What a great couple field trips we’ve had this month!
We finished our Plants unit (Science) with a special plant walk with indigenous plant specialist, Cease Wyss, who told us many stories of plants and their special qualities. Thank you, Cease! Though it was a rainy day, it was great to learn so much from you!
We also went to Science World and participated in a Chemistry Lab, learning about pH, solutions and reactions. What a great day!
I think Auggie deserves this medal because he showed a lot of bravery and courage. He showed a lot of bravery and courage because when he went to the nature retreat there were these 7th graders who were picking on August but August didn’t care about older people picking on him. They were pushing him and making fun of him but he stood his ground and he stood his ground and he stood up for himself and Jack. After this incident Auggie’s life completely changed, everyone accepted him because of the incident that happened, people thought he was really brave because he proved others wrong and stood up for himself and the others, he proved others wrong because he showed others that he can do the same things others do with a facial disorder, he might even do things better than others do.
The quote Mr. Tushman said was, “Greatness lies not in being strong but in the right use of strength. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts. He is the greatest whose heart carries the most hearts by the attraction of its own.”
The award is called the Henry Ward Beecher medal. Auggie is really deserving of this award because he never gave up and he earned everyone’s respect even when he gets neglected and bullied. He keeps going and he eventually found someone not because of how he looks but because of the bravery and perseverance he showed towards others.
The way Auggie effects other people’s lives is truly amazing because sometimes people without a facial disorder can’t even change someone but can you imagine a guy with that kind of disorder change a bunch of people’s lives in a positive way, He really does deserve this medal.
Stress, stress, stress. One of my (Least) favourite things to talk and write about. Like us, stress can come in many different forms and can be expressed in different ways. Usually, kids like us don’t experience different types of stress. The forms of stress I experience are:
Homework is one of those really stressful things in life that REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS. Sorry about that, I just have to represent my extreme dislike in some way. Most of us students (Except the 1% of people who really love homework) have quite a deep hatred for homework. Time is of the essence when you’re doing homework. This is one of the most important things to keep in your mind if you want to get your homework done on time. Time management is one of those things that Ms. Lanaway always reminds us to do.
Step One: DON’T PUT IT OFF. If you have homework and you aren’t over-scheduled or too busy, it’s a good idea to do your homework because if you always say to yourself, “it’s fine, I can do it later”, then you will eventually not be able to finish it. Step Two: MAKE TIME. This is also really important because it has to do with time (Time is a key/important word, as you can see). I you are over-scheduled or too busy, you won’t get the opportunity to do your homework. If your parents say that you have go to something, you either decline (politely), or you do that quickly and then start your work. Always remember one thing: TIME
Step Two: BE ORGANIZED. Don’t lose your materials. be organized, keep track of where your stuff is and make sure you bring the stuff you need (That was a surprisingly short step!).
Conflict with family and friends is one of the most stressful things in life. For instance, while you’re having dinner, you say something you didn’t mean to say. Or you have have a disagreement about something and start to quarrel. I’ve noticed that many people with siblings (Older or younger), fight quite frequently. This happens because of jealousy or competition. Fights with your parents usually leaves you getting a verbal chastisement. You should always try to avoid squabbles with your friends and family, and if you do start to bicker, you should try and follow these steps:
Step 1. Someone else’s view:
You should try to understand what the other person is trying to imply and try to find middle ground. Then the argument can be resolved.
Step 2. Be respectful:
While you’re resolving your argument, speak respectfully. Ms. Lanaway taught us to use “I” statements. An example of an I statement is:“I felt… when…”. Do this instead of accusing someone else while protecting yourself. Exchange I statements and you understand what the other person is feeling.
Step 3. Get over it: Come to a mutual agreement or understanding and be kind to each other again. Just because you had this one fight doesn’t mean that the other person is evil. Enjoy being together and have fun.
Like I said at the beginning, kids like us don’t experience many different stressful situations (And even if we did, I still wouldn’t write them all because it would be too long), but I hope you enjoyed reading this blog. I think I am decent at managing my stress using these strategies in these situations. I also hope you found it helpful in some of your stressful situations. Bye!

