On my first eight days of school I had homework every day and I had homework club.  We have a new kid. His name is Timothy he has a little brother named Adam they are the only kids in their family. We had an artist in our school this week he taught every body from grade 7 to 12 and we only had a week to learn our moves. Me and 3 other boys from my class when for the advanced class it started out as us four and the grew in to nine kids we only had three days to learn our stuff it was fun because on friday we had a concert for the school and parents. Everybody did great especially the advanced if I do say so my self.

The artist also had a band and could act in fact he stared in a Warner Bros. movie. He was cool but yet strict enough to keep 28 kids in line. Now that would be hard but it was worth it because everybody loved the show. My parents came and watched and so did my two sisters one of my sisters was performing herself. My dad was joking about my dancing and how he could do better but I don’t think so you have to be really fit not that my dad’s fat but he couldn’t handle the moves because I could barelly handle the moves.

Hello I haven’t written since March I’m now 13 years old and I still live in Snow lake Mb. I now have a bigger class than last year we have 28 kids that’s a lot of  kids in one class room. I’m now in grade 8 and I have the same teacher but I sit beside a new kid his name is Ben also. He is the brother of Hien he sat beside me last year and he moved up to grade 9 and I now sit beside Ben. Ben moved here from South Africa with his family. I don’t quite know why they moved to such a small town but they did. My best friends Aaron and Ben are in my class so we can talk a lot but we also made a homework club only the three of us have gone. We have met four times now since half way through september. Thatis all for now bye.

Smart set is a class project that we are doing and I chose to do Zurich switzerland and I find it fasinating. The reason i’m doing Zureich is because I wanted to find a different place from every body else in a different countrie. In Zurich they have lots of festivities and fairs and here is the spring festival.

The reason I chose this picture is because it really shows how they look in Zürich when they are having festivities. Another reason I chose Zurich is because it had to be not a town or city in North America so I thought to myself maybe there is a place in Jamacia. Then I looked it up and I saw that the biggest city wasn’t that big after all. So then I thought haw about Switzerland and that is how I found  it. The city of Zurich so beutiful it maybe cool on some days but is is just an amazing place to live.

In chapters 9-12 the flow in info is enormous. There is so much foreshadowing and that is what makes the book interesting. I wish I had some pics to show you but  I couldn’t find any on flickr.com. I really thought that the Wave book would have a picture on Flickr but I guess not. I even tried to find TheWave.com but it didn’t show anything about the book.But overall the end it is a really good book. So read it if you can I would mind you I all ready have.

The wave is a book about a history class experiment that went terribly wrong. The wave has a very big grasp on you once you start reading and you just can’t stop reading it. The wave has a certain  way of keeping its characters hidden so you have to find out what will happen next. The wave  has a certain way of getting your attention and keeping it while other books have a lot of ways to keep attention but the wave has a way of  keeping you occupied. The history classes experiment was about Hitler’s Germany and the Nazis and also about the concentration camps that killed thousands of Jews.

The history teacher was caught by a students question and had to figure out what the answer was. Then he made a group called the wave. The group was like a little youth group of teens that came to find out the answer to the question. That is when it got out of hand the wave was taking over the school.

At last, technology has evolved enough to accommodate our dream costume. Evan Booth built this Gaping Hole sweatshirt in late 2006, using a portable DVD player’s LCD in front, connected to the camera in back by shoulder straps.

Brilliant! Now that video cameras are smaller, cheaper and higher quality, and screens are flatter and have longer battery life, imagine what you could do next Halloweenwith an all-HD setup. You have eight months. Really that is a cool costume and it would make an awesome Halloween costume. Who would have thought of that kind of use to technology for the right kind of scary purpose. I think that this hole is pretty good and should be used a fair amount during Halloween. I also think that the guy who made this costume should become a Halloween costume designer.

That’s a scary costume that I wouldn’t want to come to my door.

Here is a pic of my new house  being built. this is one of the door ways. Here is one of the bathroom tiles. It took 2 and a 1/2 years to build that is a long time.  I have another picture to show you of the out side of my house from the lake.this is the back that faces the lake and you really get alot of sun through the windows. We moved in to the new house Christmas eve and had our first Christmas in the new house. we had a 16 foot Christmas tree and whent a little over board with the lights.  My uncle who came to visit said we had more lights than he has seen in a bar in Montreal. 3 days after christmas we took down everything and it took the whole day to do that. We are still unpaking and are almost done we went to Winnipeg for a break after christmas and got a flat screen T.V. that is 52 inches.

My teacher had us do an assignment and what we had to do was find news that would be interesting and this is what I found quite interesting. My news is about child slavery and labour I think it needs to stop and if you want some blog sites here is one of the ones that I found http://www.mockpaperscissors.com/?p=12913  it has a fair amount of info and I read some and was baffled at the info they put out. During my searching I thought what kind of slave labour is happening around the world and I came across this link http://www.aidworkers.net/?q=node/1948  I was amazed at what I found on this one link. On another link I found a vast variety of labours and harassments   http://freedomcenter.org/freedom-forum/index.php/2008/12/togo-child-servants-live-slavelike-existence/  I think it is sad that kids around the world and mostly in third world contries have to take this abuse and slavery.  I think it is sick that kids get taken from their familys and lives and get stuck in a world were you work or you don’t get your living which is very disgusting in so many ways. Then there are girls that get stuck with sexual harassment and the sex trade like our world has changed in so many ways it is just wrong to see kids from the ages 8 to when they are fully grown and it is sad because that means they don’t get educated like you and I. Here is another link to check out http://paulstokes.blogspot.com/2008/11/child-slavery-in-sudan.html\ this link is all about the slavery of chideren in sudan. This is the last link I have http://blogs.amnesty.org.uk/blogs_entry.asp?eid=2435.  I think childeren around the world should all not have to be taken in to captivity like animals but live normal lives and be educated like me and you so I think that all childeren should be able to live wtih their familys and live happy lives so WORLD LETS STOP CHILD ABUSE AND SLAVERY AND VERY MUCH THE SEX TRADE.

My life has had some ups and downs. When I was 18 months I was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors didn’t know it was there until one night I was at home and I started crying and woke my sister up she didn’t know what was wrong so she went and told my mom who rushed into my sisters  room and tried to figure out what was wrong. But she didn’t know either so she took me to the hospital and they found the lump on my left side and rushed me to the emergency room where I went through chemo and it just kept coming until they operated on my side and i’m 12 and still have the scar.
