1.In theses chapters Lizzie,David and Suzie react to Van Dykes house as it washed down the stream. Lizzie consoled Suzie after what Suzie saw what happened to Van Dykes house,and plus she was cold.They were all cold. After that David attempts to draw anybody to his flashlight, but it did not work because the light was to dim. While that happened something hit the house,which made Lizzie worried so she decided that they would have to leave to something else which were the

trees that have not snapped. Lizzie wondered if the river was going downstream which it was, but just for safety David threw his Sweater in the river to see which way. Lizzie offered to be first in the water just to be safe and David and Suzie came after. They found a tree for them to keep them out of the water. Suzie went first. Right after that the McBride house spun then crashed into trees

which none of them were on. The McBride house then washed down the river .

2. Lizzie is developing leadership, because of how shes leading David and Susie into safety. David is also developing Leadership, he is leading Suzie,and he's guiding her like what a big brother should do.

SPIRIT DAY 2009

This Saturday the St.Edmund's class of 2010 went to Spirit Dy 09 ,which was really,really ,really fun by the way, Anyway you get the point, we got to do many things like ice breakers, .There were even other schools there. And the acts were so good super duper good,and we got dinner...How awesome is that.

Once we first got there we were all headed to to blue gym were we found the spirit crew thingy.They were the people who would get us pumped up for Spirit day,and what we we did to get us pumped up was icebreakers, they were games again to get us pumped up, they were so fun. Some of the games we played were really weird and awkward but at the end they were full of excitement.

At Spirit day there was a lot of schools, A LOT, there was about 1200 grade sevens, 1200, that so many kids, but its a good thing that there was two days. One of the schools that we got along with was St.Pius, they were really nice. It almost felt like we were classmates and thats a good thing because most of them will be going to STA next year and they will eventually be our classmates.

Now the acts,the were SPECTACULAR ,they were so good first there was Matt Maher, who's a great Christian Rock artist, his songs are so awesome,my favorite is "Alive Again,"

The Other act was Gene and Brad, they were juggaling preachers. Their tricks looked very difficult, but to them it seemed like it was so easy..they dropped a few times but the crowd kept cheering,and clapping and maybe thats the reason why we were a bit late for dinner.

Dinner was my second favorite part about Spirit Day...you know why,because i like to eat we

had pasta mmmm..yum..so good,and it was a good thing that it was after Mass because mass ended

around 6:30 and thats when I eat my dinner at home.

Spirit day ended at 9 which sucked because i wanted it to keep going,and a wish we can do it a again!

Orange vs. Apple

A couple of days ago, my classmates and I were separated into two groups and had to be formed into two countries, Orange and Apple. Each country had to have a game, a language, and a have to have a word that you would say when you did not have anything else to say, and way more. And after that we would have to observe the similarities, and differences,and to learn how to play they're game,how to speak they're language which is the Apple culture.

The things that the countries Orange and Apple have in common is that they both have games that include cards, they both use only one word in each sentence, and they both had a words when they did not have anything to say which is ''WHOOP."

The Differences between the countries Orange and Apple are that Orange is more of a serious country and Apple is not, Apple is more of a physical country and Orange doesn't really liked to be touched. Another difference is that Orange is more serious than Apple,they also like to win, and that is the only time they are allowed to be happy. When Orange plays the game only men could confront women to play they're game, and women cannot play the game with other women, but men could play with other men.

What I have learned from that day,during that experience was that it was very hard to communicate back then because now we have translators, and that it is hard for other people from other cultures to adjust to new cultures for example homestay students they come here from their native lands and learn and observe our language, art, basically our culture, like what we did in the culture game.

When I first knew that we were gonna do a culture game I thought we were going to compete against each other, but really it was all about coming together, and learning how to learn each others culture.

Cleo's Light

Today is the day, the 21st of October 2009. I have finally found it..... The Candle that was lit

when The Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra has died. I found the candle 3 hours ago, and the reason I am typing about it now is because it is so hard to get a connection, but I am not really worried about that now.. It is all about the candle. Did you know that once Queen Cleopatra died, the

candle blew out, exciting isn't it. The candle is about 250,000 years old. It was a great gift from

Marc Anthony. When Queen Cleopatra was about to be mummified Marc Anthony quickly

took the candle and buried it 5,000 meters below the ground. But that was about 50,000 years

ago. Back to the present, when me and my fellow archeologists found it, it was in a golden box, and covered in mummy wrap. The mummy wrap, and the golden box is being is being tested.

Back then it was just a candle, and now it is an ancient artifact from the one and only,

Queen Cleopatra.

student council

The first day of grade seven was very loud..... but in a good way, I guess everybody is glad to see everyone. But the thing is there is no new students in the class. I think this year is gonna be more exciting since we are the leaders of the school.  Anyway about the student council, I am running for the office president and same with Martyna , Arash , and Marvin. And for secretary Jessica and Clarissa and Treasurer Isabel, Julimei, and Mark Tyler.  On Friday we will be giving our speech to everybody....eeeeeppppp...... And I am terrified of of public speaking and I am having second thoughts of running for president . But really want to win and my favorite part about being president is that you get to be dunked at the Back to School Barbeque =). I wanna see my sisters dunk me I don't think they have a chance. That is only one good thing about about being president...... And when I win I am going to treat everyone to Hawaii !!!!!! HaHa just kidding......
