Princess & Smiley

The peregrine pair has laid 4 eggs in a nest located on the roof of the Radisson hotel in downtown Winnipeg.

We just saw two cute, adorable, fluffy white chicks! The mother just scooped them under her to keep them warm and to care for the last two eggs.

This week at school I finished my festival brochure. Mine was the stampede. It has lots of color and info. I learned that we had a flood of the century in 1997. I also passed a math fact level. I passed my divided by 7. Now I’m on my 8s. We also started a new math unit.  We started geometry. Before it was fractions. I finished my booklet TODAY!!!!!!!WE wrote about Spencer West. He was here last Friday we watched a video where he climbed mount kilo manjaro. He said that was the only time that he wanted legs. He wanted legs only to carry his friends. By Martine

This week at school we had our last game of soccer basketball. For the people in our class on our team is… me, Ethan, Jamie, Martine and Richclyde. We won the score was 6 to 1. I scored a basketball goal which is worth 5 points and Dakota got the soccer goal. Oh wait… you probably don’t know what it is well first a person has to do rock, paper, scissors  then whoever wins gets the ball. And we start off with basketball the person with the ball can only take 3 steps then they have to pass the ball to someone but if the person doesn’t catch the ball and it hits the floor it turns into soccer! And you can have a goalie for soccer only if you want. And to turn it back to basketball someone has to score or shoot the ball and miss the net and hit the back wall. Or if someone kicks the ball and you catch it turns back into basketball. So you probably get the idea so yeah.

We Create Change Tour - Free the Children

Today we went to an assembly called We Create Change Tour - Free the Children. This tour is traveling across Canada to talk to Canadian Youth about how they can make a change. A musical group called Neverest performed some songs for us. They taught us their new song called Starlight which will be on the radio soon! Spencer West is a motivational speaker and author who is also on the tour. He told us about some of the amazing things in his life like walking from Edmonton to Calgary. He also climbed a mountain in Africa called Mount Kilimanjaro, this biggest mountain in Africa. He also told us about the story of how his had a disease when he was a baby and how the doctors removed his legs. He now gets around by wheelchair or by walking on his hands! How unbelieveable! Our friend Avery Skog started a huge fundraiser called Brick by Brick which raised more than $12000 to build a school in Kenya. Avery is awesome and we all supported him. Way to go Morris School!
