What do I predict? ~
So from what I've seen from the few last pages they find out that they're not alone and end up helping endangered animals, this is the adventure that they'll be going on.

{Practice} A Job/Career For Me 📝



↣A Job For Me↢

Wouldn’t you like to have the job that you wish for? A job I have in mind for the future Tha Zin is a General Surgeon. Why? Well.. mainly cause it would be cool and rewarding to save lives and to help others. What’s yours?
Firstly, let’s start with a simple why? Well as I’ve kind of said it in the intro because I wanna save lives although pretty sure that being a surgeon might not be as dramatic as those hospital dramas. Also saving lives would mean a lot for them, although most wouldn’t know it everyone at some point values their life. I’m sure that just helping others would be very rewarding to me but saving their lives is on a whole other level.
Secondly, learning medicine and others would be great for yourself, plus learning about our bodies would be something quite fascinating. Just learning about simple things about the human body is complicated making it something huge to learn everything about our body.

Thirdly, there’s more choices than just what people know of like a doctor (the simplest way humans remember it) surgeons and physicians. There are tons and tons of different jobs and opportunities in the medical field making it even more interesting. If, in the future I do not wish to be a general surgeon but still want to continue in the medical field there are plenty of other options!

Overall I think that being something that’s involved with medicine is amazing, helping others, saving lives the list goes on and on. Although there is still a lot of time for me right now before making a decision, I’m fine with just goofing around and making memories as a tween.

↣A Job For Me↢

Wouldn’t you like to have the job or career that you wish for? A career I have thought about for the future Tha Zin is a General Surgeon. Why? Because it would be quite rewarding to save lives and to help others. What’s yours?

Firstly, let’s start with a simple why? Well I’ve kind of said it in the intro but I’ll say it again, I want to save lives. Although I’m sure that being a surgeon might not be as dramatic as those hospital dramas, I’m up for the challenge! Also saving lives would mean a lot for them (patient and family), although most don’t cherish it everyone at some point values their life.
Secondly, learning medicine would be great for yourself and family, plus learning about our bodies would be something quite fascinating. Just learning about simple things about the human body is complicated, making it something huge to learn every bit of our body. Plus wouldn’t it be helpful?

Thirdly, there’s more choices than just what people know of like a doctor (the simplest way we all remember it) surgeons and physicians. There are tons and tons of different jobs and opportunities in the medical field making it even more interesting. If, in the future I do not wish to be a general surgeon but still want to continue in the medical field there are plenty of other options!

Overall I think that being something that’s involved with medicine is amazing, helping others, saving lives there’s heaps more on the list. Although there is still a lot of time for me right now before making a decision, I’m fine with just goofing around and making memories as a tween.

Tittle ~ Geronimo Stilton, {Classic Tales} Alice In Wonderland

Author ~Elisabetta Dami

Genre ~ Fantasy Fiction

No. Pages ~ 207

Main Characters ~
Queen, Duchess, March Hare, Mad Hatter, Alice, White Rabbit, Cheshine Cat, Caterpillar
What seems to be happening ~ 
So far I've only read a small bit from the book but from what I've read this is what I'm understanding. As the original story begins it starts off with Alice a young mouselet who was bored eating cheese and crackers, who is near her older sister who's busy reading a book without any illustrations.She decides to make a daisy crown and was about to pick some flowers when an odd white rabbit caught her eye. The rabbit darted across her and out of curiosity Alice followed him, "Oh, heavens I'm late!" cried the rabbit. And in the next page you'll find Alice falling helplessly down a hole where she finds some unexpected furniture.

What do I predict? ~
As I have seen the film I predict that she'll go through a crazy yet fabulous journey through the wonderland, a world where she'll meet some crazy creatures and make some unforgettable memories through out the adventure.

Maths Week 2&3 📘

MATHS WEEK 2&3

For the first work we split up in our original maths group to 2 groups, my partners were Zaeeda and Pisirina. We all had fun and enjoyed working together, everyone enjoyed solving problems and no one had trouble with teamwork so that made things easier for everyone! 

We shaded the blocks so that we could try and figure out multiple patterns that were hidden in the pyramid. Each and everyone of us had learnt at least something and were better at it at the end of the day. 

Overall we all enjoyed learning some maths and enjoyed meeting and working with new people. Looking forward for maths in room 11 for 2020!!

How I Got My Name 🔎



How I Got My Name


Hello, my name is Tha Zin. Although it’s a pretty common name in Myanmar it’s a not so common name in NZ,so here’s the story of how I got it.

When the day came of a baby girl popping into the world, my parents got ready like any normal parents would for their first kid. As soon as my mum found out her water broke she ran to my dad and started yelling out, “THE BABY’S COMING FOR GOODNESS SAKE GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL”.

A few hours of being in the labour delivery room, I was born… At first I was a nameless baby as they were clueless to what my name would be. They took me a few days later (still unnamed) but with a bit of help Tha Zin was picked- oh yea.. I didn’t tell how they got it right?

So.. with a bit of help from my dad’s friend (who is actually great at those horoscopic stuff) did a few studies and found a name that was perfect for me, also it was a name that both of the parents were fond of.Also my name actually means a flower that really has no scent to it whatsoever, plus also recently found out that the flower symbolizes royalty and purity!





In the end they stuck with Thin Tha Zin but most people just call me Tha Zin, and so that’s the story of how I got my name!

Tha Zin Sir Peter Jackson Bio ~ Information Web 🕸️

Tittle ~ The Baby-Sitters Club, The Truth About Stacey

Author ~ Raina Telgemeier

Genre ~ Fiction

No. Pages ~ 141

Main Characters ~
Kristy Thomas - President of BSC, Claudia Kishi - Vice President of BSC, Mary Anne Spier - Secretary, Stacey Mcgill - Treasurer


What seems to be happening ~ 
So far from what I've read is that Stacey is a patient of diabetes and moved to a smaller town to see different doctors, Stacey didn't care when finding out they were moving as everyone had distanced themselves from her thinking that whatever she had was contagious. But at the new place she's at no one seems to be bothered by it. Meanwhile the BSC has competition with older baby-sitters who are teens while they are only grade 7s. The part I'm on is the part where the four finds about how the older ones are doing a not so great job at baby-sitting..

What do I predict? ~
I predict that they'll end up having the kids confess to their parents about the older teens and that once the parents find out they'll spread the news, then the older teens would end up losing their customers and things will go back smoothly for the BSC.

Tittle ~ The Baby-Sitters Club, Kristy's Great Idea

Author ~ Raina Telgemeier

Genre ~ Fiction

No. Pages ~ 180

Main Characters ~
Kristy Thomas - President of BSC, Claudia Kishi - Vice President of BSC, Mary Anne Spier - Secretary, Stacey Mcgill - Treasurer

What I have read so far ~
I'm now up to the part where the girls are getting ready to present their new club to the public by sticking up some flyers. They're on the way to baby-sitting but to baby sit they're gonna need some kids so they wait patiently in Claudia's room for the phone to ring.

What do I predict? ~ 
I predict that as time passes while in the Baby-Sitters Club they gradually gain more and more parents that are needing some baby sitters.

What seems to be happening ~ 
This is what I think seems to be happening, a club which has 4 friends in it are trying to make use of themselves around town. Since they're also all pretty good at taking care/baby sitting kids they've decided to create a club where they can provide service to the place where they live which is the reason behind The Baby-Sitters Club existing.
