Kamloops

We went to the new movie called, Sing.  It was great.  It was about a koala who loved a theater so when he was older his Dad bought it for him but then his mother and father died.  He was left to keep it going.  He did a singing contest but the flyers accidentally wrote, $100,000 instead of $100.  All the good singers entered.  Some of them got to stay in and some got x'd out.  There was an elephant girl who was great at singing but the koala wouldn't let her sing.  The building fell down!  They rebuilt it. A rich woman named Nana came and thought the show was really good so she bought the theater and made it good again.  The koala was happy and so was everyone else.

We stayed at a really cool hotel.  We stayed in a different room then we normally stay in.  The girls stayed in a different room than the boys and that was fun.  In this picture we are hanging from the trolley.

This is me and Caileigh in our separate room.  We had just arrived.  It's a long drive from where we live to Kamloops.  It's two hours!

This is us at The White Spot.  I'm scrunched up in the corner because I was sick.  When we got to the hotel, Mommy checked my fever and I was sick.

This is me at the science centre and as you can see, someone chopped off my head!  But where's the blood?  Oh My!

This is me touching a lizzard named Duke.  It was really scaly and weird feeling.  I only touched it for a couple of seconds and then I went to do something else.  My favourite thing at the science centre was a pokey thing where you could poke it and things come out the other side.  The part I hated was the dark room because I felt a shock from the plasma ball.  It hurt!

Time Machine

   In 2020 there were two robotic dogs named Hammy and Chloe.  In some ways they were a lot like humans.  Like us, they wore clothes.  Like us, they ate food.  They drove flying cars and hover boards.  One day they found weird glasses.
"Look!", said Chloe.
"What is it Chloe?" asked Hammy.
"Look!  Glasses!" shouted Chloe.
Hammy picked them up and put them on.
"Wow!", exclaimed Hammy.
"What?" said Chloe.
"I can see a time machine!" said Hammy.
"Let me see!"
Hammy gave her the glasses.  She put the on.  "Wow!  I see it too.  Let's go!"
They ran to the time machine.  They found the button that made it invisible and pressed it but all of a sudden they disappeared.  The wind started howling, then whoosh, they were gone!

"Where are we?" asked Chloe.
"I don't know?"
"Captain, there's a iceberg on the port side" said the sea mate.
"What?" asked Hammy.
"You're the captain, are you not?", said the sea mate.
"Well, yes, I guess so", said Hammy.
"Hammy, what were you thinking saying that you're the captain?!" said Chloe.
"Chloe, we're on the titanic!" exclaimed Hammy.
"What?!" said Chloe.  "Are you thinking we can change history?"
"Yes, Look!  There is the iceberg.  Let's steer clear." says Hammy.  "Aaaaaaand, there we go."
Chloe says, "Yes we did it!"

All of a sudden the dogs found themselves back home.  The glasses fell off Chloe's head and smashed.  They broke into a million pieces.  After that adventure, they never saw a time machine again.

Pekoe The Birthday Fish

Once upon a time it was my birthday.  On my birthday, I went out with my Mom.  Just me and my Mom.  Then my mom said, "This might sound a little weird, but do you want a fish?"  I said, " Yes I do want a fish!"  And so we did.  It was my very own birthday fish and I made it Pekoe because I asked people at a coffee shop what they thought it should be named and then I looked up and I saw the on the board they sold Orange Pekoe tea.  I thought it was a good name and that is how Pekoe came to be.  I have to feed Pekoe every day.  It's not a big job.
 What would you want as a pet?
What would you name it?
What colour would it be?

Tsunami

I did a report on Tsunamis.  It was fun.  I got to type everything out on the computer and find cool pictures to add to it.  I learned lot's of fascinating things about tsunamis.  I got my information from Pebble Go Next.  Here is a copy of my report.

Tsunami

Attack

By

Mikayla

     A tsunami is a series of massive waves.

A tsunami looks like a wall as it sweeps across the ocean. The swift wave zooms across the ocean and can powerfully cross it in twenty four hours. You need to be careful there could be more gigantic waves!

     There are warning centers all over the world. The swift moving teams watch for earthquakes because it could mean a tsunami is coming. An advisory lets the public know when a tsunami is coming and it can help save lives.

      There are ways to stay safe from a tsunami. There are physical signs that tell people when a tsunami is coming. The ground can start shaking and the tide starts going out fast. There can also be a loud rumbling and then the warning sirens start up. You need to get to a high place quickly so you can be safe.

     I think tsunamis are exciting because they are gigantic waves that go crashing into cites. I also think they are scary. I am glad we don’t live near the ocean!

Eulachon

Eulachon are small fish that you can use to make oil and candles.  The first nations people would catch the fish.  Then, they would put the fish in a big tank and clean them, but with not too much water because they would absorb it and become too wet to make oil.  Next, they open up a tank and the fish go in there.  They get stirred up and pressed and they could put into another tank where they get squeezed so tight that the oil leaks out of the and through a tiny filter and into a big can.  When the can is full, they use the oil on top of food.  It is good because it has lot's of nutrients.  They call it the salvation fish because before white man came, they used the oil to survive.  I take fish oils too but I never actually knew how they were made until now.
Now I will tell you how they made candles.  First they would jump on the fish and squish it up and then it would get out into a tank to filter it.  They would then melt the fish together and after that was done they would tie it to the roof in a smoke house to let it dry.  Then they stuck them on sticks and voila, light the fish.  The oil would also help to make fires in the winter.  This is why they had to catch so many fish in the fall.

Mentos and Diet Coke

We did an experiment with Mentos and Diet Coke.  First of all we put the Diet Coke bottle in the snow.  Next we dropped a package of Mentos in the Diet Coke.  Poof!  IT exploded.  We tried doing it again but didn't work because all the carbon dioxide had left the first time.  I thought it was interesting because it made ice coke in the snow.  It was a physical reaction because even though the Coke exploded, it was still the same drink.  The Mentos just made the Diet Coke explode so it is the catalyst.

fun

I made a cute picture using counting bears.

This is us at the Santa Clause Parade.  It was fun and we got candy.

This was my pretty hair for church.

This is me dressed for church.

This is a cute picture of a panda that I drew.

I was in the paper.

This is me on farmer night.  I was dressed as a pretty cowgirl instead.
