My Weekend!

Bonjour, this is Sienna, if u didn't know.
Here's another blog post.

Here are some activities I did over my weekend:

1. Hiking:

2. Sleepover:

3. Cooked a cake:

4. Went to a craft fair.

5. Ummmm............

6. Watched half of a movie


1. It was on a sunny, cold fall day in November, when Sienna and her family went hiking....
(This is not a story, why did a write it like one?)

Anyway....

We went up the bluffs.We sat on rocks and climbed hills until we got to the most beautiful, epic site ever. The sun was setting over the mountains, with Skaha lake and some hills around it.
We stayed up on the bluffs for 15 or so minutes.
Then skidded down the hills and jumped into our car. Then drove home.

Me in fall.

Me in spring.

 
We're hiking to the top, before night falls.







This is the beautiful sunset.

2. Friday night
I had a sleepover with a friend.
We stayed up 'till 12:00.
The next morning we watched a lot of tv.

3. Then when we got sick of tv, we baked a cake.
But we didn't have the patty pans for the cakes, so we walked to Walmart to buy some.
The cakes were yummy!

After we baked the cake, we went to a craft fair.

4. At the Craft Fair.
I made a gingerbread house, a stocking and last but not least, a Christmas tree.


5. Ummmmmmmm......................................

6.  I watched a movie 'till Jera and mum got home at 9:00pm. They were at play practise.

So that's what I did over the weekend.


My weekend was:

Interesting, Amusing, Fantastic, Awesome, Epic, Fun.

Snow!

Bok peoples of the world.Guess who this is?.....Have u guessed yet?
Well it's me Sienna! If you still don't know, here's a picture of me.

                                                I LOVE THE SNOW!!!!

Guess what! One day we were piling leaves and then, over night it SNOWED!!! It was so pretty! The next morning, we had a snow ball fight. Then I built a small, cute, adorable SNOWMAN! I always get so EXITED when we have our first snowfall. It was so much FUN!

This our front yard covered in snow.

In this picture, I'm about to throw a snowball at my brother, Jera.
Also, I made a tiny snowman.
Then we made an army of snowmen and snowgirls.Oh look...Here's a picture of my snowman!

This my snowman, McBill Nayta Myitoo. I built him on November 10th at 10:01, nine days ago.
It snowed all night and I made my first snowball at 10:30 at night.
It is still in my freezer to this second and I'm planning to keep it there 'till summer 2013.

I'm making Mcbill Nayta Myitoo a friend in this picture. I named her Jikmye Kantrin McAzgie. She is female. I think they melted happily together.

In memory of eight snowmen who only lived for 3 hours:

McBill Nayta Myitoo and Jikmye Kantrin McAzgie
Mazztiy Annta Maypnoo and Seanzi Uniove Nunyie
Qoibe Zan'mie Pomdy and Snyzzo MeKinp Pino'
Awhumoo Mo'Ysnie Ayz and Pilici Sarlatan Za Mlijeko

And one more snowman, that my brother made and wanted me to add.
But he has such a normal name!:
His name is.......

Autumn/Fall

 Hi people of the world, it's me, Sienna! Yesterday, my epic, twin brother, Jera and I were playing in the colourful leaves.We're at our grandma's, in her yard. Her name is, Mets, and she is ninety-two. But she still makes nice, hot lunches.

I'm eating a leaf, 'cause I'm still hungry.Jera is trying to quack in this picture. I think his is glad I'm eating the leaf.

I'm collecting leaves for our biggest leaf pile ever. See all those leaves? We were trying to put all of them in a pile. It didn't get very big, though it was fun.

After our leaf pile Mum gave us some warm, hot coco. It was good! While we were drinking our warm, hot coco Buddy was trying to find a chipmonk. Here's a picture of it.

It's not a chipmonk, it's a squirrel. Do you know the difference between a chipmonk and a squirrel?

A squirrel has a horizonral tail when he/she's running. On the other hand a chipmonk has a vertical tail when it runs.

 

he

This is Buddy, chewing on a yummy stick in the backyard. Isn't he to die for?

