My report recount

I have recently received my report. As my Mum opened my report it had good comments. I was happy about it also. My Mum was proud of how well I did. The only thing I need to work on is to do lots of reading and to complete my work on time.

In my results, I achieved a little bit below average, so I need to work harder than before. I participated in soccer and in the I am making Movies 2 competition. The thing I need to work on at home is to read books everyday, and also to do my writing and basic facts.

My Dream To be a Football Player


My dream is to be a football player and play for New Zealand in the soccer world cup. I think I would be a good soccer player for New Zealand. I always watch the All Whites play a soccer game with other teams. That is good for me because it will give me some ideas how to play as a team and how I can make our team better.


My favourite playersin the All Whites are:Aaron Clapham, Ryan Nelson,Leo Bertos, Mark paston, Shane Smeltz and many more.
