Next week i am going on Peak Adventure and have chosen white water rafting on the Mitta Mitta River in Victorian Alpine region. I chose this activity because ui have experienced it before and it was so good i wanted to try it again. I think that the most challenging part of this camp will be the trying to stay warm as it is forecasted to be very wet and below zero at night. The most challenging part of the trip will be getting to sleep on the bus and not getting too bored as it s a very long trip over to the river. The best part of the adventure will be just hanging around with my mates along with the rafting on the river, and watching people falling in the river! I think that it is important to challeng yourself and get out of your comfort zone every now and then as if you dont you will never know your full potential at something. Also after initially fearing what you are about to do you many really enjoy the experience.
Cheers Jack.

On Thursday in class we began learning about William Shakespeare. Before Thursday i had never read any poetry by Shakespeare but a had heard about his plays such as Macbeth. I think the reason why i hadn't read any of Shakespeare's work is that it is hard to understand. I also have never watched any of Shakespeare's plays as they usually run for a very long time and there are not alot of productions in the country of his work.
I have never read any of Shakespeare's play mainly through choice as it would be quite challenging and boring, also the school that i used to attend did not make us read any of his plays or work in English.
I have only ever watched one modern movie of Shakespeare's work which was 10 things that i hate about you i think that this was quite a good movie but did not relate very well to Shakespeare's work.
Since we began looking at Shakespeare last Thursday i have learn much about Shakespeare's work and life. I did not know that he had written so many plays and scripts for theater companies and for himself. I was also quite surprised to find out that he did not attend schooling for as long as he could have as his grammar and spelling was very good.
I don't believe that i would take part in the play that Mr s is putting on later in the year purely as i am not a drama sort of person and i have never taken interest in the play beforehand which would make acting much easier.
Mentioning the play Macbeth in a theater is bad luck as it is believed that if said a bad performance will be put on by the actors and people will be disappointed. To counter this you have to go outside spin around 3 times while saying blasphemy.
Cheers for now.

Hey fellas it's Rambo here again!
The blog that i have most recently read was called BOOKS FOR BOYS and was written by an author called Max.
I think that Max has started his blog to tell people about his work which is advertising books to young boys.
I think that the slogan "readers are the leaders others follow" means that if lots of kids are reading that the kids that dont will think it is cool and join or follow on.
I think that this blog has been designed so that anyone can read and enjoy the blog. More so i think that Max has designed this blog for older teenagers and parents who may want to find out more about his work or learn about some of the books that he is talking about.
The entry that i read was written on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 and was called ,Speaking in Indiana.
This entry was about max's visit to a school where he talked to 90 year 5 students on friday the 13th. The mix in with the day Max talked about some scary books and played some scary music. Max then also had the childeren write a story of their won and read it out.
There was not any particular piece of information that i found very interesting during this blog but it was a very well rounded piece of writing that was quite interesting..
I did not feel inclined to post a response on Max's site because it was quite a popular blog and had many comments as it was. I also felt that Max had explained everything very well and that i did not need to ask him any questions.
Well thats it for now thanks for looking at my blog!
