Div. 35 Goes Bowling

On December 17, 2010, our class went  bowling! It was at Rev’s Bowling Alley.  Wow was it ever fun! We began our trip in cars. I was in a car with Shelby and Emma and it was supposed to have Mackenzie but she was too sick. Anyway, once we arrived at the alley, we had to get our shoes, personally I think we drove the shoe lady a little insane because lots of us couldn’t make up our minds about what size shoe we wore. Well, as soon as we got into our teams, the pressure was on! Once the music started I think Aiden got a little too involved! However, it looked like lots of people were really enjoying the music! All of the teams had their weakest and strongest players. In one team’s case, the player wasn’t weak at bowling but just too weak to keep holding onto her bowling ball (Abby). Everybody was concentrating so hard, except for those who preferred to dance,  and if the music wasn’t going, I bet you could drop a pin and hear it. After the bowling was finished, we all headed back to class, and Mr. Mac added up the scores. Of course, his team won! GO LANE 3! He saved all the bad players on his team, (Emma, Shelby and Hannah,) by scoring a whopping 197! That team will be getting a lame prize, (a half-eaten chocolate bar) when we all come back from Winter Vacation or at least they should!

Driftwood Santas

Ho Ho Ho Santa’s coming to town in Division 35. A few days ago Mrs. Lobel taught us how to make Driftwood Santas for Christmas. It was a simple and quick thing to do and probably a great gift for Christmas. To make your own Driftwood Santa there are just a few steps to follow. Step one is to find an unusual piece of wood and paint the whole thing red, for Santa’s jacket. The next step is Santa’s face -  paint a tan coloured circle in the middle of the piece of the wood. Then grab some white paint and use it for a beard that would go around the face as well for the trim of the hat. Now to add the finishing touches; paint a black strip across the bottom of the piece of wood, this will be the belt. Paint a gold square in the middle of the belt to represent the belt buckle. I bet now you’re thinking "what about the eyes?" Just paint two little vertical strips in the middle of the face. For the next step you need a glue gun so you can glue a nose just below the eyes and a mustache below the nose. You can use a wooden button painted white for the nose and white foam board for the mustache. So get everything you need to make your own Driftwood Santa and try it. I hope you will have as much fun as I did making it. Merry Christmas!
