🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
HELLO!!!!!! You can probably guess what this blog post is going to be about. (hint: it's about Christmas)
I am going to be telling you what presents I received because I got a lot of cool stuff! First I'm going to tell you what I got in my stocking.🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

                WHAT'S IN MY STOCKING????????? 

(I only got two things) 

1. I got a Minecraft game play on the PC 

2. I got sugar cookie mix inside of a jar decorated as a snowman

Just in case you don't know what Minecraft is, it is a game where you mine for gold, diamonds, coal, redstone, lapis and more, with which you craft items. Hence the name Minecraft. 😄😄😄 There are two ways to play Minecraft! You can play it in Creative mode where you cannot die and you can search for itams. You can also play Survival mode where you can die and have Monsters or Moobs chasing you. moobs is another name for Monsters.

Minecraft on the PC is really easy to play, to move forward all you need to do is press W, if you want to move backward just press S. See, even a kid can play it (and she does 🤣🤣🤣🤣).

I am going to tell you more about Minecraft in a future post!!! I will also talk about my Minecraft hero Stampylongnose  😺😺😺.

Now I think it's time that I tell you about the present that Santa got me!! I only got one present but I think it is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY PRESENT FROM SANTA🎁

A SKATEBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy when I saw the skateboard. I literally slammed my head on the floor (not really slam) and then I picked up the skateboard and I said "YAY".
My skateboard has different coloured wheels! Red, Blue, Yellow and green. The actual board is Black, my favorite colour. My skateboard is a shortboard, it also has a kicktail. A kicktail has a few purposes, one is that if you put your weight on it, it will stop. Another purpose is you can use it to do tricks. You can do tricks by leaning a little bit back on the kicktail and keep going!! Pretty cool, right?

In the summer I am planing to start riding my skateboard! My sister has ridden one before so I am thinking she can help me. I am planing to go to the park and just ride in the basketball court. I am really excited to ride my skateboard!!!!! I wonder if any of my friends have skateboards. If they do maybe we can ride together!👧👧   

I really wanted a Nintendo Switch, but I did not get it probably because it was too hard for Santa's elves to make.😓 

I hope you had a jolly Christmas too!!! If you don't celebrate Christmas then I hope you had a really relaxing winter break!

                   Tell me in the comments your favorite Christmas gift!!!!!! (HARD ONE, ISN'T IT)

BYE!!!! HAVE GREAT 2018!!!!!

Santa Claus is Coming To Town

I LOVE Christmas! Some of the things that I like about Christmas is being able to sleep in (I'm sure a lot of people can agree). I also like waking up on Christmas morning and seeing all of the presents. I know that Christmas is not about the presents, I just get really excited!😆😆😆 Christmas is all about spending time with your family and friends.

One more thing that I like about Christmas is the magic of SANTA CLAUS!!!!
Santa is awesome!!  One Christmas Eve I could swear that I heard Santa's sleigh bells.🔔🔔🔔



I love Christmas carols. My favorite one is Six White Boomers. Which Christmas carol is your favorite? Tell me in the comments, if you do not celebrate Christmas tell me your favorite part of the winter break.

My family is really in the Christmas spirit. We put up lights, decorations and we also put up two Christmas trees! One is downstairs in out dining room and one upstairs in our bonus room. Both of them have a lot of ornaments. We even put tiny presents on our reading area plate!

  Hope you have a merry Christmas and if you do not celebrate Christmas have a safe and warm winter break! BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am In Grade 4 and Now Grade 2!!

WHAT!! How can you be in grade 4 and 2? Let me tell you how.

I am in grade 4 at school and I also had my ballet grade 2 exam on December 6th. The exam was very exciting, but nerve racking at the same time. We had to perform exercises to get marks. We had to get a 50 or higher to pass. I don't know if I passed yet, but I will know in February and that is making me nervous. (WHAT IF I DIDN'T PASS!) I do think that I did pass because I did really well on all of the exercises.💃

We also had to do two dances. The names of the Dances were Dance A and Dance C. Dance A was about a person who had never seen snow before. (bet they don't live in Calgary 😆😆😆) Dance C is about a person who wants to plant a garden.

