The Tug boats

Today on Dec  the 9th we made some Tug Boats.  The whole class loved it.   We hammered the  nails into the Tug Boats.    It was EXTREMELY   noisy!  For decorations  we  got tinsel and  we  coloured it.     I was happy making it.

THE TUGBOAT

Today I  made a tugboat.  His name is Gundam.  I made the tugboat.  Then  I made the star last.  I made it out of wood.  It was easy and it was hard.   Do you see my tugboat?

The elephant's Christmas

Today Ken from BLG read us a book.  The title was called Elmer's Christmas.  The adult elephants told Elmer to take the little elephants to the forest so the adult elephants can wrap the presents peacefully and so Elmer can pick a regular tree.  But a moose said "Let the young elephants see Papa Red tomorrow but keep them hidden".  Finally Elmer found the perfect tree.  It was night time.  Elmer took the tree home with the little elephants.  The day after, there was still lots of things to do like... decorate the tree.  We liked the story and we hope you like it too.

We had eleven people wearing  red hoodies there was two gray ones there was one black one and there are five blue ones only.  When it was recess there was a lot of people wearing red hoodies and the principal took a picture.  I think the picture was very, very nice.  Can you guess who the people are?

Tundra the Wolf

Today  we went to the auditorium to see the wolf.  The wolf's  name was Tundra.  She was big and she is a girl.  We looked at  the pictures of  Tundra when she was small and when she was big . The owner  was talking all about Tundra.  Some kids walked all around for us to see the pictures.  One was the wolves in a pack and one was when  Tundra was small.   The owner brought  the wolf inside the auditorium and the owner let us feel the wolf.   It felt  soft and cold and the fur was thick to get her warm.  The owner said wolves like to be up high. Tundra went up on the stage three times. The owner put a ball at the left side and food at the right side . My leg was getting tired.   This is the best day of my life.

All About Soil

Yesterday a  scientist came to our class.  We learned about water, air, sun and soil. Then the scientist let us touch worms. The scientist

blew  air   at  Ms.Quon.   Ms.Quon can feel it and you can see the air  that is blowing her hair.  The scientist blew air at the whole class.  She told us to close our eyes because it had dust.

Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day we made peace pictures. We showed  the whole entire school.  Then we sang some songs.  The songs were called "Peace must be our goal", "One dream", "Poppies bloom forever" and "I reach my hand.  Then some body called division 14 and two kids in our class said ''good morning''.  They said their names.  They said "we hope you enjoy the clip''.  Then we showed the clip.   The audience thought the clip was splendid.

The bears

Coola and Grinder

A few days ago I went to Grouse Mountain to see the bears. And their names are Coola and Grinder. Our class went into their old den and Ms Quon took a picture of us sleeping in the den. I really liked the trip.

The Wolves

The   names   of    the     wolves  are  Beta  and  Omega  and  Alpha.  Some  wolves  were   white  and some  were  dark.  The    wolves live  at  Grouse  Mountain.  "Ms. Quon, in my nation I am  a wolf."  The wolf"s  fur are fluffy.   The  wolves howled at the moon.  Ms. Quon , I liked   the  field   trip.  It  was  fun!

The View

Yesterday we went to Grouse Mountain.  First  Christina gave us the tickets to go on the skyride.  My favourite one was that.  When we went up I was so scared because we were going to be super high.

We could see the city from  there. When we were up there we felt a little bump. And there were cables hanging from the top. When we went  down our ears hurt. Then  Christina gave  us the tichets to keep forever for  a souvenir.   I wish I can go again.



more  about  the  skyride...


Yesterday we went to Grouse Mountain.  I got a ticket and went up the mountain.  I saw trees, and rocks.  I saw a yellow tree.  The tree was small.  I saw clouds in the sky.  We saw wolves- Beta, Omega, and Alpha.  The wolves were in the forest.  The city was small because we were soo high.  The trees were yellow and green.  I felt happy on the skyride.  When I went up the people in the skyride were chatting very loud.  I sat down but everybody else was standing up.  It was fast.  It was moving and bumping.  I was brave.  I LOVED the trip.

The Bears

.

Our class went to Grouse Mountain to learn about Grizzly Bears,
and the Bear's names are Grinder and Coola.  Coola is bigger than Grinder and Coola has darker fur than Grinder.  That is how you
can tell them apart.  They are about to hibernate in their den.  They sleep and sleep until spring.  The Bears find branches to make their bed.  The Bears don't get hurt because their fur is so thick.  They have a camera inside the den to show what they are doing when they are sleeping.  After I was exhausted, and I could hardly walk.  But I still liked it.




Here is another story about the bears...

Yesterday we went  to  Grouse Mountain to see the bears. Christina  gave all the kids tickets  Coola is bigger than Grinder. And

Grinder always is bossy. Coola is darker than Grinder.  And there was food on the ground.  Coola ate some apples.  I could tell who

is was Coola because Coola had a wet bottom but Grinder is not.

I wish that Grinder was bigger.  I feel sad because they are not

going free.

                                                   

             Yesterday we went to GrouseMountain to learn about grizzly bears.  My favorite part is the skyride thingy. It goes up if you stand in it.  I saw the city and one wolf on the ground. The trees were coverd with snow. We bumped when we landed.  We went to the bear den to see Coola the bear and Grinder the bear.  Coola went out of the bear den first and then Grinder went out.  Coola pooed a little bit on the rock.  Grinder was looking for a apple.  Also, Coola was eating a bitten up carrot.  Coola and Grinder went to the other side of the den. Coola was going to us.  He wanted to play with us. I was amazed with Coola.  Coola was light brown Grinder was black. I did not see the bears before. I liked the field trip.

Grouse Mountain skyride

Yesterday our class went to Grouse Mountain. When  we got there we went inside the skyride. Then when we got in there it was getting higher and higher and I could see Vancouver.  I  was  scared of somthing that is very high.  And I saw so many buildings.   I saw trees and so little snow. And I saw one Mountain.  It seemed very very cold over there and icy over there. I wonder if there was any one there?  It was cold and windy. I felt happy because it was my  first time at Grouse Mountain.


and another story...

At 8:30am we left school to go to Grouse Mountain. When we were there we got tickets to go on the skyride.  Then when we went to the skyride the doors closed and we started going up. Everything looked normal at the very beginning.  But when we got higher it looked like I could pick up buildings and crush them. When we were even higher I saw humungous trees and mountains. Vancouver looked like a tiny toy to me because we were so high.  It seemed that I was one hundred thousand feet high. I thought I could touch a giant tree.  It was fantastic.

Yesterday we  went to a magic show.  When we were at the magic show some of our friends got money but it was fake . Then when  we got back to school we went trick-or-treating .  We got a lot of  candy too.   Then we had Halloween choosing.  We did lots of stuff like drawing  Halloween things and  dancing with Ms.Quon and decorate cookies too,. and bingo with Ms.Judge.  Everyone had a great  time .
