Kia ora Mr Davidson,

I just wanted to let you know that I have received your letter. On behalf of the 10p students and myself, I would personally like to thank you for your apology. I am in full support of what you have said, and I agree with the fact that our class have had some major issues in the last three terms that have gone past this year. I have found the last three terms some what difficult to keep focused and on task because of the distractions in our classroom. I really hope that this term can be a different story, and that everyones behaviour will improve. I also hope that this will be the term where all the students can keep on track and get loads of mahi done, instead of mucking around all the time.

I personally would appreciate any and all help to prepare me for NCEA level one English. I am excited to be in the E English class next year, But I am aware that I need to work on my punctuation, paragraphs and comprehension etc. But I am willing to study and work hard to get a great result, with your help on board. I look forward to working with you this coming term and the years to come in English!

Nga Mihi Kindest Regards Ebony Peeni

The Story of Perseus

Perseus is the son of Zeus and Danae. He was found floating in the sea in a casket in the arms of his dead mother. He was raised by a fisherman called Spyros and his wife Marmara, who named him Perseus.

To help him in his quest, Zeus provided Perseus with four gifts. Those gifts were: A godly sword; a special shield; a golden coin to pay the ferryman to Hades; and a winged horse called Pegasus. The sword was used to cut off Medusa's head. Perseus used the special shield to distract Medusa, and to decapitate her. The golden coin was used to pay the ferryman to Hades, and Pegasus was used to get him to Argos to save the princess from the Kraken.

Hades sent Calibos a man with powerful super human abilities, to stop Perseus - The blood of Calibos was venomous. The creatures were defeated with the help from the Anatolian monster hunters, Ozal and Kucuk.

Perseus was able to force the witches to tell him the secret of the Medusa by taking their magic eye. The Medusa had the special power of turning people into stone. Perseus was able to kill her by deceiving her with the reflection of his shield.

One feature about Perseus that I admire is that he saved Princess Andromeda and the City of Argos from the Kraken, and that he didn't want to use his Demigod powers, he wanted to fight like/as a man!
