Camp Manitou

 At Camp Manitou we were split up into groups. It was fun there because we did lot's of different activities and we got to hang out with our friends. The first activity we did was making bannock on a stick. The we had lunch because we arrived there around 11:00. After lunch our group went to drama it was kind of boring for me. After drama we went to a thing called Alien Invasion. It's an activity were you have to protect an alien egg. There's three roles the Gatherer,the Guider,and the Builder. After that we went to a parchute activity. We had to go inside because it rained. After the rain stopped we went to our last activity Archery. It was really fun and I got a bullseye. We never got to do Mountain biking. Then we went back around 5:30.

Term 3 Reflection

E.L.A:In this term we haven't really been doing a lot of E.L.A. We began reading The Ask and The Answer it's the sequel to The Knife ore Never Letting Go. At the start of the book Todd is separated from Viola and he's getting tortured by Mayor Prentiss. Viola wakes up in a healing centre. And Todd is slowly joining the army. We just finished the book and now were doing a final project. There's still one more book after The Ask and The Answer it's called Monsters of Men. We're still doing Reading Buddies my partner's name is Anne Marie. We're doing bullying stories with our buddies. We started doing bullying PSA's with the iPads. I'm with Ram Gregory, and Joaquin. Our PSA got deleted so now we have to start over. We did Limericks, and Concrete Poems. A Limerick poem is when you make to make a poem that has 3 beats the first 3 lines and 2 beats on 2 lines. And the last line is a 3 beat line. A concrete poem is a shape of something and putting words in it. And we did a Haiku poem mine was about a rock. We did Youth Peace Building Program it was fun we did lot's of fun games and we got to learn about different culture's and religion. And at the end we got pizza and a certificate.

Math:We did a lot of Math this term we did Pyagrus's theorem. We did lot's of tests in Math. And we just started doing Algebra. Pyagrus's theorem has a lot to do with Pi. Algebra is pretty complicated. We didn't do any Mental Math this term. We also did something where you have to find the Volume and the Surface Area of an object. We did a test on the Voume and Surface Area of a cylinder. At Math I didn't do well this term. I didn't really get fractions.

"Mean Girls"

Mean Girls Reflection

 

 

The Mean Girls play was really good. The main character was Caty she moved from africa and was home schooled all her life. Caty met the "plastics." 

Youth Peace Building Project

We have been doing a peace building project it's been really fun. We do really fun activities it's fun because everyone participates when we do a fun game. My favorite activity was the human knot game you had to gather in a circle and put your hands out so both of your hands are crossed with another person. The goal of this game is to get everyone in the circle to untangle everyone's hand. The people who have been working with us are funny people and fun to be around. I have learned that you could learn and have fun at the same time.

Novel Study

Knife of Never Letting Go

I liked this book because there's lots of action and at the end there's a twist. My favorite character was Manchee it was so sad when he died by Aaron. My favorite part in the story was when Todd and Manchee had to rescue Viola from Aaron. The villain in this book was Mayor Prentiss and Davy Prentiss, Jr. The character I hated most in this book was Aaron because he killed Manchee and he would never die, but at the end he finally died to Viola.
