T.W.A.S.

This week at school… we did writers notebook. You get to choose a topic to write about and I wrote about my favourite artists for songs and had about 23 and they were mostly like pitbull and more. Next time I would do a story with characters. So if we didn’t know what to write about we would use this heart in our notebook and it says the people you love and maybe your favourite vacation and write what you did there and a whole lot more. Then you can talk about them if you have nothing to write about so you can get ideas.

For phys. Ed we did a fitness video in the library and the reason why we weren’t in the gym because photos were being taken there. There were like 20 dances but we did 6 but they were a little too easy. They were not that hard and I would like to challenge myself that’s what you do in grade 5. Then we had to feel our neck for the pulse from our heart. What we also did in gym was an obstacle course in gym and I was playing hockey with some friends at the same time I also wanted to on the high ropes.

For art we did pointillism and what that is when you make a design then you trace it with little dots. When you’re done you erase the pencil (since it can’t erase marker). The piture I’m making is a rainbow with not the same colors that your supposed to do.I think my pointillism is going to turn out really neat.

Camp Arnes

Camp Arnes was so exciting. Most of the activities give you such a rush it is uncontrollable! Here let me tell you all about it.

Rock climbing was a challenge to do because some of the rocks would turn and some are missing! You have to get to the top so you can ring the bell so you can show that you finished. I did it so I know!

Instincts for Survival was a game that you needed a partner. You go around looking for vegetation and water to survive. There were omnivores, herbivores, Humans, diseases, carnivores, and elements and if you ask me there were sure a lot of enemy’s!

During Cooperative Games & Initiative tasks we had a 4 way tug of war) this was pretty hard. There were four groups of 4-6 just make sure you pick a very strong team or else you will probably lose. The second game we played in this was really hard you get into 2 groups of grade 6 vs. 5. You are in a forest and have to make a shelter out of anything you can find, like sticks, twigs, moss, grass, bark, trees and so much more! Ours was pretty big and it had a lot of holes but we only had a hour!

In Orienteering you have a map and a pencil. you have to go around looking for marks with a number and a symbol so you can mark it down. Each mark you get you can get points. You can get points of 10, 15, 20 the person with to most points won! Our team got 200 points.

Personally High Ropes was my favourite there were 5 climbing stations, I think. My favourite was the High Rise. I don’t really think it had a name so I named it. My partner for it was Alex the goal was to touch the top of the tower me and him both did it. It was 30-35 feet it was sooooooooo high!

Zip Line is the final thing I will tell you about. This was such a rush! You have to climb up a telephone pole. Then the person that is up there would strap you in. You go across a ditch really fast then you hit some tires to slow you down so the person could catch you.  Being so high in the air and zipping so fast it gives you a rush.

All together this was a really great place to grow and learn new things. We were there for 3 days and it went by so quickly! It was unbelievable! I learned so many things about myself like when I went on the high rise I didn’t know I could go so high and not get stuck ;)

Camp Arnes a place to grow!!

Funny Happenings

Today we are all finishing our name art. That is when we write our names on a paper in weird ways. Some letters have to touch the top and some had to touch the side or bottom. Then after all that was done you got to make some designs on it in all the spaces.  We had put some in the display case in the front of the school.

But before all that happened we had French. We were in the middle of French when Mrs. Dehn came in with her French dog named Louie. So then some of the class started to laugh because we were in French and she said Louie was a French dog. Some of the class was wondering if the dog could talk in French! Louie looked like an Oreo cookie. He looked like a yummy one too. Hope I get to see him again.

First Days in Grade 5

On my first day I got to see all my friends. Then we organized our desks and put our school supplies in our desks. We made our name tags to go on our desks and the name tags are split into four spaces and you had to draw pictures and you had to write about are drawings and then they got taped on. Then when everyone was done there name tags we had to share what we wrote inside two boxes or all four. And we learnt a lot about each other from what we all wrote

Silent Cheer!

 Then we had to choose good fit books and we got notebooks we had to write in about our first days in grade five. At the end of our first day we got our agendas and we did a silent cheer and Mrs.Tresoor said that’s the end of day one and at the end of the day we packed up went to the door answered our exit question then we went home.

My thoughts of grade five are its really fun Mrs.Tresoor is a really fun teacher and I like the art that we do. I’m looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people.
