The Terry Fox Run

Imagine this, finally getting to start something 

you love, being able to show others what you can do. This was Terry Fox, just a regular guy who wants to join basketball. One day he finally makes it, and after just a short while he feels a sharp pain in his right knee. Sure enough this pain cannot be ignored because, it turns out, he has osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. This meant the end of his basketball season.

          Terry Fox is now one of many Canadian heroes, for attempting to run across our country to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Just because Terry didn't make it, it doesn't mean this cause should stop, so on Friday, September 27, Major School was ready to run. For about a month the 4/5/6 class and their wonderful supervisor Ms. Reichert, had been organizing this great event. Well, let’s start from the very beginning.

          The community of Major was excited as they lined up, with the hot sun beating down on them, waiting for the sign to start.

          “Ready, Set, GO!” shouted Mrs. Ross, the principal, and the crowd was off. All I could see was heads bobbing as they bolted towards the next corner while we were off on our way to set up the water station. Luckily, we beat the crowd, but we forgot the cups! Ms. Komar, our helper for the water station, quickly drove back to the school as I started to get worried. She grabbed the cups, and then she grabbed her phone for music. Unfortunately, a lot of thirsty people passed while Ms. Komar was hurrying to get back, so they just squirted refreshing water into their thirsty mouths. It was so amazing how many tired people from the community passed by. It felt great to encourage them when I gave them water to help them keep going. I especially loved it when I got to run with them for a short distant, until AJ, my partner, handed them their water, even though I was wearing slippers! After a little while, we thought we were done so we drove over to see if any thirsty runners were still out there. Then we went back to the school and snacked on some of the delicious leftover snacks.

                Major School’s Terry Fox Run was a great success, raising $1890 for cancer research, which is  more than last year! Although the Run is over for the year, it doesn't mean we should stop making miracles. Even if I don’t finish we need others to continue. Terry Fox July 10, 1980.

All About Yours Truly

Hi! My name is Kara I am 11 years old. I live in on a farm in Saskatchewan; I come from near a small town or as others call us, a small village. I think I’m average height for my age, but I am one of the tallest in my grade. I have brown wavy hair and my eyes are hazel when you look at them really closely. My favourite color is blue and green and I love dancing and playing the piano. I don’t exactly have a best friend because everybody at my school is friends.

I love my family. In my family I am the middle child. I have an older brother named Sam (short for Samuel) and a younger brother named Ben (short for Benjamin and my full name is Kara). All of us are still in school. Sam is in grade 8, Ben is in grade 4 and I am in grade 6. We live with both my mom and my dad. My mom is a substitute teacher and my dad is a full time farmer. I come from a kind of big family with about 10 cousins on each side.

My 2 favorite subjects in school are art and ELA because I love to draw, write, and express myself. 2 of my favourite animals are zebras and polar bears which is weird because they are so different, but they are both really cute. I love to read and I have read so many books so it’s really hard to pick a favourite book but I love Louis Sacher and Rick Riordan because they have written some really great books. I don’t really have a favorite movie but I love Kindergarten Cop and The Scream Team. A couple good songs are Roar by Katy Perry and Both Sides, now a remake by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Glow Bowling!!!

On Friday Oct. 4 (yesterday) I went to my friend Julie's house because it was her birthday. we had a blast first decorating shirts with neon paint, playing around on their drum set, and to top it all off, we went glow bowling! We played 2 games. I got second on both I think but we didn't really care!

What I Value in OTHERS

I value understanding in a friend. Understanding is when someone knows/feels what you are going through. I value this because it makes you and your friend closer as friends. Your friend is someone you can talk to.

I like it when my friends are apologetic. When people say sorry, they are being apologetic.  I like this because it helps you be better friends. When people say sorry it means they realize what they did.

I like it when others are fun. When people are fun they just look on the bright side of things and are just silly. I value this quality because it’s good when people aren't serious all the time. I like to have fun and I want my friends to too. 

What I Value in MYSELF

I value honesty in myself. Honesty is when you tell the truth. I value this because I want people to -believe me and trust me. When people trust me then I can trust them.

In me, I value positivity. When I look on the bright side of things, I am being positive. I want people to look to me for help. I want to smile even when it’s hard.

I want to be helpful to others. Being helpful is when I help others with doing anything.  If I am helpful people will feel happy to have an extra hand. I want others to be helpful and if I am helpful then so will they.

Math Graph

Below you will see a graph that I made at school. I went around the school asking, "What is your favourite Holiday?" Their choices were New Years, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, summer, Canada Day, back 2 school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthday, other, or none. I found out that for boys and girls the most popular is summer followed by Christmas. Tied for last are Thanksgiving, Canada day, back 2 school, and Valentines day. My Results weren't very surprising. What Holiday would you choose?

The Mealworm Diaries By: Anna Kerz

The Mealworm Diaries is a book about Jeremy, a boy who has just moved from the relaxing Ocean in Nova Scotia to the noisy streets in Toronto. His new school takes a lot of getting used to, especially when you’re paired with the most annoying kid for the whole science unit! Will Jeremy fit in or will he be laughed at just because of the accident? Find out by reading The Mealworm Diaries!

I think others should read this book because it is very entertaining! When I first read this book well, I couldn't stop! It is a real page turner and it leaves you in cliff hanging positions. I think anyone ages 8-12 would enjoy this book girls or boys!
