What I Like About School

I like school because I like doing french.  You can learn new words  like the winter song in french. We play lotto in french, its like bingo.  The person says the french word and the other people have cards with little squares.  The squares have pictures of school supplies.  Once you have like four in a line they have to shout, "Lotto!"  When a person shouts Lotto they say all the school supplies they had in a row.  If they got it right they get a prize.  I'm really not good at playing at lotto but I still like playing it.

I like doing math too because we are learning about thousands, hundreds, tens, ones. and rounding them.

My favourite thing at school is art because you can do new artistic projects like making those stained glass pictures.  I'm making a candle.  It is golden.  I've been working hard on it and I feel proud of my work.

What do you like about French? What do you like about math? What do like in art?

You Go To Bed at What Time?!?

In Health class we have been working on learning to balance our lifestyle with a mixture of healthy eating, exercise and rest.  This balance allows our bodies to heal and survive sickness and disease.  During a discussion in Circle, I was flabbergasted to learn that many students in our class have late bedtimes.  Times ranged from 7:30 p.m. to well past midnight.  Reasons given for staying up so late were watching television and playing video games.  You guys may not realize it but it's very obvious if you've not had a good rest.  Students come to school tired and cranky and feeling miserable.  As a result, you experience trouble listening, focusing and doing your work.  You may not believe this but adults go through the same thing; we just hide it better.

Sleep is also important for your brain.  It allows it to solve problems, sorts through and stores information and replaces important chemicals.  Not getting enough sleep may affect you when you're working on an assignment that is normally easy but feels really difficult when you can't concentrate because you're tired.

Lastly, getting a good night's rest can affect your growth and immune system.  If you don't get enough sleep you may not grow as well.  Also, your body's defense mechanism, which is like your army to fight against disease may be weakened if you don't get enough rest.  Are you always feeling sick and missing a lot of school?  Could it be that you're not sleeping enough?

Experts say that kids should be getting either 10 or 11 hours of sleep per evening but most usually get 9.5 hours a night.  Let's say that you get up at 7:30 a.m. to get ready for school.  That means you would have to go to bed around 9:00 p.m. in order to allow your body to rest and heal.

Do you think sleep is important and why?  What time do you usually go to bed on school nights and on weekends?  Is it set by your parents or can you decide yourself?  What's the latest time you've ever stayed up and how did you feel the next morning.  Have you ever come to school really tired and couldn't focus?  Explain.

What Do You Want For Christmas?

I want in Christmas a computer and I want to give to my little sister a big bear.  She likes big bears.  My computer is kind of black and when I'm telling I want coffee that tastes like a flower.  I want to give to Bobby a white phone and she will like that.

My family gives me and my sister lots of presents at Christmas and they give us what we want.  They give us money and we buy lots of things like a snack or a pizza or chairs.  Me and my sister think we will give presents to my parents because they gave us money and we make them something.

In Israel we had Christmas. There is no snow, never ever.  We go to the school and the teacher gives us suprises and we cleaned the room all the time. When I came to Canada there was snow at Christmas in Israel.  They didn't want to clean the snow.

What do you want for a Christmas surprise?  Do you have snow at Christmas in your country?

Animated Video Games

I love animated video games.  Just like a whole bunch of other people do.  Not all people, but some people do.  About almost all of the video games I have ever played are animated video games so to be honest, I don’t know if I like animated video games better than realistic video games.

One of my favorite video games is Terraria, Minecraft and snowboarding games.  And my top four favorite video games are; Terraria, Minecraft, Sushi Clickers, Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.  Most of the video games that I play have really weird names.

My brother’s favorite video game is also Terraria.  Terraria is very similar to Minecraft, but the only part that is similar is that both of the video games have blocks in them.  The goal of the game Terraria is that you have to make a house and survive in the wild nature and defeat all the bosses.  I find it weird that one of the bosses is an old man and you have to curse him at night and when you curse him, he turns into a giant skeleton that flies.  The weird skeleton has one head and two arms and two hands.

What is your favorite animated video game?  If you don’t have one, what video game do you want to play?  

What video game consoles do you have?  If you don’t have one, what video game console do you want?

