Halloween fun

Halloween is coming around the corner....only six days!

Today, my brother, my dad and my two cool friends, Peter and Una and I, went to a Halloween safety village. There were lots of small houses and each of them were made by sponsors. One of the sponsors, were my dad's company which made me feel really cool for some reason!

We got to trick or treat early at each of the "houses", we even got a peek inside some of them. We got all kinds of delectable candy such as gum, Star burst, Rockets and so on. I hope I don't get a cavity!

Also, our ticket to entering were non-perishable food items. This is for a good cause. So, the non-perishable food items were a good way for us to have fun and for some kids around the world to be happy.

We were also encouraged to wear our Halloween costumes which made it even more of an enjoyment. There were lots of diverse costumes. My friends and I had special costumes each their own way. I was a boy with too much facial hair.

I wore droopy clothes and I succeeded to look like a teen boy.

Una, wore a very odd costume. She was Harry Potter. She had cool makeup, interesting clothes, had dorky glasses and a black used to be snow White's wig that she transformed, with the help of her scissors, a Harry Potter type of wig. I actually fell for it!

My brother, was a clown. His personality came naturally....(i mean it in a good way!) He wore a long, polka-dotted dress with a bright red wig and a sponge red nose. He was very funny and jokes seemed to explode out of him!

Peter, was the very muscular, one of a kind, Iron Man. At first I could not realize who that was, since I am not a fan of Star wars, but he explained it to me, and it sounds cool I guess, for a boy I mean. The village was very realistic with street lights and stores like Tim Horton's, McDonald's, and Home Depot.

It was a very fun experience and I was glad I could go with my friends and my dad this year. I hope I get the chance to go again next year. It was really something to look forward to.

P.S. Did I mention there was a really neat Haunted House? Two in fact. We got to touch a witch brain, eyes, nails and witnessed their skulls. EW. It was cool though, since the nails were shells, the eyes were grapes, and the brain was spaghetti. Not too creepy but very gross. It still shivers me......I didn't expect it that way! There were people everywhere. They popped out to scare us. In all, I enjoyed it a LOT.

Cross-country rezultate

Jel se secate kako sam prvi put trcala na onoj prvoj trci za Cross-Country na oktobar 6?

E pa tu smo imali od prilike 30 dece iz nase skole koji su se trkali da idu na sledecu trku. Zato sto nas je imalo toliko, imali smo dovoljno sanca da nam skola prodje na sledecu trku. A da neko dete prodje na sledecu trku, mora da dobije 40 mesto ili manje. A na svakoj trci, imalo nas je od prilike 130 dece.

Jedna trka je razred+decak ili devojcica. Znaci recimo 5 razred decake, 3 razred devojcice, 3 razred decake i tako dalje.

Od svih tih devojcica, ja sam dobila 35 mesto i isla na sledecu trku. Ja sam bila srecna jer od 6 devojcica iz 6 razreda, ja sam bila jedina koja je isla na sledecu trku. Ali od svih tih 30 dece iz nase skole samo su 10 isli na sledecu trku.

6 iz cetvrtog razreda, (4 decaka i 2 devojcice). 1 iz petog razreda, (on je bio decak). I 3 iz sestog razreda, (2 decaka i jedna devojcica..JA!). Pa smo mi vezbali jos i isli smo na tu drugu trku oktobar 16, pre 2 dana.

Na tu trku, morao si da dobijes 20 mesto ili manje da ides na sledecu trku, zadnju trku. Ta sledeca trka je "City Finals." Ja sam sad bila na finale samo, ne finale iz grada. ali opet tako, imalo nas je od prilike 130. Ja sam ovaj put dosla 34 mesto. Nisam isla na sledecu trku, ali sam ipak malo srecna, jer se ja strasno umorim.

Ja nisam jedina koja nije isla na sledeci krug, jer iz tih zadnjih 10 iz skole, samo su dvoje isli na sledecu trku. 2 decaka iz cetvrtog razreda. To pravi smisla jer smo imali najvise iz cetvrtog razreda.

Pa je tako ispala MOJA aventura u Cross-Country.

P.S. Evo je nesto interesantno sto sam videla koje bi mogli da volite da znate.

Ja sam gledala kako su zavrsavali decaci iz 4 razreda i imao je jedan decak koj je dobio prvo mesto prosli put i koj zivi blizu nas, inace, on i jedan drugi decak su imali jos 20 koraka sve do kraja i oni su sprintovali i bili su jedan pored drugog.

I kad su imali recimo jos 3 koraka do kraja onaj koj zivi blizu mene i koj je dobio prvo mesto prosli put je pao jer ga je ovaj drugi sapleo. Ja znam da je to namerno jer sam videla da on ispruzi njegovu nogu tacno ispred tog decaka.

Pa je on dobio drugo mesto, ali josuvek ide na finale od grada.

Ali je on posle toga plakao i plakao i plakao, i bas mi je bilo zao. Ja bi isto plakala tako, i tesko ce biti da se zaboravi na to. Ali je to bilo nesto interesantno.

A znas sta jos nije bilo dobro o tom decaku, cela njegova skola je dobro poznata kod nas dece jer uvek SVIH gura i saplete, sve namerno, sigurna sam. Ta skola se zove John Wallness, i sva dece ga zove John Wannabee. Sto znaci da oni uvek ocu sve da dobiju oni. I da oni to dobiju, oni ne igraju fer.

Neznaju ideju pravog sporta!

Coming home from Kearney

I am back from Kearney!!!

