EMILY WESSON

IlL

My name is Emily and I'm thirteen years old, This is my last year at YMS, or so I'm told, After this year I'll go to North Toronto And during the summer I'll attend camp Oconto.

My favourite subject is obviously Art I've worked at it hard with all of my heart.

When I leave my class and head for the mall I'll miss YMS, teachers, friends .and all.

BACK TO SCHOOL I flew six hours on a jet to Toronto after a Board Meeting on the 2003 fashions. A class reunion at York Montessori School soon awaited. I was excited to see how everyone had changed but I was also worried because it had been at least 10 years since I had seen anyone.

The building on Bayview had been built at least five years ago and still looked rather new. I walked in the front doors finding a big orange sign with "CLASS REUNION_GYM" written in large black letters. So I was off to find the gym; never being in the school before, I was lost. After wandering around; finally I turned a corner and there was the gym with all my old classmates.

The first person I saw was Emily, her long blonde hair sticking to her shoulders. We greeted each other and she explained how she had become a nutritionist. Emily really didn't say much but what's to say? Ten years had gone by and we really grew apart. Emily was married while she was still in college and had a little girl a year later.

There were sketches of things we drew, designed and photographs we unexpectedly posed for, displayed on the gym walls.

Angela was passing around business cards for her father's gallery she would one day own. Meghan, not far away from Angela, was telling Chris how she won a gold medal in Olympic ski racing. On the other hand, Chris became a professional hockey player and still had "Flyers" written on the back of his head.

Zach, performing on the stage in front of Justin(the only one whe would listen and sometimes even laugh), was a comedian.

Jared opened up a practice in law , called Law and Order. Jared sat discussing Ashley's yearly salary and how much his horse should cost. Of course, Ashley was familiar with this already. Ashley never really grew and therefore became a horse jockey, which he really enjoyed.

Markus sat sipping his tea which he brought from the church where he became a priest at age 17.

Ken became an artist; I found him sitting and admiring some portraits he did of himself in grades 7 and 8.

Jed walked around the gym many times not saying anything and then smiled at one of Zach's jokes.

KEEP PEDALLING Reading is like riding a bike, it may seem hard to do, If you keep pedalling it'll come naturally to you.

You can read short stories and poetry too, The choice is really up to you.

You may be reading a novel or even a little rhyme, Reading is something you do in your spare time.

There's fun with Dickens and even Nancy Drew, It depends on what reading, YOU, like to do.

By Jared Green Grade 8 WAITING BETWEEN THE PAGES Reading When I open the book the pages crinkle From mystery, fantasy, romance, fiction, Slavery, War, Murder, Freedom, Peace, to Life.

It sends me to lands here, there and everywhere.

George moved to Greece a few months after his college graduation and moved back to Toronto within 2 years. He opened up a restaurant where he and his mother made Greek foods and desserts.

Ryan Trainor opened up a hair salon for punks where he and his friends designed hairdos.

At last there was Miss Charron, drinking her coffee and chatting with Markus. She was shocked at what he had become. Really, I think Markus was more shocked than anyone!

All in all, my class reunion wasn't what I had expected, but what ever is.

Emily drove me to the airport and I said she was invited to Paris whenever she needed a vacation. So we said our goodbyes and I was off, back to Paris.

Having enjoyed this class reunion, I would be back for the next one shortly around the corner.

MASTERPIECES I like to read a lot of books from mystery to fiction and even a few plays Famous authors like Asminov, Agatha Christie and Shakespeare are some of the authors I like to explore.

When I read a mystery a chill runs down my back and when I read a humorous book I always get a laugh and even sometimes a tear can appear for all the great authors that I read.

You always learn something from books So you have nothing to lose if you pick one up and read from page one all the way to the end.

THE EVIL WIZARD

FINDING THE RIGHT SPOT

By

I like to read at home a lot, But I have a lot of trouble finding a spot, There's never any quiet, Because there is always a riot.

Robbie Battista, grade one Ashley Davidson, grade eight This Is dedicated to Micky, Kristina, and Laura.

Since I always wander off, I can never find the right spot, my sister always steals my book, my brother always want to look.

I run to my room and shut the door, and sometimes till midnight or more, The family knocks and tries to come in, Sometimes I come out to hear a din.

Sometimes when I read a lot I fall asleep, and my thoughts become very deep, I dream about the books I've read, and the stories run around in my head.

But what I enjoy most of all, is sitting in the garden in the Fall, under a tree, my books and me, I think so very happily.

Reading, an antidote for boredom,

BACK IN BLACK Appropriately, Young People's Theatre has launched its 25th Anniversary Season with "The Woman in Black", a spine chilling thriller written several years ago by aspiring author, Susan Hill.

I personally believe Peter Moss, the director, has done a superior job in casting the actors, of which there are only three. They are able to keep us interested and excited throughout the play. There is always some action going on. It is very exciting because it seems that every time Kipps turns around, the Woman in Black appears, scaring the living daylights out of him and everyone in the audience.

What makes it such a challenging production is that the two male roles must act as two men, an actor and an older retired lawyer. They must reenact the tragedy that happened to Arthur Kipps many years ago. One of the actors must play over ten different roles and if I hadn't known, I would have thought it was a different man every time. He plays the roles very well and usually has a certain trait for each character. For example, when he plays the role of someone who worked with him in his office, he sniffs rather loudly, quite frequently. This way we know which role he is playing.

Other strong points of the play are the lighting, done by Paul Mathieson , and the sound, done by Rod Mead. Sometimes, when the light and sound were in effect together, they were actually able to make the audience scream with terror. This often happened when young Kipps was spending the night in Mme. Drabeau's rickety old house. The Woman in Black appeared; a bloodcurdling scream was let out for several seconds. This was enough to have the audience on the edge of their seats for the rest of the play.

The director, Peter Moss, is now in his eleventh season at Y.P.T. He has directed over twenty productions including Jacob Two-Two and the Dinosaur and Jane Eyre. I have seen both of these and can truthfully say that this is the best work of his I have ever seen.

This play is running from October 5th to November 11th and if you're planning on going, you'd better hurry and get tickets; seats are limited!

Overall, as you may have guessed, I believe "The Woman in Black" was a one-of-a-kind suspense thriller and is definitely worth seeing. I give it five stars.

THE BANK ROBBERY There was once a man by the name of Ned Nedlehosen. He was a very small man and very shy. He was considered a loser in that dusty little town of Brando. He had never drawn his gun on anyone. No one had ever tried to shoot him because he was considered so helpless. Whenever he walked down the street everyone spat on his feet. Ned had always wanted to be important, but whatever he did ,people just laughed in his face.

One day when Ned was walking down the dusty western road, something caught his ear. He stood still for a second and looked around. No one was near him. He could have sworn he heard someone say, "$10,000 just for us". When he looked up he saw a small window. He got up on a barrel of hay and peered in. There he saw Butch, the meanest man in the whole town. He reminded Ned of a huge ,hairy, raging bull. He was the fastest draw in the west. Butch and his gang were planning to rob a bank in exactly 3 weeks (July 22). Ned had heard everything. Just as he was jumping down from the barrel of hay, Butch came barging out of the barn. "What are you doing listening to our conversation?" yelled Butch.

"I,I,I wasn't Butch. I promise." stammered Ned. "You had better watch your step you little shrimp." boomed Butch. Ned knew what that meant ; that was what Butch said to everyone before he shot them. As Butch and his gang walked away, Ned was glad the streets were busy, so he could nor be shot right then and there.

The next night he went to have his usual nightly drink at his favourite saloon. As he stepped inside he noticed it was rather quiet. Nobody was there except the bartender. Suddenly a bullet whizzzed by his ear and killed the bartender. Ned turned around to see Butch and his gang (all drunk) running out of the bar. He quickly went and picked up the gun that Butch had dropped and went to see if the bartender was still alive.

As he knelt over him, it was obvious that he was dead. Just then the police walked in. "I was almost .... they missed .... he is dead." Ned attempted to blurt out everything all at once. "Sure son" said the constable . The man took out his gun and told Ned to follow him. It was then rhar Ned clued in. He had been caught red-handed for someone else's crime.

As was common in those days he would be hung on his birthday, to be precise,July 23. What was he to do? He had to stop Butch but no one would believe anything he said. Ned spent four days sulking until he finally came up with a plan; he had to escape. Easier said than done of course. He had now decided that the bank's safety was in his own hands.

This helped his confidence and now he set his mind to escaping. By the 18th he had decided on his plan, bur of course he would only attempt it on the 22nd so he would not have to hide out for too long before stopping Burch. He was nor completely sure how he was going to, but he knew something would come to him.

G-rol\e. 2.

At 7:00 on July 22nd, Ned made his move. Just after the guard had made his regular five minute checks of the rooms, Ned shinnied up the wall.

When the guard came back, he could not see anyone. The guard quickly went into .the room and looked around; he could could see no one. He moved the bed a little to one side revealing a gaping hole. When he stuck his head down the hole, Ned who all this time had been clinging to a loose brick on the wall, hurled a stone with all his might at the man. The rock struck the guard in the back of the head knocking him unconscious. Ned quickly changed clothes with the man, lay the limp body in the bed and calmly walked out the door.

After Ned had escaped from the prison under the guise of a guard, he quickly made his way to the town bank. As he arrived, he heard screams coming from inside. Mter a bit of hesitation he dashed inside, tripped and rolled behind a stone pillar. The gang turned around to see nothing, so they went on loading the money into their sacks. Just then Ned jumped up and shouted, "Freeze right there Butch." Butch turned around slowly.

"Come on now Ned. We won't hurt you." snarled Butch as he walked slowly closer and closer to the barrel of Ned's gun. "One step closer and you're a dead duck," said Ned trying to sound brave. Butch kept on moving. Ned closed his eyes, shuddered and squeezed the trigger. The kick of the gun was so great that Ned was sent flying backwards. He hit his head on a table and was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up he was in a hospital bed. He could hear a crowd cheering outside his window, 11 Ned,Ned,Ned 11 • It turned out that Ned had saved the bank, killed Butch and now he was a hero. After the gang members had been caught, they admitted to killing the bartender and were sentenced to death. From that day to ·this, never has anyone ever said the name Ned Nedlehosen with a laugh.