If you can’t answer any of those questions, what video game or video game console do you think is cool or what video game or console have you seen?

Movember

The month of November is commonly called Movember because it's a month to raise money for men's cancer.  Usually, we make men grow mustaches or beards so they can get people to donate money.

In our school, we have been collecting money so that one of our male teachers can grow it out.  Right now, this teacher has a cool mustache.  I hope he grows it out really long but right now it's really short.  It looks like there's dots all over his face.  No offence, Mr. C. but it looks good.  Keep it up.  Please do it for the cancer people.

Every week we get an update where we can see what his mustache looks like.  Our teacher looks like he's having a bit of trouble because it's not really growing out right now.

Our class has donated $20.35 already.  The male teacher is hoping that every student in our school donates at least one dollar or more.  We have about 250 students in our school which would hopefully raise $250.

Have you already donated a dollar or more?  What do you think about fund raising activities?

Ripley's Believe It or Not

I like Ripley’s Believe It or Not because it has a lot of weird facts about people who cheated death and have really odd diets like eating bugs and glass.  I think that’s weird because people don’t normally do these types of things.  Don’t tell me that isn’t weird because if you don’t think that is weird, then I think it’s a little strange.  Another reason I like Ripley’s is because their pictures are so graphic.

The weirdest fact I think is the craziest is this guy who plays a piano ON FIRE!I I think all of the people do it on purpose because they’re crazy. 

I also like Guinness World Records. My favourite record is the biggest bag of popcorn EVER.  It was really tall so tall they needed to use one of those electrical cranes. 

Tell me the craziest fact that you’ve read on Ripley’s Believe It or Not.  If you haven’t read these books, tell me the strangest facts you’ve seen or heard.

Ultimate Football

I love football and if you don't why?  I like football because I really like the feeling I get when I catch the throw it's very satisfying. Especially if you catch it from a far distance.  There was this one time where me and my friend were playing and my friend threw the football from the fence to me and I was about forty feet away. His throw was off course so I had to run and stretch my arms right as much as I could,  then I caught it and felt like the best catcher ever. I think I am in the top twenty catchers in the school. Tell me if I am wrong. But I think I am pretty good.  And I think my friend is one of the top throwers.  

The reason I didn't join ultimate football intramurals is because I thought I was pretty bad at the time it started.  But after about three days of practice I realized I was good, but it was to late to join ultimate football.  I probably will join next year.  Me and my friend play every recess we usually talk, laugh, and have fun. And sometimes we say nice catch or good throw when it's a good catch like in my story.  I am not the best thrower my spirals are not that great and my distance isn't either, but that's okay because I am a catcher and I am good at that.

So do you like football, if you don't what sport do you like?

Are you a good thrower or catcher?  Do you like any other sport? 

Describe the sport you like and why you like it.

If you don't like sports at all why don't you?

Reading

Lots of people like reading.  I do not really like reading because I do not really enjoy it.  But I still read because I have nothing better to do.  Why does every one like reading?  Nobody knows.  Reading apparently helps your brain in learning new words.

I am currently reading Son Of Neptune by Rick Riordan.  I do not know how many books but I think there are four they are really long.  I am not really sure what the story line but he is the son of someone else but I do not know his name what is.  I am going to read them all.

I want to read long books but I can only find more Son Of Neptune books.  I read comic books and then I read my long book.

Do you like to read?  How long of a book have you read?  What book are you reading?

Scary Movie Parts & Your Reactions To Them

I don't watch a lot of movies but when I do, I have some favourite parts.  My favorite part in a movie is when something that looks like scary but it's not.  An example of this is when weird music is playing and then it turns to be nothing.  I end up jumping but nothing was really scary.

It turns out to be really funny.  I laugh and laugh.

One time in the movie called Mysterious, the lead character Joey in the movie was walking and one of my friends were putting his hands over his eyes and he started to cry because he was really scared.  We called him a cry baby because it wasn't that scary.  My friend wanted to know when the scene was over?

Has there been a movie where it really scared you?  If not, do you have a favourite part in a movie and describe it.