Here is the info on my adventure! We traveled with a coach bus and my partner was Ivana. We played cards and watched a movie. The Pacifier. Those 3.5 hours went by pretty fast, so next thing you know, were at the edge of Algonquin park and almost at Kearney.

As we arrived, we unpacked our luggage and we found out where is who staying. The french immersion was staying in the lodge and the English kids were staying in the bunkhouse and the homestead. The difference is that in the bunkhouse there was 1 big room and everybody stays in that room on the bunk beds. In the homestead, there is no difference, it is just that in 1 the girls stay and in the other the boys stay. Then in the lodge, where I am staying, there are 4 smaller rooms. 2 for the girls and 2 for the boys. I was bunking in the same room as Michelle, Joelle, Emily, Nikole, Esther, Corinna, and Ivana. It was so much fun.

First we learned about where is what room, then we looked at the camp's map and learned about the legend, about orienting the map and about the scale. Then we were put into groups of 3 and we had to find signs with something like a stapler. Except that every stapler has a different pattern. We had a certain amount of time to try to find 15 signs and each punch was worth a specific amount of points. The reason it was part of the unit of studying the map was because all the answers were on the map. We had to use the map to find them. My group found all 15.

After that we had dinner, since we arrived at 12 pm. The food there was delicious, and it was all made from scratch. We enjoyed it very much. After that, we had free time and we practised a fire drill for emergencies. It may seem weird that it was supper so quickly, but we learned lots of stuff and talked a lot about the environment. It was fun at free time, and we all talked and played in the lodge, near our rooms.

After that, we learned a lot about owls and Algonquin Park. Then we went Owl Prowling. (A fancy word for Owl calling.) We learned how to call owls and we called them. We had a response and we even saw 1 in the trees! That was so much fun. Especially since it was raining the whole day.

Then we had a snack and juice, we played games and went to bed. My room was so excited, we unfortunately fell asleep at 2 am and had to wake up at 6 am. But we were not tired during the day.

The next day, we had a wonderful breakfast and then we learned about the life cycle. We learned that at the top, there was the sun, then the air, then water, and then soil. To remember, we say SAWS. Then we played a game, where some people were carnivores, some omnivores and some big or small herbivores. We could touch some people and that counts like we ate them. So they had to give us a token of theirs. 1 token was equal to 1 life, and we had to find water sources to survive. (Another kind of stapler.) By doing this, we learned about how animals have to live, and the hard parts of life for them.

After, we had a lunch outside and free time outside, then we went for a 4 hour hike, and were divided into groups. We had an adventure and learned about trees, about fungus, and about the history of the places we were in. We climbed and slipped and talked and jumped, and we saw snakes and frogs, too. After that, we had free time again, and we all played and had fun.

Then we went howling for wolves and we learned a lot about how wolves eat, how they survive and so on. We then went howling for wolves, but we didn't have a response because wolves have good ears, and we were all talking.

So then, we went for a walk in the pitch black night, and we had an activity, so that we had to hold on to a rope and find our way to the next teacher. This was tricky since we could not see the rope and it went for a wild turn and we all lost the rope for a minute or two.

Then we had a snack and juice and we went to bed.

That night it was better and we fell asleep at 12:30 am. Then when we woke up, we packed our luggage and we played games that the Inuit people used to play. (Inuit people are Eskimos, but we don't call them that since Eskimos mean eaters of raw meat!) That was fun, then we lied down one by one on the blanket, and the others pulled the blanket and then you went flying in the airs! It was great.

After that, we had free time, then we packed up and had to leave. On our way home, the DVD didn't work, so me, Ivana, Jeremy and Ryan played games like truth or dare, and would you rather.

We arrived 30 minutes early so we had to phone our parents to pick us up.

Also, at Kearney, we had duty groups. 1,2,3, and 4. I was in duty group 3 and they told us which group was doing set up for meals and clean up, and that is how we were still responsible and still had chores!

It was a nice trip and I'd go again any time.

Moram sve vise i vise da trcim

Sve vam objasnjava naslov! Ima puno trcanja sto se desava ovih dana.

Ja imam puno da trcim, jer svakog ponedeljka i srede, imam fizicko i moram da trcim da bi se razgibala za taj sport koji vezbamo tad. To me umori, ali to nije nista uporedjeno sa sta jos ja radim.

Mi smo danas isli metroom do centra. Pa smo danas ujuto setali i trcili za program "Run for the Cure." Tu je bilo barem 800 ljudi koji su setali i trcili da bismo zaradili pare za rak grudi. To je bilo zanimljivo. Tu su bili puno ljudi i dobili smo neke majce od tog programa. Bili su tu kamere sa vestima, bili su tu cika i teta sa radia, i mi ih slusamo svako jutro pre skole. Fenomenalni su!!! Bilo je popularno i podpisali smo se na neki ogromni papir koji kaze: WE LOVE YOU. Jako nam je lepo poceo dan.

Posle toga, smo isli Ivan, tata i ja pravo na basket. Tu smo bili aktivni i lepo nam je bilo da Nikolom, Monikom i Stefanom. (Oni su drugari sa basketa.)

A jos sam se pridruzila nekim klubu, zove se Cross Country. I sutra cemo trcati u pravoj trci 2 kilometra. Ja mislim da sam dovoljno dobra i nemogu da cekam. To ce da bude tokom skole, pa necemo da budemo u skoli, ali cemo da predstavljati nasu skolu na trci.

Ja cu da budem u akciji i sutra posle skole, jer imam ja opet basket. Veoma sam zauzeta sa sportom!
