Guess what? In about 10 more days, I will be going to Camp Kearney.
It is a camp just at the edge of Algonquin Park, and every year the grade 6's go on a 3-day excursion to the camp. My class is going from October 8-10. It is beautiful, and there is food and everything. All the grade 6's before me said it was great, so I really look forward to it. We have a list of what to bring for those 2 nights and 3 days, since we'll be leaving pretty early in the morning and we'll be back at around 4 or 5. There will be lots of activities and since the only adults will be the 3 teachers and the camp staff. They hope we'll become more mature and independent after this experience.
One of the disadvantages are that I'd really like to still be with my family, and together. But then again, this is a part of growing up and it will be my first trip away from all my relatives and family for 3 days. Although I know that I'll be enjoying myself and time will pass by fast.
So those are the news about the field trip, and I hope it'll be something amazing, even though I'll be leaving everyone here. So yes, that is it and all for now. Thank you.
P.S. Sledeci blog je opet na srpskom!!

Go DWTS!
Obecala sam da cu sledeci post da napisem na srpskom, pa evo vam ga. Ja sad nemam nista da radim, pa sam resila da napisem blog.
Kao sto se nadam da znate (jer ga ja OBOZAVAM!!!!) pocela je sedma sezona "Dancing with the stars". Ona serija gde plesu profesionalci sa raznim slavnim licnostima. I fora je da stignu da finala, a da ih profesionalni igraci nauce sto vise razlicitih plesova. Ovaj televizijski program je absolutno fantastican i danas bi trebalo da pocne u 8 ili 9 sati. Znaci to je nesto interesantno.
Sledece, sutra idem kod onog specijalnog zubara koj mi proverava i stavlja proteze, i "headgear". (Onaj aparat koj stavljam u usta da mi se srede zubi). To ce biti zanivljivo jer pocinje u 9:15 ujutro. Koliko god da volim da idem u skolu, super je dosadno da citam one lose francuske knjige u ucionici.
Nesto drugo zasta ne mogu da cekam je sutra posle skole, Ivan ima "Slo-Pitch Try-Outs" i onda, ja idem u park blizu skole sa drugaricama dok Ivan vezba. To je jako interesantno jer ja uvek idem odmah na skolski autobus, pa nikada ne mogu nesto tako da se igram sa drugaricama iz skole.
Sad, ja znam da sam pricala o 3 drugacije stvari, ali sam morala da vam kazem. Vec znam sta da pisem za sledeci blog, pa budite sigurni da pogledate pre subote!!! Hvala...

Basketball, basketball and more basketball!
At last!
I am so thrilled that basketball has started once again, I was very inpatient to finally see all my friends and to move around on the court like I did before the summer. So I am in a group boys and girls from 1997-1999. Today we practiced altogether, at the same time, but that won't last. Would you like to know why? Well since there is a little less than 15 girls in that year, and a lot of boys, trust me.... The coaches and the parents decided that it was hard to practise and we could not really learn properly like that. (I don't really know why, but I totally agree with the solution.) So, the solution was that the boys get that period of time, but then the girls get the period after that. This worked out since, in the next period there was not too much people, it was easier to learn, there was a lot of space, and it was not as loud. So that is mainly what happened yesterday.
Also, 3 of my friends came yesterday, and 1 baby, so the 3 older ones, including me and my brother went to the park. It was so much fun! That occupied us, since we didn't really know what to do before that. We stayed for about an hour and a half. But that's enough for that.
The reason I wrote Basketball, basketball and more basketball as the title is because I became exhausted from yesterdays training, and today my dad is going to play some basketball with the adults. The club that we go to is called Troyka. And Troyka reserved 2 rooms. The adults can't fill up both rooms, so the 2nd room is for the kids. I see my friends there, so it's also a lot of fun.
And after that, I am going to my friend's birthday party, it's at bulldog fitness, which is a place where there are games, but it's very healthy because to play those games, you must exercise or be in motion, Ex: roll the pedals, move your arms and so on. Today will be a real workout!
Well, that is it for now. I'll write back something else some other day.
Thanks,
P.S. My dad is a coach at Troyka!

