Should the Window be Covered?

I think the window should not be covered because the window is to see if it is windy, snowing, raining, or sunny outside so the teachers could warn us if we could go outside for recess or lunch. The teacher also needs to see if the weather is ok or not ok. If they covered the window they won’t able to see the beauty of the outside.

The Driver

Driver’s License Debate

Dear Editor,

Should the driver’s license age limit change? Most governments have thought about this. Some people think it should stay the same. I think it should be raised to the age of 21. People who have their license at a young age could be dangerous, especially if they are drunk. This could cause many problems.
Also, the person might think crazy driving is ‘cool’. I don’t think so.
Once I was walking down the road. There was a car approaching, but I knew that the driver would slow down. Suddenly, it whizzed past me. In the window I saw a bunch of teens laughing. I almost died!
Finally, the person might hide a weapon and shoot people. A gun could easily fit in the cup holder or ashtray. That is why I think the license age should be 21.
18 years is too early for driving.

Summertime...and the living is easy

Summertime...and the Living is Easy

This summer my family and I went to Stanley Park I had a lot of fun. First, I saw a horse eating hay and I’ve never seen a horse before. Second, I got excited on what I was going to see but sometime when hiking I get tired sometimes. Third, we got to ride a Stanley bus, me and my family saw the ocean and it leaded to Canada Place. On July 1, 2007 we didn’t go to Canada Place we went to Cultus Lake but we didn’t go to the water park we went to the lake. We had picnic there and I met a new friend but I don’t remember her name now. There was another time when we went to Harrison Hot Springs we went with my dad’s friends we walked all the way to the lake or I think it was a stream the water was hot and it was getting hotter it was like boiling water. When we were done all of our exiting adventures my family and I got very tired so we relaxed. Do you know what the best part was, spending time with my family.

What I would like to do next Summer

What I would like to do next Summer

I would like to go to the P.N.E. next summer.It would be fun to go to rides and especially the roller coaster. When I get dizzy I throw up a bit but I think the roller coasters going to be fun. I think I’m really gonna like the beautiful sun shining so brightly as the wind blows too fast as if it was a race car rolling up high into the sky. Something that makes something fun like swimming playing great sports. I would also like to go Whistler. It’s fun and really exciting but it’s a long trip. Smelling the fresh air taking a long hike with the white sparkly snow on the ground. My mom, dad, and sister went high up in into the sky and I think the ride that we went to was gondola. I think I forgot.So I think that’s all I want to go next summer.

Crescent Beach

Casandra Shayne E. Avanzado Sept.25, 2007

Crescent Beach


When the class waited, I got really excited as if I was there imagining about all the things that I was going to see. When we all said the vow it was like rules about how to cooperate with other living creatures on Crescent Beach.
We all got outside and Mr. McComb’s class was going at Crescent Beach too. I sat on the bus with Lalaine she was nice to me. On my trip to Crescent Beach I saw barnacles and I flipped them over to see what kinds of sea creatures were hiding there. I found a hairy hermit crab and all kinds of different critters. I saw a jellyfish and a big crab. The jellyfish was all slimy and mooshy on my hand and the big crab had pinchers in them so predators don’t interrupt them. The crab was not alive it was just the skeleton of the crab. Naturalists taught us many things like when the different kinds of shells has different kinds of pattern in them. We walked and had to pick up garbage so we could get a prize but the prize was just a little book but it was okay. I went to get a piece of cup that was on the other side of the stream and so I went to pick it up. Everyone saw this heavy shark I could have remembered it because it was big not really big like the killer shark. My favourite time was when I went to the water because I had my rubber boots the kind that the water can’t get through you feet. On the bus I sat with Lalaine again. When the field trip was over it was time to get back to school. That was the end of my field trip.

Child's Rights

Dear Editor,
I feel that people whom have commited a crime do not deserve to have childeren. I feel that it is unsafe and offencive to the childeren and unberable for them to know the truth. It will interfere with the child’s work and life. For example, Chris Benwhaw took his childeren’s lives along with his wife, and himself.
I thank you kindly to put this on your website

summer vacations should not be one year

Falisha NOV 20,2007


Summer vacations should or should not be only one month long, and school year should last 11 months.


Ithink summer vacatoins should be two months . Why then we only go to school for ten months. Why because we want a bigger break and we wanna go to lots of places . Also we have been going to school for a while so we want a big break to relax and go to Edmonton or somewhere. And cause you wont have to worry that the next day is work or school. And the days go past so fast andyou will be like

Summer vacation

Summer vacation should or should not be only one month lone and the school year should last 11 months.


Summer vacation should NOT be changed to 1 month and the school year being 11 months. Kids should enjoy the time off and relax. Children are already in school for 10 months they should not make it more then that because kids will go crazy. Summer is supposed to be their time to rest and have fun after doing all the hard work. Summer vacation is about spending time in the sun or getting together with your friends or family to enjoy time together. 2 months is all ready not enough they should not change it to 1 month.

