Goat Farm

We went and visited a goat farm near Lac La Hache.  It was fun and I got to hold a goat.  He kept on nudging my cheek.  I guess he liked me!

Gymnastics Performance

This is me at the year end performance for gymnastics.  I love gymnastics and I'm going to do it next year.  I like it because we get to learn new skills and we get to have a test.  The back arch is the hardest skill to do.

Jessie and the Foal

This is the story about a girl and a horse finding a foal with the help of their three friends named Gemma, Rainy and Claire.

It was a warm evening in September and Jessie and her horse Goldie were watching the sun go down.  Suddenly, her bird  Gamal, dropped a message.  It was written in bird language.  Jessie knew how to read bird language and she read it out loud.  “Go on a mission to find Goldie’s foal”.  So they went in and asked their Mom if they could have a snack.  She said yes.  They asked her if they could go away for a few days.  She said yes.  They packed up four peanut butter sandwiches, four water bottles and lot’s of trail mix.  They packed up a whole bag of carrots for the horses.  Then they called their friends on the phone to tell them to meet them on the third rocky mountain.

When everyone was gathered together, Jessie said, “We have to find a place to camp soon.  It’s getting dark”.  They split up and Gemma was the first to say she found the perfect hiding spot.  It was in a cave on one of the rocky mountains.  They checked it and realized it was an old bear cave but the bear had moved on because it was too small for him.  They unloaded their stuff and made a fence using scrap wood they found which was in circle pieces and some wire that Rainy had packed.  Suddenly, they heard a rattling sound coming from a bush.  They quickly made a fire to see what it was.  Using the light, they saw it was a rattlesnake.  Nobody knew what to do but Claire.  “Everybody get back”, she said, “I know what to do!  I’ll tame it”.  She quickly got her flute out of the pile of stuff they had unpacked and she played her favourite song that was called, Rattlesnake Taming.  The rattlesnake slithered away into the bush and went into its little cave and curled up and fell asleep.  The girls ate some of the trail mix, a bite of their sandwich, and some berries that they found on a bush outside the cave.  They curled up on a soft grass nest that the bear had made and fell asleep.

The next day they climbed the last mountain and saw a beautiful land.  They climbed down into the valley and Rainy said, “Shouldn’t we find some water.”  They went to a nearby stream and there drinking was Goldie’s foal.  Jessie knew right away because Goldie ran to the stream and the little foal began to jump excitedly.  They nudged each others noses.  “We found her!  Hurray!”, Gemma said.  “Now we can go home.”  Instead of climbing up the mountain again, the foal showed them an old plane that was big enough for all of them.  They jumped in and nobody knew how to fly the plane except for Jessie.  So Jessie piloted the plane home.  Now she had her own plane too!.  The three friends friends split up to their own homes and they all lived happily ever after.
