The hunger games

Yesterday I finished the hunger games. It's by Suzanne Collins. The hunger games is where 12 girls and 12 boys fight to death on live T.V. It's about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers for her 12 year old sister Primrose Everdeen. There are 13 districts and district 13 got burned down and the capitol who owns all the district makes the districts to pick one girl and one boy between the ages of 12 and 18. I don't know all the kids but I'll tell you the ones I know. Rue and Thresh from district 11. Peeta and Katniss from district 12. Clove and Cato from district 2. Last but not least Glimmer fro m district 1. Peeta actually had a crush on Katniss since they were 5 when Peeta's dad said' see that little girl over there I wanted to marry her mother but she ran in a coal mine when I told her that". Heres the page copy.

She recognizes the bird too, some wild thing called a grossling in her district. She says some times a flock will wander in her orchid and get a decent lunch that day. For a while our conversation stop as we fill our stomach. The grossing has delicious meat that's so fatty, the grease drips down your face when you bite into it. Oh says Rue with a sigh. I've never had a whole leg to myself before. I'll bet she hasn't. I'll bet meat hardly ever comes her way. Take the other I say. Really? she asks. Take whatever you want. Now that I've got a bows and arrows, I can get more. Plus I've got snares. I can show you how to set them," I say. Rue looks uncertainly at the leg. Oh take it I say putting the drumstick in her hands. It will only keep a few days anyway, and we've got the whole bird plus the rabbit. Once she's got hold of it, Her appetite wins out and she takes a huge mouthful. I'd have thought in district 11 have a bit more to eat then us. You know since you grow the food I say. Rue's eyes widen. Oh no were not allowed to eat the crops. They arrest you are something. They wip you and make everyone else watch says Rue. The mayors very strict about it. I can tell by her expression it's not that uncommon. A public whipping is very rare in district 12. Occasionally one occurs. Technically Gale and I could be wipped for daily poaching in the woods

Cats

On Thursday I went to a musical called cats. It had face painting because it was kids night. I bought some cat sunglasses. The play was about a poem about strange cat macavity and all the cats are scared of the macavity. The poem makes the cats dance around and sing songs about macavity. At the intermission I went up to the instruments and these two cats came up, one tiger and one white cat. I saw the tiger first and I asked if it was and actor and the cat stared at me with a straight face. I also got 3 autographs from the actors.

Buying at stores

Today I bought at stores. Lauren was selling sugar cookies, wallets with free stickers, fortune tellers and pencils. I bought all those things except the pencils because she was sold out when I came. I started off with 12:77 cents and I ended up with 12 cents. 3 people were selling pop corn and surprisingly some people didn't have popcorn. I bought a scarlet bracelet with 3 flowers around it too.

Book fair

Today I went to the book fair. The funny thing is I didn't buy any books but I did buy a Smurffette poster, an angry bird poster, two erasers and one of them were shaped like a camera and a how to make a ring book. Adam has the exact same angry bird poster as me. The smurffette poster at the bottom said smurfalicous. The how to make a ring shows 6 different ways. There were also video game erasers but I didn't buy it.

Skiing

Today I went skiing at rabbit hill. I went on a black diamond, a blue run and a green run. I had to rent my ski boots and skis. There were many ways to get up including T bar, Toe rope and chair lifts. My helmet was purple. My skis were red and white. My ski boots were black.

Hugo

Today I went to Hugo. It's about a kid named Hugo who's dad dyed and meets a kids named Isabelle who's mom and dad dyed when she was a baby. Eventually Isabelle gets adopted by her god father who is Hugo's uncle. Hugo's uncle is very strict because he made some of the first movies that people stopped watching.

Silver skate festival

Today I went to the silver skate festival.We went into a tipi and made an aboriginal pouch. I tried cinnamon and raison banack from the aboriginals. We looked at ice sculptures but most of them were still being made because today was the first day of the festival. We did 4 laps of skating and I had 4 cups of hot chocolate.

Valentines day

Tuesday was Valentines day. I had 3 3-D cards. The 3-d cards were a puppy  card, a star wars card and the penguins of madagascar card. I got tones of lolly pop. Sydney gave me an eraser and a matching note pad. My favourite card was the 3-D dog card.

Finishing science

Last Thursday I finished science. It was h and s which stands fir hearing and sound. My favourite experiment was silly salt. What we did was get some salt and put and elastic band around a coffee can, put music on close to the salt and watch it move. Our science duo tangs are green

Getting new glasses

Yesterday I got new glasses. I got new ones because my pink and purple pair broke. My glasses are the same ones as I wore to Ireland in blue. I like the blue ones more because they match my eye colour. I have to wear skinny pairs because there stronger.

Robe Quest

Today I went to Rope Quest in W.E.M which stands for west edmonton mall. We had a harness around our waists and we had to walk across a bunch of obstacles. My favourite one was when you had to go across tight rope. I slipped about 3 times and I really wanted to test out what happened if you really fell. There were 3 floors and my favourite one was the middle floor.

Having my math test

Today I had my math test. It was on adding two digit and three digit numbers. We had many things to do it on including estimating. What estimating is like when the number is 14 + 85 you round it up to the nearest ten. 85's closest ten is 90 and 14's closest ten is 10 so the estimate for 14 and 85 is 100. Do you know what mental math means? It means to add in your head I think I probaly got 1 wrong on my math test. Our math dou-tangs are white.

11 Birthdays

Yesterday I got a book called 11 birthdays from the library. It's NOT by Kate Dicimillo but it is by Wendy Mass. It's about a kid named Amanda who was born at the same time at the same hospital on the same day as a boy named Leo. On Amanda an Leo's second Birthday they shared rooms. Heres the page copy.


I nod, still not meeting her gaze. Let me get my shoes. A few minutes later I'm standing in her driveway waiting for her car out of the garage. I excepted her to drive something sensible and environmentally friendly. Instead she backs out in a bright orange jaguar. My mouth falls open. I cautiously get in the car, afraid to touch the wood or leather, which is what everything seems to be made of. It feels like I'm sitting on a cloud. She laughs when she sees my expression. I call this little beauty 'late life Chris". A car like this has got to have a name. I never had a midlife Chris because I was too happy, so thats where she gets her name. It was either this car or tattoo. A tattoo wow! Boy you never really know people. She laughs again. I was just kidding on the tattoo. I redden again. Oh right. Well it's a really nice car. She pats on the dashboard fondly. Thank you. We don't talk much on the 5 minute drive. I cough once or twice, but my heart isn't in it. Dr. Frileling sees me right away, and I try not to gag on the flat stick he lays on my tongue. He feels the side of my neck and cheeks my eyes and ears.