My Opinion on the Length of Summer Vacation

Summer vacation should not be one month long, and the school year eleven months. Summer vacation should be at least two to three months long because kids should have time to have fun. If kids never had fun they would drive themselves crazy with all the stress and it could lead to suicide. If I heard that kids have to go to school for eleven months I would think judgement would be unfair to all kids. Anyway, it says in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Responsibilities that we all have a right to have fun. If one day school really is eleven months long they should at least cut half of our homework and school day so there could be less work. Summer Vacation is a fun time for everyone and should be enjoyed by every person no matter what size, gender, or any other things.

Summer Vacation Opinion

Summer Vacation Opinion

Summer vacation should not be one month long, and the school year nine months. Summer vacation should be at least two to three months long because kids should have time to have fun. If kids never had fun they would drive themselves crazy with all the stress and it could lead to suicide. If I heard that kids have to go to school for eleven months I would think judgement would be unfair to all kids. I would raise a petition and make sure we wouldn't have to. Anyway, it says in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Responsibilities that we all have a right to have fun. If one day school really is eleven months long they should at least cut half of our homework and school day so there could be less work.The vacation and the school year should equal to 12 months because 9 months of school year and 3 months of vacation.They always have to have fun

Two Years in Jail shouldn't be Elected mayor

Casandra Shayne Avanzado November 20, 2007

Two Years of Crime should not be
Elected Mayor
The mayor of our city is a well-preserved mayor and they should not change that. I’m talking about who should be elected for mayor. Well it’s really not about who I think should be elected mayor but about why you should be elected for mayor. From all these years Dianne Watts have been doing a great job for the city. The real story is who should be next to be elected for mayor. A person who had been convicted crime and spent two years in jail for robbery 20 years ago should not be elected mayor of our city. I mean who should you think the mayor will be someone from jail or someone who understands more of the issues of the city. A mayor should be honest for what she/he is saying or he/she could be well-preserved like Dianne Watts. Dianne Watt’s job is to help everybody about what their problem is. I know you don’t think that because some jobs are worth more than taking. So if you ever decide to vote for a mayor pick the right one. Talk to Dianne Watts and talk about the issues of our city.

How old you you have to be to drive

Inderpreet November20,20 How Old Should You Be To Drive
To drive you should be able to get the licence when you are 16. Or be able to at least get your learner when you are 16. So you should be able to get your licence when you are in grade 11. Then get your New in grade 12 so you can drive to college. When you have your New you should be able to drive with two or more people in the car. But then people should be able to drive at least 5 km more than the actual speed.
Now that is my objection on how old you have to be to drive.

EDITORIAL:When it comes to transit,Surrey ‘don’t get no respect’

November 16, 2007


What does this city have to do in order to get the basic transportation it deserves?

Twin reports delivered to city council last week detail what most commuters already know – this city is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to necessary transportation resources.

An update on the South of the Fraser Area (SOFA) transit plan outlines the painful facts.

As the plan stands, Surrey will not reach the level of bus frequency that Vancouver has for another 25 years.

“This makes us the Rodney Dangerfield of the Lower Mainland,” steamed Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner. “This has got to be a joke.”

Indeed.

Currently only 10 of our 33 bus routes run at 15-minute intervals during peak hours. The rest take longer – in many cases much longer.

The plan to 2031 does not include community rail lines, and SkyTrain expansion is only given passing reference.

The Vancouver-centric TransLink loves to break out the old saw that this community’s population doesn’t make higher levels of bus service justifiable.

Wrong.

Surrey staff examined the operating hours of transit service throughout the Lower Mainland. Vancouver and the Burnaby/New Westminster areas are receiving four times the service per capita, and this city receives one-third the regional average per person.

In addition, the majority of bus service currently provided focuses on moving residents of this city into Vancouver.

However, almost 80 per cent of all trips in Surrey take place within the municipality.

Meanwhile, Vancouver is pushing hard for a Millennium Line expansion of SkyTrain down the Broadway corridor out to UBC, which would suck another $400 million in precious financial resources from the transit system.

On the same day council reviewed the TransLink report, Surrey staff detailed the impacts of the widening of Highway 1 and the twinning of the Port Mann Bridge.

Increased noise, deteriorating air quality, communities severed and isolated by the project, and traffic snarls are all expected local impacts.

What’s more, city staff anticipate half of the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge will be paid by motorists headed to or from Surrey. Given the state of the transit system, they have little choice.

When will senior levels of government understand this city is woefully under-served?

TransLink must take a hard second look at its long-term plan and put Surrey at the top of its priorities.

