Me In Three

In my life I have a lot of things that explain me, but three things describe me the best. These are my fishing rod, my tennis racket and my ocarina. They all are different things and they also describe my differently. I am an active person and a musical person.

The first thing I would like to introduce to you is my fishing rod. It is about a meter and a half and it’s fully black colored. I got it from my dad and he was the one who encouraged me to fish. The first day he taught me practice throwing in a small pond right outside our backyard. After some frustration and confusion, I got it right and I was off to real fishing. There are two things I hate the most about fishing. Its when the fishing line gets jammed, and when the hook is in my finger. Fishing was almost the only thing I did over the summer because it was so fun to fish. It is very exciting when suddenly a fish is hooked, then the rod bends and the line vibrates. Then I suddenly get become focused and try my best to get the fish. When I see the fish coming out of the water, I g

ted. One night, my friend and I spent three hours catching 13 mackerels outside our home. I was very proud of both of us. Later that summer, in our cabin, my grandma and I caught one cod each. That was cool. It was also very fun when I caught a 50cm long mackerel and then took a picture with it. Even so, fishing was fun and it was a great summer.

The second thing I love the most is my tennis racket because I play tennis more than anything else. I am very interested

in watching Federer play and I like learning from him on TV. I enjoy playing tennis, but I have no interest in becoming a pro. My goal is to be able to beat my family and peers. I am still working my way there, but the goal will be

conmplete. At first I just started to play a little, then I became crazy about

it. I worked really hard throughout last year reaching a higher level in tennis

. After a while I had improved so much that my tennis

coach told me to get a better racket, and because now I was ready for one. I bought this racket from him and it was so cool! It is called Babolat Pure Drive and it’s black, white and blue. Nadal has also used this

racket for a match against Soderling, so its a good one. Since I bought it, I became the special guy in tennis class and I carried it around all the time. I was so happy to get it that I thought it was a gift from heaven.

The last thing I want to share with you is my ocarina. It is an blowing instrument made of clay. Blowing into the mout

hpiece gives a soft sound almost like a pan flute and this sound really makes me relaxed and happy. I have many different instruments because I really like playing music. I was even in band for two years at ISKL. This ocarina is now my favorite instrument. It was bought in Melbourne, Australia this summer. I was at a handicraft market and I was really bored. Suddenly, my dad touched shoulder and told me they had ocarinas there. I was so happy because I had searched everywhere on the Internet to find one. And there it was, the perfect one. It was brown and had four holes in it. I bought it and it was in my hand. It was better than best. I never thought I would ever see one. It came with a leather strap so I could hang it around my neck. I started playing right away. I am really into this videogame called Zelda and I think the music there is so beautiful because it is played on the ocarina.

So these are the three most important items to describe me. It shows what I really do during my free time and they all represent me. I really enjoy getting to own these wonderful things. They are always going to be memories glued into my head, and I would never replace them.

My final draft of my name

My name

My name is a very rare and special name. It’s Gard. My name is similar to a famous Norwegian Viking named Gerd. In 1999, the year I was born, the name Gard was growing in its popularity around the whole world. Seven hundred and fourty-four people are named Gard in the world. In the Norwegian language, its meaning is ‘fence’ or ‘enclosure’.

When I was 7 or 8, I wanted to change my name because I thought it was dumb. I wanted to change it to Bryal. He was a cool guy my cousin told me about and I really wanted to be like him. I was not much of a fan of my name because people teased me by saying, “Gard the guard, please Gard us.” Even though a guard is strong, I still liked to be called by my name.

I only like being called as ‘Gardy’ by people I know well. Other than that, I prefer being called Gard. The person who decided my name was my sister. She said my name should be either Gard or Matts. Finally, she ended up choosing Gard instead. I like my name now but, did not like it before but now I do. I have no plans changing my name to something else when I get older.

Last 6th Grade Blog ever!

I will really miss 6thgrade because we did so many fun things like Pi day, World math day, Malaysia Week and other field trips. The sad thing is also that so many people are leaving. In 7th grade I am going to have fewer of my old friends around, but I am sure I will make new ones.

