Which story did you enjoy the most? Why?
The story I enjoy the most is the Daedalus and Icarus, we saw was good and sad at the same time. I enjoy Daedalus and Icarus,because it told me a lot of info about when the father told his son when they were flying with the wings the father collected and made wings out of them for both of then. The father said to his son to stay close and never go to high and never go to low because if you go to high the sun will melt the wax from the wings because with wings we connected with wax. If you go to low the ocean breeze will lower you so you can drown because your wings are light and the breeze is strong so that will lower you to the ocean. That is why the father told the son to stay close and never go high to the sun and low to the ocean.
Was it the characters or the story that you enjoyed?
It was the story that I enjoy because it was very interesting to me because when the old Greek was like the narrator for the hole movie. It was good movie because it tells me that what happen to the nephew and the son when they died and I was a little sad when the son died but when the nephew died it was just an accident about his nephew's death. So I only like the movie is the dog because he was talking and you don't see that very offend that is what I liked about the movie.
In thinking of the themes in these stories, what do they have in common?
All of the movies that we saw was only two movies that we saw and they all have in common is that they all relate of myth Greek stores and they were very interesting movies. I think that is they have in common.
I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free. Rosa Parks

End of the Year!
In the words of Homer Simpson " The end is near". After 164 days of freedom, choice, stress and homework we've all made it to last 3 weeks of grade 6.
So many memories,the first year of grade 6; locks & lockers~ panic and frustration, spirit week, Malaysia Week, assessment , grades, bake sales, Ancient Egyptian diaries, team celebrations and more!
The grade 7 teachers can't wait to meet you all in August, so to help them to get to know you, they have asked that you reflect on the year; both academically and work habits, as well as set some goals for grade 7. Remember your blog from grade 6 will move with you to grade 7, in a way it also becomes a mini portfolio of you as a learner. And even if you're leaving ISKL, this digital memory will travel with you forever.
In a well structured blog post, take the time to reflect on the following (Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as you can.)
1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.
One of the work that I have done and I think I am most proud of and that I think that I learn well will be my lit circles because we were in groups and we had to read the book and write about what the book is all about. That helps us know when we are reading we also learning what is going on in the story. So I think I am most proud of that because I think I work hard by learning and reading so I can be a better reader. Plus we did lots of lit circles because we did them for different books so we should know how to do all of these kinds of lit circles.
2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
Well I think that one of the greatest challenges is for me will be the lit circles because when we were reading the book I was not so well by understand the book that I have been reading. When we had to write full paragraphs I was not so good at that I was writing full pargraphs because in the start when we were started the lit circles and I would write 2 or 3 sentences because I would not really know what is going on in the book. So I think that the lit circles are one of the challenges work that I might have to think hard so I learned how to write full paragraphs so that is why I am good at writing.
3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
Well I think that when we are learning new things in class I think that I did a good job by learning how to do things the right way so I learn how to do hard things but they may be hard but I still work hard on things that I may be not good at hard work but I never give up on the work that I am doing. So I think that is what I learn about me as a learner so there are different ways for em to learn what I will be working on for the whole year.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):
a) Behavior
Could be improved
By not talking as much and when I talk a lot I would miss out something important and I would be asking questions what I should do what kind of work I should learn how to do. Also I could work on is not bossing people around because when they are not doing there work I get mead because they are not doing there work so I have to tell them what to do and my teacher dose not like when I tell my friends what to do when I am in a group. When I am not even in a group I still tell them to do there work sometimes I even don't get my work done either. So I think that is 2 things that my behavior that I could improve in till the end of the year is over.
Satisfactory
When I am doing my work I am doing good sometimes but some of the work that I do can be a little bit hard but that is why my teacher helps me finish my work. So that is why I think I am a little not very stable on doing some work that can be a little hard for me that maybe that I don't understand very well that is why I have help form my teacher. I think that is what my satisfactory is.
5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.
The first one that I learning for my goal is remember to turn in my homework because in 6 grade I forget sometimes to turn in my work for Hum class. So I got to work in my homework for 7 grade because if I don't I could not get a good grade because in 7 grade the work will be harder and I will sometimes forget to turn in the homework that is why I need that for one of my goals. The other goal for 7 grade is taking more notes for tests so I can get a good grade on that. So I would need to do is leson and make sure when I take notes I need to study them hard so I can do well on a test. So I think that is one of the other goals I could work on.
6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
Well in class I do talk a lot and I think that I would like to tell you so you know and you would not need to tell me to be quite and I should know that already. That could be one of the things that my teacher could know about me when I am in 7 grade. Another one could be that I might need some help on my work so maybe I think that my teacher could help me on that so I am not too confuse on what I need to help on.