A MOVIE IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

TAKE A LOOK, IT'S IN A BOOK

If you want to lead and not be led, pick up a book and fill your head, with ideas and knowledge, to help you get ahead.

Go on an underwater journey, with Captain Nemo and his crew, read about elves and hobbits, slay some dragons too.

For reading is a movie in the palm of your hand, you can read it in bed or while lying in the sand.

Nobody can stop you, from reading what you want, there are no restrictions, on what an author flaunts.

Read for knowledge or to improve your skills, you can read just for fun, or to learn how to cure your ills, for reading's a cure in itself, for boredom, that is.

Reading, Reading when I'm at home reading a book lets my imagination roam.

JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

I woke up as I felt the car slow down . I tl10ught we were tl1ere, but we still had a long ride ahead of us. We were only on a small street in Hungary. My brotller, my motl1er, my fatl1er and I were escaping to West Germany. It was right after tl1e war and we were stuck in tl1e east side of Germany witl10ut any freedom ...

By night we were in Austria. We stopped at a small inn. The owner helped people escape to West Germany. He showed us a small trap door at tl1e top of tl1e closet where we could hide if tlle police came. We put our bags up tllere in case. That night when we were asleep, we heard a knock at tlle door. It was tlle owner. The police were downstairs looking in each room to make sure tllat no one from East Germany was tllere. We quickly made tlle beds and turned off tl1e lights so it looked like no one had been tl1ere. We climbed up into tlle secret room just in time before tlle police checked ...

We had to leave tllat night. If everytlling went okay we would make it to West Germany by tlle next afternoon.

The whole drive we were all tense. By four o'clock we had passed U1e border! We rested at a friend's house and got our passports in a few days.

A few weeks later tl1e police came and asked for some identification. We showed him our passports and were left alone.

ESCAPE Hitler's power was growing and growing. It was 1938 and Rebecca Levine knew she had to get away fast, but how?

The anti-semitism started with some wise cracks and restrictions but Rebecca knew better. There was heated tension between Hitler's ways and t11e awkward treatment of tlie Jews. This meant t11e possiblity of war. Rebecca had friends in New York who offered hospitality. She had to get t11ere but t11e Nazis were all over. For t11e past month she had investigated escape. The barriers were hard to pass; detectives watched for people wit11 luggage, kept track of Jews (a group of detectives watched a certain area) and soon Jews would have to wear tlle Star of David on all t11eir clot!Ies. Rebecca decided t11e only option was to leave, quickly ...

She pedalled away from her home at Freiburg. Unbeknown to her, her two Nazi associates, Petre and Yorg, would soon realize her absence ...

Rebecca cycled along humming a hopeful tune. When she approached t11e train station, she stashed her bike in the tall grass. She crawled to t11e back of t11e station and t11en circled t11e building to try to slip into the plan. She bought a ticket for a town near t11e French-Gem1an border.

Rebecca was sitting in a coach comfortably when Pelre and Yorg entered. For a moment she was hypnotized.

Bot11 of these men were slrangely fruniliar. Their searching eyes immediately titled tllem Nazis. Rebecca got off at t11e next station after seeing swastikas embroidered on their unifonns. Rebecca now had to trudge tllrough ti1e grassy meadows for miles to tile border...

The guards were at attention and tile border was barred as she crune into view ...

Shots were fired in all directions. The bangs rang in t11e air. She ran as fast as she could. Dust flew in her eyes, stinging ti1em. Her feed pounded tile pavement wit11 tile bullets making an unusual rhyti1m. At last she was out of reach. All she needed was French protection before the Nazis found her again.

The cool sea breeze filtered around her as she pulled her shawl tighter. It seemed like a dream. She was out of Gennany and on her way to tJ1e freedom of New York.

By Jessica IIabcr Grade 7

LOOKING FOR FREEDOM It was another hot sunny day at U1e slave camp. Fimi, one of U1e many slaves, U10ught to herself, "Not another hot day!". The intense beat was making her feel very weak in addition to the many beatings which she had already suffered.

Fimi, her brother Ary, and her friend Ashlyn, had been planning for months to escape from the slave camp. They bad decided that if U1ey got caught trying to escape and ended up dead, that it would be worth it. They just couldn't continue U1e abuse at the slave camp. DeaU1 could also be their freedom. They knew that they must make their attempt to escape on a foggy night because the fog was usually so thick that you could not see past your nose ...

Finally there was a rainy day. It was one of the longest days they had experienced waiting for the time to pass.

At twelve midnight sharp, U1ey all met wiU1 U1eir lanterns. On U1e count of Uuee they all ran at once and headed towards U1e main gate ...

The next morning, Fimi, Ary and Ashyln woke up to U1e sound of a white man pointing a gun at them saying, "Who are you people and what are you doing here?'' Because it had been so foggy the night before, the three did not know that they had fallen asleep next to a dirt road. The three hesitated to tell their story, but Fimi in the end had decided to tell U1is man U1e truU1 . This kind man felt very sorry for coloured people because be did not agree with the slave camps. He told U1em to get into U1e back of his wagon and to cover U1emselves up with hay. He said that he would take U1em to this house where he had heard people would help slaves escape ...

When they arrived at U1eir destination, U1ey were greeted by several people who quickly rushed them into the house. They said goodbye to U1e kind man and told him U1at they would never forget him. They were given plenty of food and water and U1en put into a very dark room in U1e basement. There was a trap door and U1e only light came from a flickering candle. They had anoU1er meal in the basement and fell asleep. They were exhausted.

The people who were helping told them Umt it was a ten mile walk to U1e river and that U1ere would be a boat waiting for U1em. Once U1ey got on the boat U1ey would be on U1eir way to freedom. They were given a small map and told to be very quiet and talk to nobody.

They began their walk knowing Umt freedom was only ten miles away ...

A WINTER NIGHT The winter night was cold and thin, Under my covers I crawled deep within.

Through the leafless trees, Howled the wind.

The cold and chill crept up my back, All through the empty house.

Then as if I were going away, A deep slumber I fell in.

by Sarah Dimick Grade 6

UNDER THE SEA The sea was clear and the sun shone brightly through the two thousand miles of ocean. I swam through the hole in the clear glass bubble. With the air pack on my back I swam through reeds of green, blue and yellow. I watched the coral animals swim into their tiny homes. The ocean was quiet today. I went into the cave and checked for incoming oil. The last time there was a forest fire on the surface the ocean oil caught; that's why checking is mandatory. The rocky entrance of the cave was a beautiful purple-blue stone. I stood under it wondering. "Beep, beep." I stared knowingly at my watch. Time to go back for more air.

When I arrived at the clear glass I stopped, glanced up, then quickly looked and swam through the hole. The survivors all lived here. There were thirty of us all living under the sea. On the surface there lived ... nothing, nothing at all. We had almost completely destroyed ourselves.

I climbed up the spiral stairs to our beautiful . house. I opened the door, walked in and got my purple airpack from my oddly shaped bedroom and left.

Once I was back through the hole I swam through the green-blue water to the dolphin pool.

Flip was there with all his buddies. His blue-grey skin shone more brightly than the others in the pale green light. His shape was magnificently streamlined and so perfect. I made a shrill sound on my whistle and he glided swifly toward me in perfect bliss as we swam together under the sea.

READING When you pick up a book it's like you took a trip to the sky, With all the ideas that float around and soar so very high.

A closed book is like a sleeping bird; no songs or voice that sings.

But as you read the bird wakes up and opens its wings.

You'll never know what's behind a cover or where the story can lead.

So open a book and find out by simply beginning to read.

THE UNDERGROUND SEA I woke up and quickly looked around. I didn't recognise anything except for the colour of the water and the hard black rocks. I strained my eyes as far north as possible until I saw the magnificent purple of the seaweed, then I started kicking my webbed feet as fast as I could through the light red water until the towering plant. Then I sat down on one of the orangey, yellow sponges and looked around at my beautiful sea with its soft grey sand that lay at the bottom, the sponge that covered the ground and the occasional coral reef. I thought to myself, if only the rest of the people on Earth could come down and live under the surface with me.

by Jesse Gunderson Grade 6

THE TREND Reading is so much fun, I think it is number one.

When you read the chapters you will find, That you have a happy state of mind.

Paragraphs, sentences and words too.

In the books you will find something new.

If you're bored of radio waves, Books will bring you a whole new craze!

In the pages of a book, You will find a different look.

A YEAR OF TRIALS It is 1857. Drought has spread all throughout the prairies and many have already starved. I am Mr. Morgan, the father of the Morgan household. My wife and child are sick with typhus.

Horror spreads through the small, Mennnonite village of Edenwood. Mr. Remple, the village doctor, walks in. "Where are the sick ones?" he asks in a soft, dry voice.

I weakly point towards the living room with my blistered, work-worn hands. I look in the mirror, to see my drooping face, filthy with dirt and scarred with blisters. I can feel my throat start to dehydrate and my hands start to swell up. There has not been rain for nine and a half straight, long weeks and things are getting worse by the minute.

Three weeks later there is great rejoicing as the first drops of rain in twelve weeks begin to fall to the ground. I walk outside of the old homestead and start milking the suffering cows. Uncle Jacob starts to pull out the farming tools to plough the fields. After I'm done with the cows I right away start cleaning out the barn, and after that chop firewood for the long winter nights ahead. After this exhausting day, I feel drops of sweat fall from my hair and run down my cheeks as if it were raining. It had been a miracle that mother had recovered from the dreaded disease, typhus, so quickly, but Monique at only four years of age is still very ill. That night at dinner, for the first time in weeks, I read from the bible in a strong, clear voice; Gospel 328. Mother brought a nice, steaming bowl of borscht up to Monique who is lying sickly in bed.