We had coloured bows in our hair and a number on our bodysuits. I was number 1 and I had a pink bow in my hair. The examiner's name was Mrs. Lackner. Our piano accompanist was Ms. Carla. Something funny that happened was that Ms. Carla's music binder fell off the piano while my friend was dancing!!!!😆

I can't wait to.......start grade 2 ballet. Classes start tomorrow! Most of my friends took the exam and are starting grade 2 with me. I won't see my other friends in class but we will meet in other classes. I am really looking forward to seeing the results of my exam. I hope I did well!


 P.S There's only 2 weeks and one day until Christmas! Today the chocolate in my advent calendar was a tiny Santa which was inside the belly of a snowman picture. BYE!!!!!!!!   

Herald The Seahorse

Last Week my dance studio put on a show. The show was The Little Mermaid. I was Herald the Seahorse. Herald is King Triton's helper. My costume was vary cute. It had a Seahorse head and a really bright neon dress. I was in scenes 2,9,13,18 and 19 the names of the scenes were:

2-Daughters of Triton

9-Under The Sea

13-On Land

18-Ariel Left Behind 

19-Interrupted Wedding 

I was in my Herald coutume for scenes 2,18 and 19.🐚 Under The Sea was the most tiring scene because we had to sing as well as dance. In scene 19 I had to pretend that King Triton was hurt, it was very hard because I could see him right there and he was okay. I am going to tell you what different animals I was during the show.

The animals I played in the different scenes 

2-Seahorse

9-Fish

13-Seagull 

18-Seahorse

19-Seahorse

I was the only one in a Seahorse costume because I was a character. My sister was also in the show. She was part of the singing group.

 My dad came to watch. He was right in the front row. During the show I could not see him.👀 My mom was backstage, helping the grades 1-3s and the 4-6 year olds. There were 2 shows, one from 2;00pm to 3:15pm and the second  from 4:00pm to 5:15pm. Both shows were an hour and 15 minutes long.

That is all I have to say for today! Hope you enjoyed the blog and tell me in the comments which song from The Little Mermaid is your favorite. Bye!!!!!!!

A Time To Remember

I really don't like wars but if WWI and WWII did not happen we might have not had our freedom. At school we are learning about the world wars. We read a book about a ten year old and how her dad went to war, but died. When our teacher was reading the last page I started to cry.

WWI started in 1914 and ended in 1918. WWII started in 1939 and ended in 1945.🎕 I am so thankful that I was not alive during the world wars because if I had been, I would have been scared seeing all of the death and destruction.

My favorite Remembrance Day poem is In Flanders Fields. I have memorized the whole poem.

In Flanders Fields

BY John McCrae

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row

That mark our place in the sky

Larks still bravely singing fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow

Loved and were loved and now we lie in Flanders Fields

Take up our quarrel with the foe

to you from failing hands we throw 
The torch be yours to hold it high. 
If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep though poppies grow in Flanders Fields.

Another poem I like is Poppy Poppy.

Poppy Poppy

Poppy poppy what do you say?

Wear me on Remembrance Day

Poppy poppy what do you tell?

Many soldiers in battle fell

Poppy poppy what should we know?

Peace on earth should grow,grow,grow

I like that poem because it is super cute and really catchy.

At dance when the clock said 11:11 we had a moment of silence. We have this moment of silence so we can thank the fallen soldiers that fought in battle. Also because the war ended on 11/11/1918 and the time was 11:11.

Do you know any Remembrance Day poems? Let me know. Bye!.

I Did It!!! (The Cat Edition)

I am so excited to tell you about my adventure at the Cat Cafe.🐱 I was at the Cat Cafe for my friend's 10th birthday party. Half of the cafe is a normal cafe and half of it is a room full of cats.  The Cat Cafe is a place where you can play with cats and adopt them.

I was afraid of cats because I was scared that they were going to scratch and bite me, but now I know that they are completely harmless. All of the cats are super cute and I loved them so much. I spent a whole 45 minutes with them! I petted 5 cats! But I still get a tiny bit startled if the cats jump down from a high place.