Galaxyland

Galaxyland is the best  place  and the funnest place ever. It is located in West Edmonton Mall.  I have gone there many times.  My  favorite ride is the blue and yellow rollercoaster because it spins around when you go up and when it goes down it spins really fast.  When you have two people on it, it gets really bumpy and it gets hard to stay focused.  When I get off the rollercoaster, I feel fine and want to ride it again.

My favorite game is bumper cars.  You can hit anybody with your car and you don't get hurt like real cars.

The boat is fun because you can go sideways.  I never let my arms go because I feel like I'm going to fall.  I've seen people let go of the bar and it looks very freaky.

Everything else is  fun.What is your favorite ride and game?

My House

I have a cat and her name is Corky.  We have a landlord that comes over every Wednesday and we have to hide the cat and the food so the landlord doesn’t take the cat.  I don’t think that the landlord will come anymore because she doesn’t want us to have a disease and we can let the cat run around the house because the landlord isn’t coming anymore.

My house is kind of old.  Our kitchen is old but our bedroom is a little bit cool and downstairs we love because we have lots of games.  My Mom’s and Dad’s bedroom is really big.  We sometimes sleep in there and it’s hard to get down on the bed because they have 3 mattresses.  My little sister’s room is a little bit big.  We have a friend named Katie and she might be moving in because we have pop and she wants to drink it but we tell her not to.

What does your house look like?

Five Reasons Why My Dog Is My Best Friend

I have a dog named Molly.  She is half Pomeranian and half chihuahua.  She has brown fur and black fur and it is short.  Molly is four years old and she likes me the best.  She fights with my cat Oreo all the time.

1. She never judges me when I make no sense.

2. She loves me no matter what I look like.

3. She is the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to bed.  

4. She looks out for me when strange people come by, she protects me.  

5. She makes me smile when I have an awful day at school (she licks me).

Giving Up When Something Is Hard

Have you ever tried to do something that was really difficult but couldn't and then gave up?  Did you feel like a failure?  Did you go back and try it again or did you just stop entirely?

This year at our school for students in Grades 4, 5 and 6, we are looking at the idea of grit.  What is grit?  There are many aspects to grit that we are going to look at this year but the main point is to stick to something even though it's really hard to do.  For example, the other day during Phys. Ed. class, we were trying to throw and catch a football.  There were a couple of students that said they couldn't catch at all.  Although they wanted to give up, I made them continue to try catching the ball until they actually did.  You should have seen their faces light up when they caught that football.  You know who you are.

I know it's frustrating to keep trying at something when all you experience is failure.  With practice and perseverance however, you should start to get better at something.  Look at professional athletes such as hockey players.  How do you think they got to be that good?  It didn't just happen overnight.  They practiced and practiced and despite probably failing many times, continued to practice.

At our school this year, we are trying to teach our kids that failure is not necessarily a bad thing.  Instead of seeing it as something bad, we should grit our teeth and try it again.

Describe a time in your life where you showed grit and didn't give up.

I'm Smart, Are You?

If I asked you what you were good at you could probably list a couple of things immediately.  Some of us are really good at sports, others are very talented musically.  I am a math person which means I like dealing with numbers and I like things in an organized way.

Our class has been studying different kinds of smart and we have taken a "SMART" test which lets us know what kinds of smart each of us are.  Many of us already knew what kind of smart we were but a few of us discovered something different about ourselves.

We looked at eight types of "smart".  They are listed below in no particular order:

1.  Linguistic - strong at listening, speaking and reading

2.  Spatial - strong at imagining pictures and details

3.  Logical-Mathematical - strong at thinking with numbers or patterns

4.  Bodily-Kinesthetic - strong at hands-on tasks, building and athletics

5.  Musical - strong at songs, patterns and musical expression

6.  Interpersonal - people-oriented and outgoing, likes working with groups

7.  Intrapersonal - knows self very well, would rather be alone than with friends

8.  Naturalistic - loves outdoors, animals and nature

What kind of smart are you?

River Monsters

I really like the show called River Monsters. Although there have been a lot of blog posts involving T.V but I think that this will be the last one and I shall be the one to end it. 

