Skiing

 I LOVE to ski so that is why I am blogging about it! Skiing is one of my favourite sports. Lots of people like snow boarding but I prefer skiing. One of the best things about skiing is the snow and not having both feet on one board. When I go skiing I always go on the bigger/biggest hills. People that have not gone skiing before will have LOTS of fun when they go, unless they go snow boarding.

 When I first started to go skiing I only went on the Bunny hill because I didn’t like heights.  2 years ago when I went skiing. We had to do a test to see that we could go on the bigger hills. I was really good but I didn’t like other people testing me. So when I was skiing I had to stop and I ended up crashing into the bush!

 Every year I usually go skiing about 5-8 times AT LEAST! This year I want to get a skiing pass so I can go almost every weekend! I love going to “Sun Ridge” because they have a “T-Bar” and really steep hills.  But “Snow Valley” is still all right.

 When ever I fall when I ski I usually get stuck so I have to take my ski’s off. I have never gotten a injury. I can NOT wait until I go skiing next! The one thing that is really cool about ski hills is that they make their own snow!

Roller Derby: a full contact sport!

Roller Derby: a full contact sport!

Most people don’t know what Roller Derby is. But even if you do, you probably think it is just a bunch of girls on Roller skates, NOT ROLLERBLADES!!!!! So I am going to explain it to you. I only have a few short paragraphs, so here I go…

Roller Derby is DEFINITELY a full contact sport, no if, ands, or buts about it. That is the WHOLE point of the game, is to hip check people! (Crazy, I know…) It is a male and female game, but there are WAY more female teams then male, unlike other sports. There are 4 levels of Derby, Junior Derby, Rookie, Intermediate and All-Star. Junior is 10+ in age, 18+ in age is Rookie and all other levels.

Now the explaining of the game:

There are 2 teams; each team has to have these on the track,

1 pivot

1 jammer

3 blockers

A pivot is the one who controls the speed of the “pack” (the pack is the group of girls on the track at once). This is a really important position. The jammer is the one who scores the points. For this position, you have to be quick and fast, and be able to take hard hits. The blockers have the most important job. What they have to do is not let the opposing jammer through the pack to score any points. They want their own team’s jammer through to get the team points. They have to do this for 2 minutes, unless it is called off by the referees. Whoever has the most points at the end of the 1 and a half hour game wins.

And I think that’s about it…

So, do you think this is a (totally!!!!!) awesome game like me, or do you think it is not safe at all (like when all the hip checking happens, and people get hit to the ground, and sometime not being able to get up)???

I want to know!!

My point has been proven! J

Circle Time

In our classroom we have Circle once a week.  Circle is where you sit in a circle and you’re polite to people who are speaking.  Circle is basically a time to talk about issues such as bullying and cliques. 

In order to have a chance to speak, you have to have your hand up and the teacher will pick on you to speak just like in class.   You get to hold this stuffed cat that we call Crazy Kitty.

What I like about Circle the most is how straight forward everything is.  People are usually honest about everything in Circle and you can always pass if you don’t want to say something. 

So this is why I think Circle is good.  What do you think?

Why Can’t We Eat Outside At Lunch Recess?

I never under stood why we couldn’t eat outside at lunch recess ever since grade 2?  I bet a lot off other kids wonder why to.  What is the difference between first and last recess from lunch recess?

I think it is only because if kids don’t finish their lunch they had to eat in the lunch supervisors room. I think they only want us to go in the lunchroom so the lunch supervisors have company.

But I think they should let us eat at lunch recess.  I don’t like eating inside in front of the supervisors because I feel like I’m in trouble. 

I am excited to read what other kids think.
