CHRISTMAS

I love Christmas!  One  of my favourite parts of Christmas is when I get up at 2am,and see if Santa came.  On the other hand my parents don’t like waking up at 2am.  We all rush to the Christmas tree to see if Santa came.  My mother once got diamond earrings from Santa.  She must have been a really good girl!  

My favourite present I once got from Santa was a giant stuffed giraffe.  It was taller than I was at the time.  My other favourite present I got was a Furby.  Actually I got two Furbies that year and they now talk to each other.  However,after a while they get very annoying.  

We always have Christmas lunch at about 1:30 pm.  My Grandma,, my uncle, my cousins and my aunt come over for Christmas lunch.  My favourite thing to eat at this lunch is my grandma's cabbage rolls.  They are so delicious!  

After lunch everyone plays a board game, mostly scrabble, and we usually end up fighting about if the word is in the dictionary or not.  I usually change teams depending on who is winning.

Here is some questions for you.

Does Santa give you presents or coal?

What is your favourite gift you have received at Christmas?

When do you have Christmas dinner, if you do?

Favourite Animals

As most of you know, my favourite animal is the turtle which is most likely because of my love for dinosaurs and most prehistoric animals. I have caught a turtle on a fishing rod and the design on the bottom was red and yellowish.I believe it was a box turtle. I want you to know that the turtle stereotypes are not true! Turtles are fast. I put it in the center of the dock and it was off in seconds.The next morning I saw two more turtles swim out from under the dock.

My favourite dinosaur is the pachycephalosaurus, followed closely by the stegosaurus which is followed closely by the spinosaurus. For you who don’t know what a pachycephalosaurus is, it is a dinosaur with a bony head that they use to battle over breeding rights and to defend themselves. If these three collided in a heated battle, the pachycephalosaurus  would probably lose just because it has little defense. Then it would be between the stegosaurus and the spinosaurus. The spinosaurus would win because it is fast enough to dodge the stegosaurus’ tail and still land a blow on it.

My second and third favourite animals are the lynx and the shark just because the lynx was the first animal I have ever properly learned about and I have always loved cats. The shark because of the sheer terror you would get from seeing one. To be specific, the hammerhead shark is my favourite because its you would be able to swim with a pod of them unless you hit one with your leg, then it will attack by swinging its head at you, which will break all your ribs.

My questions are as follows:  

1)What is your favourite animal/dinosaur?

2) How you react if you found yourself face to face with an angry shark ?

3) If we were able to bring dinosaurs back, what would you do with them? Would you befriend them or not? Give a reason why.

4) What animal would you most want to be that is not your favourite animal? What would you do as your animal?

My Dog Spyryt

I have a dog, her name is Spyryt.  We got her from a breeder far in the countryside that is not close to Edmonton but I forget where it is closest to.

Spyryt is a Finnish Lapphund that was originally bred for reindeer herding.  she will grow to be a big dog about u past my waist, and will have lots and lots of fur.

Spyryt is black with tan splotches that look more like stripes.  She also has black pointy ears with tan tips.  Spyryt has brown eyes and a lighter black tail with a midnight black tip.

I came up with Spyryts name  from a movie I used to watch about a horse.  Spyryt’s name was spelt like this to be different and because one of the breeders malamute's had the name spirit spelt like it normally is so yeah.

Spyryts favourite activities include barking in the back yard, rolling in snow, playing outside, playing treat games, playing with my other dog meeka, and cuddling in the living room.  She also likes eating bones, going for walks, playing in the backyard with me, jumping on a mini picnic bench in my backyard, and begging to be pet.    

Spyryt has done a lot of funny things in her three or four months but I will name three things that I remember the most when she fell out of her doggy bed which was on the ground, when I scratched her belly and she had a spazz attack, and lastly when we put her collar on for the first time and she just kept shaking her head trying to get it off.

Now I want to ask you a couple questions. Do you have a pet? What funny things has it done? What its name? What type of pet? Where did you get it? What is its favourite activity?

Books

I hate reading but I love it also.  Sometimes when I read only a couple pages I know I’m not going to like it, and sometimes I’m so into a book I never want to stop reading.  I usually only read at home when I’m not supposed to, like at dinner, breakfast and bedtime.  My mom has tried to get me to read books that my older siblings have read and loved.  The book that my mom has bothered me the most about is Gregor The Overlander.  My mom also said I should read Harry Potter but I don’t think I’m interested in it.   