7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year?
My Favorite activity lesson is work on things with a group because I think that I work better with a group or a partner so we both can hear each other ideas and we can figer out what would be the answer so that would be a good lesson for me is so I can work with other people and I would understand better.
What did you enjoy about it? I enjoy about it is that I have fun learning with other people listening to what they say so we both get to shear our ideas and we will both be happy learning what others say about what we are leaning about.

8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on? I think we could be working on longer would be lit circles because when we share out ideas with the group we are telling each other what has been happening on in the book. So I like to spend more on that because it gives me a chance to tell better what I have read and write better and not make it confusing so I could make it less confusing for the rest of the group so they understand better what I am trying to tell them.
9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
One of them is when you are stuck on something make sure that you can always relies on you teacher because he or she will always be their for lunch and even after school so you can ask them to help you to understand the homework our the work that you did when you don't understand they will be their to help you. So when you are stuck don't freak out your teachers are their to help you that is why they sing up for this job so they can help other students for help when they need it.

Last White Mountains
You have now become Will , you are triumphant and have reached the White Mountains. You decide to write a letter to your family and the citizens of Wherton telling them about your journey.
• Explain what you now understand that convinced you to leave to leave Wherton.
• What you have learned about society and life, the importance of freedom and choice.• Explain what you now understand that convinced you to leave to leave Wherton.
Dear Family and Friends,
Hey, it is Will and if you are wondering about me I am okay and safe. How are all of you doing? I hope you are well. I bet you are wondering a few things about where I am and what I am doing. I would like to tell you about my long journey and where I went. I can't tell you exactly where I am in case this letter falls into the wrong hands. What I can tell you is that the place I headed and am right now is safe and people are free.
The goal when I left Wherton was to escape to an area that was free from Tripods. The reason to leave was because I didn't want to end up like Jack. I was afraid of loosing myself. Jack had changed and was no longer fun to be around. It scared me to see him like that. I also met a man who told me about others who were free from the tripods and not capped. This was what I wanted. That is why I left you. I miss you all very much and hope one day you can join me.
Having minds of our own, Some of the things that I have learned is, when you are capped someone that is taking control of you and you have no way to stop it from control. That is why Will dose not want to be capped because Will dose not want someone to control him. Like if Will makes a mistake Will dose not want someone to fix those mistake he wants to fix his own mistake so that is why it is called " Having a mind of our own".
being able to make choices, Will would like to make to choice his own choices like he wants to be free from his family and he dose not like when someone choice his own choices and fix what he dose wrong.
being free, Will would love to be free from the tripods and not to be capped. Also he would like to be free from he own family from choice what he is going to do with his life and Will dose not want people to control him.
trust, Will would like to trust him friends and his family. Plus when he is gone on his trip he met Beanpole to she if he is a good guy and he can trust him with Wills life. That is why Will can not just trust anybody.
companionship, When Will and Henry and Beanpole are all going to the White Mountains Will thinks that the friends that he has met he thinks the friends that Will has made they have good friendship.
friends, The friends that Will has made he thinks he can trust them and he thinks that Will has a good friendship with Henry and Beanpole.

White Mountains post 2
When Will and Henry went on their little journey they got lost in the jungle. When they meet Beanpole they were very happy because he knew the way and they wouldn't get lost. Beanpole also knew the good hiding places and where to get food. Will was so happy to see Beanpole and Henry so they could continue on their trip. Will, Henry and Beanpole would walk around and go places they have never been too so they spent days walking around with no food and water. When they were at a rest place Beanpole would always tell the boys all kinds of story's and other things that happened to him. Beanpole would always think of himself as a leader and hopes that the boys think he is a good leader. Hopefully Will and Henry can trust Beanpole with their lives and the adventures they go on that is not wild .