I wake up the next morning at 5:00 a.m.; it is Sunday. We all, not including Monique, dress in our Sunday clothes and go to church. Father Schmidt gives a warm welcoming to everyone as he opens the church doors at 7:00 a.m. We take our places in the wonderful building, take our hats off, and start the mass by saying, "Our Father Who Art in Heaven." At 1:30 p.m. we gracefully walk out of the elegant building. Rain is falling and the streets are muddy. Uncle Jacob, who had stayed back to take care of Monique, opens the door and let us in.

Five weeks later it is December 19th. I decide to go into the small town of Potavaka to get Monique a Christmas present. I pick out a porcelain doll imported from Germany from a store named, "Gifts and Toys from around the World." On the 24th of December there is great rejoicing in church. Monique has almost recovered and it is just about Christmas day. It is 6:00 a.m. the next morning when Monique rushs into our bedroom shouting, "Father, Father, I'm better. It's Christmas and look what I got!" Between her hands lies the porcelain doll and a wide smile crosses over her face; the smile I have not seen since the days before the drought.

THE RAILWAY "Kaboom." The explosion resounded through the mountains. The small railway car shook as rubble struck it.

"Ready for another blast?" Bunsai yelled from the edge of the gorge.

"All right," said Fester Pratelli, the boss. The small team was building the railway in the Western Mountains of Canada. Bunsai Orthisaki was a poor Japanese immigrant working on the job. Jacob Dernovich, the runner, sped up the mountain with lightning speed and handed Bunsai a small cup with a glued rim and wire hanging out.

"Ai," said Bunsai in Japanese. After a small trek across the gorge to the spot where Fester commanded, Bunsai put the cup down between two rocks. Bunsai retreated, then yelled, "ClearP' and a brilliant flash lit up. Rubble sprayed everywhere and Bunsai stood up. His thin eyes widened when he saw a massive boulder roll towards the gorge. It stopped and he relaxed.

He told Fester about the rock and Fester moved the sleeping carts. Affter bumping his head on the way into the sleeping cart, Bunsai took a nap, for he was exhausted. An hour passed and the boulder slid farther. Suddenly, the huge mass of rock along with two small boulders, tipped over the side of the gorge and began rolling on a slanted slab of rock. The boulder hit the cart and smashed one wall in. It broke four of Bunsai's ribs and fractured his skull. On the way to the docks, he knew he would die so he said a prayer, and went to sleep. He never woke up.

THROUGH TIME Creak, creak, creak. I walked down the street with my cane balancing my stiff legs. My white hair was swaying in the cold, bitter wind. Slowly, but surely, I managed to make it home. The first thing I did when I was home was rest my sore feet on the couch. When my feet felt better I walked slowly to the kitchen and took out the pills I was supposed to swallow. I took out a glass of water and with difficulty picked the pills up with my shaking hand and dropped them in the cold water. I held the glass in my hand and brought it over to the wooden table next to the sofa. I lay down and slowly swallowed the water. Suddenly the pill got stuck in my throat. It was a horrible feeling. My eyes became burning red and I choked and choked on the pill for painful seconds. A wave of terror went through me as it blocked my air passage and ... and I ended up in a new strange world. There was a long strange mirror in front of me and I walked towards it. Then horror reached my eyes; I was an alien. My body was covered with slime from head to toe. My eyes were ghostly. No matter how ugly I looked I had to face my life as an alien in a new exciting world.

GATES OF CIBORNIA It floated through space like a moving crumb on a piece of paper, its white wings madly flapping in a non-existent pattern. Suddenly, it soared through the air at faster than light speed, aimed its beak downward and made a swooping dive. It was now in sight as I watched it through my infrared, long-distance binoculars. I put out my arm and within seconds the robot bird flew down and perched itself comfortably on my elbow. I live on the planet Cibornia, located in the fourth galaxy of sector 5-Hl. The temperature is below freezing; very different from the three sectors away planet of Earth. My home, a kingdom seven stories high, is built of pure ice. It has giant towers and large, rounded, hollowed out rooms.

On the icy horizon I can see Snowball Mountain, the tallest structure on the planet, standing 42,100 feet high. There are only two ways to get to the top of this white mound. Off to the east lies Ocean Ice. Through the mist I can just make our the tremendous, white waves smashing up against the crystal rocks.

Though Cibornia is hollow no one dare go down in the unhumanized sphere for the climate rises from below zero to 500 degrees farenheit. On the surface of Cibornia there has never been seen, heard or smelt any vegetation or wildlife. On the contrary, down inside Cibornia trees 450 feet high grow and animals of all sizes and shapes scurry around in their own beautiful world.

Mountains of green grass grow chick and high and valleys full of wheat surround the borders of this lovely planet within a planet. Oceans laden with fish lie beneath the crust separating Cibornia from the beautiful world. The seven people of our planet are always enveloped by a wonderful smell of honey and flowers which makes its way through the thick layer of ice separating the inner world from the almost deserted surface of Cibornia. Will a device ever be invented allowing the upper people to go down into the underworld full of food flourishing with wildlife, without being burnt up?

THE UNKNOWN CHILD Space, it is huge, wide and easy co gee lose in. When you are a baby not even a year old yet, it makes it even worse. No-one knows how chis baby entered chis never ending area. All we know is chat one day a shooting scar like a lightning bole came and picked up chis baby chat was floating around. It cook the baby and dropped it off on an unknown planet no scientist had found before. Scientists think that the furball, or what ever you wane co call it, kept the child alive.

Like a sheep-dog, the animal had a huge black and white head, four legs and a tail and was very hairy. But that is where the similarities ended. For this animal was as tall as a gorilla; about six feet.

One day, scientists were just casually driving by in a spaceship when they spotted two creatures moving on a planet. The scientists radioed the Earth and told them they were going to investigate. Once they had landed, they picked up the child with a struggle and strapped her onto the ship.

There was a great commotion back on planet Earth for something like this had never happened before the year 3050. When they had finally landed on Earth, the child's face started turning blue. The scientists began to panic and brought her to a doctor in the lab. The doctor said that the girl would have to be returned to her planet and could not be kept on Earth for more than an hour. As soon as the ship was ready, the scientists took the girl back co her planet and never returned again.

SEA WORLD Deep down under the sea there was a world secluded from the world above. It was a like a colony of clear bubbles on the ocean floor. The only difference from being clear bubbles was that the fish could not see inside, but the sea people could watch everything that was happening around them. There were only about five bubbles that housed about four people each.

Inside my bubble was everything char I ever wanted. There was a two-way television co the few people still up on the surface. The room was simple but very colourful. It was decorated with the pinkish-purple seaweed that had been carefully gathered by the robot arms on the outside of the bubble. My whole room was a pinky-purple with a bed of seaweed char I find most comfortable.

The lase room in my tiny bubble is the control room chat operates all the communication with the other sea people living in bubbles. This is important because the water is so polluted chat we can't leave our bubbles. This room also controls the communication to the surface and the radar of a coming submarine or a ship overhead. There was one other object chat could run this computer. It was my robot who is like my family. I call him "The Sea Guard". On the outside Sea Guard looks no different from you or I, but in the inside there is a compact computer char firs inside his head. He is able co use the control room most easily.

THE FINAL BATTLE Continual flashes of exploding pulsar missiles rocked my XV fighter ship as it shot through the space debris to battle. Our sleek black ship sped at warp speed as big enemy battle ships launched useless metal projectiles at the hard electro-sealed ship. Our ship flew over an alien planet below with large green and white swirls over it. Our ship slowly shifted into battle speed. Our gravity powered motor hummed softly and smoothly. My co-pilot targeted on a ship and fired. The ship exploded. Suddenly out of the depths of space came a huge immense ship bigger than my co-pilot or I had ever seen. It sene ouc a projectile that exploded and lit up the whole area around us. Our motor seized and our ship was burning. What had hit us?

Slowly our ship drifted closer to the alien planet. On entry through the foggy atmosphere, our ship burnt even more and sent us rocketing down co the surface. My co-pilot and I frantically struggled to keep the nose of the ship up. The visibility was so bad that nothing could be seen.

For one whole minute all we could hear was our extinguishers at work. With a sudden deafening crash our ship began to skid on the alien surface. Our ship twisted and bent on contact with the solid, jagged surface. Sparks flew up and pares of our ship core off. Our ship ditched into something and began to flood with alien liquid. I roused my co-pilot just to find a red streak soaking through his hair. He was dead. The escape hatch was jambed. As the battle raged on above me, I kicked out the front view port and liquid flooded in. I relaxed in my seat and waited to die.

BATNIGHT! Swift like the night, the batmobile's sleek titanium cover glistens in the moonlight. Its rocket boosters roar as a lion would. Speeding through the streets searching, hungry, seeking out crime and evil wherever it may be found. The batmobile accelerates as it turns the corner like a wolf sniffing nearby prey. A predator to all evil, the batmobile accelerates down an endless road towards the moonlight. Now only a glisten of flame from the booster can be seen as the sleek and slender batmobile speeds off towards the bat cave.

The roar declined in volume till nothing could be heard. The squeaking sound of the bats is all around and almost deafening. The batmobile's cockpit slides off with a quiet buzzing noise. Two black points and a black mask is all that is in view. Slowly, a man dressed in black clambers out.

His titanium chest wields a symbol; a bat symbol. The batman walks into a darkened cave on ly to be seen when evil arises again.

PLANET DEADLUS The small escape pod from the star cruiser Tharoda streaked white across the sky. The pod landed with a mighty thump on the barren sands of the desert planet closest to the large, hot, red-yellow F-X 16 Star. The melting bottom of the pod sagged under the intense heat of the pod coming through the thick atmosphere. There was a small crackle, as the metal hardened. The computer automatically started to depressurize the sleeping passenger. The anti-UVR shield slowly slid back to show a young officer just waking up from warp speed-deep sleep. As he looked around he noticed the blinking computer screen read: "Planet: Deadlus. Class: F planet. Diameter: 788 km. Known life forms: palm trees, lake, oases. Poles ... " Then the computer shut down and transferred to solar power. The man typed. "Transfer all energy to ground skimmer." The ground skimmer was a round flat object with a seat and an elevated dash board at the front. It had the diameter of about a meter. The skimmer came out of a sliding door on the bottom of the pod. It hummed and hovered over the surface of the planet.

