Granville Island Vancouver, Canada

Hi again. Yesterday we went from Forks to Canada. When we got to Canada we did a little hike and dad fell over and tore some ligaments in his ankle. Today we got dad some crutches and athletic tape. After we did that we took a little boat to an island called  Granville Island  where there were lots of shops. We went to one place where it had lots of shops inside it. Me and Nathan walked around to all the shops and trying there taste testers. When it was time for lunch we walked around to see what our options were for lunch. I couldn't choose between a spanakopita or a bagel. Everybody else was getting bagels so I got the spanakopita. Dad took me to get the spanakopita while mum and Nathan waited in the log line fore there and dad's bagels. Then we went to Kids Market. After kids market we watched somebody blow glass. Then we went to a place and I got a gelato. The two flavors that I got were mango and raspberry. Over all it was an awesome day. 

Poem Inspired By James K Baxter

Hi, it's Miriam here. Today in my writing group we copied down our poems that we wrote last week that were inspired by James K Baxter a New Zealand poet that wrote the poem 'This Town'. When we wrote our poem inspired by James K Baxter we had to: Select a place where we want our poem to take place, pick 5 nouns related to the place, pick 5 strong verbs and then end it by saying "Doing nothing important." I hope that you like my poem I really enjoyed writing and reading the poem so I hope you do as well.
