Swim lessons

So, today we (Adam and I) did our  first swim lesson of 2016! We had a different teacher that made us do different and new ways of doing swimming strokes, but I adapted to her pretty quick. My lazy and weird mom read her book, uh.. I mean our beautiful, amazing and fantastic mom observed us from the side of the water while us kids where in the pool and after, told us that we were some of the smoothest swimmers of all the kids that participate in this set. I hope I pass to level 9 this year...    fingers crossed!!!
 

2015 / 2016 School Highlights

So, yesterday school ENDED!!! Hurray!  

Here are a few highlights of my grade 4 year: 

• The Big House 

 - I liked that we got cool nature names at the Big House. (My name was "butterfly")

-Surprisingly, I liked doing the dishes. It was fun because I was the sanitize person that got to wear gloves, and if you push the gloves down far enough, they would squeeze around your hands and fingers.

-The bannock was AMAZING! It's like the best scone you've ever had in the shape of a cone that is hollow.

• Cross Country 

 - Waking up early for school! (NOT!), but

-  Winning the mini meets and getting 11th place in the big meet!

•  GETTING STRAIGHT A's!!!

 - Okay, I didn't get straight A's for my final mark, but for 3d term I did!

Great now you all now my biggest highlights of my school year!

Kuro's Dog Log

Hi, my name is Kuro. I am a black Australian Labradoodle. In this blog that I have set up, you will find out all about my day.

So today, I got food from my red wobbly thing about 3 times. Then me and Pack Leader played in the grassy bit behind my house. A few minutes after we got inside, Pack Leader put me in my bed for no good reason. It was not bedtime, but I wasn't in trouble either. Inside my bed, Pack Leader gave me a chewy, yummy thing that kept me happy. An hour later, I played with Pack Leader in the grassy bit behind my house. Then, we walked to the place the other, bigger puppies go to almost every day, but only the girl one came with us to the other place she goes to every week. After that, me and Pack Leader walked back home and then I was put back in my crate and I went to sleep. Then Pack Leader left me behind in my crate as she went somewhere else. Pack Leader came back with Girl Puppy and soon after, Boy Puppy came home. Now I am playing with the puppies.

The man who lived his life backwards.

This is a story about a man who lived backwards. It is a story I made up. Enjoy!

The man who lived life backwards

Once upon a time, there was a little town called Rshotrinale.  February 7 1896 at 12:00am... POOF! There appeared a man. He was very old and on his gray hair, was a faded brown hat. In the morning he would walk around, pronounce and say things backwards. Everyone thought he was very strange. They also thought he was getting younger and his hair was turning brown. Even the color on his hat was starting to return. Finally, Ms. Smoke and Mr. Smoke realized he was getting younger. They decided that when he got the size of a 15 year old, they would adopt him. When this “tenager” was the size of a 15 year old, the Smokes adopted him. After the Smokes thought he was 1, they brought him to the hospital to see if they could turn his life the opposite way but the doctors didn’t find a way. At 12:00am September 18 “1800” (1992 for us) suddenly POOF... he was gone. The Smokes buried the man in the graveyard, exactly where he started: under the weeping willow in the town of Rshotrinale.

Short summary of the summer

During the summer, we went on many vacations. Before all the trips, we did two sets of swimming lessons. Now I am in level eight and Adam is in level nine. The first one was a trip to RockRidge Canyon. RockRidge Canyon was a great trip. There are so many things to do. There are the water activities and the dry land activities. After RockRidge Canyon, we dog-sited Kobe for four days. We told Kobe that while he was with us, he had to walk by our side, sit when he sees another dog or human, not bark at other beings, not eat leaves or sticks, and, not bite our hands or our feet. After about a month, we went on a house boat for five days. On the house boat we swam, played games, watched Apollo 13, and, we went on hikes. Once we had docked, Mom and dad filled the paperwork and we traveled to the United States of America to go camping for three days. In the campsite, I saw a cat! I was petting the cat until these boys came and scared it away.

Those sentences represent my typical summer.

How to catch snakes

While I was at Rockridge Canyon, me and my friend Leni (Pronounced: Lay-nee) caught snakes during our free time.
 We caught snakes by the lake near and near the bridge because the snakes liked to hang out there. Here are some places we found snakes: 

• On the other side of the bridge in the slime, 
• under rocks, in the water, 
• swimming around, and 
• weaving through the rocks. 

This is the way I and Leni tried to catch snakes before we came to Rockridge :   

1. Look for a snake. 
2. Try to catch the snake by putting a bucket over it (That didn't work).
3.  If you manage to catch the snake,  try to scoop it up to get the snake in the bucket. 
4. If you are very brave, pick up the snake.

Now that we met an expert, we catch a snake like this: 

1. Find a snake in the rocks, in the water, on the rock line, etc. ... 
2. Follow the snake (If need). 
3. Catch the snake with your hands. make hand adjustments  if needed (One hand on the body, one hand gust before the head. Tight, but not squeezing, lose, but not enough to get out.)
4. Put the snake in the "habitat bucket" (One habitat bucket has water, rocks and seaweed, the other, grass and rocks.)
5.  Look for more snakes.

When we caught two snakes, one of them would go in the water bucket, the other in the land bucket. Every few minutes, we would put the snake in the other bucket (water, to no water, land to no land.). 
Caution do not put the snakes together! They might fight!!!
