We won 2-1 after a hard fought battle

On Saturday our soccer match started at 3:00 and ended at 4:00. At first I dribbled past a person and I tried to cross the ball but the ball went to close to the net so the goalie pushed the ball on the post and some on their team kicked it out. A few minutes later, someone crossed the ball and the goalie touched the ball last and it was our Own goal! We were losing 0-1 now. After halftime, Jagveer shot the ball from close up and he scored. It was tied 1-1. After that, we had a penalty. I thought Justin would score it but instead he shot the ball high and too right. Then suddenly we intercepted some goal kicks. They sent on their best goalie. I intercepted 3 goal kicks. I shot one from the halfway line and the ball went way too high. Another one was when I dribbled up to the penalty box and I shot but it was deflected off a defender. The third interception was a goal. I intercepted the ball from behind the halfway line and I dribbled until I was 10 yards away from the box. That you will think that was from far away! I shot the ball to the top corner--wait and I scored! The whole team went crazy! The time was 3:56 so the best team in the whole league called the Soil Engineers failed the unbeaten run! They lost only one game! The final score was
York Catholic Teachers 2-1 Soil Engineers. My dad said my dribbling was good and my teamates told me that was a good goal! So now everyone was talking about my goal! I was happy.

Danger! Boys Dancing

There were two kids in the story called Nathaniel, and Boyd. They were studying science so Ms. White their teacher told every kid in the class that they would be going to Washington D.C. soon. But there was this lady called Talullah Treeheaven who came to their classroom told Ms. White that they could dance. Ms. White decided that they would dance instead of going to Washington D.C. So, Fink wants to performance to go bad and not be on stage in front on the whole school plus the adults all because of the red devils. Fink and Nat call Marla and Jessie the red devils because they think that they are the most annoying girls in their class. The red devils told them they had to wear Tutus. Tutus are girl dresses. Fink and the rest of the boys meet at the basketball hoop and they try to come up with a plan. The plan was that they would make sure that the  practice was bad so they won't have a performance. So at practise, Fink kept on sticking his back leg out to trip Marla. Talullah Treeheaven said that she changed partners with Danny but he copied some of Fink's move and some of his own's to trip Marla. So, Talullah Treeheaven decided to leave because of the boys's behavior. The girls in the class were mad. Nat suddenly lost his best friend. He was taking orders from a girl. So in class the girls asked if they could have the lady dance with the girls instead. But Ms. white said no. They were going to vote. Mad Dog said no way because they would were tutus. Ms. White told them that they wern't going to wear tutus. This time everyone's hand shot up. At the performance it would have been perfect but Nat kicked Fink hard. They knew it was an accident. After Nat had visited Fink at the doctor's office he finally got his best friend back.

Fun Games at ETC

After  the movie we went to ETC. We each got a plastic bag with a strip of paper in it. We went up to the gymnasium. I went to the game station. We kicked some feathers. And there was a hobo stick. After I kicked the feathers, I went to the scroll writing. I wrote something like this.



I think it means to be safe!
 I went to paper cutting. I cutted out a rabbit. It looked nice. It was hard to cut. I got a little help from the teachers and I finished it. After, I went to Matching games. We had to match the animals that represents the year. I got it all right. I went to the Dragon's head next. I designed a dragon. I didn't get to finish all of it. It was late. I really wanted to go to make some sushi so I decided to finish it at home. They said there were 5 more minutes left. I hurried over to the sushi station and I began making myself one piece. It tasted really good. After I went to sushi making. I ate one of the pieces. It tasted good. My mom also made me an extra one. It was delicious but we didn't but rice in the roll. We put bread instead. It still tasted good. By the time I finished eating the one I made by myself and the one my mom made, it was time to go i the big room and we played big balls. Some one made a tower. I threw one of the balls and it smashed the tower into peices.