The man set the computer for distress call. He looked around and then climbed in to the skimmer and headed toward the north. He knew he would make it because the skimmer was solar powered and on this planet there is never any night.

ERICA'S ISLAND Once my family and I went co a beach for the weekend. But when we got there, it was coo lace to go swimming so in the morning we all went swimming at the beach. I was the first one in. We were all having a good time! All of a sudden I started to float away. I drifted for about an hour when a towel fell out of the sky ( I was so glad to get it ). Another hour went by but nothing happened. Then all of a sudden I stopped. I had landed on an island. I got off the raft. I pulled it in and tied it to a tree.

I started co walk when I came co an old abandoned hut; I went in. There was a bed, an old stove and a little cupboard. I went over to it and opened it and a lot of food fell out. I decided to live there until I could get back to my family. I cleaned up the hut and ate some bread from the cupboard and went co bed.

In the morning I got up early and made some breakfast. Mcer breakfast I went out for a walk. When I saw a rabbit that looked as if it was hurt, I went over co it and picked it up and cook the rabbit home. I fed it some food and then put it in my bed. After a few days the rabbit was better. I went to lee it go but he wouldn't so I decided to keep him. I gave him a name; I called him Whiskers.

It was getting late so we ace and went to bed. In the morning we went out for a walk but I was getting cold. Mter a while we came across some old cloches so I tried them on; they just fie. It was a nice pair of black pants and a red shirt. On the way home I saw some bamboo. I cook as much as I could and went home and I started to build a raft. I worked for days and days, weeks and weeks, but I could not build one!

Finally one day a boat came on the island so I got on and I took Whiskers with me. When we got there, we went looking for my family swimming in the lake. I went and my family was glad to see me and I was glad to see them.

THE UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS After Christmas dinner when my sister was playing on the computer, I was checking out my new SWISS ARMY KNIFE. I was looking at the big blade, then I cut myself trying to close it. I ran in the kitchen yelling, "I CUT MYSELF !" So my dad and my mom and I went to Sunnybrook Hospital. We waited five minutes in a little room. Finally the doctor came. She looked at it and said, "We'll have to put stitches in." She put in two needles but she had to put a third one in because two did not have enough numb in it. The third one killed. Two doctors came because I was yelling so loud. They asked, "Is everything all right?" The stitches didn't hurt because of all the numb. We were just in time for our Christmas company. Today January 2nd, 1991 I went to my real doctor to get my stitches out. We waited ten minutes. He said my stitches were ready to come out. He used a special pair of scissors and pliers. IT DID NOT HURT!

THE ISLAND I was going on a cruise with my friends to an island called 11 Island of the Blue Dolphins11 â&#x20AC;˘ Well, we were going to stay for a day but when night fell I left my knap-sac in the cabin so I went back to get it. When I came back the boat was gone; it had left without me!

What was I going to do? Well the first thing that I did was run back to the cabin and ... well, I read the safety survival kit and by the time I was done I was tired. The next day I was going to build a hut! The day wasn't so bad. All I did was gather food such as berries, pomegranates, and wild mushrooms. But I was getting tired of fruit and mushrooms. I was going to have fish!

For the next few days I found some hard materials on the beach such as whales' ribs, sea elephants teeth and long pieces of wood. After I built a little hut of my own. I made a spear out of wood and sea elephant's teeth. Then I went hunting. That day I killed five foxes, two birds and a giant devilfish.

After that I felt a little homesick. I spent three more days on the island. Then one day while I was swimming, I saw the police search party boat and they rescued me. I still go to the island.

THE LITTLE CATERPILLER Once there was a mother butterfly; she had just finished laying her eggs. So she spread her wings and flew away. In two weeks time all of the eggs had hatched. The smallest of the carerpillers was called Matt. Matt had a friend called Pat. Pat was a mouse. You couldn't really call Par a friend because all he did was criticize Mart. Day after day Matt would talk about what he would look like when he was a butterfly and all Pat would say was, "you'll never be a butterfly you wait and see." As days went by Matt started to believe Pat because all of his brothers and sisters were already beautiful butterflies and Matt was not even in the pupa stage yet! Matt decided to go on a trip and find his mother and ask her why he had not changed. So the next morning Mart set off to find his mother. Finally he found his mother and asked her why he was not changing. Then she told him a story about how she was just like him and he just had to be patient.

WHAT IF? My inventor is Leonardo Da Vinci. Some 10,000 drawings from Leonardo's many sketches are all over the world museums. On April 15th, 1452, Leonardo Da Vinci was born. At age 17, Leonardo Da Vinci was a brilliant thinking youth. Leonardo was a painter, sculptor, inventor, writer and a lot more but I can't fit any more in. No other picture can compare to the Mona Lisa.

Leonardo was the only painter who was interested in many different things other than painting and sculpting. The Mona Lisa was a picture of his best friend's wife. He would have painted a picture of his wife but he didn't have one. Leonardo was the first painter that used mathematical proportions and strength of a pyramid. I hope you enjoyed learning about Leonardo Da Vinci.

Before this apprenticeship ended , Lorenzo de Medici, the ruler of Florence, became interested in the boy. He was brought to Lorenzo's palace and studied under the greatest artists of his day. Lorenzo died in 1492.

MACKENZIE DISAGREES John Strachan and the Family Compact think they should run the country because they are rich and they own all the land. Mackenzie disagrees. He feels that everyone (poor or rich) should have some say in the way the country should be run. Read more about Mackenzie and his feelings and ideas in his newspapers--The Colonial Advocate and The Weekly Message.

Tnere was a witch That fell in a ditch.

There was a punk That ate a tree trunk.

There was a ghost That loved me the most.

There was a cat That ate a rat.

And sat on my animal mat How's that?

Dear Champlain, I have arrived! The land is beautiful. The trees are pretty because they are so green and the lake is beautiful because it is so blue. In the night, the moon shines on the trees and the water. I'm surrounded by nature. There are a lot of bees and flies.

I am living with the Indians in a longhouse- the longhouse is very smokey. We travel in canoes.

We eat really good food like corn, onions and potatoes because the Indians grow these foods.

We also hunt deer, rabbit and fox for food and their fur.

I really think you should come to this new land. The Indians are nice--they treat me like a king .

One day some enemies came so we had to canoe down the river to the lake.

I love it here. The women pick berries, wash clothes in the lake water and the water is so clear we all drink it.

I GOT MY FIRST THREE NEW FISH One day I had enough money to buy two new fish. I went to my Mom's shoe store and asked ifi could get two new fish. She said "Yes".

When my Mom and Dad came home, my Dad took me to the pet store and my sister came too. I got a gray fish and a gold fish. My sister let me use her old fish tank and I got a plant and some shells.

The next day came and I asked if I could get one more fish. They said "Yes" and we went to get my new fish. I had two fish already and I got one more.

When I fed them, one died. I flushed it down the toilet. The next day my other one died. I scooped it out with a doll's shoe and then flushed it down the toilet.

I had one left. I hope that one won't die.

Dear Grandmother, Thankyou for the interview I had with you. I decided to write you a letter. Not one single person interviewed by our class said that they had a television. Only some people said that they had electricity. They didn't have the same choice of food and they didn't have any junk food. Most people had radios; some people had none. People heated their house with either coal or wood.

OUR TRIP TO HUMBER Today our class went to Humber Arboretum. We had the same guides as last time. Their names were Beruta and Christine.

First we talked about snowshoes. We learned that there were different kinds of snowshoes. One kind of snowshoes is for walking on hills. The bearpaws are shaped round and are used for walking through the woods without bumping into anything. The Indians invented snowshoes by copying the shape of a rabbit's foot. When rabbits walk in snow, they do not sink into the snow.

Snowshoes are made of caribou skin and the frame is made of wood.

We went snowshoeing and it was a lot of fun. We played Owls and Snowshoe Hares. We jogged with our snowshoes on without losing our balance. Snowshoeing was not easy!

After that, we had lunch. Mter lunch, Beruta talked about different kinds of birds. The owl is the most interesting kind of bird. Their ears are on different levels on both sides of the head.

They eat frogs, rabbits, snakes, mice and other owls. They have discs around their eyes for sensing sound. Their jaw is flexible. That is why they can swallow large animals. They spit out fir, feathers and bones. I learned a lot and I enjoyed the trip even though it was a wet day.

\ MYUFESTORY When I was a baby I saw people looking at me. I said to myself I wish I were ten years older.

Then I was three. Now that was great. I could talk. I could say, "Hi", "Bye", "Mama", and "Dada". It was wonderful. Then I was four. Now I could walk, yell, run, and scream. Best of all, I could jump on the beds.

But five was the best! I could understand T.V. But the worst of all was kindergarten. I survived. Six. Grade one. Hard work. Homework. Seven. Terrific. Grade two. Lunch.

Soccer. Snow forts.

A DAY AT ENOCH TURNER SCHOOLHOUSE Today, as soon as I got to school, Mrs. Henderson was just about to do a check for being clean. I quickly sat in my spot. She inspected everybody and, finally, she got to Tom Kond! She looked at him. "Did you wash your face, hands and behind your ears today?" asked Mrs. Henderson.

"No," said Tom, in a small voice.

"No?" said Mrs. Henderson. "Go right now and stand in front of the dish, standing on one foot, and I will tie your hands behind your back. That will remind you always to be clean!" And that was the end of that!

After, we read the story called The Boy and the Nuts. We had to say this saying about seven times! "Do not grasp at too much or you will lose all." Then we did the letters A, B, C, D in writing, and after that, we all had to have a word to start with each letter. We also had to write the date on our slate board: November 7, 1848, I also wrote Mrs. Henderson's name by mistake and, all of a sudden, Mrs. Henderson said, "Do Not Write My Name! I Never Asked You To!" The girls have to wear a white pinafore to keep clean and the boys have to wear a white collar.

