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.🎕

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.
