Christalite Methodist Home part 2

Today we went to the Christalite Methodist Home again. But, this time instead of doing santa hats,we did heart decorating and necklace/bracelet making.

I think I had a much better time this time than last time. I say this because I felt more engaged in what we were doing with the old folks. The woman I was working with asked me to do stuff until she got the hang of it. Her friend that she had brought along could speak both english and chinese. She helped me understand what my lady wanted and I was very happy that she was willing to do that.

I got two valentines from the two lady's! I didn't really help her friend but she still gave me her valentine that she made. My lady gave me her valentine too! She took a fancy to the sparkly sequence and let me tell that if you shined it in the sun and into someone's eyes you could very well blind them!

I think this was a bunch of fun and I hope we can go back soon! I know I had the best time ever because that hour seemed like 10 minutes!

P.E. Fitness Assessment

For my P.E. Fitness Assessment I was not happy with some of my scores and I really need to work on some.

For my pushups I did not reach the healthy range. I think I need to start doing pushups once or twice a week for 10 minutes. I am really sad that I did not do as many as I should have done and I really want to reach the healthy range. I hope I can do better by our second fitness assessment!


For my Pacer test I was almost at the healthy range with a score of 16 paces. I am running pretty much every day so I hope that my running will improve! I mostly run for 1hr and 30 min or more almost every day so I think that will improve my pacer score.

For my curl-ups I was not in the healthy range. Along with doing pushups for 10 minutes,I will do curl-ups for 10 minutes also.

For my sit and reach I was in the healthy range with a score of 25. I am very proud of myself.

Flight and why I would choose it

I would choose to have the ability to be able to fly! I would choose to fly because if you are about to get into a fight or something like that you could just fly away. You could also leave school early if you just grabbed your bag and floated away secretly. What if you needed an extra boost to catch something? Just fly up and catch it. Long line? Just float over it secretly. Legs get tired when walking? Just fly for the time being.

I would probably just use this power to help me make some shots in basketball. Also I would use it if my legs got tired when I was walking. I really like the feeling of flying and being up high when I am at the amusement park. So this power would be good for me! 

One thing that would be very bad would be if you were just flying up really high, just flying around, and then suddenly your powers stop working!! But at the last moment before impact they switch back on and you fall as gracefully as a piece of wood.

It would also be really cool to be invisible AND be flying! Just image how many lines you could skip!

What power would you guys choose and why?

Tibetan Bowls

This was very cool to get the chance to do this.

I'm in the very back. I moved to the dark corner.

The first time Bill played the bowls, I saw bright lights. This was really weird because I was in the darkest corner of the room. It also felt like someone was pushing my shoulders,like they were trying to move me. I felt tingling all over my body. My shoulder blades felt like someone was pushing then together.

The second time he played I felt like someone was pushing my pressure point. Then it felt like they moved down to my wrist. Like the first time, I got tingles. But, this time I got it on my leg. It felt like someone was blowing on it. When my eyes were closed I saw all different colors. At one time a bunch of yellow lights came down from what felt like my forehead. They looked like they were stroking my face and grabbing it. The colors were all muddled together but at different times they became their own colors. The colors had turn a dark green then a light green. They got streaked with blue. It felt like the tingles went into me. The blowing on my leg got really hard at one point. It was like someone had put a leaf blower on my leg and refused to take it off. I felt like I could just sit up and leave my body and everything else behind. At one point, I felt like I was being pulled up by my wrists,like someone was trying to get me up and play with them. My wrists still feel a bit tingley.

When Bill had told us to sit up and he was showing us all of the different things to do with the bowls, my back got a little case of the tingles. When he told us to close our eyes and sit up while he was riveting (I think he said that was what it was called) my head felt like it was being pushed down and the colors came back. The yellow lights seemed angry (As angry Yellow lights can be) this time and my back felt like someone was slowing massaging my back and then like they were stabbing it.

This was really weird to do but I liked it. It never really hurt but when I felt like someone was stabbing my back it was weird. I want to do this again. I liked it.

Images of Singapore: Our field trip

Today our class went to the Images Of Singapore Museum. This was a very fun one,but not as fun as the water park!

We got to see a lot of things,like wax figures and props. The wax figures were very lifelike. My group all got scared of the wax figures at one time or another. Me,Amber,Alexa and Jade all posed as wax figures. I even scared someone who thought I was a wax figure selling fruit.

At the end of our wonderful field trip, we got to look through the gift and eat lunch. The gift shop had a bunch of cool things in it like rubber band shooting guns and funky glasses. I didn't buy anything.

Me,Alexa,Amber,Jade,Julia,Anushka,Noemi and Beatrice all played Duck Duck Goose. I stuck stickers on a bunch of people including myself. I stuck a HUGE dragon "tattoo" on my cheek. Then we went on the bus. Everyone was very tired from the field trip. I'm really surprised that I didn't fall asleep!

That concludes my adventure! I hope everyone had a really fun time because I know I did.

How to choose the right dog

I learned that there are a lot of different dog breeds. Dogs were first tamed over 15,000 years ago! I had never knew that. The internet helped me a lot as well as books did (Maybe even better!). I got to learn about my favorite animal EVER so that made this writing the best one yet.We had to do tons of research for this awesome informal piece so I hope you enjoy mine!

Science Reflection

I have learned many things in only three topics and here are some things that I have learned!

When I was working with everyone in my group, I learned that you have to wait for other and be patient with people. You can't rush anyone or you may mess them up and ruin the WHOLE experiment. It is the same when people rush you you could ruin the whole thing. You can't play the blame game when someone messes up something. You have to help them clean up and redo it because it could have been your fault they messed up.

My thinking has been pushed a lot through out the 3 lessons. I have had to think up new ideas so my group could do something fun. It was sorta the same when we were making Atom Models. That was a tough one for some people! Although it was tough sometimes it was also SO MUCH FUN!

My favorite experiment was when we got to mix all of the reacts in a bag and it blew up with air. I liked it because we all got to do something and it was one of the best experiments! I bet a lot of people agree with me!
