felt a little bit more awake, hopefully enough to KEEP her awake. It was almost time for the spelling bee to start once the first speller of the team went up. The team decided that too many spellers might take too much time and they had one hour and eight spellers. So they only picked two of the best spellers in the group. That was Jane and Patricia. Patricia was the first up. Jane had thirty minutes to get ready before Patricia was done. Her mother, father, and younger, most annoying brother were all there. = = "Why did I myself have to come to this stupid spelling bee? You could've gotten Aunt Ella to babysitt me!" said her little brother, Tom. = = "We didn't ask her to babysitt you because you need to cheer your sister on, that's your job as her little brother. And, that is why we hid your video games. Now shhh." answered Jane's father. = = "Rats!" said Tom. Once Patricia was done, she had a total of 30 points. Now it was Jane's turn. What will happen? = = = = "Now Jane, your word is sustainability." said the judge. = = "Ummm... s-u-s-t-a-i-n-a-b-i-l-i-t-?" Jane paused, she couldn't think because she was so tired. Was she going to say e or y? She couldn't think! All of a sudden, a tiny voice whispered into her ear, = = "It's y not e!" She looked down to her shoulder. = = "What!?" she exclaimed. The audience started talking and wondering. = = "Erm, pardon? Can you finish the word or will you forfit?" asked the judge. = = "S-u-s-t-a-i-n-a-b-i-l-i-t-y! Sustainability!" said Jane smiling. The weeble on her shoulder smiled, winked and disappeared. Jane's tea and won the spelling bee! = = = = From then on, the small creature that had once, almost made Jane lose the spelling bee, helped her win it. = = Jane and the weebles became great friends, she helped them and they helped her. It was just like the weeble said, things aren't always what they seem, like for example, it looked like Jane and the weebles would become great enemies or just not get along, but they became great friends. = = = = THE END. = = = = Quote from the author: = = FINALLY!

The Story of Harrods, in London My family had a trip to London in either 2010 or 2009. Have you ever heard of Harrods? Well, Harrods is a huge shop in London. In our hotel room, my mum and I decided to go to Harrods. My brother didn't want to go because he was in the middle of a movie (pooooof!). I didn't know why he didn't want to come, but he said it was a new release! Mum and I took off for Harrods. once we got there it was a tall building. When we entered, the first thing that I remebered was a clothing store. It had clothes galore! I think that I memorize white tile floor, and white paint walls with many lights and no windows. Next we found a grocery store area. We got to a cute little area where there was a chocolate shop. It was amazing. my eyes practically lit up. I love chocolate stores! It had little mini cakes that were in the form of gifts. I think that there were small wedding like layer cakes too. But they weren't as big as you'd think they were. I really wanted to get something rare but mum settled for a small bag of fudge as a little treat for everyone. Then, I remeber a humongous toy store! It was green and I thinke ither wooden floors or red carpet. I had some pocket money to spend on something. We came across a man advertsing fake snow that you could reuse when you were done with it. I was thinking of buying that but I decided to look some more just in case there was something even better. Then we saw a teddy area. Have you ever seen Shrek (1)? Well in that there was a show with wooden dolls that sang when they came to Dulock (or something). But it was exactly the same except it was teddies! I came across a beautiful marshmellow pink bunny, it was so cute and so soft! So I bought that. I don't use it very much now but I can't resist when I see an adorable teddy bear! But then, the thing that amazed me the most, an antique doll house. The biggest one that I've seen in my whole entire life! Did I tell yuo that I'm a fan of antique furniture? Well I am. After that we left the toy store. We found a huge Christmas store with a big nutcracker standing in front of it! It was awesome in there. But in Harrods it's never too late to prepare for Christmas! Well there was more but I need to go now. Bye!

My Biography on King Henry the VIII

About Henry <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">King Henry the VIII was a BIG king. He had a huge temper, he threw huge parties and had a massive appetite. When Henry was a young man, he was handsome, tall and dreamy. He danced, jousted, wrestled, hunted and was a magnificent tennis player. He gambled and believe it or not once bet on whether a man could eat a whole cow. He was a very clever and hardworking man. He wrote books, composed songs and created the first modern navy. Unfortunately, he was also a bully who longed to be the most powerful man in all of the world. He even executed anyone who got in his way including some of his ex-wives. Henry was mostly know for marrying six times.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Marriage <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Henry is known well for marrying six times. He married Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr. Here are the stories of each of his wives: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Catherine of Aragon: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Catherine was the widow of Henry's older brother, Arthur. After being married for eighteen years Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn. So Catherine was divorced as Henry was not able to execute her because of people helping her, so Catherine was divorced. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Anne Boleyn: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Anne Boleyn was one of Catherine of Aragon's maids of honour at her wedding. Henry wrote the song Greensleeves for Anne. Some say it was because she was fond of wearing green but others joke that it was because she had the unpleasant habbit of wiping her nose on her sleeve. She was pregnant with Henry's daughter, Queen Elizabeth the 1st when he married her. After three years Henry accused Anne of cheating on him, so Anne was beheaded (for those of you who don't know please ask). <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Jane Seymour: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Jane and Henry married eleven days after Anne's execution. They had a son, Edward the Sixth, but soon after he was born Jane died. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">A little bit about Edward the Sixth: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Edward was only nine when he was crowned king of England which is quite a young age to become a monarch. Edward was intelligent and knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted the whole of England to be Protestant ( a religion). It looked as though he was going to die so his protector Lord Dudley, arranged for Lady Jane Grey to become queen. Edward agreed and three weeks later he died. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Anne of Cleves: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Anne had never even met Henry before she married him. She was recommended by Thomas Cromwell, Henry's advisor. Once Henry met her he thought that she looked like a horse and couldn't stand her at all. He was furious with Thomas so Anne was divorced. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Katherine Howard: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">The Duke of Norfolk was Katherine's uncle. After eighteen months of being married, Henry accused her of having an affair with another man. So Katherine was beheaded. Henry was an extremely jealous person. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Catherine Parr: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Catherine Parr was a kind widow. She was definitley the luckiest of the bunch because Henry died before she did, so she survived. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">by,

