This week went by really quick. But it was really good and fun!
On Monday, we had a science quiz for our second term of science which was: Simple Machines! On Sunday before I went to bed, my mom helped me with the review. She would ask me questions on the review and I would have to answer them. One example is name all the seven simple machines. Which actually since I was tired, I couldn't remember all of them which freaked me out! But later on Monday, when we did our test, I could remember NO problem! .......Except for the levers......
On Monday. We got to something very fun and exciting in gym class. We.....got.....a.....extra....BOUNUS GYM!!!!!! But the funny part is I forgot why we even got it! Me and Aria and a few other fellow classmates all played on our own Mat Cars on one side of the gym. One of the most funniest part of our extra gym class was when we all fighted over the rubber pigs! It was so funny! Me and Aria found a secret compartment in the double mats where we could hide our creatures. You exspect me to tell you where that was!?!?!? NO WAY!!!! Thats our plan and we are not going to give it away.
On Tuesday, We started our term 3 science topic......THE HUMAN BODY!!!!! I'm kind of excited for this term becasue its really facinating to learn about yourself and how you work. On Tuesday, we just started the intro, but there is yet more to come! On the intro, we had to jot down what we already know about the human body and questions we have. I had a lot of questions, thats for sure. I would really want to know how our stomach takes out the nutrients out of our food. That allways questioned me. On the back of the paper we had to put the different fancy science questions in the right area. There where about six boxes and one for breathing, the other for mucles, and so on. Later in the week, when we marked them, I got a lot wrong, but at least I tried my best!
On Tuesday, we had gym. I'm not sure if I really enjoyed this class, well some of it. I think this was the class that we used giant playing cards for our warm up. And we practiced for our basketball term. I do not like bastket ball, but sometimes I do. Its kind of funny how my likes and dislikes change so quickly. I think we actully did two warm ups, one for bastket ball, and the other for well, I don't know, just for the rest of the gym class. The basketball warm up, we had to like do a shuffle thing sideways across the gym. From the clostest line, then back, then the next one, and back, and then the next one after that, then back again! It was so annoying!!!!!
On Wednesday, we walked to Robert Andrews to watch their play called, Hair Spray. It took us about..... Uh, half an hour to walk there. It was super cold and my head was dizzy. My ears where feezing, AND IT WAS WINDY! But the cool thing was it that we walked on Earth Day :) ! Now onto the play....It was good, but al little confusing sometimes the speaker went crazy loud! On the way back to school, It was really warm out.
On Wednesday, we also had Library. I re-newed my Karate book, and, uh, and....oh yah! I remember now. I and Aria got A Dinopedia book. About a week ago, Abbey brought her Dinosaur book and she opened to a random page and that was the dinosaur you where for the day. I and Aria also kind of did that in the library with the dino book. It turned out that I was a little bird chicken thing and Aria was a T.Rex!
On Thursday, We, well I for one had Mad science in the morning. When my mom woke me up I could sure feel the difference of how tired I was. I could barely get out of bed. The first class was simple, and kind of weired. We learned about the digestive system which perfectly fits in with our term topic in science. Every class we get a take-home project. This one, well was weired. We basicly got a human stomach in a bag. At home, we are supposed to pur water and gross stuff in the bag, let it sit over night, and push it out the other end! I`m bad at explaining, but trust me, its worse then it sounds.
On Thursday, We had TWAS which I am doing at home right now at 5:03 pm. I am actually doing it on my tablet, isn't that weired? This was my second TWAS to put on the my blog. Hmmmmm, what else to say....Ok, figured something out to say. First of all, I can't wait to get working on more weekly TWASes on here. Second, uh, well....I forgot.
On Friday, I have no idea what I'm going to do. But I think Aria might come over....maybe. the reason I never know what I'm going to do the next day is because I am not one of those kind of people that plan ahead. I'm the kind that just goes where ever life takes them. That's how I enjoy it the best unless it's not my cup of tea to be taken where life tells me, but other wise, I just go with the flow. If Aria does come over, we will probably play outside in my HUGE backyard. then maybe later, we might play Minecraft or make a fort under my bunk bed. What ever happens, I will try to enjoy it. 😊 :)

This week flew by really fast. On Monday we did some earth day art. Ms Wasney got shaving cream in a cookie sheet and mixed it with paint. Then we dipped a piece of paper in and took them out again. Then we scraped the shaving cream off and it made an Earth! I really enjoyed this art and hope we could do something like it again.
Wednesday: we went to a mini assembly. it was a practice for when CTV news comes to Birds Hill! (probably should have said this sooner but SPOILER ALERT!) so thats pretty much it so i will type about something else now. We did a letter writing intro so we can write a letter to someone from another school called a PenPal.
Earlier this week, we received a framed certificate from UNICEF recognizing Bird's Hill School for being one of the top 3 schools in Manitoba for fundraising during the campaign in October, 2014. This is the 3rd year in a row that we've received this designation!
Today we participated in We Are
Silent! The grade fours and fives get to participate in this event. The reason
we are silent is because 31 million girls are not heard so we stay silent so
then they can speak for their rights. Today a lot of kid’s bought tags for 1
dollar to participate in this event! We hope that you are staying silent! Let children
that are not heard speak out!!! 
We also did a writing job to talk about
children`s rights. We had to answer some questions. Should children be granted
the same rights as an adult? We also had to share our thoughts about some facts
about what is happening to some children. Like here is one of them: “15% of the
world`s children are engaged in child labour.” That means children are forced
to work in factories! I hope you enjoyed reading this post!!!
Today on April the 16th our
Winnipeg Jets have their first playoff game in 19 years and our school has been
celebrating big time and when I mean big time I mean BIG. The reason its big
time is because CTV news came and videotaped all of our school yelling TRUE
NORTH in Oh Canada and we also sang the new playoff anthem. Our class practiced
that song so much and we had a few times the whole school practiced. 
After a hiatus of almost 3 months, we are back up on Kidblog! Yay!
We did a day of pink activity! It was where our class
picked slips some people got to be the bully, the bullied or the bystander. Then
we had to share our feelings with the others in our group. Then we had to do a
poem about what we would feel if we were an actual bully, bystander or bullied and most people shared
what they wrote in their poem, they either read it out loud themselves or made Ms.wasney
read it.
