Olde School Projects

By reporter Grace Yin

So! At a school, Div. 3 will do a project alone or with a partner. The Social Studies projects will be based upon olde posters, and, oh yes, scrolls, about the culture of Rome and, say, Atlantis. The content of these ‘poster projects’ are written by the students themselves, and their skill level will be represented by the paragraphs(there are eight of them) they will write. Some of the countries they have chosen for a country opposing Canada for the culture ‘showdown’ are shown here: Germany, Korea, Vietnam, and strangely, The Vatican City. One who hears about the Vatican City for a cultural project might think at first, wow, religion is culture so it must be very easy! Well, actually, it isn’t easy. As the paper guidelines say, you have to choose four cultural subjects(religion, food, theatre/arts, values, customs, festivals/holidays, and such as) to write and fuss over. The ones easiest are religion, customs, values, and festival/holidays. In truth, they all fit in religion. That is what one student believes is the theme for her project. Religion||

CAMP!!

Posted on October 10, 2011 by grace

It’s been a while since I came back from camp. We went to Timberline Ranch, which was okay. I didn’t have the most fun. We did ride horses, though. My horse was called Raine. I also did archery. And yes I did get the target. We got cabins, and our cabin was called spiders web. The other girls cabin was lions den. The boys got the girly animals such as rabbits and ponies.
The part I absolutely hated about camp was when my head felt like it was packed with cotton, and I couldn’t function properly, even when I just woke up. When I got home, I was all better. So my experience wasn’t the best.

Cupid Struck Wrong 3

Three

No dreams of him yet. Man, I’ll never see him again. Darron, the brother who thinks I am fragile, and his friend, Terrian, were spying on me. He’s a guy with yellow hair, except his hair is always dirty, so I can’t tell. He was staring at me, so I figured he thought I looked cool, standing on the bench in the middle of no where. Actually, I’m not even really that pretty. I have this really thick black hair up to my shoulders, and my parents won’t let me get highlights, even though all my friends have them. And the rest of me is regular. And Darron doesn’t look Chinese, as Ray and I do; he has nutty hair, and his eyes aren’t black brown. Maybe amber. Hey, I hope he’s adopted. Then his looks will make sense. Well, goodnight.

École Sperling (First Day)

Posted on September 6, 2011 by grace

So today was the first day(one hour) and, needless to say, I was lost. I’m currently in a grade 6,7 class, and there is only 4 grade sixes so far, and some people look very familiar. Also, there is a Gym teacher. And one of our teachers is married to a teacher from our old school. Yep. That’s all I know. I write more when I know more. By the way, my story about Cupid is going well. Most posts following are second drafts. So, yeah. Will write more!!

Two

So maybe this dream wasn’t good, without him, but now I think, do I really like him? Anyways, I have two older brothers, the oldest(Ray) being seventeen. He treats me like a, well, an annoying friend. And my other brother(Darron)is fifteen and treats me like a, I don’t know, a frozen delicate flower, don’t ask me why. I’m eleven, not one or eighty thousand. This dream I was skating, and then I wake up. Then I get sucked back to the dream, me trapped in a jar, and slowly fading away, then it’s 10 am. I wake up for real. Curious dream. More later!!

One

I’ve always been a odd one, and introducing myself is not a good strong point. I am Celine Miranda, and I can’t pronounce my last name. I’m Chinese, but I live in Canada. Like I’ve said, I’m weird. Being weird includes wishing for awesome complicated half-nightmare dreams. And, I’ve had three, yep, three dreams that include this make-believe guy, who, I fall in love with. He likes me too, for your information. In dream one, two years ago, a famous singer(not real)my age then, which was nine, and it also had gross parts including a ingrown body part, which is quite sick. Dream two was two days ago, and was this 16 year old guy who I loved(we travel back in time-odd, eh?), and he wore glasses. Kind of like my cousin, except my cousin lives in Italy. And. . . Dream Three!! Last night. It was this guy who looked like a singer I liked, but also like a make believe guy. And when I went to the grocery shop(like, five seconds ago), I saw two cloud Cupids. Seriously. And I realized, I love a guy in my dream. Gonna go dream now!

How to: Write a Story MY Style

Posted on August 29, 2011 by grace

You know how teachers and other sources say you have to know what to write, then you have an editor, make drafts and stuff. I find that really annoying. Well, actually just a bit, so I just do the drafts part. Like, Ding!, I got an idea. Then I write it once. And copy on the computer. And write it again for school. Each copy gets more details and gets longer and more ideas. So if I write it 100 times, I’ll get an novel out of the 200 word story. And a cramp. Of course, like stories on here, it’s just one draft. Here. And like I said, I only copy it for school. That’s how I write. You?

CRYSTAL CAVE LAND. . .HOW NICE

Posted on August 22, 2011 by grace

So last night I talked to Gloria and I told her a story with the main character being a 1850 style-ish 12 year old year old girl named Marilla. And she takes Gloria to a secret room full of diamonds like in a Swarvoski shop. . .
The ground was paved with crystals, and a thin layer of glass. Gloria thought this was cool, but Marilla had more secrets. They flew to a magical planet Marilla owned, full of see through crystal. They fell into the water. It splashed with a tinkling sound, and though it was liquid, when it splashed out, it turned into solid crystals in a water droplet form. To be continued

School is COMING

Posted on August 17, 2011 by grace

I’m changing schools, I’m very excited to see what I’ll come up with, this is a new experience. Yikes.
Gloria’s coming too, and she feels just about the same as me. Gulp. So I’m gonna try to get more inspiration. Ding! I just did.
Sorry for dumb jokes, but I’m nervous and I have nothing to write up here. So..

Sometimes we make Gabriel sit and watch music videos with us. And write our blogs. Like now. And it’s pretty fun. Except Gabriel’s farts smell. . . pretty bad. We’re gonna put him down later as babies can’t watch bright screens for long. He’s down. Okay, updates on Baby Gabey. . . .
1. He can actually lie on his stomach, and turn in a circle.
2. He can laugh and babble more.
3. He likes and knows me!!:P
4. He can sit(with support)
5. He’s waaay cuter!!!