River Monsters (for the rest of the blog I will call it RM for short) is a show that is rated PG-13 because of all the blood guts and gore from the fish attacks. It is a very violent/intense show for a Discovery Channel show. Lots of mystery appears in lots of episodes for some reason. 

Me and skate4life watched an episode of RM recently ware Jeremy Wyde (the old man guy) goes to the Amazon Jungle and tries to find the Anjumara A.K.A wolf fish A.K.A the deadliest fish in South America. It is the most intense episode( because it is the season finale) where people are struck by lightning, dogs are ripped apart by fish, Wolf Fish attacks on primates birds and humans, lost in the amazon and many more intense stuff. 

The other episode that really appeals to me is called “Flesh Ripper” where a bunch of Longfin Eels attack scobodivers. There is not much blood in this episode so I don’t know why I think its cool, maybe it just awesome. I do not know why they call it flesh ripper because there is barely any blood. 

Another episode that was worth watching is chainsaw predator the only reason that isn't first is because of the high blood level. I swear that episode is extremely graphic and ridiculously gory clips of attacks. The chainsaw predator is a fish that has a nose that looks like a chainsaw. It even shows killings (and not by fish or animals) (well humans are animals BUT YOU GET THE POINT!!!!!!!!) and I find it disturbing and gross. 

I have seen this one episode of River Monsters where the old guy goes to Japan to find the legendary Caper that snatches children to the deep parts of the lake. The Caper turned out to be a Giant Salamander. 

This will probably be the last post of the year for me so that means all those hours I spent making blog posts were well spent.   \This next part is by PIG1:)  I love River monsters IT IS AWESOME.  I watch it with my dad.  I like it because of the blood and gore.  My favourite episode is when he tries to hunt a stingray because some little girl gets pulled under water to her watery death:(. It was awesome)  The old guy who fishes is ugly (And weird) :)  One time he fishes with his feet in the water.

I like River Monsters. Would you like it? Have you seen it? Would you like to?

The Festivals That Happen in Edmonton in the Summer

There are many festivals and parades in Edmonton in the summer.  They are all for many different reasons like celebrating culture or an achievement or just enjoying music.  I have been to all of them , and mostly enjoyed them all.  Like in the summer if you register for the YMCA day camps they take you to The Street performers, a parade downtown in July and they take you to other ones.  One time I was with my mom and brother and we went to the parade for about 2 hours, it was awesome! Then another time me my mom and brother went to  capital-x (aka K-days) and I wanted to play a game and she said after, and so I waited and then as soon as I got to the game it started to pour.  Like, really heavily.  And so they had to shut the whole fair down and everyone had to leave.  All the parades , festivals, carnivals and fairs in Edmonton I’ve been to are: The fringe, capital-ex, The Street Performers, Heritage days, The Caribbean and Gay pride.  Basically I’ve been to all of them.  

My favorite festivals are either Capital-ex or Heritage days, They are really awesome! Heritage days is where, in Hawreluk park in the middle of summer these people come and set up booths and sell food from their own culture.  There is also items being sold and dancers dancing cultural dances .  Last year when I went I ate so much, but my favorite food was the Ukrainian perogies and the Italian ice cream that I had.  Yum! My favorite part of Heritage days, is the eating.  

Capital-ex is technically an amusement park.  It comes in July for eight days in the downtown coliseum.  It is HUGE!  I have been to K-days almost every year of my life that it has been in Edmonton except for last year, only my brother went then.  My favorite part is probably the rides.  The rides they have are better than the galaxy land rides!  Heritage days and Capital-ex are so awesome!

There are so many people that come to these festivals from all over just like people come to shop at WEM.  Usually there is so many people that you could probably get lost in the crowd!There is also a festival called Gay Pride and it has been around for a few years and it is to celebrate people being able to marry the same gender.  

I love all the festivals that happen in Edmonton.

iPads (2nd Generation)

iPads are cool, you can get app's and music. I have 3 pages of games and 20 songs. iPads are big, the height is 9.50 inches and the width is 7.31 inches and depth is 0.34 inches.The screen can rotate, and the setting has a passcode you can put it on if you want. The graphics are really good. iPad 2's has over 1,000 features. My mom has an iPad mini, it's not as good as and iPad 2 because the screen is not that big, the thing I like about it it's light. In the Appstore and iTunes Store it has over one thousand games, music, movies and t.v. Shows. 

