Over the break, my family and I went to our cottage. We went skiing, tobogganing, and skating. For a week, we were by ourselves, staying inside, playing board games, and painting. My mom got my siblings and I a paint by number, so we had fun doing that. After that week was over, my cousins came up. They have their own cottage on the same lake as ours. When they got there, we did EVERYTHING. Every day felt like a week. I had so much fun! We also went tubing with my mom’s two best friends. One of the things that I did not like on the break was the walking. My Uncle and Aunt recommended a walk, more like a hike, in the woods. They said that it took 45 minutes. Ya right. Like that happened. If you have read my brother’s assignment he said, and I am not joking, he “valiantly led us to civilization.” He was the one who got us lost! We also walked (read: our parents made us walk) to our cousins house. They live about 45 minutes each way, it was pouring rain, freezing, and generally horrible. It was as fun as jumping in a lake in the middle of winter. Our cousins challenged us to write a song, so we did. It is to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock.

 

Horrible, deplorable, memorable walk,

Mara’s in pain and Jordan complains,

Slipping and skiing, and we’re in despair,

In the foggy air!

 

What an icy time it’s the Cristy time, to walk the day away,

Precipitation, on vacation,

That’s what happens when we don’t go away!

 

It’s Christmas Day Santa get us on your sleigh

are you sure this is the way

I think we’re lost and I’ll never defrost

On this deplorable walk

 

Parents say it’s delightful kids are spiteful

Whiny to the core

Shuffling feet boy we need heat

We can’t walk any more

 

Kicking the rocks wait there’s blood in my socks

How long til we go in.

Spirits are low we want chocolat chaud

And maybe a poutine

 

Another thing that I had to mention was the food. It could have been cooked by Gordon Ramsey. With my mom’s stelar cooking, and my Aunt’s, I probably gained 5 pounds in a week. We had Beef Wellington, steak, chicken, fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, we probably had all of the food in the world! You know how people sometimes say “less is more”. This is not the case.

 

There is one other memorable activity I would like to mention. It happened when we went tobogganing. So, because we are really smart, we said, you know what? Let’s go down the hill in a pyramid. Obviously, it didn’t end well. BANG! We crashed right into the guard rail! Talia and Jordan, my siblings, suffered minor injuries.  My break was fun, even if we did not go anywhere hot.

In social studies, we did a project about equity and equality. In social studies, we are doing a programme called Children First Canada. For this project, I did a video on a platform called Powtoon. Here is the link to our video. Audrey wanted to do a play, but I wanted to do a comic strip, so we compromised and did a sort of video comic strip. Here is a link to her blog. Check it out! I really loved learning about equity and equality, because I didn’t know about it before.

Hi, it’s me again. I know, yes, I’m boring. If you are still here, you must either find me interesting, (very unlikely) or you might be forced to be reading this. I am going to actually talk about what I am supposed to talk about. Here goes. What you see below is me talking about the rocket that I made in science class. (I know, super embarrasing.) I wored a lot on reaserching about rockets, and alterations that I could use. I learned how to make a rocket, and what forces matter to rockets. I will post soon! Please keep reading them!

הנה המצגת שלי “על עצמי” אני כותב מא אני אוהב, ומי אני.

Here it is.

Here is My Egghead Project.

I made a trailer for my final Egghead project because I love making videos on IMovie. If Egghead was ever made into a movie, I would definitely watch it.  The quotes I included in the trailer had significance and I included them because I thought that they were very important. If I wanted to do this project again I would probably cast myself as one of the actors because I like acting. I learned that making a movie is not that easy. If you liked it, please comment that you did in the comments section. I would also like to thank all of my amazing actors who helped me so much. I would like to add a special thank you to Audrey Moore (here is her blog)because she helped me so much with acting and editing the movie. Thank you all so much!

I am such a big Harry Potter fan! In quarantine I won a bingo challenge from my camp and got a $25 Amazon gift card! I got myself a water bottle but I still had like $5 left, so I gave them to my mom and she used my money and hers to buy a Harry Potter Cross Stitch kit. On them was  HP and a silhouette of either Harry, Ron, or Hermione. I got first pick so I got Hermione. Her patronus is an otter.This is mine so far. I will post again as soon as I am done.

Peace out,
