24 hour lesson

That’s right; I have done the foolish thing of signing up to staying in school for 24 hours, of which we should stay awake for the whole lot and are not allowed to leave the building! I may have to go to sleep at a decent hour the night before, in preparation for '24 hour’s non-stop learning'.

You may ask why someone would sign up to something like this, well, its all in the name of charity. In May a teacher in my school visited schools and educational organizations working with Palestinian and other refugees in Lebanon. The charity EAI (education action international) work in areas affected by conflict to make sure refugees and other groups are receiving the basis human right of quality education. For more information on Mr. Danes work and targets click here.

25 students including myself are taking part in the 24 hour lesson hoping to gain as many sponsors as possible in order to raise money to go towards the charity outlined above. I’m hoping to raise as much money as possible, all donations will be gratefully received.

apparently I am a cross between elmo and the big yellow bird!!!

something i found while browsing myspace.....

boys chage the word from girl to boy, and from boy to girl

""Girls

are like apples

on trees. The best ones

are at the top of the tree.

The boys don't want to reach

for the good ones because they

are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they get the rotten apples

from the ground that aren't as good,

but easy. So the apples up top think

something wrong with them when in

reality they're amazing. They just

have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's-
brave enough to

climb all

the way

to the top

of the tree.