There are a lot of rules that you have to go over before you can play with the cats.

Cat Cafe Rules🐱

1. Always wash your hands before you enter the kitty room.

2. Do not pick up the cats

3. Do not take any pictures or videos of the cats

4.  Please return your visitor tags before you leave.

The Cat Cafe has a lot of rules, but I can only remember 4. I was really impressed with myself for going in there with the cats. After the 45 minutes were over we went for a walk around Kensington. We stopped at a restaurant and had Bubble Tea and fries. I had my Bubble Tea with no pearls. We had a choice of strawberry Bubble Tea or mango Bubble Tea. I chose mango Bubble Tea. It had something that tasted like the  gummies in Aloe juice. In case you don't know what Aloe juice is, it is just like juice and has a citrus taste and it helps prevent tummy problems. I love Aloe so much.💖

Anyway after we had our food we went to the Gummy Boutique 🍬 I got some Blue Raspberry popping candy for my sister and Grape popping candy for myself.👭 After everyone got their candy we walked to the blue sports building where we had met and waited for out parents to come get us.👪

I really hope you like this blog post! Stay tuned for my next blog about Remembrance Day.🎕

       

Read if You Dare!

Hey, this weeks blog is going to be about Halloween!🦇 Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I will be talking about a few things in this blog post. The things I am going to talk about are the Halloween parade, the Halloween dance, dress up week, pumpkin carving, putting up decorations and Trick or Treating.

The first thing I will be talking about is the Halloween parade. The parade was held at school. The first half of the day was a normal school morning. After lunch we changed into our Halloween costumes. I was dressed up as Katniss Everdeen from the book series The Hunger Games. Most of the students were dressed up. How the parade works is that the "K's" (Kindergarten) would walk through the classrooms and the other classes would follow them. Ex. The "K's" walk through room 1,room 1 would follow the "K's" to room 2 etc. Anyway when we were walking through the learning commons we got 1 packet of rocket candy.

When we got back from the parade we watched a mystery movie that also fit with the Halloween theme. The movie was Scooby-Doo and the Case of the Vampire!!!!!!!! While we were watching the movie, we filled out a Mystery Map Sheet in which you write the characters' names. One other thing, the people that did not get their schoolwork done had to do their work and couldn't watch the movie until they were finished.

Now I am going to tell you about the Halloween dance! It was absolutely spooktacular🤣🤣 The dance was a part of the after-school care. We had a little snack and then started dancing.,There was a DJ and the DJ had a sheet of paper. You wrote your name and the song you would like the DJ to play and then the DJ would play it. We also got candy! But we only got it if we were dancing. I was dancing so I got to pick one candy. When I got tired I played "Guess Who" with my friend. The candy I picked was a candy called SweeTarts. (the two words "share" the "T") The candy was really good. The dance was fun to attend and I look forward to it next year.

The next thing I am going to tell you about is the dress up week at my dance studio. Dress up week is really simple- you just come to dance in a costume and dance in it. The first day I was dressed as a pair of PJ's. This costume is really easy to make. All you do is get a pair of comfortable pajamas and wear them. On the second day I was the Spirit of Teamwork. I found this really easy to find, all I did was buy a sweatshirt and wore it with black leggings. The sweatshirt had this printed on it.

The coolest part about my Halloween was pumpkin carving!!!! This year was the first year I carved a pumpkin! I did a basic smiley face and my dad did all of the hard complicated faces. I think all of them turned out cute. The hardest part of pumpkin carving is clearing out the inside of the pumpkin🥄 After we had finished carving all of the pumpkins we put them outside, put a candle in them and went back inside to get decorations.

You probably guessed what I am talking about now....the decor. All we did was thread lights through the railings and stuck signs and pumpkin lanterns in the ground. We also hung up a pumpkin ghost on the top part of our porch.

The last thing I did was go Trick Or Treating! I went to a lot of houses and got a whole pillow case of candy!🖵 when I got home I watched some Netflix and went to bed. I hope you guys had an amazing Halloween and if you don't celebrate it then I hope you had an amazing day doing what you were doing.
