Riley's Hockey Blog!

Today, we had a really cool event happen .  We talked to a scientist who is studying Weddell seals in the Antarctic through a web cast.  I was one of the three lucky kids to ask questions to Dr. Hawke. Dr. Hawke is part of Yes I can Science, the organization in charge of all this.  I messed up on my question but everything went well.  Our teacher is the coolest teacher ever!

What do you think it would be like to live in the Antarctic?  I think it would be like a frozen white dessert that iis very cold.

Pep-Co-Fres-Gin is a great mix of,

• Pepsi
• Coca-Cola
• Fresca
• Gingerale

First what you do is you mix the dark coloured pops togther and then the light coloured pops together then you mix it all together and add a ice cube.  I know this may sound like a strange and gross mix, but it tastes really good for a refreshing drink after school.  Thanks ,bye

We are doing something called  “Count Three Out” in class.  It is when you go to some one’s blog, then go to some one’s blog from theirs, then you go to one other blog from their’s and you leave a comment on their blog.  So far, I  vistited a guy’s blog named Matt.  Me and him both like hockey, cars and music.  The post that I left a comment on was a post about his dads 1994 corvette that he and his dad own.  I said that both our dads like corvettes which is pretty cool.  The second blog I visited was a blog by a guy named Chad and his blog was about archery and cars which I both like.  His dad owns a Plymouth which is a really nice car.  I said that I also liked cars like that as well and keep up the good work.   And the third blog I visited was a blog by a guy named Kyle and he likes collecting stuff like rocks and pins etc….  I also like collecting stuff as well so I left a comment telling him just that.  All these people I met are very good bloggers so please check them out. 

That was count three out, I hoped you liked it.  Bye

Fighting in the trenches

Barbed wire stretched endlessly

Gunshots ran forever in no-man’s-land

Soldiers slept in the funk holes

While the others monitored the enemy’s movements

The fighting continued for several days strait

They were attacked by snipers, artillery fire, and poisonous gas attacks

Bronchitis, pneumonia, and the flu spread quickly among soldiers in the trenches

The soldiers wrote to their family to keep them together no matter how far away they were from each other

If someone was wounded, they would wait till dark, then go out and get them and run back dodging bullets and mud holes which would suck you right under

This was real, this was fighting in the trenches

Today, we went to see the Olympic Torch  at Lewis Park.  I actually got to touch the torch.  It had the words “With Glowing Hearts” on it.  That is the motto for the Olympic Games.  I saw a bunch of people that I knew.  The sponsors are Coca Cola, and RBC.  This picture  is  our class touching the torch.  I would like to be a torch bearer one day because I would like to represent my country and my family by carrying the torch.

Hi everyone, this post is going to be about a book called The House Of  The Scorpion by Nancy Farmer.  This book takes place in the future in Mexico.  It is about a clone named Matt who was created to spare his master organs because his master is 130 years old and has lots of diseases.  His master spared him because he loved him so much.  From then on, Matt his many adventures throughout the book.  I recommend this book because it gives thrills and chills down your spine.  I like the way Farmer set up the book and how she used powerful words to describe stuff.

Ex.  “Finally he looked up and saw his kingdom in disarray.  Running around had destroyed the marks that told Matt what lay below.  Sighing, he worked his way through the sawdust.”

There is the book I recommend, I hope that you check it out and read it.

Happy DEAR Day and bye!

This is my dog, Tango.  He is a Golden Retriever cross Husky. He has a fluffy tail, markings down his back  and chocolate brown eyes and nose.  He loves to play fetch, wrestle,chew sticks, go on our trampoline and sleep a lot.  He gets so much love from our family (maybe a little bit too much) and other people.  The day we got him was one of the greatest days ever.  I rode home from school on my bike, and when I pulled up in my driveway there he was sleeping on the front yard.  I loved him so much when I saw him  because he reminded me of my old dog Angie so much that I started crying.  Then he came and gave me a lick on the nose and I felt better after that.

There you have it, now you know what my dog looks like.

Bye

Halloween is my favourite time of the year because we get to dress up in costumes and go walking around yelling “trick-or-treat” and getting candy.  My favorite part about Halloween is eating the candy.  How often do we get to do this?  Never!  This year, I’m going to be a hockey player dressed up in full gear.  What are you going to be?  What is your favourite part about Halloween?  Leave a comment to tell me.

Bye and Boo!
