Christmas Concert

To night is our big Christmas concert. I got a lead part as the grandpa, so I've been practicing and practicing my lines. I look really weird in my costume because I wear a bunch of make up. Today I got to make the star for the tree in the concert and hang up some of the decorations. Were going to have two shows at 1:00 and 7:00. I hope everything goes good.

Poster contest

I entered a stop bulling poster contest at my school. I came in 3rd in the four-five category. I won a five dollar gift certificate for the Oak and Rose Book Shop. I got "Jolted" with the certificate and a 10% discount.

Report card

In November, we got our first term report cards. I got really good marks in it aspect two B's in speaking and writing. My mom was pretty happy about my report card. When we went for parent teacher interviews, I got a whole bunch of comments. I'm going to try to get even better marks.

Curling

On every Wednesday we have a curling meet for our school. Me and Brendin have moved to the head of the class by becoming "naturals". We've stared to make a team for an up coming bonspeil. So far we've got me as either skip or third and same with Brendin. Bowman is playing 2nd. But were missing a player for our team, we still need a lead. If you want to join just leave a comment. We can't take everybody in for the team. But you have to go to Lindale School in Moose Jaw and you have to some experience.

We made leaf pictures for art by tracing real leaves and then drawing in small stems. Once you were done that you had to draw in little circles. It took awhile but they look really good when there done.

Bullying programs

Today we had an assembly about bullying and how to cope with it in the morning. In the afternoon we had another program with a police officer on how bullying hurts and all the different things you can do to prevent bullying. He told us about the three different forms of bullying.

• Verbal, which is like swearing, calling somebody names, and saying that they suck, or something like that.


• Social, this category is about spreading rumors, and excluding people from different groups.


• Physical, this includes: hitting, kicking, tackling, and other physical roughness.

It was a good learning experience.

Career Workshop

On November 5 we had a work shop on picking careers. The teacher showed us a site that you go to for a test on what careers are best for us. She said that you don't have to pick your career right away. They had a thing called "Career-O-Matic" that was supposed to choose your career but of course, it doesn't work. I got some pretty crazy things like a limo driver for chickens. It was a great educational program.

On November 7th we had our remembrance day service. At the start, the choir sang a song about wishes. It was fallowed by a presentation from a veteran and more songs. My friend from the bus played the violin and our teacher played the trombone. There were two kids in front of me that were very rude. It was a great and respectful service.

Arthur Slade

On November 4th the Saskatchewan born author, Arthur Slade, gave a presentation about his many different novels. The reason why we were all wearing tin foil hats was because of how in his book titled "Jolted" the kid had to wear a tin foil hat through elementary school so he didn't get hit by lighting. His favorite book and most successful book was the Saskatchewan based book called "Dust". He tried to trick us with the book "Monsterology" by saying that his friend and illustrator was eating by Dracula, but his downfall was that he wrote fiction novels.

Halloween Dance

On October 31st we had a Halloween dance for grades 5-8. There were about four different events, snowball, free style, sit down, and lead dances. We had our skeletons hung up on the basket ball net with glow sticks in there heads and ribs. I had a lot of fun at the dance.I couldn't wait until trick or treating.

Red Sky Theatre

On October 30th a play called How Raven Stole The Sun in or gym. There were three actors. It was a story about a trickster raven who turned in to a pine needle so that the girl would drink him and he could get into the house and open the boxes that had the moon the stars and the sun. they had a whole bunch of tricks so that it would look really good. I really enjoyed the play and we got to miss math.

Art Gallery The Second Trip

On Wednesday October 29 we went to the Art Gallery for our second tour on War Brides. The artist was Bev Tosh who was born in New Zealand. She had three large portraits of her mother, Terrie, and some weeping person who wrote a poem. She had one parachute ark works hung up in the middle of the room and one on the wall. There were about three walls that and pieces of ply wood with war brides on them. After the tour we went to the hands on room to do a self portrait. All and all, it was fun.

Dance

My class had a dance session with a dance teacher from Toronto. We did a break cicrcle were you go into the middle of the cicrcle and do a move or to. I TRYED do spin but I barely got of the ground. It was still a lot of fun.

Music

We had a class on how you can make music with about anything. I made mostly percussion instruments. I had a load of fun and we got to play along with the accordian.

Ukuleles

In Arts education we are learning how to play the ukuleles. So far I can play A Bad Moon Arising. I am hoping it will help me play the violin since it has the same strings.

Me and My Skeleton

My class was making skeletons out of milk jugs for health. I finished mine on Oct.6. The school is going to hang them up in the gym for the Halloween dance.
