Gamer's Spot

Hi!
Our class has done a lot of amazing things this year. In this post I will try to remember what we have done as a class throughout the year!

Camp Hornby
Well, the first really fun thing we did was go to a camp on Hornby Island. It wasn’t only our class that went though, every grade six class got to go. We did a lot of really fun things like kayaking, high ropes, games in the forest and the climbing tower. My favorite thing that we did at Hornby was probably the kayaking because I think it is really fun. My friend Hayden fell out of his kayak when his group did it, and he had to swim back to the shore (and that day the water was really cold!)!

I was in a tent group with Hayden, Kris and Julian, and on the first night Kris and Hayden both fell asleep in the first 10 minutes or so! Me and Julian didn’t fall asleep that fast. Oh no. I’m guessing that it was somewhere between another 2-3 hours before me and Julian fell asleep. When we weren’t asleep, me and Julian talked about a video game. I can’t remember what it was though.

On the second night, I had a bit too much to eat and I wasn’t feeling very well (I think I had too much salad at dinner). After dinner, I really had to go to the bathroom (which smelled horrible). I had to wait a while before I got to use it, and when I did get to use it someone kicked the door, so when I tried to open it, The hinges were stuck somehow so the door wouldn’t swing open. I told the other people waiting to go and get Mr. Green to open it. When I got out, it was time for the campfire, so I went to where it was and I sat beside my friends. We had hot chocolate and some chips for a snack. I threw one of my doritos into the fire pit, and then it caught on fire. It didn’t look like it burned when it was done, but instead it looked like it had melted (it was very strange). After we had finished our snack, we sang some campfire songs and then it was time to go to our tents. I had to go to the bathroom again, so when I got back to the tent, Kris, Julian and Hayden were fooling around with the giant flashlight I brought. They were turning it on and off and whenever it would go off, Julian would change how he was standing. It made me very dizzy. Once they were done, I didn’t feel good at all, so I stepped outside and I threw up in one of the bushes!

We also did a lot of other really fun things this year, like:

• Spring Musical
• Winter Musical
• Christmas Gift Exchange
• Our Class Election
• Blogging
• Howlin’ Halloween Happening

Through out blogging, I have made a lot of friends and met a lot of other bloggers. It’s great to see how many people are blogging and the things that they have in common with others. I have learned quite a bit about what other people’s cultures are and learned what they like to do. We have a lot of friends from Tasmania which is great because it is awesome to learn what they do and what Tasmania is like. If I ever went to Tasmania, I would probably observe some of the animals and the plants that are there and write a post about it when I get back.

It’s fun to go to a new blog because it makes you remember when you started blogging and the help that you may have needed. Mrs. Wyatt is the teacher in Tasmania who is just so great because she helps her students learn about blogging. In Tasmania they have started a new school year just a little while ago, so she has a new class of “Newby” bloggers. Their blogs are really fun to look at because they are just learning how to use blogs and work out some of the issues that they may have. They will of course need to do some learning though because they will have to learn how to add links, how to add images to your posts and how to add videos or other types of media to your posts.

A lot of other people have also learned what I like to do which is of course play video games and review them. Reviewing a video game is really fun because you always are reviewing something new to you. My newest video game post is really good because I put a lot of work into it and it ended up being my longest post. Reviewing video games is a passion for me just like other people in my class like to write posts about soccer. The people who write about soccer are also really great bloggers because they put a lot of effort into their posts and make sure that they include the info that is needed the most.
