Roping

Every Sunday through the Winter I go down to roping. When we get down there first there is a practice until 3:00. After that we have a jackpot, that is where you put in money to rope... If you catch, then you could either get points or money. Points is when you catch in your point run. If you catch one foot you get one point and if you catch two feet you get two points. It is very fun!!! I can't wait until Sunday!!! Here is a video!!!

Parent Teacher Interveiws

On November 20, 2008, I had the first term P.T.I.... I was worried when it was my turn but when i went in my teachers had nothing bad to say about me... before I went in my sister had hers. I got to play on the laptops for half an hour!!! At the end of my interview my dad said "Your Grounded," but he was just being silly.... Like he always is!!!

Bullying

Today Nov. 20, 2008 our class had a presentation. A RCMP Officer came to our school to teach us how to stand up to a bully. He made a list of things that bullies do...

Here is what the list said:

1. There is something called Physical Bullying.

2. There is something called Social Bullying

3. There is something called Verbal Bullying.

It also said that bullies don't accidentally bully someone, it is on purpose. Bullies sometimes be a bullies to impress their friends, or because they are being bullied themselves...

I learned a lot about bullying today!!!

Rememberance Day Ceremony

On Friday Nov. 7, 2008, our school had our annual Remembrance Day Ceremony!!! It was shorter than all of the years before, but it was still good... It started out with a speech and then the carrying of the wreaths... When we sang 'Oh Canada' two of the people in my class did the sign language!!! It was a beautiful ceramony... I think that our school did a great job!

Career Ed workshop with Mrs. Lothian

On Nov. 5, 2008 our class went to a workshop. The workshop was about your future career. We used the Macs to do a test. At the end of the test it told you some possibilities of what you might want to be when you grow up. At the end of my test all of my listings had something to do with agriculture. I had a blast, hopefully we can do it again...

Arthur Slade

On Nov. 4, 2008 the grade fives and sixes gathered in the library to see Mr. Slade. Mr. Slade is a Fiction book writer. Arthur Slade read the first chapters of three of his books. I think that he is an excellent author. In his life he wrote over twenty books. Not all of them have been published though. He wrote a book called "Monsterology," he said that him and his illustrator went to see Dracula. He remembered to ask Dracula if he ate left. Dracula said "Yes I ate I'll be good for two hours." Arthur was glad that meant that they had two hour to talk to Dracula. In the end Dracula finally said "It has been 2 1/2 hours and I'm hungry." So the writer ended up to be faster. Arthur ran for his dear life...

REMEMBER THAT ARTHUR IS A FICTION WRITER!!!

Leaf Art

For the last two weeks our class has been working on leaf art. Mine is red and has maple leafs on it. Here is a picture of it. I think it turned out pretty good. Hope you like it. How we did this was we had a leaf and copied the markings and shape, then we put little circles inside of it. That is what made it look so cool.
