The IT Summit

Well this On Monday and Tuesday this week our teacher went to an IT summit in Saskatoon. She had two days of presentations and learned lots. So she came back today and has been telling us all about the things she's learned. The best thing of all she won a Black Berry Playbook. It is very cool and we have been all learning about it. The longer it sits in this class room the more stuff we find out it can do. So we just found out that it has games on it, and it also has a Skype thing for Black Berry's. Now we just found out it has radio on it, good thing its loud so we can all hear it YA. Well with all the new things we stop working and go and see the new stuff our teacher has to shows us.

Well hopefully we will learn something else.

The Canadian Government

The Canadian Federal election was held on May 2, 2011. The election was held because there was a vote of non confidence in the government. The party leaders started campaigning across the country trying to get people's vote. There was 308 seats to win in the House of Commons. If you receive 155 seats you have a majority government and can pass almost anything you like. When the election was held these were the results: Conservatives won 167 seats. They won the election and also gained a majority government. The NDP won 102 seats, this is the first time for a long time that the NDP is the official opposition of government. Liberals won 34 seats. They lost 43 seats in the election and is the first time they haven't been the opposition. The Bloc won 4 seats and lost most of their seats in the election, they lost a total of 43. Green won 1 seat, this is the first seat they have gained for a longtime. After the Election, the Bloc leader and the Liberal leader have said they will step down. For now, there shouldn't be another election for a awhile.

Auction Sales

Well I work in our family auction company. I am now a ringman and have helped at every sale this April. We had very few sales but everything sold very well. My job consists of hauling sale sheets to the office from the sound truck. Then after small items, I help the buyers haul their merchandise to their vehicle. We have more sales in June. Then we will have maybe two in July and one in August. I have only skipped one day of school and in June I might have to skip three i'm so lucky.

My Ten in Ten

Well my teacher told me to do a ten in ten. She got this idea from here and did one herself. So here is my ten in ten.

The animals from the Book Fair which happens every year in November.

Some of the Grade 5 and 6's reading in the newly painted library.

The casts for our dinner theater which happened awhile ago

We had 2 plays and I was in "A Date for Bobby Sox".

One of our schools many painted ceiling tiles and this one is just awesome.

This is a big mural painted along the balcony above the gym.

It was painted in 2005 and depicts Saskatchewan's timeline in 100 years.

This is the total for how much money we raised for

Jump Rope for heart.

What To Blog About

Well I had a good idea of what to blog about. That changed when I realized I never brought an I pod cord and then we left the classroom. The class was kicked out because the people were here to put in new light bulbs. So new light bulbs mean better light, at least we will see better. So I had a great idea to blog about how calving is going so far but it will have to wait for another day. 4-H regional speaking is getting close, it is on Saturday. We will go to Moose Jaw, do our speeches and maybe if things are going good we will get to see some mens world cup curling. Well thats all I have to say for now. So GOOD BYE everybody and have a very nice day.

The Calving

Well this year calving will be quite different from last year. It all started last year when calving was cold and stormy. This put dad over the edge and in the fall we sold the entire cow calf operation, all 300 cows and we only kept 15 breeding cows. All we had left on the farm was these cows and, 150 calves to feed and grass in the summer. So now the cows are getting close to calving and the calving barn is all ready. This year all 10 cows that will calve fit in the barn nicely. So if it is storming we open the gate and every single cow walks inside. This of course is better than choosing what animals you think will calve and not having them calve at all. So like I said calving will be different.

4-H Speeches

My 4-H club, the Bea Bank 4-H Beef club, had our club speeches on Fri, March 4. I won the Junior level of Speaking, and I moved on to District 7 speeches on March 7 in Flaxcombe, Sk. There were 4 speakers in each category except for seniors. After our Judges did their judging, we found out the results. They started with Clover buds and then on to the Juniors. Of course the winner was me. So know I have to move on to Moose Jaw for regionals. I will know give you a copy of my speech.

Here you go-
