First weeks of school

-
This is Sophia writing and I go by the pronounce She/Her. I go to Stratfordhall school, and have started Grade Six 2 weeks ago.

This is my first time being in a class in the MYP. I've been there on many occasions, but have not really gotten to know the building. I am getting to know its secrets fast, like the not so secret stair case from the gym to the first/second floor.

On the first week of school, it was the Orientation week. My fellow classmates and I got to know the new routine of Grade six. Can you believe we aren't allowed to talk at lunch?! And we only have 1 recess! Though many things are different, grade six has been pretty awesome.



On the Monday of my second week of school, we went to Camp Sasamat. I have gone there before in Grade 5, but the new students hadn't. It was fun to relive that special and fun experience. Also, by the way, the food there is delicious.

At the end of the day at camp Sasamat, we play what they call a Wide Game. This game involves the whole entire grade since during the rest of the time except lunch, we are split into smaller groups. The wide game we played was called Survival. You basically had to survive until the end of the game.
 
In school, Science has been one of my favourites. Mr. Lin, the Science teacher, is really funny. He runs the CrossCountry team and to persuade us to join, he promised that on the first race that there would be dolphins, seals and good weather, (He pointed outside and it was raining today) since that we were running on the beach.

Overall, Grade six seems pretty good.

 This blog is about our family life - our adventures, our ups and downs, our dreams and aspirations.  It's so easy to forget the details of the everyday and so this blog is for storing and sharing our stories.  So we can look back, remember and laugh about our life together, not just the big events but also the everyday ones that slip from our minds over time.  My hope is to capture the love we have for each other through the stories in this blog.

Start!

We've been enjoying watching the Tokyo Olympics.  It's great to see these top-level athletes compete but it's also really sad to see the stands empty.  When is this pandemic going to end??? Olympic highlights:  Canadian women swim team doing so well (Penny, Maggie Mac Neil, Kayla Sanchez), watching archery for the first time (it's very exciting), Tom Daley knitting while watching the diving competition, the youngsters in skate boarding, Damian Warner in the decathlon, and Andre De Grasse winning medals.  And Toyota had ad during the Tokyo Olympics broadcast: You don't need to be amazing to start but you need to start to be amazing.

Wow!  Grade 6!  I can hardly believe Sophia is in middle school this year.  Her years in the primary program has just flown by.  She's been fortunate to have had wonderful teachers that she liked very much (Ms. Minichiello, Ms. Ottohal, Ms. Moriarty, Ms. Todd, Ms. Takeda) and who gave her such great support and encouragement each year.  Sophia started as a shy girl who was afraid to speak up but by Grade 5, she had come out of her shell, become more self-confident, and let her personality shine through. We've enjoyed watching her grow and support her as best we can.  My daily reminders to her are do your best, be kind, be you.  She makes us proud!
