Matt's Hockey Mania

Dear blog, I have decided to delete you because I will have no time in the summer to right post’s and comment. Having lot’s of sleepovers, hockey camps, and camping will take up all of my time!

One of the things I have enjoyed about blogging is getting comments from all over the world from like Spain, Pakistan, Hong Kong and many! many! many! other places.

One of the things I didn’t enjoy is getting spam! Sometimes I would get a comment and I really wanted to see what they said and then I noticed it was an advertisement for something.

Something I have learned about me is that I can write a post about anything in very little time with few errors! I have really enjoyed blogging this year and had fun writing choice post’s.

Good bye blog!

Hi everyone,

Last Thursday my class went camping at Airforce Beach and it was so fun! We did lot’s of activity’s at our camp sight and at the beach. I am going to tell you some of the things we did and zoom in on my favorite part.

When we first got to camp we set up our tents right away so we didn’t have to later. After that we got dressed and went right down to the beach! Some of the activities at the beach were really fun. I got buried really deep in the sand with Ethan and Charlie! We also had little fishing nets at the beach for the tide pools, there were lot’s of flounders and bull heads to catch. Also when the tide pools were moving really fast down to the ocean all of the huge crabs were getting pushed down the tide pool, we were catching a whole bunch! After that we had a scavenger hunt on the beach! There were many items that were hard to find but we managed to find lots of the things on the list. After that we were finished at the beach and went back up to the camp sight. We started to play games like predator and prey and sardines! I had to leave have way through the game to go to baseball.

When I got back  we were getting ready to do our skits for science which was my favorte part of camp! I really liked the skits because they were all made up and really funny even though they had nothing to do with science just drama.

After the skits we played a couple more games and then we went to bed. That was when the worst part of camp happened, sleeping in a tent on rocks squished with 2 other boys in the tent!

The next day we got up at around 7:00 am  to sit around the fire. We had breakfast a little later and we had scrambled eggs and bacon! After breakfast we got ready to go down to the beach which took a while. We lost both our class soccer balls somewhere in our camp sight, we finally found them later on, and  then went down to the beach! We did a lot of the same things as yesterday but it was still really fun. We were down at the beach for a long time and had to go up to the campsite sometime.  After the beach it was time to go home! Which nobody wanted to do but it was the end of camp.

Water splashing, people paddling , and the wind blowing in your face from the sail. That’s something I like to call sailing!

Recently my class for the past 4 weeks has been going sailing 2 sessions a week. It has been so much fun! The first 2 days we learned all about the boats (catamarans) and what to do when were out in the water. There were a whole lot of parts on the boats (catamarans) that we had to memorize. We needed to know all of it because if someone said like pull the tiller bar towards you, you would know what to do!

Catamaran

Sometimes sailing could get a little frustrating because of the wind and how much there was! There were nine boats out in the water. It was really fun because we got to ride out to the Spit and out in the middle of the ocean. There were a lot of sea life well riding like fish, otters, and a whole lot of jellyfish!

We had to do all the work on are own, putting up the sail and taking the sail down. Carrying the boat on the trailer and attaching it! In the end it all paid off because we got our cat cards for completing the session.

Hi everyone!

Today we had three guys parachute out of a Buffalo (Air plane) on to our school field. It was pretty cool watching them just fall out of the sky and land. They were from the Search And Rescue at our base. The guys were all wearing bright orange suits and also the parachute. The reason is because if they are in the sky the people on the ground can make sure they’re ok.

There are a few questions I have to answer now!

Would you jump out of a plane?

I am really not sure because from down on the ground looking up at the plane it doesn’t look that high up, but from up there I bet it would be much different. I don’t think I would jump out of the plane but it looks really fun!

Would you be a SAR Tech?

I don’t think I would want to be a SAR Tech because I think it’s kind of a dangerous job and plus I am trying to have a career in hockey. But it would be cool to fly the Buffalo (plane) and cormorant (helicopter).

Have you ever been in danger and in need of help?

Actually I have never been in danger or anything luckily! But I have seen other people in danger in like car crashes or on the news.