This is the chipmunk who we named Bill. He is eating a walnut in a shead, where he made his home. He stores his nuts in our backyard, in a bird house.We have a walnut tree,where Bill gets all the walnuts. Bill collects our walnuts then stores them in the bird house. 

 

 

 Jera and I are making a little more pocket money by cleaning up people's yard mess. Our business is called K. L.Y.S (Kids Lawn Yard Service).Call us if you need us to: Shovel snow, rake leaves or water your garden.

 

At the end of our day, we went inside and left Bill and the beautiful leaves outside in the cold, fall night. But what we didn't know was........

MY WEEKEND!

This is everything that I did over my weekend. On Saturday, I went to the craft fair that my Mum and Dad worked at. I also had a friend there so we went around the Christmas Craft Fair just hanging out together. We stayed at the market for 5h and then went to Mets' (my grandmother) house for lunch at 12:00.

On Sunday I was so excited because we went to the movies. We saw Hotel Transylvania. It was Epic! I give it:

Also I went to church on Sunday morning. It was fun. We got snacks and watched a movie about suffering. I give the star rating the same as the movie.

 

Last week, I went to a new youth group, Beautiful Girls," for the first time. It was so much FUN!

We carved pumpkins and got to dance around to our favorite songs in our halloween costumes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Boo, it's me Sienna.
OMG I can't wait 'till HALLOWEEN!
Only TWO days away in Canada, where I live.
In Australia where I was born it's only ONE day away. But they hardly celebrate Halloween.

Yesterday, my brother, Jera, and I carved pumpkins. Mine's not scary at all. It has square eyes and a "D" mouth. It looks funny. I had a friend over, so she carved one too. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait 'till Halloween.

This is me holding up my cute, non-scary pumpkin. His name is Bob. Bob is very heavy. He is also very orange.

I love Halloween.You go out at night and collect candy. All kids, probably 1-14 years old, are out on the street or at someone's house collecting candy. I'm twelve, turning thirteen on August fourth.

My favourite holidays are: Christmas, Halloween and My Birthday, because:
1. Christmas because u get to spend time with your family and get presents from Santa and decorate the tree.
2.Halloween 'cause u get to dress up in these spooky or non-spooky costumes and go around trick-o-treating. Also you get to hand out treats.
3.My birthday 'cause u get presents and age up.You get to do special things also. Plus you get spend time with your family.

So that's why I'm exited for Halloween!



This is my dad, carving Bob's head. Poor Bob!
 

This is Jera, (The boy in the gray top with the brown hair), Jenna (one of my friends who had a sleepover and stayed for caving pumpkins),  with brown hair pink shirt. And me, Sienna, in the blue shirt caving Bob. Bob,(Orange pumpkin that Jenna and I are carving).



Now some questions for you.
What are you going to dress up as?
Do you like Halloween?
Do you celebrate Halloween?
Do you like candy?
What kind of candy is your favourite?

Before I go, here are some spooky facts about halloween.

1. Halloween used to be called all hallows' eve.
2.People used to do a trick and then they would get a treat. Today you just get the mouth-watering candy.
3. On November 1, there was a holiday called Hallomas were people give out food to the poor.
4. In France, many years ago they celebrated Halloween on November 2.
5. The history of Halloween goes back almost two thousand years ago.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
BOOOO!

Vancouver Aquarium

Hi, it's me Sienna. A few weeks ago we went to the Vancouver Aquarium. This is a picture of me next to the Beluga Whales.

                  That night we slept next to them they glowed in the darkness. I got to sleep at 1am.

These Penguins just sat there 'cause there were new to the Vancouver Aquarium. The blue tags mean they're boys. The pink tag mean they are girls.One of the penguins went in the water for a little swim.

In this picture I'm holding a Monarch butterfly. It just landed on my hand. One of my friends called the butterfly that landed on him Bob.

This is a  dolphin doing a show for us. He did flips and dives.It was very interesting to watch.

This is me in with the frogs' habitat.There is a brown one with black spots in front of me, and a green tree frog camoflaged. Try and find it! There are about twenty frogs in this tank.
 

