Henry Howeld age 3 entered into youth GB gymnastics team!

Howeld age 3 was the only child under the age of 7. The GB team will be setting off for the Sydney hosted youth Olympics in may. Specializing in floor routine, he is the youngest member of any announced squad in this Olympics. But some critics have pronounced his inclusion in the squad to be a mistake and a publicitity stunt

Dream of calaforniacationnnnnnnn

“Californication”

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind’s elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It’s Californication

It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It’s Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon’s not far away
It’s Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody’s been there
and
I don’t mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl’s guitar
They’re just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you’re craving

[Chorus]

Romeo and Juliet: Assessment Results

Over-All grade: 6A

  1. Analysis of Shakespeare’s Language: 6A – Confident understanding of a range of language devices, their purpose and effect.
  2. Timeline: 6A – detailed and perceptive.
  3. Original Play: 6A – Effective employment of a range of Shakespearian devices in an original context.
  4. Essay:
    • Reading Grade: 6A – A sophisticated appreciation of the lingustic, stylistic, generic and historical context of the play. You challenged yourself to source your own examples and make original points, and in doing so made it clear that your understanding was deep and subtle. Be careful not to make claims about Shakespeare that you are not certain of – like his tendency to use a narrator or refer to the theme of fate.
    • Writing Grade: 5A – Well structured, with lapses in style and mechanical accuracy. There is a high level of demand in analytical writing to use standard English forms. While your use of idiom (such as “peaking out”) was vivid and denoted your enthusiasm, it was also jarring in the context of a formal analysis.