My brother, sister and me each have an iPad2. iPads have a front and back camera. My favourite games are: Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Minecraft pocket edition, The Walking Dead, Kingdom Rush, Dead Trigger, Grand Theft Auto 3,Call of Duty:Zombies, Wipeout, Roblox and other games. 

My brother's favourite games are: Clash of Clans, Minecraft pocket edition, Roblox, Trigger Fist, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Kingdom Rush, Dead Trigger, The Amazing Spider man, Iron man 3, Wipe Out and The Hunger Games. 

My sister's favourite games are: Barbie Colour, Minecraft lite, Clash of Clans, Justin Bieber dress up, Wreck it Ralph and Wipe Out. 

If I'm bored of playing I usually go on Facebook or Twitter. The back and front camera is HD(720p), there is FaceTime where you can Video chat. There is a photo booth photo booth where you can change the effects. The effects are: squeeze, twirl, stretch, kaleidoscope, normal, light tunnel, thermal camera, mirror and x-ray.

My Japanese-Siamese Fighting Fish, Bob.

I got Bob for my birthday.  He's a betta fish (Japanese-Siamese) fighting fish.  Bob lives in an aquarium but he hangs out in a tiki hut.  Whenever he sticks his head out of the tiki bar, I ask for root beer but he never gives me any.  

Beside the tiki hut (left side) are the palm trees and for some reason Bob hides from me in them BUT, he comes out of either the bar or the palm trees to blow bubbles for my mom.  I think Bob thinks that I'm a ginormous maniac because he's always hiding from me.  

Bob is blue with a streak of reddish purple on his neck but he turns completely red when he's angry.  I think it's funny when I hold up a mirror at Bob until he starts turning red and fights himself.  He also tries to fight me a lot but ends up smashing into the aquarium but he keeps on trying anyway.  One day I think he is going to knock himself out cold.

Do you have a fish?  Where does your pet live?  Does your pet do cool or stupid things?  Do you even have a pet?  It not, what would you like for a pet?

My Dog Meeka

I have a three year old dog named Meeka. She is a Shih-Tzu. In her spare time she usually plays with her soccer ball and is very good at throwing and catching it. She is not the smartest dog you will find, she has knocked herself out several times. One time Meeka ran right into a chain link fence, she landed on her back, paws up and was out cold for about 30 seconds! She was fine after and acted like nothing happened, but I'm sure she lost a few brain cells that time because she keeps running head first into solid objects. They really should make helmets for dogs.

Meeka loves to be cuddled and lives for attention. She loves being called ugly and stinky and thinks they mean cute and adorable. If anybody heard our family talk like that to our dog they would think we hated her, but we love her very much and she knows it.

Meeka likes running laps around our yard and ends up barrel rolling because she is running too fast, it looks really funny. Do you have a pet? What kind of funny things does your pet do? Do you or your family call your pet funny names?

Remember to give your pet a hug when you get home today!

The Big Bang Theory

I love the Big Bang Theory. It is my favourite non-animated show (other than Malcolm in The Middle).

My favourite character is Sheldon. He is really funny. In one episode called the Algorithm of Friendship, Sheldon asks a little girl to be his friend. Sheldon is the smartest and the dumbest. That probably doesn't make sense.

My favourite episode is when Sheldon tries to prove he is the smartest. In that episode Raj is kind of crazy because he says “HE HE HE”. At the end of the episode where Howard and Leonard compete against Sheldon and the Janitor, Howard ends up winning and he starts being a moron and he rips off his shirt and starts rolling on the floor saying “We are the champions no time for losers” and everybody is watching in astonishment. My least favourite character is Raj or Penny. If I had to make a list it would be

1 Sheldon
2 Leonard
3 Howard
4 Raj
5 Penny

I don’t like Raj, he is stupid. He has the weirdest ideas. Like, in this one episode the FBI asked Howard a bunch of questions, like how old are you and Raj comes in with a flame thrower. In another episode I watched Leonard dies so Raj goes back-in-time to prevent the death and it turns out Leonard died from eating worms.

