What I learn about remember day !!

November 11th is Remembrance Day.  In class we are learning about Canada in the wars and we are doing a timeline. My teacher Mr.Borges brought a letter of someone who was in the Canadian army and who send it to his family.  Mr. Borges also brought an old helmet from the First Word War. The First World War started in 1914 and ended in 1918.  The Second World War 1939 and ended in 1945.  The Korean War started in 1950 and ended in 1953.  The war in Afghanistan started in 2003 and it still going on. Remembrance Day is the day to remember the soldiers who fought for us so that we could be free and that is why we have a Remembrance Day.  Millions of Canadians wear poppies each November to remember soldiers who died in battle.  Poppy is a symbol of life.  Back in World War 1 the soldiers often picked the poppies and wore them on their helmets.

Terry Fox

Terry Fox was a very good person and helped people around the world. On July 28, 1958 Terry fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Terry’s family settled in British Columbia. 10 year later Terry got cancer and had to amputate his leg. Then he had chemotherapy treatment in for 16 months. When he got better, had decided to run and raise money for cancer research.  On September 1, 1980, after 143 days and 5,374 km , Terry Fox stopped running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because his cancer spread throughout his body. On September 13, 1981 760  places in Canada and around the world ran the first Terry Fox run. $3.5 million where raised for cancer research. On February 1, 1981 Terry’s dream of raising $1 from every Canadian to fight cancer came true. Terry raised $24.17 million through his marathon of hope. |He died soon after.  On June 26, 1982 a statue of Terry Fox was presented where Terry Fox ended his run on September 1, 1980. These are the facts about Terry Fox that I found interesting.

SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE!!!!!!

Should music be downloaded for free???

 

Yes, downloading of music for free from the internet should be free.  We can get music we want to listen for free and can save money by downloading music instead of buying the CD at the store.  Napster and Aimster are only a few Internet sites that allow visitors to download free music. Some people say that if you download music that it will affect CD sales.  But there’s no proof that internet music sites affect the sale of CD and music companies.  Some people download free Music and copy it on CD and sell it to make money with the free download of music. That isn’t right.  But we should be allowed to download for free if it’s for us.

My Weekend

I had a great weekend because I went to my friend’s house for two days. I had a sleepover at his house. We played games like runescape, ps2, monopoly, etc. After we went to his back yard and played soccer. When we finished playing soccer game. Then we watched television, we watched Futerama. The next day my friend’s mom took us to eat MacDonalds. We ate fries, Big Mac and drank coke. After eating lunch we went to my friend’s house to go on the computer and played runescape again. We played for 2 hours. We saw a movie all together called Indiana Jones. I went home around 7 pm. When I got home I did a lot of homework.
