Hornby Island is one of my favorite places to stay in the summer. My grandma and grandpa have a cabin so they let us stay there on some weekends and summer. The cabin is a waterfront house; it’s nice to have a cabin right by the water because you can get there in no time at all. They have shovels and toys to play on the beach and they have sepret ones to go inside.

“Canada has always treated people with Justice and fairness”

I strongly disagree because there have been slaves in the past. Also there were workers that got sent to Canada that were payed very little. There is barely any . Now there is barley any bullying and there are no slaves or workers. They were told they would get paid well. But they got paid poorly and if somebody dies the other part of their family wouldn’t even know because we didn’t care. Some people even bully people from other continents today.

Our class just had a debate if a seed is alive or not.

I think the seed is alive because the middle is alive but the outside is not. Another reason I think seeds are alive because seeds can plant them self’s. After they put themselves in a good spot they start to grow. They get water from the ground and food from the sun to grow. All they need to get to start growing is water and sun, you better watch out because of the seed gets cold it will die.

Do you think seeds are alive or not, and why?

Nursery trees surround me

there everywhere I look

I hear the wind gust right by me

while the trees are swaying with the wind

The moss feels so dry and old

It smells like dry pine in the forest

trees surround me

there is so much life in the forest

Cougars is like track and field, there are lots of things to do. Some of the field events are hammer and I really like hammer because you get to spin around with a one or two Kg metal ball that is attached to a metal wire, diskes which you have a Frisbee that ways .75 Kg, high jump, long jump, shot put which is a metal ball that you throw as far as you can, and finally javelin which is where you run with a javelin and you try to throw it as far as you can but if the back end of the javelin touches the ground before the front end does than it would be a fault. Some of the track events are 800, 400, 200, 100, 80, 60 long distance hertals, and short   distance hertals.

On March 22nd it was my birthday! This was one of my funnest birthdays because I have never had a sleepover party. At the sleepover party I played basketball first. Then I had supper which was pizza. After I had pizza Me and my friends went swimming, it was really fun because we were playing a volleyball type of thing and one of my friends made up a thing called the Jared express. After I was there for an hour, I got to go back home and have cupcakes. After I had the cupcakes I got to open all of the presents. A couple of the presents were a basketball that had a feeling like it had tire treads on it, a light up football for the dark, walkie talkies, and money. Then we watched old dogs, it wasn’t as good of a movie as I thought it was going to be but I would rate it 3 and stars out of 5 stars. Then we went to bed and me and one of my friends got up at 6:30 in the morning and the rest of my friends started to wake up.

Pacific Shores is one of my favorite spots to go. The last time I went, I was with one of my friends, my Mom, my Dad, and one of my brothers. What I like about Pacific Shores is there are hot tubs, pools,  a weight room, and an outdoor hot tub. Another thing that is cool is I got to watch a person feed a whole bunch of different types of fish in aquariums the middle of the restaurant. These are saltwater fish that eat squid. They are feed once a day at 11 o’clock except for Monday. Many of the fish are about two feet long like the rock cod, halibut and salmon.  These fish came from hatcheries and from fish farms. There is also an eel that is about six feet long. The sea anenomies are about one foot by one foot. We also went to Pacific shores the day the Olympics started.

• Did you know that scientists believe that you would be able to get a replacement body part for just about everything?
• Another cool fact is in some places like Turkey people live in cave in the rock.
• The world’s oldest toilets are 4000 year old Palace of Knossos on Crete.
• Many supertankers are so long that can fit the Eiffel tower laid on its side!
• Thrust SSC is the world’s fastest car. It broke the land speed record at 763 mph on October 15 1997.
• The world’s tallest mountain is actually in the sea. It’s the volcanic island Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is 33 465 feet tall from the ocean floor! Mount Everest stands at 29 035 feet tall.
• A great white shark can bite with a force of 20 tons per square inch, that’s enough to easily bight through a steal plate!

• Crickets can hear with there front legs. Sound waves viberate a thin mane membrane.
• If it weren’t for the pule of the gravity the moon would go spinning off into space.
• During your life time, your heart will probably pump about 40 million gallons of blood in a life time. That could fill a swimming pool big enough to hold the Empire State Building!

I hope you enjoyed these cool facts. Do you know any cool facts?

I have a really fun game called skate 2. It is my favourite game now because you can get off your skate board and move stuff around like dumpsters,grinding poles, and jumps. There is career where you can get money by letting people take pictures of you doing grinds and jumping stuff like fountains. There are indoor skate parks and outdoor skate parks. My favourite spot is the mega compound were you start off at a really high spot, you get to choose out of three jumps. My favourite jump is the middle one because it goes down then it has a little jump were you make lots of air and you can do flips. There are probably about 15 levels for online. The inside one has an elevator were you can choose a jump that you want to go to, one of the jumps is the mega ramp and when I am playing that level I all ways go on it. Another thing that is really fun is you can do a bean sprout were you go down and grab onto the board with one hand and you press x so you jump up with one leg and your up in the air about a foot.
