The Dance

Today we watched a large group pf high school students preform a dance in front of our grade 6, 7, and 8's. Their dances were very interesting, especially the last one. It did not have any sound! I wonder if we will get to see another play like that one. -Jackie.

Day of the Dodge ball!

So ya, we didn't get to do track and field today because it was raining! It was like a hurricane hit! But anyways, instead of doing track n' field, we did a day of the dodge ball! During something like, six rounds of dodge ball, almost every one was annihilated at least once! And so that was are classes day of the dodge ball!

FRANCE

Hey guys,

This is TM, writing to you from France.

Today is my last day with Val, and I go to Paris tommorow, and get back to Canada on Monday. I won't be at school till' Wednesday, because i'll be really tired on Tuesday, since I'm getting back late Monday night.

France was great, everything was cool, but the school was really hard. Their grade 9 level here in France is like grade 11 in Canada (I was in grade 9 since Val is in grade 9). The teachers are also really strict (no offence to them), and were treating me like a little kid since I didn't know any french. I'm glad I do now, and I could finally get good marks in french class:p.

Sorry I couldn't write to you guys until now, I really didn't have any time, since school here is from 8am-5pm, and you do homework the rest of the night. On weekends I was busy too, I would always go out and visit different cities. Even if I was at home, I would probably be doing some project, or homework, they take forever.

When I get back, I'll make a presentation, probably powerpoint or something, showing the class pictures of France, and all kinds. I'll probably present it next Monday, if it's alright with Mr. H.

I also heard it was snowing in Canada! Here today it's a nice 25 degrees. I have to go back to the bad weather in Canada!!! I also read the post "Beautiful Day", but don't get to exited, because it's going to get cold again:)

That's all my updates about my trip, i'll tell you guys more about it when I get back, and i'll see you on Wednesday!

Math Quiz Today! or not?

Today for math, we were going to have a math quiz! How exciting, or was it? Apperently, 90% of the girls in the advanced math had Reach Out club, and Orff, and when the ones at Reach Out were done, they went to Orff too. So Mr.C tried to post-pone the quiz till monday, but turns out they will be gone then too. So, instead, we played scattagories! My team won by 1 point, and we got some whoppers (well I believe they were called whoppers, memory not so good though) which were the same as maltesers. They were good.

Beautiful Day

Today was an amazing day. It was so warm outside, that I didn't even mind going outside for recess, in fact, I wanted to stay outside for longer, and everybody would agree with me. Hopefully, the weather predictions won't change, and it will be even warmer tomorrow, meaning more good weather. We liked it so much, that C let us go outside for 10 minutes near the end of geography class. We played some football, and it was fun.

Science Rules!

Today, in science class we got to work on our awesome toys. I was able to get some materials for my awesome boat, which helped me visualize how it would look. I was able to obtain an awesome mini-motor which would be used to move my boat. Only a few people stayed in the lab to work on the toy however, because the majority went to the library to look for toy ideas and to work on the brochure.

Easter...Tuesday?

Well, I wish there was an Easter Tuesday, that way it could have been an even longer weekend. However all good things must come to an end. However the school had a monday schedule, so we didn't miss gym as we usually do on long weekends. We also got to finish our fitness breaks on our first day back as well. I believe the grand prix de classroom was the best one. Walking around the class sure does make one tired.

Sunny With Slight Chance of Volleyball

Today was amazing. It had been extremely warm (compared to days previously in the week) and so nice. 9 degree weather is for the win. However, to top it all off, we played indoor(chair) volleyball near the end of the class. It was quite amuzing. Team Chuck Lee (two best people in the world combined, can it get any better) beat Team by 25-23. When the game ended, the crowd, consisting of M.R went wild.
However the highlight of the game wasn't how badly we beat the other team, but instead of how T.V smashed it into the ceiling after specifically being told he could not do it. It went something along the lines of:
"Are we allowed to play it off the ceiling?"
"Not on serves."
*Smashes ball into ceiling on a serve and loses a point for the amazing Chuck Lee*

Score and Bump!

Hi Everyone!

Today, my class and I just finished our lunch recess and T. has an idea for our teacher Mr. H. T. asked Mr. H. if we can go outside a little bit earlier after school to play. But Mr. H. think we were going a little bit out of control after lunch recess. So Mr. H. will see and think about it if we are doing our work and using our time appropriately. After my class and I are doing our work and using our time appropriately, the school was about to finish. Mr. H. thinks we were good enough to play outside. When we play outside, we played a game called Bump.

