A WINTERY MORNING

Brrr! What a cold day it is today!! It doesn’t get cold enough to snow in Rowville like it does in Owen Sound, but it gets very chilly and windy in the mornings. When I woke up at Ben’s house the grass was all crunchy with frost. Ben’s mum thought I might get cold at night so she gave me some toasty warm socks to wear. Tyana’s mum had the same idea and made sure she was wearing a warm jacket and woollen beanie before she left the house to go to school.

CAMPBELL'S NEW CAT

On the weekend I went home with Campbell. It was a special weekend for Campbell's family because it was his Mum's birthday. You won't believe what she got as a present... A new cat! It's name is Yoda, which is a name from a movie called Star Wars. Campbell tried to make Yoda look at the camera for the photo, but I think he needs to learn some manners because he wouldn't listen! Afterwards, everyone had some party food, and Campbell let me try some chips. Yummy!

A WEEKEND WITH CHELSI

This weekend I went home with Chelsi. It was a very special weekend because Chelsi was going to a Christening! We both made sure we looked extra nice for the celebration. Chelsi put ribbons in her hair and I put on a nice, clean jumper and made sure my fur was brushed. Cheli and I went to have a look at the cake. Doesn't it look absolutely delicious?

HANGING OUT WITH KATRYA

This weekend I have been hanging out with Katrya, literally! We had a great time playing on her gym set, and she showed me a new way of looking at the world, upside down! In two weeks we have our holidays, and I can't wait to see who I'll be spending them with and what we will do. I wonder if everyone at Owen Sound is on holidays yet. We get two weeks holidays, but I know that Owen Sound gets much longer! Does Bounce know where he is going to spend his holidays?

A ROCKING WEEKEND

Last weekend I went home with Damon. The weather wasn't too good, so we decided to have a few cosy and warm days inside. Damon has some really great things to play with, and I was having so much fun that I didn't miss the outside too much. We played Harry Potter chess, and then we rocked out with Guitar Hero! We were so good on the guitar that I think we should start our own band! What should we call our band?

BOUNCING AROUND

At Rowville every week the Grade 2 children go outside for some sport. They play games and do exercises, and everyone has lots of fun. This week I joined 2F for sport because they needed someone small to bounce in their giant parachute. It was so much fun! When everyone lifted the parachute up, I flew up into the air, and then I landed in the parachute on the way down. It felt just like flying!

FIESTA ITALIANA!

Today was a very exciting day for everyone at Rowville because it was Fiesta Italiana! The children explained to me that every year they have the festival to celebrate all things Italian. Everyone dressed up in the colours of the Italian flag, which are green, white and red. I fit right in with my red Owen Sound jumper.
We went out onto the basketball courts to do some chalk drawing, like the beautiful chalk pictures on the streets in Italy. I got to do some drawing as well, and I drew a picture of my school and all my friends back in Canada.

We also watched a play called Alladino, which was like the story of Alladin, but parts of it were in Italian! The children learn Italian at school, so they could understand what they were saying, but even I could understand the story because the actors were so good!


Later the children worked on mosaics of some famous Italian landmarks, like the leaning tower of Pisa, the Colosseum, and a Gondolier. Here I am helping Isabella colour her mosaic in.