What I like to do With Snow

karl nov.19,2007

What I like to do With Snow

When it snows alot I will go outside with my little brother and try to make an igloo to play snowball fight. If the snow turns very hard I will break the top of the hard snow and the soft snow will be at the bottom. This will be taking place in my backyard playing snowball fight. When I am playing with my brother, I will make a snowman to defend myself. My dog, Hairy doesn’t really like snow too much because it is cold and he mightnot even come outside and play in the snow. I only play in the snow when it stops snowing. This is what I want to do when it snows.

What I Do When It Rains

karl Oct.22,2007

What I Do When It Rains

When it rains badly it would be inside day so I would stay inside the classroom and talk to my friends and maybe play chess with my friends. I want to play chess in the inside day because it is the only thing to do in the classroom and my favourite thing to do. After that I would watch my friends play other games. There is not much to in the classroom. I could read for fifteen minutes or more if I had more time. My book is ‘‘The Vampire Prince.”If it is too boring I would go to the gym and play basketball with Justin and other students. Mr.Penner will be playing with us too. When it is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I would go to the Library.That is all I’m going to do when it rains.

What I Do When It Rains

Justin October 22, 2007
What I Do When It Rains
When outside and it rains I come in and get some hot chocolate and go onto the computer. I normally talk to all my friends and do homework or play games. alot of the time it rains because we are in the rainiest part of Canada. So it gives me time to catch up on homework and do other things. But most of all I like to go outside in the rain. We play games like who could stay in the rainiest part and see how long you can stay out there without catching a cold. When all of us go inside we play games such as: chess, carmegeddon, checkers, battleship, and that’s it. Especially at school when there is nothing to do that won’t get you in trouble. That is why I just sit there and do nothing but talk to my friends. Although when it rains it is good because that means we can play basketball with Mr. Penner. He is a great basketball teacher. Soon I hope to be able to practice more often with him.

Summertime...And the Living is Easy

Summertime...and the
Living is Easy

In summer it was pretty boring because we didn’t have fun that much. I went to the PNE and played very less time because my dad needs to go to work and my older brother didn’t go. My cousin came because they were begging to go to there dad and he said fine. Gordon, my cousin’s little brother didn’t get to go to any of the rides because he was too short. After all that fun my little cousin wants to go to one of the rides but we have to go,then he started to cry not loud but just tears coming out of his eyes. At the van he stopped crying. At the way home he was very unhappy.

When we went home, our other cousin came because his parents need to go to work and he will not be watched by an adult. He want to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my older brother. My older brother always win all the time in Yu-Gi-Oh. When I win against him in Yu-Gi-Oh he will say, “It’s a fluke” and then he will duel me or my little brother again.

In the next day it was Friday and we watched T.V for a while. Then I went outside to play with my dog Hairy for a few seconds and I went to help my mom work. I help my mom all the time like chores and some dangerous work that I like to do. At the afternoon I watched wrestling for a long time. After that I ate then I watch some shows that I like. I watch T.V to 9 to 12.

On Sunday my little brother got books from the surrey public library. On the afternoon I watched T.V for a while and it was getting boring so I read a chapter book that my little brother got from the library. He got 3 books that I could read. In 9:00 I ate and watch some shows that my mom watches. After that I went to sleep.

My Trip To the Pool

karl Oct.9,2007

My Trip to the Pool

On Friday the 5th we went to the Surrey Rec Centre for swimming. We have to walk there to the Surrey Rec Centre because it is not far from school. When we got there we have to go to the change room to change to our swimming clothes then get wet. Since this is our first day swimming a life guard said ‘‘What are the rule for swimming?” After she said the question we all started to answer it. When that stuff was finished we have to get tested if we could swim. When you are done you could swim at the deep end if you are level 6 or higher grades. I was level 6 so I went to the diving board and dive. When we dived a few times the life guard put the sign on the diving board that was closed. The life guard opened the ropes. I swung on it 1 and I jumped into the water. When I got swing on the first time I was getting boring so I went to the shallow end to play with my friends like Carlos and Dustin. We were trying to find a big board or a boat to play with. We found a boat and we got on it. When we just got on it the life guard said that it‘s time to go. So we went to change and walked back to school. After I was in the school I have to walk back home because my dad has to go work and I was so exusted like my legs are broken.

