Three toots for FREDDIE

Freddie was a little boat. He tried to push his way through Gigantic George and Enormous Eddie the big boats. They lauhed at him. The big ships liked Freddie but they thought Freddie he was too little to do the work that they could. Freddie said that he could carry big loads of frieght as you. But they just lauhed as tthey were filled with big loads of frieght. He knew he couldn't carry as much as them but he wanted a chance to show them what he could do. Freddie was up very early while most of the boats were still sleeping. He went to the Dispatch office. He thought that if he was the earliest he would have a job. But the answer came "You are to small do handle all the frieght in a harbour like this, sorry". He felt worse than ever. Just then the boats were soon out busy zipping around with big loads of frieght. He went to the far end of a deserted pier. Tears came to his eyes. He thought very hard. There had to be something he could do. He was the only one with no job but no quite. He saw someone he knew, a old little boat he remembered before he was lauched. He asked where Spotty was. Spotty told he was good and away on the river. Freddie went back to Gigantic George and Enormous Eddie. He asked if they had been on the river before. Gigantic George told him that he was too big and his kneel would get stuck in the shallow water. Enormous Eddie told him that he was too tall that his stacks wouldn't fit under the bridge. Freddie would have to to go to find out for himself. The very next morning he went to the river. He saw some boats even smaller that him and they were all working. He thought happily that this place was something the big boats couldn't do. He went to the sign that said Boat Dispatcher and raced over. He checked the list. There was a load waiting for Enormous Eddie. Freddie knew when his big friend was supposed to dock. He quickly loaded and started down the river. He wanted to stop and make friends but there was no time. He had to go fast as he could with a heavier load than he had ever carried. 'Hey it's Freddie", shouted Enormous Eddie as his sides open and the cargo was loaded. 'You found work after all", Gigantic George beamed proudly as he watched his two friends. As soon as the last barrel was unloaded he backed away from the dock. "Hey what's the hurry!" Enormous Eddie called. Can't just float around here there is plenty of work for me to do on the river," Freddie said as he gave a big toot on his horn and off he went.

Oh, what a day!

Yesterday, me and my mom was weeding. Few hours before we had told Jet and Yammen to come to my house. When we were weeding, they came over. We told them to meet at 5:00. Jet rode Yammen's bike around the streets. When we were finished, we played for a little while. Then, we went to Yammen's backyard. Jet went home. We played for a long while. Sometimes the ball flew over the fence and we had to go out to get it. Then, we went inside his house and needed something to drink because I was thirsty. He gave me juice. I played on the slide in Yammen's basement. It was dirty. After we played computer games until 7:00.

Track and Field day, we didn' t finish all the events so we are going to continue next Tuesday

Today, it was Track and Field Day!! It was kind of like Play day. The first event for us was Standing long jump. I was okay. First, you stand behind the line and you swing your arms back and forth and you jump. I got 1.43 cm. The record was 1. 72. The next event was the Triple Jump. That is the jump that is complicated. First you run up, hop once on one foot, then use your other foot to take a step and jump. I was okay at that. The next event was the Running Long Jump. First you run up to a speical line and jump. If you crose the line you are disqualified. My score was about 2.50. I was in 3rd place! So I got a 3rd place ribbon. I was happy. Then it was recces for 30 minutes. After, it was a ball throw. When I threw the ball it landed on the grass and rolled into the road onto someone's driveway. But it wasn't out of bounce. I was bumped out. Once, someone throws farther than you, you are out. Then it was lunch time and then lunch recces. The next event was 100m dash. I finished it at 8.59ms. I was tied with another person so we both got 2nd place ribbon. Then we did the 400m sprint. I was fast. I was 3rd in my group. Then came the 100m dash finals. They choose the top 6. I didn't win the finals. It was still okay. We had a very long break and we played in the sand. After what seemed like 30 minutes, it started to rain. After school, I went home.