The seven wheels of power

Three weeks ago Max got a letter in the mailbox that said that out of 900 kids he was one of the best karate kids in the town. There were only 4 kids to be chosen at the Black Belt Club. He knew why the other kids where in the club. They were very skilful and were smart. He thought he was clumsy. He ran down the stairs to show the letter to his uncle. Instead his uncle laughed and told him that he was wasting money of his uncle. His uncle told him to give it back to Sensei the Black Bear Club owner to send it to the right max. Instead Sensei told him that he was good enough. It was obvious that the other kids were in the club. Antonio never gives up or complains. He can learn a new move in a week! Maia is extremely smart because if Sensei teaches her a move, she can remember it and do it perfectly the second time! But she needs a few lessons of respect. Jamie can understand the dojo way of thinking the best of everyone. After ten minutes of stretching, it was time to do karate. He was starting to sweat when they heard a noise. All the kids went to the carpet. Sensei took out a box inside the cupboard. Inside were crystals. They held them up and the sunlight made a rainbow on the crystal. The box of the 4 doors begins to spin. A man came out. The man told them that the tree of life was in the middle of the forest. The man said that the evil force wants the tree of life to die. The evil force called Master Mundi had come out of the underworld and took off 6 wheels of power. The wheels must me returned by the longest night of the year. They had only 3 days left. Maia chose the crane power. Antonio chose the bull power. Jamie chose the eagle power, and Max chose the bear power. They were practicing their karate moves when they vanished. And they landed in the forest. Before the grand temple there was a statue. Suddenly the statue moved. Antonio was grabbed by the statue. After some fighting the sage came and the statue went back to its normal place and they went up the stairs with the sage. Just then inside the building, they heard a rumbling noise. A tiger leaped through the window and a man with a dark cloak was in the room. He was the one that took the wheels off. Antonio was trying to distract Master Mundi. Suddenly, Maia jumped at him with a side kick. He raised his hand in defense and created some kind of force field that stopped her in midair. Then he raised his hand and sent her flying backwards and the bad guys were gone. The sage gave them food, water, sandals, and some camping gear. He gave them some rope, blankets, and two matches. Suddenly, the tiger leaped right in front of them. Max did a spinning back kick and the tiger fell down. Some creepy vines tangled them up. After Master Mundi was gone the sage’s mouse chewed on the vines and set them freed. Death was everywhere. There were dead plants. Billions of ants came toward them. They jumped off the trail. The ants missed them. They followed the trail and they found the tree of life. The ants came to them. They were trying to remove them. Suddenly, rain came pouring down. They ran for the trees. The water separated them from the tree of life. They climbed from branch to branch to get back to the tree of life. Then Master Mundi decided to make it fun. They played a game. In order to win the game they had to find the 6 wheels of power (The top wheel, he didn’t steal) in the right order. They started fighting. They pushed and shoved each other. Max managed to reverse punch Maia in the stomach. They stopped fighting. Dark energy was affecting them again. They stood on tiptoes to try to get the crystals activating. The silver leaf on the tree of life made the sunlight reflect on it to reflect the sunlight on their crystals. It worked! He was using bear power. He went into the cave because he knew his wheel was in there. The other bear in the cave saw the wheel and he gave it to Max. He went outside the cave and saw all of the forest. His friends were in trouble. He told them to use their karate. It worked! They were free. Master Mundi jumped right in front of them again. They were close to the tree of life. For a second, they threw all their wheels on the tree of life. Within seconds the forest was perfect. Master Mundi went back to the underworld.

The scientist called Mr. Gere. We were first group. We did spelling. It was recces. it was gym. We played dogebal and duck duck goose. Then the scientist stayed over at lunch. He left.

