What do we want to be when we grow up?

What a strange topic of conversation, but that was what our class spent an hour talking about today.  What would we like to be when we grow up.  It seems like it's going to be ages until we get old enough to do anything exciting.  But we learnt today that there are short term goals and long term goals.  Most of us had short term goals such as wanting to be able to do a backwards flip on the trampoline, or wanting to read a chapter book, or even wanting to learn how to ride our scooter properly.

These were our long term goals.  They are going to take us a very long time to achieve but our class is the ACHIEVING kind.  Just wait and see.