We're goin' to Casa Loma

Today, all the students came to school except Adam and Arul. Today was special because we were going to Casa Loma. Adam had to go to take his tooth out of his ear. Our class had 6 adults. The adults were the parent volunteers. The other 2 classes didn't bring any adults to the field trip. Then we walked to the front of the school and we got on the bus. The ride took more than 45 minutes. We arrived at 10:00 am. When we got there I took pictures of the castle. It took 3 years to build it. It is more than 100 years old! But compared to Europe or Asia our castles are like a baby to Hong Kong's castles. Their castles are more than 8003 years old!! We went inside and went downstairs.
I still began to take pictures. We went to the washroom and we ate or snacks. I ate fruit-tips. Later, we went upstairs and saw a lot of rooms. They had lots of cool things like guns, bullets, air masks, and statues. We went into the bathroom and saw the toilet. It looked a bit differnt than ours. When I looked at the bathtup it was weird. It had so many pipes and there were 4 taps. If I lived in Medieval Times it would be hard to know which tap was which. I took pictures of the bathtup. Their light switches were bottons! There were beds and a piano.
At 11:30 we met at the great hall for a presentation for Medieval Life. They told us that there was a terrible disease called the Plague. If you got it and you snezzed and you breathed into it, you would have the plague. They told us that there was different kinds of foods. Then we went to the other side of the room to see the weapons on Medieval Times. Kinghts wore chainmail. It was very heavy. If there was a normal sword it could not cut through the chainmail. But if someone used a very sharp sword and slashed it could make the knight injured. The use of chainmail was to prevent arrows from hitting them. If they were wearing them the arrow would just hit the chainmail and be stopped completly. But if the chainmail was made very well the arrow would just bounce of the chainmail and head toward the shoters. The chainmail was very exspensive but sharp swords could cut through it. The man choose one of our classmates and he but the chainmail through the classmate. Then he picked up a sword and began cutting. Guess what? We gasped. We hopped he was alright. The man asked him if he was alright. The classmate told everyone that he couldn't feel a thing! Then he tried to cut faster but he still couldn't feel a thing!
AFter, we went to the secret tunnel. It was 18 metres under the ground and it was cold and dark. I gasped. It was so long! He told us that it was from Stonebridge to the cloest Sobeys walk! We walked through the tunnel. We screamed and yelled! It was so loud because there were lots of echos.
We went to the flower garden. There was a special tree. It was a tree that lots of people had seen at florida.
After a while we went to the stables. The wood was real wood.
At 12:30 we went to the garage to have our lunch. I had my hot dog and apples. After we finished we finished our tour and went to the gift shop. I didn't have any money so we left it. Then we got on the bus and went back to school. I felt very happy and I learned a lot of things.

Elemination

Today, after school I went to the big nets. We played with Jake. We played elemination. Yammen was in net. We played and played. My mom came and asked me where my hat was. I found it in my backback and put it on. New game. 5 minutes later, Jake had to leave but Bnjamin was here. He had his ball. We played elemination. I scored and Benjamin scored on Yammen. Then the third guy was eleminated. Benjamin v me! First Benjamin scored top corner. 1-0. Then I also scored top corner. The score was 1-1. Then I shot the ball from the left side and Yammen saved it a lot and it dropped into the net. 2-1. Then Benjamin scored bottom corner. 2-2. After, Benjamin shot and it hit Yammen and bounced off him and I did a volley into the net for a win. 3-2. Benjamin was balling his eyes out like he had a suprise.

Burning Wood using magnifying glass

Today at science class, I learned that a magnifying glass can burn wood or paper. A magnifying glass can burn wood or paper because the light goes in the covex lens and the light gets squeezed so much there is heat. I also did the experiment at science class. After school, I picked up a lot of sticks and some stones. I asked my mom for a magnifying glass. Then she gave me a piece of newspaper and I lay it on the driveway. I lay the sticks like a real campfire. I put some bark and wood chips under the campfire and stones. Then I looked to where the sun was. I pointed the magnifying glass at the wood. Five seconds later, I saw smoke from the wood. It smelled like a real barbaque. Then, mom gave me some dry leaves. The sun went through the magnafying glass squeezed the light so much that it made leaves burn less than 3 seconds. Once I focused it on my hand and it was hot! I also burned newspaper. A guy at my school spent 30 minutes burning an old crayon he found. He pointed the magnafying glass at the crayon and it began to burn. We also saw some smoke and fire. The crayon broke in two pieces. I was out for 1 hour. Then I had to go back in ! I think burning stuff with a magnifying glass is cool and fun. I enjoyed it.

She had forgot that not to talk to strangers. The wolf knew a short-cut to the little cottage on the other side of the forest. When he knocked at the door he was told to come in. When the wolf opened the door he pushed her in the wardrobe and locked the door because he didn't have time to eat her. He put on her hat and glasses. Now he put the covers over himself. Then, there was another knock at the door. The wolf told Little Red riding hood to come in. Suddenly, the wolf scrambled out of the bed and she was really scared. Suddenly, the banged open and there was her faather holding an axe in his hand. He had seen the wolf throught the window while chopping down trees. The wolf looked at the axe and ran away to the forest and never was seen again. She hugged her dad and they unlocked the door for their grandmother. Her grandma ate and ate. She told Little red riding hood that she was feeling a lot better and she remided her that to not talk to strangers on the way.

Canadian Citizenship Ceremony Cat cook call cuck

On May 3, 2011 we got up very early in the morning. When I finished my breakfast I brushed my teeth and got dressed. My mom forced me to wear gentle clothes. The T-shirt had a collar which I don't usually wear. I like to wear T-shirt without collars. It makes feel weird. The jeans was very hard and I don't like wearing jeans!!!!! It makes me feel very very very uncomfortable. We were almost late. Luckily, we were in time. They checked our landing paper and permanent resident card. Then we could go in and we sat down. Mom's seat and my seat was seperated. The judge began speaking. What a long talk!! He talked about the rules of citizhens should follow. We can have the right to vote. We have to obey the laws of Canada. It was boring! And we went out one by one to get our citizen certificates. I think kid doesn't have to go out but they did. So after my mom received the certificate, it was my turn. Nobody went out. The judge popped his eye and felt surprised. He shouted,"Hey little man, why don't you come out." Then the people started laughing. I came out. My mom felt embarrassed. There were about 90 people in the ceremony. They were coming from different contries such Pakistan, Russia, China and ............................... After all, we took photos with the funny judge. Then we went home. At night, we celebrated in a Thai Restaurant.