Najveći instrument koji je čovek napravio
ŠTA JE VELIKI SUDARAČ HADRONA?
U finalnoj fazi priprema, ljudi u CERN-u, trenutno hlade ovu mašinu do „radne“ temperatura akceleratora, a kad svi segmenti akceleratora budu ohlađeni, naučnici će obaviti više od 1400 testova kojim će proveriti da li svi delovi postrojenja rade kako je predviđeno.
CERN započeo eksperiment veka
Srpski naučnici deo svetskog tima
CERN: Mašina sudnjeg dana?
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research
- Veliki sudarač hadrona, LHC, najveći je instrument koji je čovek napravio.
- LHC se u blizini laboratorija CERN-a kod Ženeve, na švajcarsko-francuskoj granici, u tunelu dugom 27 kilometara, na dubini od 100 metara ispod tla.
- LHC se razvija i gradi 14 godina. Ideja o gradnji ove mašine javila se još sredinom osamdesetih godina, a njen razvoj je oslonjen na prethodne akceleratore koje je CERN pravio.
- CERN je 1994. godine odlučio da se budući LHC smesti u kanal prethodnog akceleratora LEP-a. Zatim su obavljene razne administrativne i tehničke pripreme za izgradnju.
- LEP je zatvoren 2000. godine i sva oprema je narednih godina podignuta na površinu i zamenjena novom.
- LHC će ubrzavati protone pomoću više od 1600 superprovodnih magneta.
- Superprovodni magneti moraju da se ohlade na jednu od najnižih temperatura u Univerzumu koja iznosi svega -271ºC, odnosno 1,9 Kelvina, što je niže od temperature u otvorenom svemiru.
- Na početku će LHC u svom kružnom kanalu ubrzavati snopove protona do energija od 5 TeV, ali će sa vremenom podići snagu do 7 TeV.
- U svakom sudaru dva snopa oslobađaće se energija od 14 TeV. Prethodni CERN-ov akcelerator, LEP, dostizao je na „vrhuncu karijere“ energije koje su oko 100 puta niže.
- U svakoj sekundi će se dogoditi 800 miliona sudara ubrzanih snopova. To je, po teoriji, dovoljno da se na 14 TeV oslobodi čitavo mnoštvo egzotičnih čestica.
U finalnoj fazi priprema, ljudi u CERN-u, trenutno hlade ovu mašinu do „radne“ temperatura akceleratora, a kad svi segmenti akceleratora budu ohlađeni, naučnici će obaviti više od 1400 testova kojim će proveriti da li svi delovi postrojenja rade kako je predviđeno.

The present and the past
Hi everyone!!!
Just thought I’d let you know about yesterday and today.
Let’s start with yesterday. Yesterday, I had a fever, and it really was not a good day, I had to shower with hot water, (but since I had a fever of about 40 degrees, it was just about FREEZING!!!) I slept, watched TV, and did nothing so spectacular. I also had a major headache. But I took Advil twice, (eeeew!!) And it was kind of better.
But there is always a good part about the day as well. My mom came back from San Francisco, and bought my brother and me a hat that said San Francisco and 2 really cool fridge magnets. I also wrote an essay a couple of days ago. The topic was: What problem are we most concerned about? There is a club in my school called Free the Children. We adopted a village in Kenya, and every year we raise money for a different way to help and support them. I believe that free the Children is a charity, but I am not so sure. Anyways, I’ll write more about Free the Children later. So we wrote an essay if we wanted to attend a conference October the 17th. I really wanted to go because there was going to be the actress who played Anne in the famous movie: Anne of Green Gables. There was also going to be the Founder of Free the Children, and a couple of Former Prime Ministers of Canada. So I was very lucky, because we only had 13 seats, and out of roughly 30 people, only 13 could go. I made it!!!! I really tried hard, and I’m so happy. But, that is way too much writing for history.
Here are the news from today. (The present.) I woke up feeling much better than I did yesterday, and I watched TV. For quite some time. Then I got dressed for the day. After that, I ate breakfast and watched even more TV. Then I decided that that was enough TV for the day, so I went to talk on the phone, and now I’m writing the blog.
So basically, I was surrounded by electronics this morning. But what can a girl do? It’s Saturday morning!
Well, that is it for now, so I’ll see you later. Bye!!!

Today's 411
Hello!
First of all, thank you all so much for all the comments.
And now, here are today's news. At school, we finally finished the Casi tests. I had office duty at lunch, but there wasn't as much excitement and tasks as I hoped. We also learned that we'll be doing science with the other grade 6's and it'll be every Tuesday and Thursday. Since the 2 classes are grades 5/6 split, we are all divided into 2 groups. Grade 5's and grade 6's. When the grade 5's are doing experiments, we'll be on the smart boards. When we're doing experiments. the grade 5's will be on the smart boards. We're also still working on our Wall of Fame projects for Meet the Teacher night.
In the morning, our teacher read us the book: "Sophie part en voyage." (It's in french.) We also had a great time at recess. Then we worked on our K W L charts for science. After that, it was lunch. Well, we pretty much did Casi all afternoon. So that's pretty much it.
I did walk home with Ivana. And it was so much fun!!! When we came home, we did our homework had some fun and watched T.V. Now I'm going off to read and sleep. I woke up at 6:10 this morning, and I am pretty tired.
Well, that's today's 411. Have fun!!!
Maja
P.S. K W L is what we know, what we wonder and what we learned.
411 is the buzz, the news or headlines.

The Report from Toronto
Hey, mom!
Check out our new blog! We're writing this to report to you that everything rocks here in Toronto. We are sooooooooooooo impatient for you to come back at last from San Francisco.
At school, everything is fabulous... but the Casi tests. Although, I do enjoy being the oldest in the school after almost 7 years! Our class is absolutely great and hilarious. Today, we changed the seating plan so that the boys stop playing, but then that means that all the boys have to be with a girl.... And I want to be with my friends. Our teacher says that school is a place for learning and we've got plenty of time to be with our friends at recess. I agree for everything but the not being able to chat from time to time with our friends. Anyways, everything else is nice, and Ivan seems to be enjoying the 4th grade. But that's enough news from school already!
Today we went to swimming, and I'm in the sixth lane now. We're also going to Ivana's house tomorrow after school. It's gonna be so much fun! The rest I'll tell you over the phone. Now last but not least... We really really hoped you liked this surprise!
We miss you so much. Bye for now!
Maja
P.S. For the other readers that don't know, our mom is on a business trip in San Francisco, California!!!
