Hello readers!

It’s finally that time of year when we all get to dress up as monsters and go trick or treating! Every year I have gone out, but I’m not sure if I am this year because I think I’m getting to old for it. I think this year I’m just going to help my dad with handing out candy. But if I did go, I would be… A raccoon! Just kidding. I would go as a vampire. I think that vampires are my favorite monster(other than a werewolf). Besides, I bet that a werewolf costume would get too hot even if it was cold out(which it usually is where I live).

Other than the dressing up part, I also like to get the candy! All of the delicious chocolates and gummy things to eat! My favorite kind of chocolate bar to get would probably be coffee crisp. I think that they taste really good. If I didn’t get any of those(probably impossible not to get any, but I might not), my other favorite is a kit kat bar. They are also really good.

Where I live, most of the biggest candy bars are given out at a suburb called “Crown Isle”. They pretty much always give out giant candy bars, like the ones you would buy at tills. But still, it’s nice to try to get to as many houses as you can so you have a lot of candy(not too much though, because then you won’t be able to eat it all). Last year I had to throw out most of my candy because I didn’t eat enough of it so it went bad.

What is your favorite holiday? Is yours Halloween? Leave a comment and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can!

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

This Halloween our class had a kinda party thing. I thought it was really fun. We had games, food, drawing and access to some fun Halloween games. We went through stations and each one was really cool except for the Halloween drawing station. I think that the drawing station should be removed from the activity list because it was really boring and I ended up just doodling all over the paper instead of actually drawing Halloween stuff.

My favorite station was probably The Secret Door. It was a board game that our teacher brought in. I had a lot of fun going to all of the different stations. The food was pretty good too and we also had a Halloween parade, so for a while everyone was in their costumes walking around the entire school in a line. It was a really fun day.

Have you ever seen some one dressed as a vampire clown for Halloween? Well I have. My old friend from Alberta wanted to be a really strange thing for Halloween, so I told him to mix something with a vampire.

It looked really strange because it had vampire fangs, but it had a clown wig on. It had a cape and those really long clown shoes too. When my friend tried to walk in it, he stumbled and fell all the time because of the shoes.

When we went Trick or Treating, a teenager answered one of the doors and almost fell over laughing because of my friend’s costume. It was really funny. He gave my friend and I a lot of candy because he liked our costumes. At the next house, my friend fell in their bush. That was funny too. That was my best Halloween ever.
