Tis the End of School
By: Tiny (Grade 6)
Tis the end of school shout and play about No care for homework no finding a pout Everythings great so fine and so free Your spirits doth soar so like a high tree But what about all those fun school times? The reason I can make up all these rhymes? I’ll miss the people who have been friends for so long The fun we had whether right or wrong But wait what about the glorious summertime Not missing school is that such a crime Everyone is eventually going their separate way Summer is spectacular while school is okay And yet what about your work and your knowledge The talents and skills that success into college Summer is nice but school is your mind Where you meet new people friends one of a kind Farewell to you all does it take so long for a goodbye Surely you’ll see them soon since your friends are close by I don’t understand why is everything to amends Things are happening around me I can’t comprehend Because life comes along and as well does it go Different places you must learn not with others spread woe Farewell and goodbye to all of you in turn Remember your feelings and what you must learn Tis the end of school say goodbye to peers Start a new journey face new life and your fears
Cops and Robbers By: Imran (Grade 6)
Cops and Robbers is a great recces game to play with your friends . To play Cops and Robbers, you just need to follow a few simple rules. The goal of the game is for the cops team to capture all the robbers and prevent jailbreaks. In this article I will go over the rules so the next time you do not have away to spend your recces, you can remember Cops and Robbers and have a great time . There are just a few simple rules to fallow to have a good time when playing Cops and Robbers. They are: Jailbreaks, Hiding, and What happens when you are captured.
JAILBREAKS Jailbreaks can happen any time a member of the robbers team runs up and touches the jail. The ideal location for the jail is one that is accessible from all sides such as any of the picnic tables or benches in the north yard and any of the logs in the south yard. Once a jail break happens, all of the people in jail get a 10 second free walk. The opposing team (the cops) can have 1 jail guard for up to 5 prisoners. Once the number of prisoners is past 5, you are allowed 2 jail guards but no more.
HIDING Once you agree on teams, the cops have to close their eyes and count to 20. This gives the robbers a chance to find a good place to hide. Once you are hidden, you are allowed to move around to avoid capture. A good hiding spot is unnoticeable and you should make sure you can not be seen. Also, do not just look in one direction but be aware of your surroundings - someone might sneak up behind you. It is a bad idea to hide with one of your fellow robbers because the last thing you want is for you and your friend to be last two people on your team and both get caught.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU ARE CAUGHT Once you are caught you have to be escorted back you jail. One cop can only catch one robber. The cop first has to escort the robber back to jail before they can catch another. Once you are a prisoner, you are not allowed to struggle; otherwise, you might get hurt. The cop has to touch you for you to be caught.
HELPFULL TIPS 1. Each team should have no more than 10 players on each team, otherwise it will get too confusing. 2. If the bell rings, every robber has to run and touch the same thing. For example, a log, tree, railing, or building. Everyone playing should agree on this place at the beginning of the game. The cops are, however, allowed to to guard the place and if they catch you before you touch, you are still caught. People who are in jail should still try to touch the object.
Cookies
By: Micaela (Grade 5) Have you ever eaten a cookie and wanted to change something about the recipe because it doesn’t taste quite right? Here’s your chance!!! Go on the internet or look in a cookbook and find a simple oatmeal, shortbread, or peanut butter cookie recipe. First make the dough. Then comes the fun part!!! Look in your cupboard or your fridge and find anything that you think will taste good in your cookies. I suggest chocolate chips; vanilla chips, peanut butter chips, and broken up chocolate bars but there is lots more options. Mix it in your dough, make balls of dough, butter a pan, pop it in the oven and voila!!! DELICIOUS!!!!

My Forest
By: Lauren (Grade 6)
It’s a different land from what I know land of trees stretching tall all around here animals of all shapes and sizes live and where sometimes it’s so quiet you can’t hear a sound
I love this place, my home right now‘till school starts again this is where I belong When I can no longer hear the lark sing her songWhen the time comes to leave and I can no longer Run around free, without coming home ever My heart won’t feel right for part of it’s hereIn the forest, my home, my safe haven forever. I’ll miss you my love, my joy, my beautyWhat will I do when summer comes to an end?Thrive and grow while I’m gone my darling Before long I’ll be back with more love to send. Though in autumn your leaves will fall And cold north winds will blow ‘round the bendIn spring your leaves will bloom lush and greenAnd then I’ll be back with you once again.
Grim Hill the Secret DeepensBook Review
By: Larry (Grade 6)
Grim Hill the secret deepens is a fantastic book. It is the sequel to, the Secret of Grim Hill which was also an amazing book and I suggest you read it if you have not already. Grim Hill the secret deepens is about a girl named Cat Peters. After a soul shaking Halloween things are starting to get back to normal again for Cat but things get all worst again once her sister Sookie gets a magic kit for her birthday. Sookie starts a magic show, which becomes real popular in the town but then Cat finds out that Sookies tricks are not just illusions but is actually real magic and creates a deadly spell for the whole town. This book is just as great as the first book and you will easily get hooked on quickly. It talks a lot about magic, ancient Celts legends and creepy mysteries so if you like those type of books than you will certainly love this one. Grim Hill the Secret Deepens is written by Linda DeMeulemeester. The genre of this book is Fantasy Fiction. This book has 192 pages and was released on October 22 2009. This book is recommended for children in Grade 4 to Grade 6. Have fun reading!
