Guns firing.
Planes flying by.
Bombs are dropping.
The war sounds are getting closer and closer.
A bag of clothes under my pillow.
Ready to leave at anytime.
I hear the whistling of a bomb.
Decided it’s time to go.

A Series of unfortunate events the bad beginning by Lemony Snicket . Genre: Mystery.
This book starts with the ( Bull da lars) Vilot,Klaus, and baby Sunny standing in front of their burnt down house with no parents. Mr.Poe the banker is to bring them to there new home with Count Olaf. But Count Olaf isn’t as nice as you think, he has a mean group of people in his theater group and he makes the baudelaires do adult work like make dinner chop the logs and other nasty chores. Some of the book’s weaknesses are that in parts of the book it’s really sad. Another is that it’s for a higher reading level so that means not a lot of the other kids cant read the series. Some of the strengths in this book are that there is a lesson in the book it’s to never fight with your parents because you might sit at the beach angry and the next thing you know your all alone because you never know when you parents will die.
I recommend this book to ages 10 and up. I also recommend this book to people who like mystery’s. It is also for a higher reading level. I liked this book because I find it funny in a way. I give this book a 10 out of 10 tragic stars because Lemony Snicket is a great writer. Read the rest of the books to see what happens to Vilot, sunny, and Klaus.

Earlier on this year we had the London lightnings come and visit our school. We got to take shots have, competitions and try out some cool tricks. sadly we didn’t have much time, but we all really enjoyed our selves. Man those guys are tall! A lot of people got autographs and some people even got hugs from a player on the team. The players are very talented, At the end two teachers had a competition against each other.

“Mimes must have the bodies of gymnasts, minds of actors, and hearts of poets.” – Etienne Decroux
In Drama class over the last few weeks, we’ve been learning basic mime techniques and have been having fun creating illusions. Some techniques are easier than others! We’ve learned techniques such as “the wall”, “rope”, “a box”, “mime walk”, “tight rope”.
There’s a famous Toronto mime named Etenem Oton who calls himself “ET the Mime”. He performs coast to coast in Canada, USA and in Europe. Here he is performing a funny skit called “The Car” that I think you will enjoy! Notice how the young volunteer works with the mime to help create the illusion!
Here is a mime demonstrating a “fixed point” using a balloon. Very believable!
The Fire Within by Chris Di’Camillo In this book there is many things going on and they meet a squirrel that you wouldn’t expect to be as special as he turns out to be, but at the same time a new tenant had moved in but this could change his life a lot but why, why are all these things happening how do they make a dragon without a kilning oven only some kind paranormal sounding things could do such a thing and the tenant hears hrrrrsss but what could it be and think how could a dragon cry, what do Lucy and Liz mean about all the crazy things you will hear in this book, there will be a surprising answer to this. I recommend this book to ages 11 to 14.
