Spruce Lake

For those of you who have never been to Spruce Lake before I have a special article for you. THIS ARTICLE IS GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT SPRUCE LAKE!!!!!! OK for starters, you have to be at school at 6:30 in the morning. You leave exactly at 7. That means you have to get up at like 5 in the morning. For those of you who like to sleep later than 5 in the morning you are probably saying Oh great why would she put this post up and go to a different website. Trust me if you are feeling that way don't do it... Spruce Lake is totally worth it. After you load up the cars off you go on a three hour trip. BUT the scenery is beautiful. When you pass the overlook it is BEAUTIFUL!!!! When you get there prepare for some comfort food. Spruce Lake has the best food ever!!!! DRINK CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! It is the best and tastiest way to get the nutrients of milk and sugar into your body. Trust me you need it. After you eat you unpack and get in your cabins. The cabins are the best, comfiest rooms ever. Depending on what grade you are in. You get to do bigger and more fun stuff the older you get. Like this year we got to do the Power Swing!!!! They drop you in a harness from a 30 ft. drop its awesome. On the day you leave you stop at McDonalds to eat. Spruce Lake is the best place ever to go on a overnight field trip!!!!!!

Book Review: King of the Shadows

For Literature we have to do book talks once a quarter. Book talks are a book report, a speech and a creative model. This quarter I read the book King of the Shadows by Susan Cooper. For my creative model I wrote a short story which I would like to share with you. If you are looking for a book to read I would highly recommend this one. If you would like to read an actual book review here is one from Wikipedia that I liked:

Well as you know Nat Field came to live with us from St. Paul’s School. A few days after he got here he got the plague so we sent him to bed with the gravest thoughts. We thought he would die but he didn’t. But, he didn’t seem like the Nat Field we knew before he got the plague. I thought nothing of it at the time. Now that he is gone well… Harry

Since you want me to say something about Nat, I guess I must since I am apprenticed to you. My name is Roper and Nat and I don’t get along well at all. Nat is good at gymnastics and I guess he is a tad bit better than me. But on the contrary he is terribly bad at fencing where as I am on of the best in the company. Well apart from you and Master Burbage I suppose. What’s that you say??? I have to talk about Nat???? Well Nat is a bothersome boy and a coward. One time we went to a bear-baiting and he ran away crying like a baby. Am I done now? Roper


Well now I am going to write about Nat even though I am the writer. Nat is a dramatic young boy. Now that we know what happened I was sad to see him go. Well see let me explain from the beginning. Nat Field was a boy who did go to St. Paul’s School and he got the bubonic plague. Now if I had gotten it from him and died I wouldn’t have written anymore plays for the company to perform. So somehow I sent him to the future to get the care he needed. Well he did and luckily got switched with a Nat Field from 1999. Strangely enough he knew the lines to the plays we did. Well so after he had been here for about a month, he got switched again with the Nat Field from now. We will always miss Nat Field from 1999 in our hearts. William Shakespeare

Camp Wildflowers

This summer I went to Camp Wildflowers. We went cliff repelling and canoeing. Going down the cliff was really scary. It was hard to put your trust in a rope and basically drop yourself over the cliff. Canoeing was really fun because we did not know how to do it. We also had cookouts where we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. We made a hobo dinner of beef packets and dump cake which was really good. We went swimming almost every night. We played games and had a food fight, which was really disgusting and messy. I really loved going to camp.

Trouble

After I went to the grocery store, I went to my house. I put everything away neatly inside the cupboards in the kitchen. Then I went back to the small town. I walked around the park. In the park there are small vendors selling ice cream,hot dogs and stuff like that. I asked some of them if they had seen my mother. Almost all of them said they had not. But one of them said they had seen someone like that description at Town Hall a couple of weeks ago. That really did not help at all but I thanked him and left. I did not have anything else to do so I walked over to Town Hall. Unfortunately I had forgotten that the 4th graders of the orphanage were taking a field trip to Town Hall to watch a small trial. I quickly ducked behind the building but it was to late, somebody had seen me. Now I thought I would be caught but they looked at me and saw that I was older then them. So the little girls thought I was just visiting the trial just like they were. I have to be more careful from now on.
