grade 8 life

in grade 8 is no so good because you cant go to hillside alone and also the check in is earlier and that is so bad. Also if you are using your phone after lights out you are going to be punished bye taken your phone away . and my friend Carlos had been changed of grade 8 to 9 because he is older than all the grade 8's and that is so bad and they change of room and roommate also with another Mexican and we the Mexican grade 8 miss him in middle school.

the best parts of grade 8 are that you have less class than others but also you made fun activities like go to hockey games and you can go to hillside  with a house parent but we cant go yet because one Mexican guy is behaving bad that is not me  i am not going to tell his name but the point things is that we grades 8 don't have a lot of privileges

All About Me

HI EVERYONE I am Lucy from Grade 8. Yeah I am the only girl boarder in Grade 8 this year. I am 13, I am from China, I love playing the piano, reading and listening to music.

China:

China is a pretty big country, there are about 1,300,000,000 people in China, kinda crowded. China has long history, about five thousand years. There are many famous people in China’s history, like the person once on the screen of the chapel, Laozi. There are many traditions in China, there are many festivals. Recently there was a festival called ”MId-Autumn Festival”. And the National day is on October 1st. But the most important festival is the Spring festival. In the past, Chinese people made a special calendar by observing the moon. And the Spring Festival is on the eve of the first day of the year of that calendar. On the Spring Festival Eve, every family get reunion, and have a big dinner. Nowadays we set up fireworks those days.

PS:we do not cook Chinese noodles like Brownhall do.

My School in China:

The education system in China is completely different to Canada. There are several classes in one grade, and the class never change, that means we have the same classmates for years. We stay in the same classroom, and the teachers come into our classrooms and give classes. Expect the classes like PE, Music, Art and so on.

My Biggest Hobby:

I think my biggest hobby is playing the piano. I started playing it since I was 4. So I have played it for about 9 years. At first I thought it was annoying, but as the time passed by, I found that it was quite interesting, and the music I am playing become more and more complicated, and more beautiful. Now I practice it almost every day, and I think it is a great way to relax.

PS:I also like reading, playing tennis, listening to music, etc.

Yesterday I was in 8 grade and today I am in grade 9 because they change me  to grade 9 the reason they tell me that I will be in grade 9 is because I am to old to the middle school. Another good thing is that know I can play in the competitive team with other schools,know I am playing only rugby and also soccer.