Something I'm Good At

karl October.1,2007

Something That I am Good At

The thing that I’m good at is play goalie in soccer. It is pretty hard to block all the goal from the other team. In recess I practice for goalie and with my friends. Three or two people bring a soccer ball to the field and other people kick them to the goal. The only people that goes in goal also take their risk to save the ball from getting in the goal. It is not hard to save a ball that is getting in the goal because, when the ball hits me I don’t feel that much pain when the ball hits me on my hands. But when hits me on my stomach it hurts badly but not that badly. I got hit on my stomach two or three times from my friends. In lunch time we do a few minute warm up because we need to wait until all the players come. When they come late the persons still get picked by 1 of the teams. I always come early so I could do warm up. Sometimes we don’t do warm up and just start the game soon as possible. I could be goalie or something else. We pick randomly for the team captains and the captains pick their team. When get picked the captain might put me in goalie or a defense or the out fielder. Last Friday and Thursday we got owned by the other team. The score was 0/5 on Thursday and on Friday It was 0/3. We are the team with the zero points. The other team gets more good players than us. Before Thursday we won the game. I think our team is going to lose....... or win. That is thing that I’m good at. Another thing that I’m good at is drawing. I learn to draw since 2001. I was drawing crazy stuff like dinosaur and cartoon. But now I draw anything that I know, for example dinosaur, dragons, animals, cartoon, and vehicles. That is the last thing that I am good at.

Crescent Beach

karl Sept.25,2007

Crescent Beach

Yesterday our class went to the Crecent Beach. We have to go to school at 8:30 am to go to the field trip. When we were in the bus it was soo borring because I have nothing to do. After that long ride we were there. There was Liz, Alice, and Ester will tell us what to do in the beach. When we were at the stairs it was so high from the ground. When we got there we each get a partner and then get a plastic container. My partner was Carlos and we have to put some sea animals in the container. I collected alot of small crabs, some hermit crabs, sea snails, and jellyfish. After we ate snack for a few minutes then we showed our sea animals to everyone in our class and Mr.McComb’s class. When we were done we started walking. On our way I was looking for another sea life while I was walking. I was following Dustin, Carlos, and Dakota. When we almost there we stopped and start eating lunch.I didn’t bring a lunch so I went to play with my friends. We were trying to find flat rocks so we could use the rocks to make it skip on top of the water. We played for a long time then Mr.McComb blew his whistle so the students will come. When we started walking again me and Carlos found a dead shark on the beach. We called dustin here and Andy came holding up the shark to show everyone. We got it up then we took a picture of the shark. After the shark picture we went to the bus and went back to school.

A messed up story starring a haunted church, a fiance, a soldier, and a text book

Lalaine October 5, 2007
The Most Messed up Story in the World!!
One day, a soldier proposed to a woman. She was full of joy. On the day of the wedding, they played games. (But they didn’t let Rudolph play.) The last game was hide and seek. The woman hid inside a chest because she knew no one would find her. A few minutes later someone but a 1000000 page book on top of it. The woman was stuck. Back at the wedding nobody could find her but they couldn’t find her. 20 years later a man was cleaning an attic. He opened an old dirty chest with a really bad smell. Inside was a a rotten corpse full of maggots wearing a bride’s dress full of holes. The bride won in the game of hide and seek.

Thanksgiving

Lalaine Oct. 9,2007
My Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving is a fun time to give thanks. It is also is part of my family tradition. These are the things I did on my Thanksgiving Weekend.
On Saturday, I watched Halloween movies on the Family Channel while colouring my Rights Poster. The movies were, “Halloween Town” and, “My Mom’s on a Date with a Vampire.” After the movies I read my book, “Drowned Wednesday.” At night, I ate Chinese food. There was chowmein, lemon chicken, and other things.
On Sunday, I woke up at 10 AM. Actually, I was awaken by my little sister who told me to peel potatoes for mashed potatoes. My big sister, Alyssa, and I peeled around 25 potatoes. At 4 PM, my family went to church. At my Sunday School we had a mini worship service. We had a play and I was a narrater. After that, we put icing on a cake and decorated it. Later on, my family went to our cousins house. It is a family tradition that we go there at Thanksgiving and Christmas. At their house, we had to wait for two more people. While waiting, we played pickup sticks. I lost with one stick. After the game was done, we ate. I had mashed potatoes and turkey with gravy. We played with my cousins Wii, after we ate. They had two games Wario and Monkey Ball. I played both of them but my sisters didn’t. I liked playing the Wario game because it was really random. Later we went home.
On Monday, I finished my poster and “Drowned Wednesday.” It was a good book. I have to read “Sir Thursday,” next. I slept most of the day but I did do something but I don’t remember. On the next day, I went to school.
I love my family tradition it was delightful. I don’t want to change it even if you offered me a million dollars. (But if you offer a trillion I might think about it.) I am thankful for my family and friends.

What I Would Like to do Next Summer

karl Sept.18,2007

What I Would Like To
Do Next Summer

In the next summer I might go to the beach with my parents and brothers. In the beach we will find crabs under rocks and put them on a rock then put sand around them so the crabs will fight. After the crab fighting we will start eating. When I am going to eat I will throw some bread or other food at the seagulls. 2 years ago I threw some bread at the seagull and the crows start fighting with the seagulls. That crow that was fighting the seagull won. The crow flew away from us and start eating the bread. I think my dad will take me to the water and see what is out in the water.

