I just got back from a needle up my arm.
I am siting writing this at a coffee shop.
While I am drinking a mango smoothie.
It did not hurt that much. Actually it tickled more than it hurt.
I am missing a little bit of school right now while drinking my mango smoothie.
Here is a picture of me just before the needle.
This post is about whales.
Last night I was reading and I thought to write a post about whales.
Did you know that Whales are in danger? People used to hunt whales and then eat them.
My favourite type of whales are Killer whales.
My 4th favourite animal is the killer whale. Dogs, cats and tigers are my top three.
There are two names for the killer whale: killer whale and orca.
When we were in Maui in 2013, we went whale watching and then we saw lots of humpback whales. After whale watching we got shave ice.
The pictures below are from Maui.
I am really excited about grade 4 at SMUS.
There is a lot more stuff to do. For example, strings, squash and lots of other interesting things for me to learn.
I have supplies to bring now because when you are in grade k, 1, 2, 3 you get supplies from the teacher but now I have my own stuff.
My older sister is at a party at a beach near where we live and it just started to rain really hard, I’m sure everybody is huddling under a tent and saying, “Why did it have to be raining today”.
Our trip is over, we are on our way home but we are on a airplane right now.
This has been a really fun trip.
I don’t know what to start with?
Last night I had a tough time falling asleep because our trip was over and it has felt so short.
I don’t know why?
My top 5 things on our trip
5. Going to all the memorials, my favourite one was in New York the twin towers
4. NHL hockey hall of fame in Toronto I got to touch the Stanley Cup and got my photo taken with the Stanley Cup
3. Seeing the statue of liberty
2. Going in all the car, subway, buildings, bikes, boats, hotels and houses
1. Seeing friends and family, for example Mia, Nicole, Roy grandparents Adam, Zoe, Sue, Chris, Michelle, Tyler and other friends. This has been such an awesome trip I will never forget this trip I have the best parents ever thank Mom and Dad! From Cole
I got a very big sun burn yesterday at this beach and board walk called Coney Island.
I went pretty deep into the water.
The water was very cold but I got used to it.
When Claire and my mom went to go get lunch they were waiting in line and Claire felt something tickle her and then she found a $20 bill I am very jealous.
Also I saw the Statue of Liberty yesterday.
About two weeks ago my parents told Cate, Claire and I that we are going to New York, Montreal, Toronto and Sarnia.
My sister Cate she was dyeing to go to Paris then we went to Paris then she was dyeing to go to New York and now we are going there.
On June 12 school ended for us. Claire, Cate and I are so happy school is over and we can finally enjoy summer.
I love summer.
I am going into grade 4. Cate is going into grade 2. Claire is going into grade 6. Claire is now at the middle school.
I can’t wait until I find out my new teacher because there are two grade 4 teachers but we only get one teacher. They split the class into half.
1. I really liked my teacher, Mr. Hawes because he was very funny.
2. I liked Sports Day and Growing plants.
3. In math we learned multiplication and division.
4. Handwriting was hard but cool.
At home I am growing watermelon and peas.
We started growing our plants at school and then my teacher let the whole class take home their 2 plants.
I am also growing plants outside that I did on my own and there are peas that have little flowers.
I can’t wait until my plants give me a watermelon and lots of peas.
On my pea plant, the leaves are sort of yellowish in colour.
On my watermelon plant, it has 7 leaves and on one leaf there is a rip.
Tomorrow my mom has a big race.
I hope she wins.
There are a lot of people doing the race.
I am going to make a big sign that says GO MOM GO!!!
I will be clapping a lot.
At school we have been working on our writing skills. One day, we thought we should write a poem. I know my poem by heart. It is called Tiny Warm House.
Tiny Warm House, By Cole Pontefract
Silent ocean slowly moving
A girl
Waiting
Treasures still under the cold water
She sleeps in a tiny warm house.
Here is a photo of my poem.
