Chopped!

by Sophie

Chopped is a great cooking show. I really like it but I feel bad for the people and how they get "Chopped." If you do not know what that means it is like when you are in a contest and you lose but there are more rounds in cooking.

Let’s get back to the important part. Your time limit is about 30 minutes. Imagine having to cook a meal in half an hour! It sounds stressful and to get eliminated it can get really frustrating.

Poseidon

by Michael

Hi! Have you ever read about the Greek gods? I’m focusing only on Poseidon. Poseidon is the god of the sea. He is really powerful, he is one of my favorite gods or characters. Poseidon has different looks but the looks I like is where half his body is a kraken and it’s really cool.

Me and Claire B.

by Katie

Yesterday, me and Claire. B were playing Pokemon. Claire. B was Greninja. I was her trainer. Well, Claire. B didn’t start out as Greninja, She started as Froakie. Froakie evolves into Frogadier that evolves into Greninja. At Spanish class, I told Claire. B to go to her class (it’s actually her table.) When Claire. B was going to back pick-up, I pretended that she was going to a play date with Frogadier and Greninja. And a sleepover.

Heathcote Spirit Day!

by Xiyan

At my school, we have a day called Spirit Day it’s when the whole school dresses up in our school colors (Yellow, White, and Black), but some people go even more far. Some people like my friend Carlie get so festive, that they have face paint, lipstick, and even tattoo’s! But the fun is when we get to have pom poms, and dance around at lunch! But there is also another activity we go to, it’s after Spirit day and it’s the Heathcote Carnival, but now since we aren’t allowed to have rides anymore, we call it a fair. But it’s still fun without the rides, like there is food, and you can even win special prizes, like maybe have breakfast with your teacher, or go to a curling game with Mr. Borgia (Our P.E. teacher). And this year, I am more excited than any other year because my teacher Mrs. Rago, promised that she would bring her kids Rory and Finn, and I haven’t actually met them in person but I know that they are super cute! Because the whole class has seen tons of pictures of them. I hope that this year’s Spirit day and Fair will be even more fun than ever!  

My Skateboarding Life

by Michael

A few days a go I got a skateboard I started years ago and I didn’t like it but now I have a total different feeling for skateboard. I really like it. I don’t use it for tricks I use it for transportation it might be a little boring if I always ride my bike to school but i’m planning to use the skateboard to ride to my school. Probably you're thinking why I can’t go to school right now it’s because i’m not skillful enough I know it’s kind of embarrassing.

Here is a video of how to skateboard...

Well that was the end of my story!

State Test Perspective - from a 3rd grader

by Sophie

Today was the state test I personally  DO NOT LIKE the state only because it is so quiet and you are only allowed to write and answer questions it is really boring but to parents it is the best thing in the world and we have it for three whole days. I wish that the state test was at least a little shorter. The state test had 22 questions I hope tomorrow is a little easier and this are second time taking it. This is my first time doing the state test and it is only a tiny bit important to show the state your progress but in a kid’s perspective it is not important. Your opinion might be different but this is mine.

Playdate with Alina and Caroline

by Katie

Yesterday, I had a play date with Caroline and Alina at Alina’s house. Alina made up this club called C.C.P. She got it from the book "Dork Diaries." Alina called Caroline, Steph. Me and Caroline called Alina, Jess. They call me Lizz. At first, I didn’t like the club C.C.P but later, I liked it. I played on Alina’s iPad Cooking Fever and helped Alina with words in Word Cookies. For dinner, we had dumplings. I ate the most dumplings because I’m a dumplings fan and second of all is because I eat a lot. Then we ate ice cream. I ate the slowest because I had a candy that takes a lot of time to make it tiny. Me and Caroline’s mom came after we ate ice cream.

State Test Perspective

by Jack

Today we had the state test exams for the math set. It was really easy and only had 22 questions. But I don’t like the tests, because you have to do SO MANY practice tests that have more questions. The test takes up so much time and when you finish, in the ELA tests, you read for an hour. But today it was only 30 minutes. Then we went outside until lunch. But this was probably the shortest state test on record. The test was boring. I never liked the state tests. From a kid’s perspective, they are just a waste of time. That’s because they take up the whole morning having you do ELA explanations or answering math questions that just are not useful.