My favourite books so far are the Spiderwick Chronicles and the Uglies.  Both my older siblings have read Spiderwick and loved it.  If you haven’t read Spiderwick you should - it’s a really good book.  I’m reading Uglies right now but I’m almost finished and it’s really good. My mom told me to try it. The book I think I want to read next is Inkheart; my Mom said it was good and I've seen the movie, so why not try it out? The other book I think I should try out is Warriors.  It’s about cats that are warriors. My brother read the whole series. I once tried to read Sisters Grimm. I made it to the third book and gave up, but luckily my best friend next door loves them and I think she’s on the 6th book and we have all twelve.     

I like a lot of types of books like fantasy, drama, comedy and mystery.  I think the type of book I like the most is fantasy.  I actually am really enjoying Legend, the book that we are reading in class.  I also really like comedies. I don’t really like reading chapter books but I love graphic novels like Archie and Bone and Ghostopolis.  I read Beautiful Creatures as a graphic novel and I want to read the real book but I’m pretty sure I’m not allowed to read it yet.  I also read the first book of Twilight as a graphic novel and I didn't like it but that’s only my opinion.

My Questions:         

1. What are your favourite book?
2. What books would you like to read in the future or this year?
3. How much do you like to read?

CARS

I like cars. Especially supercars. My favorite super is the Koenigsegg Agera R. Its a very awesome and fast car. It is also a Swedish car. Good job sweden! If you want to see this car go to google images (its very simple).

My second favorite car is the Bugatti veyron. It is the worlds fastest street legal car. Its top speed is 431.072 km/h. It has been reviewed in many tv shows such as Top Gear. Alot of people in this class like it *cough* *cough* FRED.

These cars are very expensive(its obvious you would not be buying these for $100,000). The price of the Bugatti Veyron is around $3 000 000 to $4 000 000. Now the Agera R. Its price is 2.5 million dollars. Now you can see these are really expensive!

Now I have a few questions for you.

1: What is your favorite super car/truck/sports car/normal car do you like?

2: if you had a 9 000 000 spending spree what car(s) would you buy?

Why weekends should be longer!

I believe that weekends should be longer because than you have more time to do homework and to hang out with friends and do things with your family. Almost everyone I know believes that weekends should be longer. If we could convince the government to make another day for the weekend we could. Can we make weekends longer do you know? What do you like about weekends?

This weekend I am going to the eye doctor to see if I need glasses. Also I will have a sleepover with one of my friends. One more thing I will do is Cheer. If the weekend were longer I might be able to goin riding classes with my best friend (horseback riding).  If you like weekends please say so and if you want to have weekends be longer say so.

Now I have some questions for everyone.:

1. Do you wish there could be a new wonderful day for the weekend?

2. Do you love weekends?

3. What are you doing this weekend?

Activities

If someone were to asks me what my two favourite activities were I would say swimming and reading. The reason I like swimming is because it is fun and is something my family likes to do. My favorite place to go swimming is West Ed. Now the reason I like reading because when I it makes me feel like I am that person. Another reason like to read is because it is fun and  I can imagine that its just me myself and I.

  My family likes to do activities together and one activity we like to do is swim. We go swimming a lot so I find it fun. We also go walking to parks and that is fun. Me and my little brother like to play lego so we do that sometimes together but when I’m not doing all that I’m reading. If I could read all day I would but I can’t so yeah.

Back to school

The reason I want to talk about this is because kids don't normally like back or going to school.  I never understood why kids were always so unenthusiastic about school.  I've loved going back to school and school every day just in general.  There is just that awkward amount of students that like going to school maybe 20 to 30 kids.

There are some reasons I don't like about going back.  My mom shopping hours straight looking for the best deals at Wal-Mart, or clothing shopping and looking for my size 11 running shoes...Any ways last but not least the sleeping change and having to wake up at 7:30.  I love sleeping!

There are good things as well for people who don't like school.  Like going back to see your friends, playing in the playground or maybe just doing anything you would normally do at home.      Although you can't spend your school days in your room playing minecraft all day, you can still have fun at school.

Things That People Do

There are many different things that you can do out of school that will benefit yourself.  There are different sports that you might play, like soccer, for some people swimming, hockey,or any other thing that you might do at home besides the obvious:

1: Nothing

2: Watch tv

3: Sit and eat potato chips

4: Play on the most addictive thing that kids will do: Video games (not that I don’t, but that’s not all I ever do)

5: Apparently NEVER DO HOMEWORK

There are many things that people do. The things that I do are:

1: Go swimming

2: Go rock climbing

3: Almost every weekend go out to our farm.

There are also a lot of things that people can do, but they chose not to at some point in their day.  There are a lot of people that are very active, and then there are those that aren’t.