After school, I go home and take care of my little sister.

Once upon a time there was a boy who saw a movie about germs. The germs were strong and powerful. They battled each other and when they got into someone's food they tried to battle the eater's body. Sometimes they won and made the person sick and sometimes they lost.

After seeing this movie and realizing the terrible fact that germs were everywhere the boy became afraid of germs. He imagined that germs were on everything and would make him sick.

When his mother gave him an apple he screamed, "I CAN'T EAT THIS. YOU TOUCHED IT!" When his sister did not finish some food on her plate and the boy was still hungry he would not eat the food just in case his sister had touched it. "I CAN'T EAT THIS. YOU TOUCHED IT!" Pretty soon the boy was getting hungrier and hungrier. He imagined that the germs would always win, and he was afraid. Soon the boy could not eat any food that anyone had touched.

He got terribly sick because he was so weak.

His parents were very worried and called the Doctor. The Doctor said, "You silly boy. Just because someone touched your food doesn't mean your food has 6 billion germs on it. Anyway your immune system usually wins. Don't be so paranoid about germs. Wash your hands before you eat. Use a knife and fork. Bur if you have to use your hands don't be afraid. You won't die from a couple of germs, but you will die if you don't eat."

THE SILLY KING Once upon a time there was a very silly king who ruled the kingdom of Saltzburg. The King's name was Charles. He always answered his own questions in his own mind.

Once he asked himself, "Why do people have ears?" He answered that by himself and said that people have ears to hold up their hats or in his case, his crown. If anyone tried to correct him, that person would be killed.

One morning he was walking around his garden looking for his slippers when he stepped on his toe. "Ouch!" he said and looked down at his toe. His toe was all red. So he asked himself, "Why did I step on my toe?"

Then he said, "If the people walk on their hands then they will not step on their feet . So I will order that everyone will walk on their hands from now on."

So he asked his messenger to go to the town and tell everyone that from now on everyone will walk on their hands. So the messenger went to town and told everyone that they had to stand on their hands.

Day after day everyone walked around on their hands. They tried to get around their usual ways but they couldn't because they were standing on their hands.

One day the town council got together and said, "This cannot happen any longer. We shall protest even for our lives!"

So the next day they all went to protest in front of the castle. The King saw it and asked his advisor what was going on. The advisor said, "The people are protesting because they do not want to stand on their hands any more."

Then the King realized how foolish he was and he ordered that everyone could stand on their feet again and everyone was happy.

THE ONION AND THE BEET On Nov. 9, 1849, a farmer forgot to pick an Onion and a Beet. The Onion said to the Beet, "That stupid farmer forgot to pick us."

The Beet said, "I'm sure he will see us."

Weeks went by and neither the Onion nor the Beet was picked.

One day the Beet said, "Maybe it will snow," and it did. Just then, the farmer saw the Beet, and he ran outside and picked him. The Beet was very happy but the Onion was trying not to cry.

He was sad, all alone. He was so sad he did cry.

In the house, the Beet was on the front of the window sill. He was starting to get so hot he was sweating. Then he knew why the farmer could not see the Onion. He was so far away you would take 5012 cartwheels to get to him (In real life, it was only 912).

The Beet tried to get the farmer to see the Onion, but he just kept falling on the floor. Soon the Beet gave up. A day went by and the farmer turned the radio on and heard, "There is a tornado coming this way. Collect all your crops." The farmer ran to get his jacket and ran out the door.

Now the Beet and the Onion would be together. The Beet was so happy. The farmer came back in with the Onion and put him by the fire. The Onion was blue, but, under all that skin, there was a smile, he could tell.

THE THREE PIGS AND A BIG GIANT A long time ago in a far off land, there were three little pigs. Each of the little pigs lived in a separate house. One little pig lived in a stick house, another lived in a straw house, and the last little pig lived in a brick house. There was also a big bad giant who lived in a very ugly castle on top of the clouds.

One day the giant decided that he wanted to capture the pigs because they weren't giving him free land. So one day the giant goes to see an old but all-powerful wizard, who magically changes him into a pig. The giant thought that this was a perfect plan. The magic words to undo the spell were, "I am a pig no more."

The giant (now disguised as a pig) slid down a beanstalk that Jack forgot co cue down. He chen went into the forest to find the pigs. The giant came across one of the pigs' houses. It was made of straw. He told chis pig chat he knew where many treasures were. This pig was not interested.

They then went to the field where they found his brothers. The giant told the same story to them. They believed him. They chen went to the beanscalk. The three pigs looked up into the sky. They were very scared, but they were brave enough co climb the beanstalk.

Once they arrived at the top they all flopped over and laid down to rest. After about five minutes they got up and made their way to the castle co gee the treasure. Once inside the castle, the giant led them down about 50 stairs to where the dungeons were.

All the pigs saw a lot of treasure including gold, money, and silver. But they agreed to go after the new pig. The new pig agreed too. Once inside the dungeon the three little pigs closed the door. The giant was trapped. He got really upset and changed himself back by saying the magic spell.

The pigs were so scared that they ran out of the castle and slid down the beanscalk. They landed on Jack. They told Jack about what had happened and asked him to cut down the beanstalk.

Jack did as they asked. For the rest of their lives, the three little pigs lived in happiness, but as for the giant, he spent the rest of his life in his dungeon.

Dear Champlain, I have made it through my journey and I am here! I am surrounded by wilderness. There is sound everywhere. The birds, the wind and the trees all make sounds. They are sounds of nature.

I have met some tribes. They call themselves the Iroquois. They grow vegetables that are delicious and crunchy. I cannot explain the taste. Oh yes, and the trees are green here.

The Indians have a body of water called a lake - it is huge. They also live in something called a longhouse. It is huge and long. I myself think it is the best shelter because it has the sturdiest roof. It is made out of leaves and sticks. It is smokey and warm inside. I guess I can't tell you much more, but let me say one more word. The soil is dark and wet here too.

Well, good bye for now.

Re beccq Dear Champlain, The land is beautiful. There are loons swimming in the lakes. Chipmunks run ahead of me and pick acorns and squirrels climb up the trees. The crickets sound so peaceful at night. All the creatures live together in peace. The sunset over the trees in the forest is just beautiful.

The lake is clear and clean enough to drink. It is crowded with fish we can catch to eat. It is amazing how many creatures there are to hunt.

There is a lot of wood from the trees for making log houses.

The Indians are very kind and their life is very different. I have a good relationship with them. I am even learning their languages (they have over SO languages).

Their houses are marvellous--they are called longhouses. They have a lot of different ceremonies and celebrations.

The soil here is rich and very good for growing vegetables and other crops. This would be an amazing place to bring people to live; so come as soon as you can.

Signed, Etienne BrUle

THE NIGHTMARE Once upon a time there lived a king who had a son called Prince David. David was really interested in the horses that belonged to the king's army. Because David was young, he was told to stay away from the horses.

One day David was arguing with his father over the fact that he should not be allowed to ride the horses because serious consequences could occur. The king sent the boy up to his room to think about the consequences that could occur. While he was thinking he fell asleep. While he was sleeping he began to dream. He dreamed that recently a number of robberies had been occurring in the city by a man dressed in black. No one had a clue who this man was.

One night David was having lots of trouble sleeping. During that night David heard a knight entering the quarters with his horse. David thought the knight had been just returning from a stroll with his horse and didn't know the knight had just robbed a few stores. Fortunately for David the knight left the horses' quarters unlocked and his black suit in the quarters. So David decided that he should take the horse for a stroll.

David, in excitement, put the knight's suit on not thinking that it resembled the one that was identified by the store keeper as the type of suit that the robber was wearing. David went on for his tour around the city with his horses. Suddenly all kinds of people began yelling and chasing after him saying, "He's the robber!" He was really scared and thought he might be killed by the people. All of a sudden he woke up and found out he was dreaming.

But he learned the consequences of doing something that you're not told to do. So he would not ride the horses until he was told he could.

Dear Champlain, I have arrived. The land is beautiful here - come on over! There are a lot of trees in the forest co use for making log houses and fires. There are fascinating sounds of nature like birds, crickets and other animals and water lapping against the shore. There is a huge lake that you can drink and you can fish for food in it. There are lots of animals co hunt, for instance, deer, rabbit and moose.

The Indians are kind co me. I am learning their language and they are teaching me co grow crops like pumpkins, rice and corn. They can store some of the food for the winter in the longhouse (the Indians live in longhouses). You can cell how many families live in a longhouse by the number of fires in the house.

I think you should come here and build a village with us.

PROBLEM We are the Native People of the woodlands. We are running out of food. It is terrible. We feel terrified. Our people are going hungry and we are cold. We do not have very many animal skins for clothing. The animals are running away because the animals do not want co be killed.

What can we do co survive?

Solution We are following the animals farther south where it's warmer on the land. We follow them until they stop. We will find a cave co sleep in for the night. In the morning we will go and hunt the animals for food and clothing so we will not starve or gee cold. We will have enough food and clothing until the animals move again. The animals may move again if they notice too many of their own animals being killed. So we will move again coo.

THE PLAIN PRINCESS There was once a princess who was very ordinary. She had brown hair that was very thin and never seemed to grow. She wore clothes like jeans and turtle necks that you would never imagine a princess wearing. Her mother was very beautiful. However, she was a big show-off.

Whenever she went out in her carriage everyone would stare and admire her. Noone paid any attention to the princess who was trailing behind. She even had a plain name. It was Pammy. She had four sisters. Their names were Celina, Crystal, Diamond and Jade. She also had two brothers. Their names were Charles and Matthew.

Even though Princess Pam was so boring she did have one talent. She loved to sing. She would often sit in the huge garden on the palace and sing to all the animals. One day a prince was taking a walk and he heard the beautiful voice of Pammy singing. He followed the sound of the voice until he reached the princess. He thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he asked her to marry him. Several months later they had a beautiful baby. They named her Katherine.

