Retreat! Retreat!
This weekend I went on a retreat with my youth group at Bridlewood Presbyterian Church. it was fun and I learned to play a new card game.We had a talent show, played broom ball and went sledding too. Also, I got accepted to an arts high school called Rosedale Heights School For The Arts and I’m probably going to go. Some other people I know from school got accepted too.
In THE GAME
Today ( Feb 13) I had my school volleyball tournament. We unfortunately did not win any games, (there were 6 games) . We just could not win any. Our school hosted the tournament. We did have fun though. We got to miss school almost all day. I am such a winner 🙂
In school we are studying Ancient Civilization in Social studies. In science we are studying The Human Body. It is a bit gross though. In language we just finished Poetry. We are now doing a project on poetry.
P.A. Day
On Friday afternoon I went sledding with my two best friends. We had no school because it was a PA day. We went sledding on a really good hill. On Thursday we had gotten some new sleds. It was a really good day for sledding, just the perfect amount of snow. We got a magic carpet and a skidoo. We even connected our sleds to make a train, but we fell off a lot. Sledding is really fun. I think we should do it more. I really love winter. After we finished sledding my friends came over to my house. We had hot chocolate and cookies that I made. We played many games like Kerplunk. One of my friends helped me make a big Littlest Pet Shop town out of my twenty-eight littlest pet shop animals and little buildings.
The next night my family and I went skating at an outdoor public skating rink. I am finally getting better at skating. After we climbed on some snow mountains from the zamboni. They were really high. I really loved those snow mountains.
I am looking forward to getting more snow than we already have!

Fun is Where it’s At!
Fun, fun, fun is pretty much all I’m having right now. On Tuesday my class went to a Greenhouse to study weather. On Feb. 1, we also will be going to the ROM. Also on Feb.7 my class will be going to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra also known as the TSO. At the ROM my class will be studying Ancient Egypt. We will get to touch real artifacts. At the Toronto Symphony Orchestra my class, along with at least thirty other classes from different schools will get to play a song with the orchestra. I am sure I will have a good time.
I am enjoying volleyball very much. We have learned the proper way to bump and the proper way to volley. How you do the proper bump is to straighten out your arms and bend your wrists back a bit. That creates a straight, flat platform, so that when you bump it won’t hurt very much.
On Saturday I went sledding with my best friend Rachel. I fell off a lot. I found three quarters in the snow while we were sledding. With that I got some candy for each of us. It was a very good day for sledding. After I went to Rachel’s house to play. We played a really fun game for three hours. It was called iToy. It’s a game on the TV where you have a camera and it senses where you are and what you are doing. There are different things you can do like boxing, soccer and washing windows. You move as if you are really in the game but you actually aren’t touching anything, like hitting a soccer ball on your head. Where your head is in the game is where the soccer ball is on the tv and when your head goes where the soccer ball ‘is’ the ball goes back up in the air on the screen. I can’t wait to try that again.
