Festival du Voyageur

When we got to the Festival we went on the cart pulled by two horses. Their names were Sally and Jess. Then we went to see ice sculptures. My favorite ice sculpture was the roadside gas station from the Sweden team. After we went to a fire place and we did a game called canoe relay. Then we played a domino game. Then I was COLD! So we went in a shack for lunch. After that we went to the playground. There were pictures with face holes. Then we went sledding in the playground there was tubing and rope climbing up the hill. There were indents in a ice wall that looked like people. There was an angel, two people and a person sleeping.

At the Festival du voyageur we made a sac à feu craft. We went to the winter playground and there was a maze and sledding and tubes which is tire sledding. I felt happy and nervous when I went down the sled with my friend Carlos. He got to hold the front and I held the back of the sled and I'm sure he was nervous too. I also challenged Carlos to tug-a-war and he said sure and he said yes because he won.

Today we had so much fun at the Festival du Voyageur. We learned some French words. Then we
went on a horse cart ride. The names of the horses were Sally and Jess. We saw a lot of ice sculptures.
Some of the sculptures were a team of horses, cool sounds, a gas station, two hands, the arctic sun,
and the wind. We went in a cabin for lunch. It was heated by a fire. Then we went to the winter
playground were they had a snow maze, tubing, and tobogganing. Me and Leah went on a toboggan
together. After that we went to a show and we learned about the voyageurs clothing and learned
how to make little sac a feu. We had lots of fun. But it was very COLD.

The festival du Voyageur [The hours and cart]

At the festival the first thing we did was go to the horse and cart [ meeting ]. THEN we went on the ride. Some kids almost fell off the edge including me. Then we got to meet the horses. Their names were Sally and Jess. And after we met them we got to pet them for a bit. After meeting the horses we went to the games. Game 1 was called the canoe relay race. The rules were simple: run to the top of the mountain, do five jumping jacks, run back down and say Hé Ho!

We went to the Festival du Voyageur. We saw sculptures and got to ride on the cart that was pulled by horses. We also went to the playground. There was a maze, sledding, tubing, and face cutouts. You stand behind the painted picture and put your face in the hole. We had an activity. We played canoe relay races and dominoes. We went to see a show and learn about voyageur clothing. We build a little bag that made out of fabric and we had to stitch it. The french word for jacket is capot. A ceinture flèchée is a sash. Pantalons are pants. The sculptures were a gas station, team of horses, two hands, mother nature, wind and arctic suns.

The Sea
Floating                                                       Dice
Already relaxed                              A square with nothing but dots
Little fish                                        Yellow, green, red and especially white
So colourful they are                      Dots, numbers, tally marks
Oh no!                                             Dice can be anything
A shark!                                          Learning our math
I swim to shore                               Rolling dice
My day at sea is over

Doing tricks and racing
Starting vroom vroom vroom
The crowd goes wild

My Funny Bone

I've got funny in my bone
My elbow hits the wall
It feels weird and tingly
My arm gets jelly
My fingers freeze up
And it kind of tickles
My eyes tear up
Because it really hurts
Ouch!