What I am most proud of is the letter I made during "The White Mountains" unit, because when I did it my dad just asked me a few questions and then I wrote down a lot and that helped. It also made me very happy when I saw my grade the next day. I wrote very much by just answering a few questions and giving examples and evidence. It made it a lot easier to do homework when I just had a few questions to answer. Otherwise I could easily get stuck on my assignment like a blogpost, google doc, note taking sheet, etc.

I have had 2 very challenging assignments in 6th grade. Ancient Egyptian Dairy and the first lit circle I ever did. The dairy was hard because we had to do three dairy entries and we had to do note taking sheets, drafts and our finals for all 3 of them. I also found my first lit circle very complicated because I had never done that much work in only one assignment before. I found it very hard to do because the book I was reading called "Call It Courage" was very confusing.

I learned that throughout 6th grade I could write a lot and do things well if I was organized and concentrated a little bit more. Even though I still need to improve those 2 things I still have grown and improved in both areas. My organizational skills are better because now my locker is cleaned up and now I finish my assignments on time. I have also become better at concentrating by actually not having to ask anyone" What are we doing again?" My growth has helped me become a better student at school and if these 2 things gets better in 7th grade, it will make it even easier in school next year.

I think that my behavior in class was satisfactory, but sometimes Mrs. Narsiman has had to split me and my friend, if we were chatting too much. By the end of this year I think I actively participate in class and try my best when it comes to homework and in class work. Actually, my organizational skills are satisfactory at the moment because I manage to finish almost everything on time. I put a lot of effort into all of my work but I have had some issues getting started with it. But otherwise I do my best, so I would give myself "satisfactory".

I plan to become very organized in 7th grade and get good grades because it makes it easier in school and it is more motivating when it comes to doing homework. To finish things on time, hand them in before the deadline and making sure I do my best, will be my targets for next year. I also have to be more organized when it comes to remembering my school papers and all the supplies for class.

I also plan to improve my effort on getting started. I always do my best, but I now have a goal to actually start the minute I open the document. I will try not to think so hard and take such a long time, just to start on something very easy to do.

I would like to tell the teachers that they are all very awesome and that they all have helped me with mostly everything in 6th grade. I am also going to do my best to complete the goals I have set for grade 7 and get good grades and make sure I do my best with any assignment I get.

I want to tell the class of 2018 that middle school is going to be the greatest thing ever. They will get the best teachers no matter which teacher they are going to have. Pi day and many awesome field trips. They also will of course love Malaysia Week!!! The second best thing with middle school is the most amazing MS parties! I think that the new grade 6 will say the same thing and I think they will love the first year of MS.

Blogpost #5

Dear friends,

I am in the White Mountains right now with Henry and a new friend of mine, Jean-Pole. I met this guy in France since that is where the mountains are. I was really sad when I left you guys because I did not want to get capped. It was scary and I didn't really want to be brainwashed and an adult. The journey there was a very difficult and challenging way. But thanks to Ozymandias we got a map and he told me about the fake but real-looking caps. He is a vagrant and he helped me a lot. I just had to leave Wherton because of the capping and the tripods. The capping was very scary and I wanted to keep a free mind. Henry also joined me because the night I left he woke up and wanted to come. Luckily, I met the vagrant, Ozymandias who told me about the White Mountains and so I decided to leave. On my trip I visited a castle and I had fallen in love with a girl named Eloise in France. Since we stayed there for a while we went to watch knights battle with other knights and the queen and her daughter which was Eloise and I watched them fight. When I was with Eloise in the castle I learned to speak a little French. After a while we had to leave of course because we were going to the White Mountains. We met many tripods but nothing happened to me or any of us. So we are all fine. In France in the railway station in the city of ancients (Paris) we found some grenades and I brought them with me for any dangerous situations. During this journay I made friends with Henry. We stopped fighting except when we were chased by a herd of sheeps when I got badly hurt. Then I got angry at him because if we did not run away I would not have gotten injured in my leg. I feel very brave to actually make it there at the age of 13. I have learned new survival skills and I have changed a lot during this journey. And I actually survived the journey. This is all because of Ozymandias and if he did not tell me this, I would have been capped and never fallen in love with Eloise or gone on this cool and drenching journey and maybe never made friends with Henry nor Jean-Pole.

Take care and I hope to reunite with you folks soon

Love Will
