Day after day, day after day,
We suck, nor breath, nor motion,
As idle as a painted ship,
Upon a painted Ocean.
I think this is a metaphor that is trying to say the sea and the ship are still. In a painting there are still waves, but the author who wrote this stanza -Taylor Coleridge- is trying to say that the water of which they were sailing on was still like a painting but still had a few waves.
Old English:
The wedding-Guest sat on a stone,
He cannot chuse but hear,
And thus he spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner
Normal:
The wedding-Guest sat on a stone,
Forced to listen and hear,
And then spoke to that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.
I think this paragraph is saying that the man/ woman is meant to be at a wedding but instead the Mariner forced him to sit down on a stone and listen to him.
The book that i am currently reading is called Tag. This is a story about a young boy whose mum looks after him because his father was killed. This happened because there was a lump of bricks on the train track and he tried to take it off but then got hit at the last moment. This book is especially good because it kind of reminds me of myself. This is because he is living with no dad like myself and he is around the same age. I like this book because it is about a boy who has grown up with a friend who has taught him right from wrong because he stole and his friend forced him to put it back. I believe there is a moral in this story: that if you have people around you, then it will help you in the long run.
Yesterday, Saturday 24th of September, I woke up at 4:50 in the morning in order to make it to my Aunts before 5:30 so my mum would get to South London for the event. My mum and her friend were going to walk the London Marathon Walk. The Monopoly board!! That means they would walk around London passing all the Monopoly Board landmarks . She left the start at 8:00 in the morning and by 8:30 we were out as well. We were going to surprise them by taking the train to Green Park and meeting them in ST James’ park. We got their and waited. 20 minutes later they arrived and were still going strong so we took a picture and they were off again. It was then that we left and went to ST Pancras’ church to meet them for lunch. We ate and then took the 45 to Burgess park and waited a few hours whilst they completed the other 16 miles they had to do (because it was 28 miles). A few hours later they arrived. I was screaming at the top of my lungs cheering them on. They crossed the finish line and they got medals. Once it was over they checked their Justgiving page. They had raised £700 for their chosen charity CLAPA (Cleft Lip And Palate Association) -140% of their £500 target. We got the bus home, had dinner and went to bed. And that was my tiring day.
I am just trying to see if my blog is working. The fact that you’re reading it means it does so yay.

Every badge available for you to earn can be found online on our special badge site: achieve.community.edutronic.net
When you submit something for assessment your teacher will evaluate it against the published criteria for each badge. You can submit work for assessment at any time – and the work can come from inside our outside the classroom.
The criteria is published in conjunction with each achievement badge, along with samples of other students’ work that has met the criteria, so you can be clear about the standards that are expected.
If your work successfully meets the criteria then your teacher will award you that badge. You will receive an email, it will be added to your Credly account and it will show up on the right side of the page whenever you log into the achievement site.
If you want to know more of what is required to unlock an achievement, simply click on its icon or title. Here are a few examples from English, Drama and Science:
During the year you will be asked to read a wide range of texts. Using texts studied in class as well as texts you have selected you will also complete a log of the reading process. Overall you will read eight texts including at least six written texts and two visual texts. You will complete log entries on each text and present a report on your findings.
Attached is the outline of your required personal reading project – inside is the guidance you need to make sure your own-choice reading is going to meet the wide reading criteria.
You can always ask your teacher for advice about which texts would be best to concentrate on – and once you’ve read each text, you’ll then be asked to write a journal entry on your blog explaining how it helped develop your understanding of The Individual and Society.
This year everyone in the school will be required to have a ‘book at hand’ – and for English students, it makes a good idea to make that book one that helps you towards this reading project.
Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.
Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.
Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.
Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.
If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.
Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
