Pumpkin Carving Contest!!!


At school, we are having a pumpkin carving contest. My pumpkin sticks out like llama in a herd of sheep. It is literally the only white pumpkin besides my sister's. Unfortunately, last night my mom reminded me that we had it today..... so yeah. There are no more orange pumpkins left in the city!!!!!!! I am not kidding......

Ta Da!!!! Crazy looking pumpkin!!!

Red Sky Theatre!!!!

Today Red Sky Theatre can to our school to perform a play called How the Raven Stole the Sun. It was funny but awesome at the same time. Also a bit weird. It was about how an old man boxed up the sun, stars and the moon when his wife died. The Raven really wanted to know what was in the boxes. And I mean really. He even turned himself into a pine needle so that the old mans daughter would drink him out of the stream. Then after that mysteriously she woke up pregnant. Then when she was ready The Raven popped out from the table from which under she sat, so it really sorta looked like she gave birth to him. But he sure can out as an old man that's for sure. Hairy Legs and All. So that was kinda gross but funny. But I would definitely recommend watching them.

War Brides Tour and Portrait Activity at the Museum!!!


War Brides! Portraits! Movies!

This is all the stuff we did at the Art Museum downtown. It was really amazing how the artist Bev Tosh got all the details of the ladies in. I wish I were that good of an artist. After we did that we drew self portraits and then painted them. I was kinda looking like myself. Sorta, Kinda, Not Really. But all together it was fun!!!

Hip Hop Dance Lessons


     On Tuesday, Oct. 14th we got Hip Hop dance lessons from Marcella. She originally Italian. I guess if you count that she is the first in her generation to be half Canadian. She is a professional dancer from Toronto. She is un-unioned, that means that she is her own boss. I love that idea!!! She has danced with Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and Jully Black. Plus she met Chris Brown is disguise.... but not she's boycotting him because he was mean to her. He didn't even say hi to her!!!!!!

Biking and Needles...Not a Good Combo!!!


On Oct. 3rd all the Grade 6's in my class and in Mr. Yeske's class went on a bike trip. Before we went we got our needles. Everybody was wigging out because we all thought that the needles would kill us... Tee Hee Hee! It wasn't even that bad except that the Hep B didn't hurt when it went in but the HPV one did. Then after I was expecting that the HPV one to hurt but the Hep B did. By the way the HPV is just for girls if you didn't know. Guess what after getting our needles and biking I was so sore but I went to swim practise anyway. I did one arm circle, it hurt so bad that my eyes started watering and my coach sent me home and told me to skip that day and Saturday too. I can't wait to get in the water on Monday!!!!! Yay!!!!