Another episode that I really like is the one where Penny gets a cold and Sheldon gets the cold next. Then Raj Howard and Leonard dress up as monkeys and go to a movie theater. Some episodes are just random.

Me and Angryman 42 watched a whole bunch of episodes on my birthday.

This is me skate4life and blackbearx we are talking on the phone and creating this blog right now.

Family Guy

I think that Family Guy is not appropriate for kids our age, but I watch it anyways.  I have seen all of the episodes. I love the Star Wars episodes. It is really funny and it does not make any sense. 

My favourite episode is when Stewie tried to kill his mother. I hate the episode when Stewie goes to Daycare and falls in love with this girl. When he finds out that the girl only likes him for his cookies. 

There is lots of swearing and disgusting thing in it.  Thats why I don't like it a lot  because I just don’t like it.  I have watched all of the episodes except like five of them. I am going to watch it when I get home. 

My favourite character is Brian the dog. But he dies in that episode when Stewie meets himself in the future. The most disgusting part when he says something really bad.

Anime

Anime is like a cartoon for teenagers.  It has a lot of blood and gore so it is something we should not watch in school.  In some of them like One Piece the main character has a special power. The main character in One piece is completely made out of rubber because his father was a test tube and his mother was a rubber band. He is completely insane and hilarious.

Another anime is Claymore. In Claymore there is a species called Claymore which is half human half yemen. The yemen species is a ogre and troll combination which can take the form of a human. The yemen can easily learn the way the human they take over speaks.

Have you watched anime or would you like to if you do watch anime what is your favourite one?

Books

I think books are an amazing thing.  I have so many books , but I collect random books and I only have a few full sets.  A few full sets of books I have are Judy Moody, Junie. B .Jones , and the Golden Compass series .  I am more interested in fiction books, than non-fiction.  Most of the books I have read in my life were and are fiction.  I have read some non-fiction before , but fiction to me is way more interesting.  But I do watch the news.    

What type of book interests you?  What do you read?

I have read many books in my life.  The book I am currently in the process of is a book called  Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff For Teens .  The first chapter book I ever read was called Rainbow Fairy Magic , and I was in grade one.  

I love books , and have read many.  Once I read a book called Mr.Stink, and it was about a girl who had befriended a man who had no home and stank.  it was one of my favourite books .  I have a lot of favourite books . I usually read more than one book at a time and that is what  I am doing right now , the other book I am reading is Narnia The lion , The witch and the wardrobe.  

What is your favourite book?

Books can be non-fiction or fiction , but both are good.  Non-fiction can teach you things and fiction helps your imagination grow.

I love West Edmonton Mall.  It is one of my favourite malls in Edmonton.  I love that there is so many things to do.  You can go swimming or shopping or even go to a restaurant.  There are so many restaurant like Boston Pizza. I like Boston Pizza.  There are so many places  to see and there is so many things to do.  When we go there it is usually to show my dad’s side of the family cause they live in B.C.  We don’t usually get to go there but when we do we have so much fun.  Have you been there?

I love the water park at West Edmonton Mall it is so fun there.  They have a big play place with water coming from all different  directions and small slides.  There is a wave pool and lazy river  which is a big slide.  One of my favourite slides is the lazy river it is so fun.  I also like the Blue Bullet its so cool.  There are two different kinds of Blue Bullets one of them is fully black and one of them has a bit of light.  I once went there with my friend we had so much fun.  Do you like the water park?

There are so many places that I’ve been to at West Edmonton Mall and there is so many places that I have not been to.  I have been to Putt-in-Glow and that is where you mini glow and glows it is fun.  

I’ve also been to the Fantasyland Hotel.  Theres a hot tub in there.  On top of that I have been in almost all the stores.  Not to mention I have been in Galaxyland and a lot of other places.  But my favourite place is the water park because I love to swim.  One place that I would like to go to is Rope Quest. I think it will be fun.  Where would you like to go?