My second thing for this coming 2008 summer time is to the Play Land. My dad will buy me some tickets for the rides. There is a ride I haven’t tried but my dad tried it. I forgot what name it was called but it still looks fun. It is hard to decide what to do in the next summer.

Something I am Good at

Lalaine Oct. 01, 2007
Something I am Good at...
I am good at being distracted. I get distracted easily if there is something else that is interesting other than the thing I am supposed to be watching.
Math is another thing I’m skilled at. I don’t know why because Math is my least favourite subject. My favourite type of Math is long division.
Reading is fun to do. I do it on my spare time. A few great books I have read are, all of the Harry Potter books, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and others.
I like spelling because it is easy and I am good at it. I think I am good at spelling because a read a lot of books with lots of interesting words.
Drawing is another of my favourite things I like to do that I am good at. If I have no books to read I draw. My favourite thing to draw is anime because it looks really awesome.
Another thing I am good at is making a web site. There is an extravagant web site called Piczo were you can design a web site.
A game I am good at is Stepmania. Stepmania is like DDR (Dance Dance Revoulution) except that you can use a keyboard. It is for computers.

Living is Easy

karl

In summer it was pretty boring because we didn’t have fun that much. I went to the PNE and played very less time because my dad needs to go to work and my older brother didn’t go. My cousin came because they were begging to go to there dad and he said fine. Gordon, my cousin’s little brother didn’t get to go to any of the rides because he was too short. After all that fun my little cousin wants to go to one of the rides but we have to go,then he started to cry not loud but just tears coming out of his eyes. At the van he stopped crying. At the way home he was very unhappy.

When we went home, our other cousin came because his parents need to go to work and he will not be watched by an adult. He want to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my older brother. My older brother always win all the time in Yu-Gi-Oh. When I win against him in Yu-Gi-Oh he will say, “It’s a fluke” and then he will duel me or my little brother again.

In the next day it was Friday and we watched T.V for a while. Then I went outside to play with my dog Hairy for a few seconds and I went to help my mom work. I help my mom all the time like chores and some dangerous work that I like to do. At the afternoon I watched wrestling for a long time. After that I ate then I watch some shows that I like. I watch T.V to 9 to 12.

Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach
On September 24, 2007, my class went to Crescent Beach. We used a bus to get there. On the bus I listened to my Ipod. When we got there, a few people came to meet us there. They were naturalist. They talked about how boundary bay was a place where many birds came to rest during migration. After the discussion, we went down wooden stairs. Luckily, the stairs weren’t wet like last year. When everyone was there, they gave us containers to fill up with water and put different types of animals. I got crabs, jellyfish, hermit crabs, a clam, and other things. After a while me and my sister went further into the low tide zone. Did you know that if you shouted loud enogh you will here an echo. The further we went the more deeper the puddles were. After we had to go walk down the beach. At that time my socks and shoes were wet. It was very uncomfortable. On the way I picked up some litter. Most of the garbage was broken glass from beer bottles. When it was time to eat I accidentally dropped my lunch. Luckily my friends were kind enough to give some of their lunch. After awhile we amused ourselves by going on the nearby beach. Later on we went home on the bus.

Andy's Thanksgiving

Andy Oct.9th,2007 My Thanksgiving Weekend

On Thanksgiving, I had a birthday party. I invited three of my friends but one could not come. I could only invite three because the car could not fit everyone. When my friends came, we played Gamecube and ate pizza. Later we opened my presents. I got Pokemon Diamond and Field Commander.

At three o’ clock my friends and I went to X-Calibur. It is a bowling area and has a grill and arcade. I bowled and got four strikes. My friend Daniel was last, with a score of 65. I was first with 89. My other freind got 86, which was real close to me. After, we went to the arcade and played some games.

When we got home, we played some more. My mom’s friend came and gave me $30. My friends ate more food and the party ended at 6:00. I then did my homework.

I was up the whole night finishing my homework.

What i want to do next summer

hat I Would Like To Do Next Summer.


Next summer I would like to go to California with my friend to visit her sister. I would like to go to America because I want to visit the Water Park and go on all the rides and go shopping there. Last time I went to America was in the winter break and I had alot of fun with my friends there. There is alot of things to do in America. My friend has three cousins there. Last time I was there it was really fun because they had alot of parties and alot of people over. One time, I was on the stairs and so was my friend’s cousin he wanted to jump but I told him not to his answer was “Okay,” But when I turned around he quickly got ready to jump. I caught him and and told him not to do it again. Once again he said, “Okay.” I went downstairs came back up and he had already jumped. The other good thing about California is that they have a cat named Stewie. Stewie is orange and white and is very cute. When I was there we stayed up until 2:00am playing Monopoly. On new Years Eve it was my friends mom’s birthday and they had thrown her a suprise birthday party and we all had cake. Also one time when all the parents went out I was alone with my friend and her two cousin’s one cousin is about 9 and the other one is 14 and also my friend’s little cousin’s friend was there.


