Making a Peruvian mask.

Today I made a Peruvian mask out of clay. We get to make clay evey year and in kindergarten we had clay for kids on my excact Birthday and in grade 1 we had it on Orla's Birthday. The masks when we paint it the only coulours we can use are gold silver and bronze. The masks are made for  special people and to make sure that it's not a fake mask they have to have big dangaly earings on. At the end we could decorate it and I made his mouth a bit open and for some reoson I made his big dangaly earing chocolatte chip earings. I also put on tattoos and made him wear glasses. 2 boys put mustaches on there masks.

the three snow bears

Today I got a book from the library called The Three Snow Bears and it's by Jann Bret. All of Jann brets books are Scandinania which means there made from a country like Sweden or Norway. Jan Brettd book all are in the winter. The illastrations are really neat because on each side of the page they show what happened in the last scene and what's happening in the next scene. Jann Bretts books are normal sized books so no book coppy out of a page.

Finding out what riser I'm on

Today I found out what riser I'm on. I always get the bottom riser except for the one time in grade 1 where we had class pictures. Lot's of my friends got the bottom row too because my friends are pretty small. The funny thing is that I got the excact space from grade 2. The songs I'll be singing are S.O.S and that's the song where I say Corners there are no corners. Were on an ice flow near the north pole you idioctic machine, then we sing ring the bells of Christmas and last but not least our finale song Jingle In My Heart.

Getting my advance calendar

Yesterday I got my advents calendar. It's a sponge bob calendar and Adam's is a hockey one. Our calendar is 32 days long and since theres only 28 days till Christmas Adam and I already have eaten 4 chocolates. It took so long to get our calendar that we had to search 3 whole stores to get it. The chocolates I've had have squired and Mr. Krabs twice and Garry sponge bob's pet snail.

Making my stand (for stores)

Yesterday I started making my stand for stores and today I finished it. The cardboard box part was easy because Adam had saved his from grade 3. Adam's box was a box covered in tissue paper the colour of the Irish flag but I decided to redecorate it with rainbow construction paper. Like you probably know from the stores blog comments I'm selling brownies. I've decided to make the brownies 85 c. I also got the stand name from that and the stand name is 85 brownie.

Finding out my costume

Today I found out what my costume is. I think it's going to be really hot because it's winter clothing and the tempature of the gym is unbelievible. BTW (by the way) you know when I said the girls who didn't make it would be toys well the toy costume was too hard to get so now there cookies. I also found out, I'm in the afternoon ( 1:00) preformance. I have to have my costume ready by Dec 8 but I already have it ready.  I'd say my costume is 3rd easiest because the cookies and drummers have there costume picked out already at the school.

the tiger rising

Yesterday I got The Tiger Rising from the library. I bet you can guess who it's by. All of that author's books have a medal and animal. The first blog I wrote by this author has the I forgot medal and the animal is a dog, the second book I wrote about with the medal is the John Newberry Medal and the animals are rats and mice and last but not least the tiger rising has the nationl book award finalist award and the animal is a Tiger. The Rising Tiger is 116 pages long and this is the page I'm writing on this blog.

I got clean some rooms she said. You aint going to forget what I told you about legs, are you. No ma"am  said Rob. What"d I tell you then? she said towering over him. Wille May was tall, the tallest person Rob had ever seen. To let the saddness rise. Rob said he repeted the words as if they were part of a poem. He gave them a certian rythm, the same way Wille may had when she said them. That's right said Wille May You got to let the saddnes rise on up. She left the room in swirl of licorice and smoke; after she was gone Rob wished that he had told her about the tiger. He felt a sudden desperate needed to tell somebody who was capable of beliveing in tigers

gymnastics in gym

 At the start of this month we started gymnastics. We  don't do competitive because some kids may not have joined gymnastics and everyone has to participate in gym no matter what subject it is. We have 7 stations and they are the boxses, stage and we get to jump off the stage, we have a statiion where theres  3 tunnles, theres a vault, beam, a summersaultting station and a station where theres a lot of stuff that are too hard to describe. The stage is my favourrite because I like jumping off high stuff. On the boxses I like jumping to one box to another and the boxses get skinner and it's harder to jump to. At the tunnle station 2 of the tunnles are excactly the same and there blue. The other one is fat and short and it's blue too. The vault is brown and it's not too high up. The summersauting station has a blue thing you can roll up and down with. The station that's too hard to describe is a thing where theres like these roll things you can roll back and fourth with.

