A Horse and His Boy

     A Horse and His Boy

By Mikayla

The breath taking novel, A Horse and His Boy by C.S Lewis, is the thrilling story of a boy Shasta and a horse stolen from a Tarkan.  Arivis, a princess, took her father’s horse and tried to escape from Calormen to Narnia. On the way she met Shasta and they were almost captured in the city but became separated.  When they finally found each other, they had to cross the desert and there they met a lion. They created an army and defeated Archenland. They then found out that Shasta was actually a prince.

     Shasta was a humble, young slave boy to a fisherman named Arsheesh.   One night he courageously decided to run away with a horse which he nicknamed Bree.  Shasta was scared and worried of getting caught but he was also determined. Sadly, he couldn't take the donkey who had been his friend for the longest time. He was meek about riding and he fell a lot and he was young, so the fisherman took advantage of him but he remained honest.  The way Shasta believed reminds me of Romans 5:1-2, that says, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

       Arivis was a spunky teenage princess who was brave enough to try and escape to Narnia.  After she met Shasta, she tried to act tough and was harsh but she was actually good spirited.  Although she didn’t want to show it, she was timid and scared. She was worried that her father would be mad that she ran away and stole his horse.  Cruelly, she bullied Shasta and made him feel sad. Quinn became worried about her. Arivis finally made it to Narnia and made everyone else feel brave because of her rejoicing.

    

     Shasta is a brave and honest fisherman's son. Arivis is a proud, strong willed princess. 

 The best part of the book was how Shasta met Arivis and they didn't get along but they 

became friends in the end. I think the Bible verse that goes with this brave story is John

3:16.  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever 

believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  This is an amazing story that will take

your breath away. Read, and enjoy!  

This is Sam

This is Sam and she is deformed because her chrysalis didn't fully form. She cannot fly very well and  it is hard for her. We are trying to keep her alive by putting her in a netting and giving her artificial nectar.  I hope that she survives and lays eggs so we can keep more butterflies.

Seniors Home Karaoke

On Saturday we went to the seniors home and the lady was doing karaoke.  We got to join in.  I got to go up front and sing.  It was so much fun!

Science Center

We went to the science center and made pop bottle rockets.  It was so cool and fun.  Our rocket didn't go very high but it was still fun to watch.  Others went higher.  One Dad got really soaked.  We used citric acid and baking soda.  The air compressing against the walls on the inside of the bottle made it fly.  It was from air pressure from the chemical reaction.

You take an empty soda/water bottle, put it upside down and add cardboard wings.  Go outside and fill your bottle to the first line with citric acid and wrap baking soda in toilet paper .  Take the baking soda, pop it in the bottle, quickly put in the cork, shake it and watch it fly!

Internet Safety

10 year old Lily Wilson loved to use a chat room. She is very careful with what she says and does.  She does not post any personal information such as her birth date, name,or other personal  information.  She uses a user name (Water Girl) and stays safe but one day some one named Rocket Guy started chatting with her.  He sent her a cute picture of himself. He's 12 and after awhile of chatting he wanted to meet.  She ran to ask her mom and her mom said to call the police.  It turned out that it was a 43 year old man who had planned to kidnap her.
 A few years later some one said some not so nice things about her and she wanted to tell him that he was dumb but instead she told her mom and then she blocked him.  Cyberbullying is a hurtful thing. It can cause permanent damage physically and emotionally. It hurts. Don't do it and stay safe.