Bump is a game that needs two basketballs, a minimum of three players and a net. We line up in a straight line in front of the net and the first two players should have the basketball. The first player takes a shot and tries to score in the net, after the first player shoots, the second player is allowed to shoot. If the first player scores, then he/she is safe, goes at the end of the line and the second player is still in the game but he/she still has to score in the net. But if the second player shoots before the first player, the the first player is out of the game. And the basketball is passed to the next person in front of the line. Also you are allow to bump the basketball away from your opponent, so you can buy more time to score the net. Basically, you just shoot the net and score. If the person before you shoots before you, then you are out. If you shoot before the person after you, then you are safe and go to the end of the line. A huge thanks for Mr. H. for letting us play outside!

Shine Guard and Shorts!

Hi everyone!

Today, I had fun at recess after we ate our lunch. I was playing with D. which is really good at soccer and some other friends that also play soccer a lot with D. We play this game called Elimo (elimination), Elimo is like playimg soccer but there is no team, you play for yourself. Everyone has to score two goals to be in the next game, and if you are the last person that didn’t have two goals then you are eliminated. The game goes on until everyone is eliminated except for one person, the winner. This game is really interesting and thrilling1

Oh Romeo and Juliet!

Hi everyone!

Today, our school had a play from a company called the Duffel Bag. There were three males and one female in the play. They had a play about Romeo and Juliet but instead of a regular long and tearing play of Romeo and Juliet, they changed it to make it shorter and very humorous. Instead of the staff of Duffel Bag played as Romeo, Juliet and a prince, they let one teacher to be the prince and two students to be Romeo and Juliet. Their play of Romeo and Juliet was really fun and interesting. After they had finished their play, we gave the biggest round of applause.

Broadway, Opera, Kabuki!

Hi everyone!

Today, we had drama and we have one more week to practice and memorize our monologue. Our monologues have to be memorized, we have to show the right gesture and have a pause if you have to. This will meet the standards if you do the following or if you have done well, you will have your marks in the area of level four. A monologue is speech that is spoken by one person in a play. In drama class, we get a partner or a group of three and we have to show our monologue to your group or partner.

Run, Pass, Score!

Hi everyone!

Today, we had physical education (Phys. Ed.) and we finished the unit of badminton. So we started European Hand Ball, for those who do not know European hand ball, it is a type of team sport where two teams pass and score a ball in the opposing team’s net. When you have the ball you cannot move any further and there is a border around the net that you cannot go in. Our game of handball was really intense since it was the first game this year. As we play more, everybody has become better at passing and scoring. T. from my team and my Phys. Squad made many good passes and had a great block. Z. also had amazing defense and as the Phys. Ed. Period finishes, we all had fun.

hi everyone!!!
Is it just me or does it seem like this week will never end? I'm so excited for March break. we have an entire week to sleep in and do whatever we want. I'm just excited to finally get me cast off. unfortunately I'm not going anywhere for March break, but that's ok because there is lots to do. For example, study, read a history text book, and do math problems. Oh wait that's my list of things not to do on March break, how did that get in there.

Sorry for the late post guys, I trying to count cards in blackjack... Anyways, today we had a supply teacher, as you all know, she was actually a very nice teacher. She didn't yell at us and command us as if we were all idiotic. She let us do what we normally do. Both grade's had a test, Grade 7's had a music history test I think, and the Grade 8's had the piano test. Okay, now your homework is...

Today was the geography test for us grade 8's. Not sure about the grade 7's but I think they had one also. It wasn't that hard, but I studied for the wrong things. It was our last test for geography... for term 2 at least. Mr. Carvalho is a good teacher, he's fun and knows how to teach (not saying other teachers don't know how to teach.) Tomorrow is his birthday also!! So everyone say happy birthday to him. Woops, I forgot, apparently he's not here tomorrow. Oh well, either way the geography test was alright.

Today was crazy!!

Sorry for the late reply, I was at the armory place near the library watching my brother get into the army. He is apparently in the army for real! It was intense, it took about 3 hours. I won't say all of it but I'll say the things that were most interesting. We got there at 6 o'clock. About an hour later the commander of the place came. He was the real deal, he had that look in his eye saying, I won't tolerate anything, and I will beat you if I must. When he first came he said that he was in this place in Russia twice, and that he just recently came back from Afghanistan. He was so serious while he was talking. He said that it was a privilege and honor to wear the uniform, and if you don't quit now, or get kicked out in the future, it will stay with you FOR A LONG TIME, it will be on your record and a lot of people will know. Right at the beginning 1 person was kicked out, I'm not sure why, but it was intense. I'm sorry this wasn't about school, but I just had to type that.

That is all!

Today in school I went to my Math class where we worked on parallel with Miss Murray. After Math we went to a fun and exhilerating lesson on Drama. In Drama we started our commercials on products that have not been invented yet but we will invent them soon. For the next period we started off with DPA and had an awesome battle to the death with dodgeball. One period later we had an awesome French class. We did a retell on our story about a little girl which was a very educational activity. For the last two periods I went to Miss Murray's for a Language class to work on my exposition. That is all we did today. Bye!