The things that I like doing the best are rock climbing and the third one.  I f hear that a lot of people will just go home and go straight to their X-box that they apparently need to be on with social life, and completely forget about the homework that is due for the next day.  

There are a few questions that I want to ask you now:

1) What are the things that you do at home that you like or don’t/forced to do?

2) If you have many, or some, which ones do you like the best?

3) If you don’t normally do anything, then what do you do in your spare time?

4) If you don’t do anything at home, then how do you get exercise?

Boredom Striking Summer

If you are anything like me, you will find yourself constantly bored. Not only am I bored, I am not sitting on a beach in the Bahamas either. Thats another thing, vacationing is a drought in my family. Technically we do vacation, but its the same, only vacation we do. We get in the car, drive twelve hours straight to Kelowna, see my aunt and uncle for five days, and then go home. Done! I don’t want to be ungrateful but that is my one vacation for the entire year.

Another thing that makes me bored is that my friends are always busy. Especially my best friend. Every year, her and her family go to Mexico and swim with dolphins, take tours, stay in luxury hotels and drink freshly made smoothies. Okay I don’t know about the smoothies but I am always so jealous of everything else. But at least when she comes back she has a million photos. So at least I can pretend I was there.  And like my other friends, when we all go back to school, I sit and listen to their incredible summer tales, as I re-tell my family Kelowna adventures.

Okay now I have some questions:

1. What do you do with your bored days?
2. Do you vacation in the summer?
3. If so, where?

SUPERHERO

That’s my superhero.What’s yours?~Scoozie~

Bye, Bye School

T-minus 15 days until the end of school, I'm looking forward to blast off into summer vacation. I will boldly go where I have never been before... FLORIDA!!! I can’t wait to go to Disney World I hear its so huge it will probably take a week to get through the whole place. Usually, we drive to our vacation destinations because we usually stay in Canada but since we are going to the United States. I have to get on a plane for the first time. Help me!

- (1) Where are you going during the summer

- (2) Have you ever gone to disney world

Technology

Back when  technology was started to be made it wasnt as good as the newer things.

When we started to make it we thought that technology was going really fast but if you think about look at us with technology we are going really fast.Think about it back when our parents were in school there was no google. Every time they needed a video the teachers had to write a letter to the library and make them send us the video. We expect things instant now but think about what they used to have.I heard that when the first phone came out it took 5000 to install it in your car but, not a lot people had phones so who would you call? Could you imagine how big the phone would have been now phones are the size of our hands.In the future people are not going to need to rember to spell words because all they have to do is google it. If we have brought a Ipod back in time the people would think that it was from a space movie. We have found a way to make things touch screen. If teachers would ask to there kids what do you think would happen in the future? Most of them would say that there would be a way to send video to other people live. We have that now.

1) What do you think will happen in the future?

2) What do you think technology will do to us?

Basketball

Last weekend, I went to a basketball game and it was pretty cool I had cotton candy and one team got 24 points and one only got 16 points. Did you know that William Anthony "Tony" Parker, Jr. is a French professional basketball player who currently plays for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association. Basketball is a wonderful sport and I enjoy it. My dad played basketball on a team with my uncle and he says that is where I get my “skills” from.

Basketball is a sport that all ages can play and it is very fun. Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.0 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.

Now for the questions:

1. Have you ever been to a basketball game before?

2. If so was it fun?

3. What did you learn from this?

A Small Town Society

Just recently, I have taken a trip to a small town where some of my family lives, and most of my family on my Mom's side was born. Now you have to understand that their population is 3,712. Our population is 817,498. You do the math. Anyway, this town is significantly small compared to Edmonton. If you think about how HUGE Edmonton is then you realize how many stores, and restaurants we have here.  They on the other side, have a very small selection, and all their buildings are old fashioned. It is a very quaint little town.

We usually don’t think about the upside in living in a big city, but we can always seem to find the downsides. In Edmonton, we have more than two thousand stores! They have maybe thirty.Now although it is much smaller, it has lot’s of nice scenery and good weather, and  is close to the beautiful Rocky Mountains!

My favourite part is the painted buildings! Along the buildings, they have cute little paintings of children and their parents, and cowboys herding cows. They are painted onto brick buildings, and it really makes the paint noticeable! Some of them are tall buildings that have windows and they paint people on them that makes them look like they are looking out their window or  doing something! It’s some really nice scenery.

Now for the questions:

1. Have you ever heard or been to Pincher Creek

2. Have you ever been to a small town? What was it like? What did you see? How many people live there?

3. Would you have any interest in going to Pincher Creek? Why?