THE MAGIC CARPET One afternoon a little boy named Rob came home from school and saw his dog Oscar sitting on the front hall carpet. He came to sit down beside Oscar and said, "Oh, boy, Oscar. Today I got a lot of homework. I wish I were somewhere where I could play and I didn't have to do homework."

All of a sudden the front hall carpet lifted off the floor. The dog barked. The carpet floated through the front door and soared up into the clouds and stopped with a halt. In front of them stood a big, fire-breathing dragon.

"Hello," said the dragon.

"H-H-H-Hello," replied Rob. "My name is Rupert," said the dragon, "What's yours?"

"Rob, and this is my dog Oscar."

Rob had many questions to ask Rupert about where Rob and his dog were and how they got there. Rob and Rupert discovered these matters over tea in Rupert's cave. It turned out that the carpet that they flew into the clouds on was a magical carpet. Rob had wished to be somewhere where he didn't have to do homework and his wish had come true.

Rob was excited at first but he missed his mom so he wanted to go home. The only way to get home was in a magic bubble. That bubble was in the evil witch's castle. That night Rupert, Oscar, and Rob snuck into the witch's castle and stole the bubble while she was asleep. Rupert gave Rob a necklace to remember him by when Rob left with Oscar in the bubble the next day.

The bubble floated down to the ground and hit it with a thump!

All of a sudden Rob found himself in bed. It was all a dream! Then Rob found around his neck the friendship necklace that Rupert gave him.

THE EVIL WIZARD Once upon a time there was a royal family. The princess was walking in the woods picking berries. A dragon came out of nowhere and took the princess away. She started screaming but no one could hear her.

She was taken back to the evil wizard's castle. The princess was very lonely and frightened. She missed her kingdom and her family. On the other hand, the king and his kingdom were depressed and wanted her back.

A few days later the king got a visitor to his kingdom. It was the messenger of the evil wizard who came. He gave the king the evil wizard's demands in a ransom note. The messenger immediately left. The king sent a knight to follow the messenger.

Several days later the knight hasn't arrived. The king thinks that the knight has been captured by the evil wizard. He immediately tells all his soldiers and knights to prepare for a battle. They leave right away. It takes 10 days to spot the evil wizard's castle. They plan the strategy on the way that they are going to attack.

The king goes up the tree and tries to locate the princess. Just as the king locates her he realizes that the evil wizard's army is getting ready to attack. He set his men up. As they come bursting our, they were shot.

The king goes inside the castle and tries to get the princess. He has a sword fight with the evil wizard and he wounds him. He takes the princess with him and realizes that the evil wizard's army is all dead. The king takes the evil wizard to his castle and puts him in the dungeon. The kingdom was so happy that the princess returned and peace and harmony fled through their kingdom, and they lived happily ever after.

GOING TO THE DENTIST Yesterday I went to the dentist to get my teeth pulled out. One of them I had taken out with my tongue because it was really loose.

The dentist pulled out four. It took only one minute to pull them out. He froze my mouth before he did it. My teeth had big roots.

I was scared when we got there because I thought he might really hurt me. Bur he did not. The only part that hurt me was when he put the needle in my gum to freeze it. The dentist's name is Terry.

When my Dad and I went home I could not talk because of the freezing. I threw up and my mouth was bleeding because the freezing was coming out. I could not eat because I could not open my mouth.

PROBLEM We are the Eagle band. We have 300 people. We are crossing the Bering Land Bridge and we are almost to the new land. But there are very big mountains in our way. How will we get across to hunt the animals? We do not have the right clothes for the climate in the new land.

We only have clothes made of thin skins. What can we do? It is very hard to walk in the snow and it is deep. What will we do?

By Laurence Payne, Elizabeth McNeely, Michael Young and Kirsti Graham Grade 2

Solution We have found paths through the mountains. We found the big animals over the mountains.

We have now got skins to make moccasins and bones to make snow shoes. We have killed two woolly mammoths which have enough skin to make clothes for 300 people. We have become used to the animals. We have learned how to kill them.

By Laurence, Elizabeth, Michael and Kirsti

PROBLEM We are walking and there is no shelter. Our cloches are all worn our and we are extremely cold.

We are the Beaver band and there are only twenty-five people. We are hunting the woolly mammoth and the sloth. It is winter time and there is a snow blizzard. What shall we do?

By Kim Elliott, Donald Summerville, Jeffrey Lang-Weir, and David Zarnett Grade 2

Solution We have just killed a woolly mammoth and we bring all the furs back co our wives to make cloches. We are going co build houses our of woolly mammoth bones and skins.

"--PROBLEM Our band has got a problem. We cannot find enough food to survive. There are ten people in our band. The animals that we hunt have skin so thick that our weapons and tools break. We use spears and scrapers made of bone. What can we do?

By Francis Shih, Beth St. Amand, Sarah Valient, and Stephen Srotter Grade 2 Solution We moved to another place to find more food. Our new place has a warmer climate so we pick berries and nuts. We have made some fishing poles out of bones. We have good tools that we made so we can go fishing and get some fish. We can survive this way for a long time.

L'automne Orange et noir Les bonbons, les costumes, les fantomes C'est fantastique!

L'Halloween par Tom Barrett Grade 5 GHOST NEXT DOOR As I approached the old wood house, I knew there was nothing to fear.

For even the darkness was friendly to me, And the creaking a good thing to hear.

Other people who live around, Only think that it could be haunted.

And now that I'm here for the thirteenth time, I'll prove to them that it is haunted.

For I am the ghost of the old wood bouse, And a friendly one I am, too.

But even a ghost likes to have fun, So maybe I'll bide and yell, "Boo!" The darkness whispers frightening things, But only to mortal beings.

For I am as courageous as a mountain lion, When it comes to phantom sightings.

I entered the bouse to find crackling old stairs, And a table with an ancient pot.

The couch was ripped and the leg was broken, But a ghost loves this house a lot.

I hear people talking about me and me alone.

"It's just imagination, so let it go!" they say.

But I'm here to haunt them day and night, So watch out mortals.

I shall now get ready to scare those ones, And make them never come back.

Practise my sneaking behind someone, And make them jump into a sack.

Here I go to the house next door, Looking like slimy goo.

Find the non-believing neighbour, Jump out from behind and yell, "Boo!"

By Pamela Royce Grade 7

HALLOWEEN STORY

We were sitting next to the fire and the wind was howling so loud that my son Johnny cuddled up next to me and begged to hear my famous Halloween story. As always, Johnny looked at me as if he has never heard my scory before, even though I must have told it about ten times by now.

I began. I was only 17 years old on this Halloween night when I reluctantly performed the dare my friends had challenged me to. I was to go to the Ursuline Museum and prevent the back window from closing by sticking wood underneath it. This would enable me co enter that evening where Montcalm's skull was displayed. They dared me to remove this skull from this room. The entering of the museum succeeded, as well as the stealing of Montcalm's skull.

I was all ready for Halloween night , dressed up as General Montcalm. A friend and I slowly climbed up the ladder until we reached the top of the roof. Not one person had passed us that we could scare. I had an idea.

My sister stayed at Universite Laval, in residence. I was sitting so uncomfortably on the ladder that I panicked and began to sweat. My grip loosened. Before I had time to think what to do,I threw the skull to my friend. Luckily he caught it. Then all of a sudden , I was sliding down the steep roof and landed in a pile of leaves which covered the hard bricks of Place Royale. I lifted my head looking for my friends, but all I could see was a fierce dog charging toward me. I ducked, but it didn't seem to help. I didn't feel any pain and happily the owner called his fierce dog away.

My friend climbed down the ladder as if something funny had happened. I began to laugh along but for no reason. My next daring act was at Universit~ Laval.

I was climbing the "S" hooks on the walls when all of a sudden I felt like I was on stage. I was holding the skull on a stick at my sister's window whan a beaming light shone into my eyes. All I could see were my friends standing next to a man dressed in a security uniform pointing a flashlight directly in my eyes. I was struck with embarrassment which is why I waited until the the crowd dispersed for me to go down. I stepped down on each hook hanging on as I finally reached the bottom where the security man was standing. I was forced to return the skull which I would have done anyway and voluntarily, I did some community work.

When I was finished , I noticed Johnny's head against my shoulder fast asleep. Would he dream my story again or maybe continue from where I left off?

MONTCALM"S SKULL The recent robbery of Montcalm 1s skull helped my chances of catching the anti-francophone, John Willy. Fortunately he was seen in the convent and a full description was given of him by the lady who saw him. This recent robbery added to the many French historic objects that he had stolen in the past six months since I had got on the case. I am Jared Green, with the Quebec police, and I am two months away from retirement. In the paper it said, "Six feet tall, brown short hair, dark eyes and stalwart." This was the description of the man given by the police. Along with this, a police sketch was given and a number to call if anyone saw him.

A young lady named Mary, called in at about 1:30 saying she had seen a man at about 1:10 walking up the "casse coup stairs", fitting the description in the newspaper. I arrived at the area where the man was seen.

As we searched the area around the "casse coup stairs 11 I saw a man dressed like Mary 1s description go out of the bar. He saw the police and ran up the "casse coup stairs". We followed him but his ride was waiting for him at the top and he escaped in a blue Oldsmobile. I got his license plate but it turned out to be a stolen car.

I was retired from the force two months later and it felt weird. I had so much free time and I spent most of it thinking about John. I always felt that retirement would be great but I was wrong. Not catching Johnny before I retired made me feel that I had an obligation to put him behind bars.

My trip to the police station made me feel better because I was doing something . Once I got there, I was overwhelmed. On a recent bust of Johnny 1s partner, Johnny 1s whereabouts was discovered. I felt if he got away I would always feel like I had something left to do in my life, so I took the matter in my own hands and went to his apartment. It was on the second floor of an old house in the Place Royale. I b~oke into his apartment and waited for him to return. As he opened the door, he saw me and ran out in a frenzy. Luckily the police were on his tail and were going up the stairs as he was going down them.