We were all watching t.v. peacefully and then suddenly my friend’s little cousin’s friend came and sat in front of the t.v. my friend’s cousin told him to move but he wouldn’t budge. My friend’s cousin got really mad and started kicking his back so he would move. At that time I had fallen asleep. My friend’s cousin started kicking he friend and then suddenly his friend turned around and punched him. THAT MADE MY FRIEND’S COUSIN MAD! he also got up and they started hitting each other. Not slapping or hitting lightly I mean it was hard and my friend’s other cousin was just watching, saying” They have to learn sometime.” They kept hitting each other and they woke me up. When I woke up me and my friend tried to pull them apart, but they were like a cat and a dog they kept pushing us so we would move and they could get on with their fight. My friend’s cousin want her to let go but accidentally hit her hard. She let go and he turned around to see if she was okay. After that he got madder. I was still trying to hold his little friend so he wouldn’t attack him. After that they jumped to it again. And my friend’s cousin pulled his friends ear. His friend was crying at this point. My friend and I couldn’t stop laughing I fell on the floor laughing hard because as serious as it was it was HILARIOUS. His friend was screaming and all my friend’s cousin said was “ He should have moved.” Evil right? well after that they settled down for a little then went at it again this time me and my friend got them to stop permantetly and my friend’s cousin was just watching t.v. while his friend sat there screaming because his ear hurt. All I can say is you had to be there because it was funny.

Trip to the pool

My Trip To The Pool

My trip to the pool was fun. It was very long but it was fun. Getting to the pool took 20 minutes and coming back took us 20 minutes. 40 all together. We had a short period of time swimming in the pool because the life guard had to explain the rules of the swimming pool. After that my friends and I went inside the pool and started playing. We played pool tag for a little. Then Amy and Ashika started floating on their back . After we swam for about 30 minutes we started to go and change in the bathroom and we lined up to get ready to go back to class. The walk was very long and it seemed even longer on the way back. Everybody was tired. We got back to class at 3:00 oclock. Everyone got their stuff and ran out the door for their long weekend. I was in such a rush I forgot my jacket at school. The field trip was fun (tiring) but very fun..

THE END!

Summer time

In the summer I went swimming alot, I also went to my cousin’s house and Playland. I went to Playland with my brother his friend and my friend it was alot of fun. I went on alot of rides. The one I liked most was The Orbit and the Wooden Rollercoaster. The Wooden Rollercoaster was scary because it wasn’t tight like the other rides, It went up and down and was really fast. The Orbit was a two people seat and I went on it with my friend. I got a little dizzy after it because it kept going in circles and spinning. I went on alot of rides in Playland. I also visited the Haunted House it was creepy because alot of things were popping up at you and they kept going towards you. My friend and I stayed there so long the lady told us that we needed to find a way out because there were alot of kids waiting. Finally we found our way out. The other things I did In summer was my friend came over alot. We had alot of fun. We were having a race on who can roll the fastest towards the other end. We also stayed up until 2 am watching t.v. and talking. The other thing we did was wandering around and talking about people we knew. Then on the last 4 days of summer I went to my cousin’s house. Everyday someone came over it was alot of cleaning and cooking, but it was also alot of fun. We had about 12 people come over because her mom had invited them. My cousin and I also stayed up till 4 am cooking weird stuff and talking. When we went upstairs whenever my cousin fell asleep I kicked her lightly so she would wake up, then I took away her blanket but I gave it back after. In the summer I also went to Harrison Hot Springs. I went with my cousin her mom Her other cousin and her brother it was alot of fun because there are so many pools and fun stuff to do there. My cousin and I went to the indoor pool and we were swimming in there for alittle while. After that we went to explore around the hotel we found a big room were there was a big screen t.v. and alot of chairs and the pink panther was playing. I told her to say and watch but she was scared so we visited the bathroom. She scared me by saying that there was blood in the bathroom and there was a women in there bleeding. She told me to go and see it but when I went to see if it was really there she wanted to lock me in there but I pushed her instead and ran away from her. After exploring a bit more we went back to the room and watched t.v. Her mom went swimming so we were alone in the room we watched The suite life of Zack and Cody and made tea. In the morning before we left we visited the dock and the beach beside the hotel. The dock was wooden so it wasn’t steady. My cousin and I almost fell. After they took the pictures we drove back home.

I didn’t do much on my summer vacation but it was still fun. I am hoping my next summer will be way more exciting though.