I love this song, it was written by King Henry the VIII for Anne Boleyn, some say it's because she was fond of wearing green, others joke that it was because she had the unpleasant habbit of wiping her nose on her sleeve. media type="youtube" key="P1RM0Lc0I9Y" width="922" height="438" = = =My love for Kings & Queens of England:= History is one of my most favourite subjects. I love learning about the different kings and queens of England and enjoy watching programmes such as The Adventures of Merlin. I love to read about folktales of England and learning about it. My most favourite vacation was going to England, London. In fact, that is where we want to go again. I enjoy listening to music such as this (Greensleeves). I also enjoy, The Nutcracker, The Flight of the Bumblebee, and The Planets by Gustav Holst. I hope to learn how to play the part of Venus from The Planets one day and wish to perfect Greensleeves. I think that the monarch of England that I know most about would have to be King Henry the VIII. I hope to write a biography about him. = = = Learning Log = = = = = =Black and Red Day was extremely fun. Room 21 raised $45 for Christchurch. The whole school altogether raised $1002 !

I can't wait to cook! __= = = = = =// 20, May, 2011 //= =// Today Room 21 went to Stardome. It was very fun. We had some morning tea, then we played on the playground, next we went in to the theatre and watched some movies on space, afterwards we looked around the exhibits, then we went to the space room and learned that Pluto is now a dwarf planet, after that we ate our lunch, then we went on a long walk. I had an enjoyable day. It was a great experience, a lot of the kids in Room 21 had been there before, but today was my first time. =) //= = = = = = = =__ 7, July, 2011 __= =__ Today I started doing the border for my report.

I'm very excited about finishing my second border, I can't wait to see what it looks like! __=

//4, October, 2011// //Tomorrow there will be a big dance production. I am very nervous. Room 21's song is They Don't Care About Us by Michael Jackson. To me it is very cool, I never really was a fan of him until I heard our song but I'm not very fond of the lyrics, you know "Shot dead gun head everybody gone dead." That's just not very pleasant. But I'm really excited about the dance. Room 21 is wearing a big peace sign on a black shirt, black pants, a cap with a black peace sign and a wristband. Anything that isn't black is camoflauge. Boys and girls both have one thing that's not the same. Girls have a camoflauge triangle skirt, and boys have an armband. I can't wait for tomorrow! But at the same time, I have butterflies in my tummy!//

Got a yellow senior belt... And CRACKED MY NECK! Here's how it happened... We were practicing backward rolls. I know what you're thinking, easy right? No, not really. In martial arts there's a different kind of foward and back roll. It's because instead of smacking your head on the concrete, in an attack situation, you roll on you SHOULDER instead of your HEAD. That's the foward roll. The backward one. 1. Start in a crouch on the ground 2. Fall back 3. Smack your hands on the ground 4. Roll back using the power your hands gave you. Well it was a little worse than just a cracked neck. Before cracking it, I fell backwards to do the roll, and I went numb and fell backwards, on my back, got all dizzy and then I started doing the other one (back roll). I fell onto the matt, and did the roll, but, when I was meant to smack my hands on the ground, I just... didn't! I hurt my back, got up, felt dizzy with an ever so sore neck plus the top of my back. OWWWWWWWW! Still sore now, :'( hope I feel better tomorrow, but my good news is that I GOT MY NEXT BELT! :D **

I just knew they were 3-D shapes. I knew about the cylinder, the pyramid, the sphere, the cube, and the cone. Though, now I know that was nowhere near a lot of knowledge on geometric shapes. Now, I have learned about stuff like square-based pyramid, octagonagal prisims, triangular-based pyramid, and so on and so on. I have also learned about faces (the sides on a 3-D shape I think), vertisies (where two faces meet to form an angle), appexes (where faces meet to form a point), and edges ( I don't need to explain, you know what edges are! Just so you know what edges are, if walk one more step you fall off, okay?).

But before we could start our graphic novels, Mrs.G thought that some children weren't very confident in drawing cartoons so she chose a little movie of a happy guy on activity TV so we could learn how to draw a bit more. After three or four more lessons on cartooning we could start planning our graphic novels in our draft books and then raft the pictures in our art books because we had a lot more space in them. But now we have finished our graphic novels and they're up on the wall. Now I know much more about cartoning than I used to.