There's also jailers who live with the rat's and mig father is with the rats. Mig being with uncle was a law so she had to get move with the people in the kingdom as a servant. Here is one page and I'm reading this page.
Here here said the cook yours duties aint done. How's that shouted Mig. you must clear the tray! shouted cook. She reached over and took hold of the napkin gave it a good shake and desperaux tumbled out of the napkin landed right directely plop in a mesuring cup full of oil. Acccck said cook a mouse in my kitchen, in my cooking oil in my measuring cup. You mig kill him directly! Mig bent her head down and looked  at the mouse slowly sinking to the bottom of the glass cup. poor little meecey she said and she stuck her hand into the oil and pulled him out by his tail. Desperaux gasping and coughing and blinking at the  bright light could have wept with joy of his rescue but had no time to cry. Kill him shouted the cook. Gor said mig. all right holding desperaux by the tail. she went to get a kitchen knife. but the mouse tail covered as it in oil was slick and diffucult to hold on to and mig in reaching for the knife lossened her grip and desperaux fell to the floor!

competive gymnastics

Yesterday in Gymnastics I made it to purple and it's the starting of competitive gymnastics. The competive is where you get to do flips and there's like this place past the foam where there's a bunch of bars I'm aloud to go on now. The level I'm in right now is bronze and I"ve been working for that ribbon for more than a year! I haven't got my reportcard yet but my teacher told my mom I mastered everything.

Practice together

Today we were suppose to use the gym but someone was already using the gym so we used the music room and both cast 1 and 2 preformed together. First cast 1 went and they were pretty good so were us. We were the audiance and we were facing  south and when we got to preform I thought we were suppose to face south but we had to face north. My favourite line in the play is corners? there are no corners! were going to the north pole you idiotic machine and I think everyone agrees in my class.

Making it to highscore

Yesterday I made it to the high scores in a game called mouse trap. Mouse trap is a game where you have to use these pillars to stop the mouse from getting out. Mouse trap is the number 1 game on it's website. I forgot what the name of the website is so I just type in mouse trap. I don't think I'm still on the high scores but my best place was 24th. For some reason there is also a game called cat trap and the cat you have to trap looks like my cat tonnie. I always say aw toonie how come you always get out.

rehersal

On Thursday I had my first rehearsal. The funny thing was I got my teacher and Lauren got her last years teacher. We just sat on the floor with our scripts in our hands because it was our first practice. My teacher said I should practice scene 1 because thats my first scene I'm in. Scene 1 is where Jhonny and Suzie surprise me with the news that were going to the north pole

getting picked for the christamas play

Yesterday I got picked for the christamas play. I got the roll of Nellie in cast 2 and lauren got the roll of reindeer #3 in cast 1 . For some reason most of my friends got rolls of reindeers. The christamas play is about three children ( Johnnie Susie and Nellie) travelling to the north pole. But when they are half whey there they get lost because Santa had lost his jingle. I have 8 lines to practice witch actually is not bad for the amount of lines most people had. Not everyone who signed up for the christamas play got a part but if they didn't get one the boys would be drumber boys and if the girls didn't make it they would be toys.

Halloween

This year for halloween I was going to be a cat but I forgot my costume at school so I was a vampire witch. My favourite candy I got was a jumbo aero. For some reason whenever I eat aero bars I feel like i'm eating a bunch of bubbles. I also got a jumbo liquorice and kit kat. Everyone at school was giving out loot bags while I was giving out barn brack. In one of the loot bags that I got there were vampire teeth so that helped me with my costume.