Johnny was caught and I felt that I had done my part. At first he refused to tell us where the objects were. But, a deal was made that the police would shorten his sentence if he told us. He said that he dumped them in the St. Lawrence in a wooden box. Divers went under and recovered the stolen items. They were returned to their rightful owners and from then on, I felt good about my retirement.

LES CHUTES DEVIL One stormy night in a small town in New France, the devil came out in his black suit and top hat, to name the waterfalls. He wanted to annoy St. Anne de Beaupre who was up in the heavens above the rain and mist, but he knew he could not go in the golden gates so he decided to get her out, but first to name the falls.

By the falls there was a priest dressed in the cloak and collar. Well, the devil walked right up to him and told him his proposed name for the falls. Once the priest heard that, he jumped up and ran all the way back to the church. Now the devil thought the falls were his, or were they? Just then St. Anne appeared, as if she sensed his purpose.

She said to the devil, "They will be named by me if until tomorrow night you say something bad about the Lord, but if you don't you will name the falls." The devil agreed and left eventually.

The next morning before sunrise they both were there with all the town's people waiting silently for the sun to rise. The two foes stood silently looking for the sun to appear.

When the morning was half over the devil started to annoy St. Anne but she sat there silently waiting for the day to end. Well, the devil got mad and almost swore but bit his tongue instead.

They served lunch and St. Anne started to pray. The devil muttered a few silent words and dug in. After an hour of eating St. Anne resumed her sitting position and again waited. The devil again tried to annoy St. Anne. She still ignored him.

By the end of the day the devil burst out swearing in frustration and the falls were named by St. Anne.

THE BLACK STREAK About 80 years ago, at 8:30p.m. one October night in 1913, a figure in black appeared on a ship in Qu~bec City harbour. It was dark out so no one could discriminate who or what it was. All they could see was a streak of black. Late one night, a man saw it climb the steep roof of the Ursuline Convent. The man with the wagon who had seen the streak of black was curious, so he brought his horse and wagon to a halt and carefully watched the convent. About fifteen minutes later, the obscure and unusual figure appeared again. This time it was mysteriously seen on the opposite side of the dirt road from the convent. The wagon-man, astonished and bewildered, continued on his way home, never taking his mind off the black streak. In the morning he would report this to the sherriff.

The next morning however, it turned out that by the time the man could give the sherriff the terrifying news, all of the police and townspeople were gathering around the front of the convent. The man pushed his way to the front of the crowd where the sherriff was looking for dues like a button or a ring. The chubby, bearded wagon man reported every detail of what he had seen the previous night. He also said that the "streak of black" had been carrying a round object about the size of a head under his arm when he appeared on the other side of the road. Apparently, "the black streak" had locked all of the nuns in their beds so they couldn't stop it. "The streak " had also stolen General Montcalm's skull, but for what reason? Just seconds later, a policeman came shooting through the front doors toward the sherriff.

"Puff! Puff! I found this note inside the box that contained Montcalm's skull sir!" the officer exclaimed.

The sherriff tore the note from his hands and read it to himself. It was written in coal and in a child's messy handwriting . The expression on his face changed to puzzlement. He read it out loud. "Montcalm lives again."

The noise in the crowd got louder. What could it mean? The police searched for days but they found no clues, no evidence and no trace of the "black streak".

It is said that on October 23rd at twelve noon, "the black streak" was seen again. This time he was on the east side of the Plains of Abraham. A crowd of people gathered about seventy five feet away. They could descry that the "streak" had drawn a royal blue hexagon, each side being about thirteen inches long. The thing placed Montcalm's skull over the hexagon pointing up in the sky like laser beams. Montcalm's body, with flesh and all burst out of the ground through the hexagon. He floated about four feet above the ground; the people could see a hologram or a very faint picture of Montcalm's men across the battlefield. The "black streak" disappeared and somehow the skull was back in its case in the convent. People think , and scientists have confirmed that Montcalm would only reappear if his skull or a part of his remains were placed in a hexagon on the very spot where he was shot.

The "black streak" was never seen again. Even today, people turn away when they hear the name "black streak" in Quebec. No one knows what he, she or it wanted or who it was.

ANNIE ST. GERMAIN "Toot, toot". The ship had docked on the forested shore of Quebec in the late 1600's. All the King's daughters walked onto the shore. The townspeople were all laughing, cheering and drinking.

I stepped out to greet my new husband. He was tall and muscular with orange hair, a French mustache, and hazel staring, bold eyes. He was wearing a leather coat, some ragged old pants and a racoon hat. He handed me a gun and told me how to use it and warned me to take it whenever stepping out of the cabin. We had a brief, inelegant wedding before I went to see his children.

The little three year old was Madeline; she had little dusty blonde curls, a few freckles, hazel staring eyes and pale white skin. Madeline was wearing a dirty old dress which was torn and ragged. Marion, who was eleven, had orange long hair, tatty and rough. Her face was roo pale.

She was tall and thin like her father, and she too had little freckles. She was wearing a shore lircle skirt which you could tell was almost worn right through. Then there was Thomas. He was eight years old, had blonde hair, hazel eyes, pale skin, and was tall and thin.

I made them all some bread and caribou stew then tucked the children into bed for it was getting on into the evening. When they were asleep I found some cloth and starred to make them some new clothes by the warm fire in the cozy little bungalow.

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR Kim was scared. She had to sing, dance and do a serious speech about the Chinese traditions for the whole school. What if she goofed up? Everyone in the school would tease her for the rest of the year.

Kim finally heard her name being called on the sound system. "Let's hear from Kim Young."

Kim made her way up the stage steps. Kim thought that it would soon be over and she should just get it done and over with. She kept thinking she would trip over her long Chinese robe.

When she was in the middle of the stage, she took a deep breath and told the crowd all about the food, clothing and festivals held in China. As she finished, she bowed to the side where the Principal was standing, but just at the same time she heard a loud screech coming from the speakers. She smiled shyly to the crowd and ran off the stage. She was so humiliated, and couldn't help wondering why things like that always happened to her. She thought she would hear laughing, or even booing, from the crowd, but she was wrong. She heard clapping. Kim smiled to herself. She had actually pleased the crowd.

The dancing and singing came easy to her after that and she did just whatever the music told her to do. The rest of the celebration passed quickly; extraordinary food to taste, songs to sing and finally changing back into her everyday clothes. The year of the goat had arrived!

by Sarah Maddix Grade 6

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR Walls decorated, Dragons and lanterns everywhere, Curiosity and excitement in the air.

Different food to taste Games to play.

Lion dance, ribbon dances, A way to welcome the New Year.

The ribbon dance begins; Fast movements, Red flares across the stage Like fire crackers, Exploding and dancing.

Now that the fun's over Down with the dragons, Down with the lanterns.

Hopefully to bring them back Again another year.

LIP-SYNC - THE CONTEST! It was the morning of February 14. I, Lili, had just arrived at school dragging behind me an enormous bag which had in it my own and other people's costumes for the annual Valentine's Day lip-sync contest. I shoved the heavy bag into my locker and slammed it closed before I asked the rest of my group, Nicole, Nadia and Alanna, if they had brought their costumes.

That's when Nicole gasped and went into a frenzy because she had forgotten her red shirt. We tried to calm her down by telling her, lying through our teeth, that they wouldn't notice if she wore her white gym shirt. We noticed the time and rushed into the classroom.

Triple English that morning. What a put down! The thought made the day seem so much longer. We made it to recess and then checked out our whole costumes and props. Were the dishes broken? No. Did Nadia have her apron? Yes. Did Alanna have her black hat? No! At that point Nicole was ready to pass out. Oh, well we thought we'd just have to do without it as we noticed the time.

Math. Then gym. Lunch time! What a relief; half the day was over. After lunch was French followed by geography. As geography dragged on, our lip-sync group kept looking at each other and at the clock. Geography was over at last. Then we had a whole class meeting to get through. No-one had anything to talk about so we went on to guidance.

Finally, guidance was over. All the girls rushed to the washroom to change into their dance clothes. The washroom was packed, but who cared?

Finally the lip-sync contest had arrived. We were to be the second group on stage. Nadia turned completely white as the first group finished. We walked on stage with our props and started to set up. We needed a table. There was no table! What next? \Y./e thought we'd lose for sure. We scrambled into our places and the music starred. So far, so good, but then the music stopped. They had turned it off! Why? Not enough time for our song we were told!

We complained bitterly and later, much later, we were given a second chance.

After, we slowly changed back into our dance clothes. Downstairs in the gym the winning groups were announced. The Grade five group came in third. The Grade seven group came in second. Oh, no! It was down to the two Grade six groups. We thought we were out.

"And the winners are - Alanna, Nadia, Lili and Nicole!" payed off. We had won the annual contest!

SKI-DAY NOT! "All right!" I shouted as I heard the news. Our class is going skiing at Blue Mountain. I love to ski and almost every weekend I would go with my Dad to our condo on the beaches of Georgian Bay to ski.

The day was here, the time was now! It was 5:30, time to move. I was ready by 6:30. I couldn't wait, it was so awesome. I would get a chance to burn off with Christian and Cam and maybe if he's fast enough and learned pretty well, Mac. I knew Blue Mountain like the palm of my hand.

Also a chance to give Mr. McC. a taste of true speed.

We were here. The teachers were huddled up in a circle and some kids were looking down in the dumps. I noticed, also, that there was no bus. I started to get the feeling we weren't going.

"We're not going," said Mr. Ginis.

"What? Oh, that's just great! If there is school today, Mr. Ginis, I'm going to barf!"

"Optional school."

