I love reading fiction books because they can transport you to a world where anything is possible. One of  my favourite books is Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix because it is descriptive, imaginative, and original. It takes place in the future where adults are only allowed to have two children. A third child (shadow child) must hide all his [...]

For the past weeks it’s been raining nonstop. It’s been flooding and pouring rain. But today, it’s been actually sunny. Not a drop of rain. It’s a  miracle!  Has it finally stopped raining? I hope so. There’s been power outages, even in the school. Twice school has been let out an hour early because of this flood (not [...]

When I grow up… I want to be  geneticist! Geneticists study biology and are involved with unlocking secrets about life that have never been discovered. A geneticist is home in a laboratory, and mostly works long hours. They are dedicated to their work, and can spend decades answering only one question at a time about the genome.  It is [...]

As most of you know, I was new to this school on October 5, and I transfered because I’m moving to a new house. Our old house was a duplex that was five rooms — the kitchen, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms. So now we’re going to live in a two storey house. It’s going to be [...]

Hi everyone, A diamante poem is a poem that I was taught last year by my teacher, Mrs. Kennedy. Here’s the step how to make it. It’s a unique and different type of poem that I’d like you to learn. 1. The first line has one word. Now write the opposite of that word on [...]

Hi everyone, I am going to talk about bats, my favourite animal. Bats are mammals. I find them fascinating. Some people are afraid of bats because they look “ugly” or “creepy”. Bats have poor eyesight, so it’s interesting  how they can coordinate through the darkness by using echolocation. So really, bats aren’t really blind at all. They get rid of [...]

Autumn is my favourite season of the year. Autumn (fall) is the time of year when the trees shed their leaves, and the summer weather vanishes as the days grow shorter and shorter. The colours change from green to brown, yellow, orange and red. It turns from warming, sunny mornings to cold, damp nights. The rain [...]

Hi everyone, I participated in the “Count Three Out” assignment, and am going to tell of my journey. First I visited Miss. Wyatt’s Blog, and this is where I started my journey. I found Mrs. Carrington’s Blog, and on her Blogroll was Mrs. Cousino’s Blog, and looked at one of her students, Eric, and commented on one [...]

Today is Remembrance Day. We must remember what the soldiers and veterans went through just to serve our country. They lived in fear and despair, reluctant to face a new day;  in the past and the present. So, not just today, but every day remember their fate, and mourn the deaths of the courageous. Wear [...]

Hi everybody, I’m going to talk about the many places I’ve visited, and tell as much detail as I can. Hawaii In April 2009, my Mom and I went to Waikiki, Hawaii! It was very fun, we went to the sandy beaches, snorkeled above the coral at Hanauma Bay, witnessed amazing animals at the aquarium. Sea [...]