Something That I'm Good At

Jacob Oct 1/07
Something That I’m Good At

I am a pro at video games. Action games are my specialty, for example, The Matrix. This is a game in which you have to shoot the bad guys and escape from different places. The final goal of the game is to beat the helicopters. I haven’t finished the game yet, but I’ve got pretty far in it.
Another game that I’m good at is Grand Theft Auto Sandreas. The whole purpose of the game is to get your brother out of jail. You have to do a lot of missions and the guy that tells you to do the missions helps you get your brother out of jail.
I love video games and they love me.

Long time ago there was a man named Mickel Jackson. There he lived in haunted house in Beverly Hill U.S.A. With his family in a big house. They never knew that there house was haunted. But then one day there was plates braking in there house. Then they went to look and no one was there.

In the morning he saw blood in the shower the blood was on the bottom of the tub. That really freaked him out and he came out of the shower right away. Later he got dressed and went to look at the blood and it wasn’t there. Then his friend came to sleep over at his house his name was Army Dude. The next day they both went fishing in the same boat Mickel brought a backpack. The boat flipped over and Mickel got stuck. Then Army went and got him out and took Mickel to the Hospital.

So they could scary away the ghost.
The next day there was no more ghost in the house. Only thanks to the dog they lived happily ever after.

What I Would Like to do Next Summer
I hope that next Summer is going to be exciting, cool, and most of all fun. I want to go to Japan, Greece, the Philippines, Alberta and Manitoba. I want to go to many countries, continents, provinces, and states, because I like to travel. I love traveling because you can sleep a lot, eat different foods, experience different things, have fun, and look at tourist attractions. Japan is a very interesting place. It gave us sushi, anime, manga, and other things. Greece is a beautiful place with history and interesting foods. The Philippines is my mom and dads home country. It has most of my cousins. It also has many places to shop. I want to go to Alberta because it has the biggest mall. I like the swimming pool (I almost drowned there once) and the amusement park. I want to go to Manitoba because some of my relatives are there. My relative Kayla is there. She is a very talented singer. In Summer I would like to read books. I usually have nothing to do so I read. I like reading nonfiction, fantasy, horror, fairy tales, and others. I want to make a great web site and become a better artist.

We were looking for little crabs and I found a lot of the crabs. I mostly found them under big and sometimes small rock’s. I got about eight little crabs some people found big huge crabs we saw only two big one’s. Then we kept going in further and closer to the water. Ever one’s shoe’s were socking wet because there was a lot of water that we stepped on.
Then we saw all the stuff that people found there was a lot of stuff. Then we started to walk and then went to the washroom. Later we started to walk and then we started to eat lunch and play around. Then the bus was here and we were on the way back to school. I was listening to my Ipod on the way back and on the way there. That was a good and nice field trip that we went on.

My Trip To The Pool

Casandra Shayne Avanzado October 8, 2007

My Trip to the Pool

First of all divisions 1.2.3, and 14 went to the pool with us. Mr. McComb told all us the rules which is being careful when crossing the street and showering before you go to the pool. We walked and walked and walked and as we walked by I learned to have an active life exercising and walking.
The lifeguard told us if we were big enough to go to the big pool. All of us can go to the pool with hot water but I didn’t go there. The intermediate students knew how to swim so that’s how they got picked to go to the big pool. I showered and then we had to do a swimming test. I didn’t swim that well so I had to wear a life jacket. As soon as I went to the pool I wore my life jacket. I looked everywhere and saw a rectangle shaped-like boat. It wasn’t made out of wood. I think it was like made out of a life jacket. I jumped on it and the boat tripped over a little bit. It was like wobbly like a flower going back and fourth. The lifeguard said that it was ready to go home. So it was fun going through many different things and enjoying a fun excitable swimming time.

Crescent Beach
On Monday September 24/07 our class and Mr. MCcomb’s class went on a field trip to Crescent Beach. On the field trip we were looking for small creatures that we can put in a little cup filled with water. Alot of people found alot of neat creatures. I found alot of crabs saw jellyfish, snails, dead fish and alot of neat things. The jellyfish was a peach color and it didn’t have tenteciles so it cound’t electrify me. There were alot of rocks on Crescent Beach and alot of crabs. After picking crabs looking at them then putting them back we walked further on and came to a very beautfil place. It was so beautiful and peacefull I didn’t want to leave. The sun was shining and the water sparkled and glittered. You could see the other class playing on the beach there was sand but it was very muddy. I loved the place we ate lunch at it was so pretty. After we had lunch me and my friends went to throw rocks in the water. After that we sat on the grass alittle and headed back to the bus. The field trip was very fun and I hope we have more field trips.