  
This is a sleeping snake curled up on a branch.Lets not wake up the snake.Shhh!

This an pretty electric blue bird. My mum took this picture. Thank u mum. My favourite colour is blue so this is my favourite colour of bird.

This is everyone that attended the overnight sleepover. I'm the third person on the left side.

 

After the Vancouver Aquarium we went to a beach.

This is me my twin brother Jera and my Dad searching for shells with me. We found a crab shell with no crab in it and some other pretty shells.

Here's our post which was on the on the Youlearn blog: http://www.youlearn.ca/dl/YouLearn_DL/Home/Entries/2012/9/24_Sleeping_with_Belugas.html

Last week, we went to the Vancouver Aquarium for an overnight camp with 30 other homeschoolers and their families. We slept with the Baluga Whales. Don't worry we didn't drown! We were sleeping outside the tank. After the Aquarium closed the doors for the night, we had a fun time exploring the marine labs and touching sea stars, sea urchins, crabs, anemones and snake skins. Then we were allowed to wander around the Aquarium and check out the other creatures in their habitats. When the lights went out the Belugas started to perform as if they where saying, "Watch meeeeeeeee".  It was amazing to sleep listening to their sounds as they swam. We didn't get to sleep until 1 am. Next morning we met the dolphins and watched them perform tricks. Our favourite was a porpoise (his name was Jack) who came up to talk to us, only we did not understand him. Oh well! We had a great trip!

Guiness Book of World Records

On Friday, we got together with a homeschooling group to do a little science lesson that's going to be in the Guiness World Records book 2013.

Bernoulli Principle states that for an inviscid flow, (a liquid that has no density or thickness), an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.^[1][2] Bernoulli's principle is named after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli who published his principle in his book Hydrodynamic in 1738.^{[3] Taken from Wikipedia.}

This is Doc. Don his explaining how to do the balloon experiment down here. He said some very interesting stuff.

This is what he was explaining in the picture above.You put the balloons above your head and blow. If you want to see what happens, press on the link to watch a video below.

    

You can do this at home if you want, it's easy.This experiment works as a sprayer. You just get a cup 2/3 filled with water. Get 2 straws, one little one and one bigger one. Put them together at an angle into the cup of water then blow hard.

This is me doing that experiment above.But my mum embossed the photo to make it look interesting.

If my instructions are not clear go to this link.
  

This is everyone in the Homeschoolers group who came to the Guiness Book of World Records Science experiment.
This record will be in  2013 Guiness World Records book.

Here's my certificate.

My collage of Perry The Platypus!

Hi, again my name is Sienna. From now on im going to but a different language "Hello". Like "Hola, Bok or just bonjour".

 

This is a collage of Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb.

All these pictures are off the Internet and it took me about half an hour to make this collage. I made it on paint. I would have liked a blue background but it blends to much with Perry, so I made it green. My favourite picture in this collage I made, is the 9th one on the left. What's your favourite one?

(In my other post: "Hi!!!! I'm excited," I forgot to say that I was born in Australia).

Yesterday, I found something in my bag I made a year ago it was a stress bag, using flour and a balloon. Now I have it with me at all times :) Here is a picture of it:

 Also yesterday I also posted my first blog. Thanks to fourteen people for looking at my first post.

Hi!! I'm excited!

Hi, I'm new. This is my first blog and I'm excited!
This photo is of me with my pet dog, Buddy.We got him from the SPCA about 3 years ago.

 I also have a twin brother Jera and we are both 13 years old.

We have 3 fish which are Jera's. Simsim, my Teddy bear hamster is my pet. Also Buddy who belongs to the whole family. He is a 12 year old black Lab Chow cross.

I have braces now unlike this photo. So my teeth are much more ducky (ducky is a old English for nice). My favorite color is blue. I love to ice-skate and hang out with all my friends. I also love the outdoors. I like playing on my computer also.

I'm homeschooled now and love it. In September we went to the Vancouver Aquarium for an overnight sleepover next to the Beluga whales. They looked as though they glowed in the darkness. The guides also gave us a tour and told us stories about the mammals and animals.

Thanks for reading my first blog post!