 Today, a scientist called Mr. Gere (Gear) went to my classroom. We were the first group so we headed off to Ms. L's class. We all call her Ms L. I will tell in case you were wondering why we would call her Ms. L. We call her that because her name is long. We did spelling lesson 18. After that we took a break. We watched Bill Nye the science guy. After it was recces. I took out 2 balls to juggle. Lots of people watched. After recces, we went to the gym. We played Doge ball. We were winning. We didn't finish but we won anyways. I hit the other last second guy and he was out. Some of the students noticed the way how I threw the volleyball to make it curve. Nobody could make the ball curve except me. I was happy. We played 5 rounds of Duck Duck Goose. It was fun. After we headed of to our original classroom. Then, It was lunch. For lunch recces my partner and I worked on our castles. After the scientist made us do experiments. We used two bricks for the load. We would use some hooks and some string. Sometimes we would pull the string up or down. I think pulling down is easier because we are pulling down on the gravity. We would use the spring scale to measure the load. At 3:24 he left.

Nothing

Today I kicked dirty snow. I learned that you shouldn't do it because it is bad. There are five reasons you shouldn't kick it.
  1. The car owner might call the police.
  2. The snow might turn to ice and if you kick it off some parts of the car might be broken.
  3. People might punish you if you kick their car.
  4. They might think you are trying to destroy their car.
  5. You might make the alarm ring and the driver is going to think that you are trying to steal his car.
On Wednesday I lost my water bottle. the next day when I walked to school, I spotted something blue. It was my water bottle. It was covered with frost. Inside of the bottle was ice. My dad put the water bottle at the sink so the ice would melt. At home time the ice was not completely melted. I splashed the ice in hot water and the 2 left over pieces of ice disappeared.

On Tuesday, I lost my glove for about 3 days. When I was walking home on Friday, Aeon asked if the blue glove was mine. It was. So the glove was inside his car.

The Fire Mystery

The Alden children found a heavy hat in the attic inside the house. They found grandfather sitting in his favourite chair sipping coffee and reading the newspaper. Grandfather told them that he worked at the fire house long time ago. Then, grandfather asked them if they would like to go to the firehouse where he worked. They asked grandfather why he had a fireman’s hat. The firehouse is about to be teared down because there were more people in town now and they couldn’t afford to have 2 fire stations. They were trying to save the firehouse. A bell suddenly, rang! The fire fighters put on their gear and they jumped on board. It was just few minutes when they came back. It was a false alarm. Mike and another woman came back. Mike told the children that he was afraid that the firehouse was going to be teared down. Ms. Lerner the woman had already hired a architect to draw plans of building a new firehouse. The next morning, they rode back to the firehouse. They had moved all the trucks out so they could paint the walls of the garage. They laid out newspapers on the ground so the ground wouldn’t have paint on it. They put masking tape around the light switches and doorknobs so they wouldn’t get paint all over. They started painting. At noon time, the Aldens were almost finished painting one side of the garage. There was a false alarm last night. When Henry returned the walls were almost done. Ms. Lerner wants to tear the building so they have to work twice as hard. With the help with few fire fighters the garage was fully with paint. Then, they painted the sign outside the building. Violet decided to repaint the old window boxes. They decide to have some evergreens. They continued to paint the next day. When Benny was about to put the lids on, the alarm rang! The fire fighters jumped into their trucks and drove off. When they got their, they noticed that there wasn’t any fire. Christine and a few fire fighters went into the house full of smoke and began fanning it. The next morning mike looked unhappy. He was unhappy because there was a puddle of white paint. Benny had put the lid on and they were wondering why the cans were knocked over. They discover that the evergreens have been smashed and Sparky’s blanket was missing. The bottom shelf’s trophies were missing. One day near Mr. Frerderick, Sparky began barking. They looked inside Mr. Frederick’s car and they found Spark’s blanket and the missing trophies. The police tied him up.




I like this book because this is a mystery and the story is going too wrong when they are trying to save the firehouse. I like the style the author used. In the part, the garage was spilled with paint, I would me mad at whoever did it. Then I would try to clean it up. Like the Alden’s, I never give up. If I bought new trees and someone stepped on them, I would buy new trees again. I would recommend this book to Breenadan because he reads A to Z mysteries too.