AC/DC

A.C.D.C is my favourite band. I first heard them when I was listening to the radio with my papa. We were driving to Kelowna we were so board so we decided to listen to the radio. We were lucky because it was the end of some boaring song.  Then I heard a good band that I never heard before it was so great it was A.C.D.C - Thunder struck.

My favourite song is Back in Black.  I heard Back in Black when I was downloading their album.  I also heard T.N.T, Thunder struck, its a long way to the top, Back in Black and let there be rock.  A.C.D.C isn't my only old band I also like Nirvana but A.C.D.C is my favourite one.

Whats your favourite old band?  Where did you hear them?  Why do you like your favourite band?

I don't think I will ever stop playing games video games to be exact and also minecraft to be exact again. I spend a whole lot of my time playing video games and to be exact once again I will not stop playing Minecraft and Call Of Duty.

Lego

Lego is blocks that you can build any thing like bridges to castles.  There is a new Lego store in Southgate and I am excited for it.  There is a Legoslature in the Legislature.

Did you know that if you buy Lego Pick-a-Brick twice you get 50 cents off.  Isn't that awesome?  I am going to buy a lot of Lego pieces that I need like fossils, gobblers, fire and studs. The Lego Death Star has a lot of Lego guys and pieces.  There is a crusher at the bottom of it and there is a massive gun at the top.  There is 3083 pieces.

I have lots of Lego sets and I do not know  how many sets I have.  I have a Volkswagen Lego set and I have a pull back and let go set too.  I also have a Bionicle set and a limited edition Lego winter set that you cannot buy anymore.

My Family

My family is so fun and funny because they tell me  funny jokes. My dad and brothers, Jake, Joey and Jonathan  go fishing with me and I caught a big fish.  My dad was so jealous.

My mom and my sister Kirstin cook for my family  and it is so good. I like to go shopping with my mom and Kirstin we like to buy shoes and clothes.

In the spring time my family goes camping.  My brother Jake scared me when we go camping and my brothers are so annoying.

In the end we love each other.  That is my family and I love them.

What is your family about? Do you have brothers and sisters?  Do you go camping?  Do your brothers or sisters ignore you?

Tell me about your family.

Grade 5 Chemistry Field Trip

Recently the grade 5’s went on a field trip to Queen Mary Park for a chemistry field trip. When we got there we did a lot of chemistry based experiments. The first experiments we did were pretty cool. We put a bunch of stuff in a bag and it turned yellow and started to foam.  I can’t remember what I put in the bag but the other grade 5’s might know.

My  favourite experiment was when we put vinegar and baking soda in a bottle and then we put a balloon on top of the bottle and it started to inflate, it was very cool. After we made Silly Putty out of liquid borax powder and glue and food coloring. My color was red. But then shortly after I made it, it dried up.

There was a lot of other stations like the one where we would get to mix different objects to see if they would mix. Later we had lunch and then we got to play outside. Then we got go to other stations and then we went home.

What’s your favourite field trip and if you went on this field trip what was your favourite station?

Waste Management Centre

We went to the Waste Management Centre for a field trip.  The Big HAM gave us a camera to take pictures.  I saw a lot of garbage.  In that one room there was a lot of garbage and the leader said all that garbage in that room is in one day or a half a day.  

I saw two people taking out recyclable things from the conveyor belt.  I saw lot of things like a bed and a lot of microwaves.  

Then we went in a building and we went in a room.  It was a theater and a big screen.

Have you gone to the Waste Management Centre before?

Circle Time - Health

In our Health unit we have talked about being healthy and body images. It actually doesn’t matter what others think about you. It only matters what you think about your self. Boys don’t really think about what they look like or

what they wear. Well some of them do but it doesn’t matter that much.

I care what I  wear and what  I look like. And all of the girls do. The people

on the magasins are pretty because the  photographs are made using photoshop.

We  have been talking about smoking. I think that  if some one

offered me a cigarette I would  say no if you want to be my friend don’t

ever ask me that again got that. Or I don’t want to have yellow teeth. If you do I am fine with that.

What do you think about our topics in Health?