"Yes!" Maybe this "Skiday Not" wouldn't be so bad after all.

by Andrew Kilgour Grade 6

CANCELLED! At 6:00 a.m. my alarm went off. I was filled with excitement; at least half of me was. One half of me really wanted to ski and the other half really wanted to sleep. I was silent and still as I manually held my eyelids open. I could see clear visions of me, in a couple of hours, sailing down the slopes with the wind blowing in my face. I turned to see the time and at the same instant I pulled my blankets up over my shoulders.

It was 6:10 a.m. My bed seemed softer than usual and warmer than ever. "It's time to get up!" my father called. "You don't want to be late".

I sat up and smiled again, thinking of the wintry white slopes and the poles in the palm of my glove. Tardily, I swung my legs over the side of the bed. In that instant my overhead light flicked on and immediately my hands went to my eyes. I fumbled over and switched it back off.

My body felt a chill so I grabbed my warm robe and held it tightly around me.

After slowly getting ready in appropriate clothes for the trip, I had a hasty breakfast and went out the door. Then I jumped into the car and sped along to school for I was late, only to find out that skiday had been cancelled.

MANSFIELD SKI CENTRE In February, the grade five class went Cross Country skiing at Mansfield Ski Centre. It was a two hour bus ride there and the bus driver kept giving some kids cold stares through the rearview mirror. I was sitting at the back of the bus with Abbie Scheffold and Hilary Howes.

When we got there, there was white snow everywhere and it was cold so our director led us into a log cabin where he told us about the place and all the trails we could go on. There was the red trail, green trail and the blue trail. The green trail was the easiest and not too long. The red trail was a little harder and longer and the blue trail was the same length as the red trail but really hard. I went on the green trail first and it was really fun. Then we had to come back to the cabin for lunch. We had chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese. After lunch I tried the red trail but it was too hard so I did the green trail. It was a fun day for me and I'm sure everyone else in grade five thought so too.

By Katherine Ledgett Grade 5 CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING One friday in February, grade five went cross-country skiing at Mansfield Ski Centre. At the ski centre they also had snow-shoeing, and in the summer nature hikes. For lunch we had grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken noodle soup made by the people who work at the ski centre.

When we got there we put on our skis and instructors taught us how to walk up hills.

Mansfield Ski Centre is great for families. They provide skis and boots of all sizes, and if you have skis or if you are a cross-country skier you can go and ski.

By Robbie Gordon Grade 5 NON SKI-DAY! I woke up in the morning with bags under my eyes, I had a dirty face and felt half my size.

It was 6:25 and boy was I tired, I felt like I had just been at a job and had been fired.

Le ski Le ski alpin et le ski de fond Neiger, tomber, descendre C'est un sport formidable! l'hiver

I crawled out of bed and barely mangaged to dress, I smelt like a rat and my hair was a mess.

par Robbie Gordon Grade 5

I finally reached the end of the "Never-Ending" steps, With struggles, a few quick movements and a few long rests.

After a short, tasty breakfast and some pretty strange events, I pulled myself together and asked my mom for some cents!

We climbed in the car, all bushed and ramshackled; When we reached the school we found Ski-day had been cancelled!

THE GEORGE IGNATIEFF THEATRE FEBRUARY 20 & 21, 1991

BECOMING A STAR "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," Was the best play in town.

It was about a boy called Charlie Brown Who really was quite a clown.

All his friends would laugh at him, And all he could do was sit and grin.

All the parents came to see, And some of them even liked me.

I had lots of lines to say, And remembered them without delay.

Since then, I often lie on my mattress, Dreaming of becoming a great actress.

WINTER HOLIDAYS Winter is in the air, Smell it, see it everywhere.

The drifts on riverbanks, Are gathering slowly as the snow falls.

And here I sit, on the great armchair.

Watching, slowly, the branches so bare.

And as I turn around, I see my brother lying on rhe ground.

And I think to myself, "I bet he 1s dreaming about Santa Claus!"

That big old man who is never thin , Never has time to scratch his chin.

And every year when we leave him a snack , We are sure that the next year he will come back.

WINTER Snowflakes falling on the tip Of my tongue.

Christmas carollers were here And they sung.

They left out of breath, The may catch their death.

The wind howling, My dog is growling, I sit by the fire With my friends I conspire.

I open the door, No flakes falling anymore.

I step out on the snow, The street lights aglow.

Birds in a 'V' Flapping with glee.

The church bells ring thrice, Steeples covered in ice.

WINTER TIME Snow is falling Coldly outside.

The wind is blowing it Like an overgrown tide.

Bundled up tight Close care for frost bite.

I hear a slight Crunch when I walk, I see a slight fog When I talk.

My boots have now Filled up with snow, So soon inside the house I go.

The smell of apple pie Greets me, With a small cup of delicious tea.

The fire gives me a glazing stare That tells me to put another log In there.

The tree is up and The stockings are hung.

The church bells twice Now have rung.

I pick up a book To read for a while, With the snow outside and The blazing fire.

By Alanna Wilson Grade 6

WINTER Winter's like a whole different place, The ground and sky are covered with lace.

The bare oak tree is laden with snow, The little snowflakes so lightly flow.

As the children play so happily, The bluejays fly so beautifully.

It's hit high up into the sky, Every Monday morning and Tuesday morning too, Yes it is a fly.

Out to the baseball diamond we came Do not worry, through and through.

The killer softball team we'll be there in a hurry. And even if we don't find success, The player comes over in a flurry, we always know we tried our best.

It's Ken Murray.

But we needn't worry because He places himself under the ball, we can hit that ball in And he ... dropped it. a blaze of fury.

BADMINTON Hit the birdie over the net, And then you make a bet, On who will win the game.

If you lose, don't go insane.

There's forehand, backhand, Smashes and serves.

But, look out!

He might hit a curve.

You have to look out, Because it's a very quick game, And when you're done, Remember to play it again!

EARTH DAY A celebration that comes once a year our debt to the earth we want to make clear.

This year it was a rainy day leaving us all wearing our K-Ways.

We planted some trees and played in the park before we knew it, it was almost dark.

Even though we only celebrate one Earth day we should use the three R 1s in every way.

By Angela Wagner Grade 8 I like the Earth. Sun gives it light.

The Earth is such a beautiful sight.

The Earth is neat, It's very sweet.

I hear the birds say tweet, tweet, tweet.

The Earth is nice, Even though there 1s mice.

I want to protect it From all the dangers in life.

"OUR PLANET" The earth is one large ball That's here for us to share.

We all have to preserve it, With lots of tender care.

Chemical waste, car exhaust, Gargage in the lake.

Can anyone ever correct man's Thoughtless mistakes?

We must start now to do our part, To save our only home.

To help make our planet a safe place, That's a non-pollution zone.

by Allana Wilson Grade 6

LAST GUARDIAN "The Guardian of the Earth will Speak" said the sign on the front door of the auditorium. The audience inside the auditorium found seats.

The Guardian spoke, "You know, you humans are really stupid. Just pure incompetence is all you humans have. I know a lot of life forms on many planers but none of them ever, ever could even contemplate the idea of how much wasre is produced by this planer. I save you humans whenever a major pollution or garbage crisis breaks our bur I'm sick of it and very tired. Next time you're on your own. By 1990 a little garbage here and there was manageable and even understandable because there was no alternative. But it's 4010 and you still haven't found a suitable solution except me all the time. Do you realize thar the entire continent of Africa couldn't hold all your garbage. This is a warning. I've got better things to do than save a planet that won't listen."

A stir of shock came over the audience as the Guardian of the Earrh walked off the stage. The audience was the last group of people ever to live on earrh . The audience was a group of ten people.

I walk into an open field I can just feel the sun shining down upon me.

Looking at the green and yellow colours.

To me it all seems like a dream.

Everytime I see birds soaring through the air I want to jump up and join them Way up there!

Today is a very nice day.

I ride to the park in May. I put down my bike, I start to play.

I hear a blue jay say What a nice day it is today!

I rode my bike through the park Suddenly it got very dark.

It started to rain, It was a pain.

I rode my bike farther down the lane, To a street called Main.

I got home. Noone was there, So I looked for them everywhere.

By Jake Cohl Grade 3

I walk in a grassy meadow I stop to feel the breeze and rustle of the grass.

The birds are singing their sweet rune.

Sometimes I look up in the sky I pause to pick a daisy Birds are chattering to each other.

With nature spread out like a carpet all around me. Sometimes I see them make their nest And that's where they will all rest.

I feel like dancing there.

The forest is green and filled with wildlife.

By Ashley Markle I start to whistle a merry little rune.

Grade 3 Along with the birds up above me.

By J enna Manone Grade 3

I walked into a grassy meadow The colours in the sun so bright and wonderful.

I could hear the birds singing above my head So I laid down and read and read.

This Earth has given me birth.

Its gentle touch doesn't hurt that much.

As the sun's rays are coming through the haze, The Earth still protects us.

As peace drifts away, The Earth is still here to stay.

THE FUTURE EARTH In the year 5198, the world was quite unliveable. From the surface all you could see were clouds of fog and pollution. The landscape was hills with coloured layers, the ground soft and wet. But this was not the world. This was not where beings dwelled. It was underground where the hermits lived; where the beings had retreated. The beings living there were not humans. They were hard to look at, for living under landfill sites required adaptations. The beings were small, to crawl through the cramped tunnels; they had hard worn bones on their heads so bumping .the ceiling would not injure them; huge feet so they wouldn't sink in the mud; eyes adjusted to the dim light, and tiny nostrils to avoid the horrid smell. These appalling creatures were what had become of the earthlings; destroyed by their own waste.

If you want your descendants to live like this, continue to pollute the environment. The choice is yours.

FALLING FOREST The dizzying canopy above my head, Greens, browns, yellows and red.

Last year's leaves scattered around All over the brown, fertile ground.

Mosses here, fungis there, Bright leaves falling in my hair.

Round and round the trees I walk, Only to look, never to talk.

The colourful seasons here, then gone, The falling of trees, like the sound of a bong.

New developments taking away, The beautiful forest ain't here to stay.

by Sarah Dimick Grade 6

I step outside No clouds in the sky.

There is a gentle breeze.