Summertime...and the Living is Easy

This summer my family and I went to Stanley Park I had a lot of fun. First, I saw a horse eating hay and I’ve never seen a horse before. Second, I got excited on what I was going to see but sometime when hiking I get tired sometimes. Third, we got to ride a Stanley bus, me and my family saw the ocean and it leaded to Canada Place. On July 1, 2007 we didn’t go to Canada Place we went to Cultus Lake but we didn’t go to the water park we went to the lake. We had picnic there and I met a new friend but I don’t remember her name now. There was another time when we went to Harrison Hot Springs we went with my dad’s friends we walked all the way to the lake or I think it was a stream the water was hot and it was getting hotter it was like boiling water. When we were done all of our exiting adventures my family and I got very tired so we relaxed. On September 5, 2007 Do you know what the best part was, spending time with my family.

Summertime... and the Living is Easy

Summertime... and the Living is Easy

During Summer I did many fun things here are a few of them. One day, I went to see the fireworks with my family but, before the fireworks we went to a birthday party for a baby. The birthday party was at a Thai restaurant. There was a cake with two Barbie dolls on top, lollipops, and lots of icing, from the Goldilocks restaurant that was near. I ate only one piece of the cake because I didn’t like the icing because it was too sweet but, I liked the cake part. After the party, we went to Goldilocks to get mamon to eat if we got hungry while waiting for the fireworks. At Goldilocks we bought mamon and boat tarts. Later, we went to Stanley Park for the fireworks. We circled around it around five times before finding a parking spot. At around ten they started the fireworks. They were celestial. I liked the ones that looked like blossoming flowers and that looked like they were spinning around. On a Monday, my sister a few friends from church, and I went to watch the fifth movie of Harry Potter also called, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” My favourite part was when Ηαρρψ, Ηερμιονε, Ρον, Λυνα, Γιννψ ανδ, Νεϖιλλε γο το τηε Μινιστρψ οφ Μαγιχ το σαϖε Σιριυσ.(<-By the way that is a spoiler!!!)A few weeks later, we went fishing somewhere. I caught two fish. They were rainbow fish. Another time my family and a few other people went to Swiss Chalet before going to the night market to buy some things. We went to the one in Richmond because it was bigger than the one in Chinatown. I bought a lead pencil, and roller shoes. We went to the night market again on other days. My favourite thing my mom bought for me was a DVD called “Spirited Away” which is my favourite movie. A few days later, I went to my cousins house. That was one of my most luckiest days. On that day my cousin gave me her old I Pod. Two days before school, we went camping in Whistler. We went with my dad’s coworker and my aunt and uncle. Later on my dad thought he lost the poles for the tent and went to buy a new tent. Luckily he didn’t because I found them in the van around ten minutes later. At the camp we played, Uno, Go Fish, War, Snakes and Ladders, and Checkers. My part of camping was building a giant fire. We burned sticks rocks, hot dogs, marshmallows, berries, tissue paper, and other things. I found out that if you put a marshmallow into a fire it smells like marshmallows.

Something I Am Good At

Casandra Shayne Avanzado October 1, 2007

Something that I am good at

First of all I am good at Science. It’s really fun and exciting to be a scientist but first I gotta have education and that’s something I am gonna accomplish in my life. Sometimes it can be hard but other times it can be easy too. Skating is my favourite in all of the sports. I have skating lessons probably every winter but not always. I just finished level one. In the winter I think I’m gonna proceed on my skating lessons. Third and most important of all learning. Learning is a big word for us and I think that to me learning is an important part of your life. I believe that you can do anything if you put your mind into it. That’s my strategy to learning. Responsibility is a good thing for you too because if you do your responsibility then you can change it into respect for you and your family. There are many things you can be good at like sports or a subject. I like being a good sport at all times. Try new things and most importantly be a good person at all times.

Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach


When the class waited, I got really excited as if I was there imagining about all the things that I was going to see. When we all said the vow it was like rules about how to cooperate with other living creatures on Crescent Beach.
We all got outside and Mr. McComb’s class was going at Crescent Beach too. I sat on the bus with Lalaine she was nice to me. On my trip to Crescent Beach I saw barnacles and I fliped them over to see what kinds of sea creatures were hiding there. I found a hairy hermit crab and all kinds of different critters. I saw a jellyfish and a big crab. The jellyfish was all slimy and mooshy on my hand and the big crab had pinchers in them so predators doesn’t interrupt them. The crab was not alive it was just the skeletobn of the crab. Naturallist’s taught us many things like when the different kinds of shells has different kinds of pattern in them. We walked and had to pick up garbage so we could get a prize but the prize was just a little book but it was okay. I went to get a piece of cup that was on the other side of the stream and so I went to pick it up. Everyone saw this heavy shark I could have remembered it because it was big not really big like the killer shark. My favourite time was when Iwentto the water because I had my rubber boots the kind that the water can’t get through you feeet. On the bus I sat with Lalaine again. When the field trip was over it was time to get back to school. That was the end ofmy field trip.
