My grade 7 year was a good one. In December my class went ice skating and other fun stuff. In April my whole grade went to Quebec City for 4 days. I loved that trip quite a lot and I learned a bunch about the history of Canada in a fun way by actually experiencing it. At the end of the year my class went to see a movie and went to see a baseball game at the Roger’s Center. I learned a lot in grade 7. So I needed a fun filled summer to come after that great year. This summer I have a busy schedule with camp, visiting and of course cottages. On the 27th of June till the 5th of July I was at my Dad’s parents cottage. It is on an island on Big Rideau Lake with lots of adorable chipmunks and many kinds of birds. On the 26th of July till the 8th of August I will be at camp. In between all that I have birthday parties and visiting to do too. My camp is awesome, I love it. It is an overnight camp that is 2 weeks long. It is one of my favourite places to go every summer. This will be my 3rd year at this camp. I have been going to summer camp since I was 3 years old. I used to go to another camp, but this one is much much more memorable. On August 17th I am going away to my other grandparents cottage, it is great. The picture to the left is taken at camp. Then in September I am starting grade 8. This should be one great summer! – Erin

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.

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.