I think it is a bad idea because of the following reasons. It is a bad idea because it is very expensive, just to see animals that are about to be extinct, even though they are causing it. If something happened to the ship the 17OO people at risk. If there is ice in the way, they are going to destroy the ice making climate change faster. That’s why I think that the cruise ship is a bad idea.
What we did this morning was that we were talking about strategies on how we could deal with stress and solutions on how we could stop stress, what I normally do is that I drink cold water or I go to the couch and think for a minute or two and then I go back and I take things slowly. The way I deal with homework is that I drink a cold glass of water or I go outside and cool off or I take deep breathes but just because you have stress doesn’t mean you put off your work you still do it nut cool off when your stressed. What causes me to be stressed is that my sister is always mean to me and she calls me an idiot whenever I’m trying to help her out and when she says I do it wrong and when I’m actually doing it right she gets mad and she starts calling me an idiot and all sorts of names. Even when she gets mad at me and I get mad at her than I get in trouble when she started calling me names sometimes I think they hate me but that’s not it it’s just because my sister is older than me and my mom mostly believes her than me. But whenever I’m stressed I go outside and play soccer or I just take a deep breathe or go on the couch but I really don’t do that’s because my sister is always there so I just get cold glass of water. It works for me it should work for you too
I am talking about stress and how I avoid it. I sometimes I leave my homework to the last day. If I try to go fast then I start to stress, I don’t know why. But if I don’t go fast, then I start to calm down.
I also don’t stay organised in many things, like a desk/bin, binder, a box, when I can’t find something, and more. I fail a lot to stay organised. How to be calm when not organised is clean up every day, I mostly forget to, but I try to remember to clean up.
I stress when I am losing a game. I only stress about it when I try it so many times and still fail. I try to not stress by saying it is just a game or I stop playing the game.
That’s is what I mostly stress about other things I don’t remember how to be calm or I don’t remember at all. That’s how I manage stress!!!!
“Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength… He is the strongest whom carries up the most hearts by attraction of his own.” -Mr.Tushman
Throughout his life, August wasn’t accepted. During his time at Beacher Prep, August finds people who would stand up for him and fight for him, even if it would put them in harm’s way. Jack Will used to only care about being popular. After Jack Will became August’s friend, he learned about humiliation and being treated like dirt. In the fight with the 7th Graders, August, Jack, Amos, and Miles fought them off. After the fight, everyone recognized August’s courage. Later, August becomes recognized and earns everyone’s respect. He was finally accepted and appreciated by other kids! All of August’s friends were lifted up. All of them didn’t care about what others might’ve thought about them because they were happy.
August inspired others, and even though he was labeled as different, he showed bravery and rose above the cruelty of others. He showed bravery, helpfulness, and kindness (Even to his enemies). This way, he carried up the hearts of others by his own attraction. He carried those hearts up because of what he was on the inside, not the outside. August is truly a wonder.

Hello my name is Marko, and I will tell you some tricks/pranks to pull on your friends without too much cleanup! My 1st is to find a medium sized bucked and fill it with water, then but it carefully on top of a door that leads to a room that people commonly go to. Then when they open the door they will get SPLASHED!!! My second prank is to Take the eggs from someone’s refrigerator and hard-boil them. Then put them back where you found them. Can work well when camping, only do a few if you want breakfast! My 3rd prank is to Fold the flat sheet on the bed double and tuck in securely on the sides, when the person get into bed they can’t go further than half way! My 4th prank Works well with someone that speaks on their Office Telephone a lot. Place a small piece of clear tape over the speaker part of the handset. Watch how your pranked friend gets seriously annoyed with the phone and the people on the other end! Add some extra office noise! For more Fun remove the tape for a while then stick it back – continue this on and off throughout the day! My 5th prank is to tell a friend that you know a great trick. Put your hand palm-down on the table and balance a full glass of liquid) on the back of your hand. Bet your friend that they can’t balance a glass on both hands at once (help your friend to put them in place). As soon as you have the glasses balanced on the prospects hands, stand up and walk out. They will be trapped and will have to spill to escape.
Thanks you for reading this article! Hopefully this was useful and will help you prank people!
This was really fun to write and for some pranks I got inspiration from YouTube videos!

I have lots thing I like to do. I like to play video games. My favorite video games is Block N Load, is a games you can download at steam and it’s free .I like to play this game because this game is fun and you can play multiplayer ,you choose someone and you kill another player. This game is all block so is like Minecraft, you can build blocks to protect your turret and someone need to destroy another player’s turret.
I like to play sport too, my favourite sport is badminton. I have lesson every Friday, and I play badminton every Sunday. Every time when we play badminton my aunt drive me and my brother to where we play badminton, we like to play badminton, but I’m not so good at badminton so I ask my parent can I have a badminton lesson, and my parent agree. So now I have badminton lesson now.
This two is my favourite thing to do.
