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.

"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.
