Hi!


I felt like doing a blog post.  This is my 83rd post.  Soon it will be 100!!!  That will be awesome.

Go Canucks!!!  I hope they win today.  Actualy, I hope they win every day,  except for if there was some weird reason they shouldn't.

Here is the joke of the day:  There was a women driving down the road.  She is speeding.  A police officer stops her.  The policewomen says,"May I see your driving licence please?".  The women says, " What does it look like?".  The policewomen says,"It's rectangle, and it has your picture on it."  The women pulls out a mirror.  The policewomen looks at it and says, "Never mind, I didn't know you were a police officer."

bye!

Soul Surfer

A movie just came out called Soul Surfer.  It is about a girl named Bethany Hamilton who, while surfing, got her arm bitten off by a tiger shark.  It is a true story, it happened in 2003.  When I was in grade two my  mom got me her book that she wrote.  I really really really loved the book.  I was so excited when I heard about the movie.  She is so amazing, because she is still surfing even with one arm.  The movie is really good,  incredible.  I suggest that you go see it soon.

Dance

The grades 5,6, and 7 are putting on a show based on the things that we have learning about in drama, racism, oppression, and inclusion.  In the show, there is going to be a dance number.  Today was are first practice. I really like the dance so far.  It is to Katy Perry's Firework. It is a really good song,  I had it in my head all day!  I keep you posted as it goes on.
  

My Mom Thinks Luke Skywalker is a Whiner

We just finished watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and my mom says that she hates Luke Skywalker.  She thinks he whines and is babyish.  She likes Han Solo much better, and is glad that Princess Leia loves him instead of Luke.  She wants to know if anyone actually wishes Leia would love Luke.   Want more proof?  Nobody voted for Luke on my poll.  Leave a comment telling me whether you like Han Solo or Luke Skywalker better.  Oh, and who voted for Darth Vader on my poll?  Weird person.

Circus At School

There has been someone teaching gr. 5,6,7 circus arts at school during the day, We learn to juggle, balance HUGE feathers on different body parts, spin plates, use the diabolos (also called chinese yoyos), use the batons, unicycle, use the rola bolas, use the stilts (the high ones!), and use "The Giant Wheel of Death".  It is all really fun.  The rola bolas are like a long, thick tube with a big piece of plastic balanced on top. you stand on it and move side to side while trying to balance.  It is so fun.  The Giant Wheel of Death is a GIGANTIC wheel that looks like a spool of thread.  You have to stand on it and walk on it so it moves forward.  Tomorrow is our last class.  I can't wait!

Animation Video!

Here is me and my sisters first animation video.  We made it over spring break. Ellie got a klutz animation book for Christmas, and it tells you tricks and tips and how you can get the animation software on  your computer.  Although we had made a few small videos, this is our first major one.

Here it goes!

A Day That Made my Feet Hurt

Today I had to be at school 30 minutes early because the demo/skipping team was going to two schools today.  The first school was called Ecole Pauline Johnson and was a French immersion school.
They had a TINY gym so we had to split our routine in half and do one half for the primaries and one half for the intermediates.  We did pretty good for our first time, although we could have done better.  The second school was called Westcott Elementary and they had a MUCH bigger gym.  We did our full routine for the whole school.  Then it was a quick rush to Confederation Park (my school) because the dance club had a dress rehersal for when we will dance in the Burnaby Dance Festival.  We grabbed a quick bite to eat and then we drove back to Confed.  Then we were off on the bus to Burnaby Mountain High School, where the festival will take place. We rehearsed, and then we were back to Confed.  My class was going swimming today as gym class, so all the kids in the Dance club had to stay with the dance/music teacher in the music room because there would have been no point in going to swim for just a little bit of time.  She but on some music and we went crazy and danced our heads off.  Then Ms. Ishii had a music class to teach so we got to sit on on it.  She got us to perform our dance club dance for the class.  Then she asked each person to say that if they good give a "dance like nobody is watching" award to someone, who would it be.  Somebody said they would give it to me twice! Then our class came back and we had to leave.  It was an awesome day, but my feet hurt!
