Honor's Writing Award

In the past, I did not like writing. Whenever Mr. Naidoo gave us a writing task, I was always grumpy because I just hated writing. Mr. Naidoo did lots of writing in small bits like paragraph writing using the hamburger model and I enjoyed that. I also liked the speed writing of sentences. We have also been learning lots of new vocabulary. I gradually became more confident and I actually started enjoying writing. I was thrilled when I received the Boow Award for the much improved writer in the class. I think  it had a lot to do with my attitude. If I can do it, anyone can.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink

I added a picture to this proverb. I think it's a great proverb for students, They need to know that teachers can give them the best advice and show them what to do, but cannot do the work for them.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch

Lots of people decide the final score or result before the event. This can be disappointing , because the score may not turn out the way you like it. It's  better to be patient and wait for the end and then celebrate, rather than celebrating before the win.
