# 46 Christmas

Christmas at Lougheed is the best experience!  There is a warm and magical feeling when you see the lights and decorations and when everyone is joyful, happy and excited. The best part is when our class does Secret Santa and everybody is lively and restless. The part when your classmates exchange gifts with each other...the moment when you get your present! You slowly peek and unwrap it. You gaze at your present surprised and happy. At the end you love your present and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

AWESOME!

# 42 DPA

Daily Physical Activity (DPA) is the best time of the day. You get to play a game with your class or alone, but no matter what it's great!

All that pleading and saying, "Please we are all done our work." and the "Please we'll be good." finally pays off and we get to go and play in the great outdoors for 20 or 40 minutes. While you are playing with your friends you start to think. " This is...

                                                                        AWESOME!"

Caitlyn 709

Oh no! The basketball popped. The soccer ball is stuck on the roof.
The next day, walking into the classroom you find a box filled with new sports equipment. Yay!
Then DPA!

AWESOME!

Donneal 710

We have DPA every day and you get to play soccer, basketball and four square.

AWESOME!

Parteek 710

We have DPA a lot. We get fresh air and we play sports and it is entertaining. All of the energy in us gets out in 40 minutes of refreshing freedom.

AWESOME!

# 41 The Joy of Lockers

http://www.flickr.com/photos/52614599@N00/2767188620

The locker is much more than a confined rectangular box built from metal. It is the first place you and your locker partner meet after the weekend.
It is a place where you know your personal belongings will be kept safe.
After a bad day you know you can take out your anger on it. The best part of all, it doesn't fight back.
Even on the first day of school you build a close bond with it because you decorate it as a miniature version of your room.
It is also the last place you look for something you lost.
On your birthday it changes to a giant birthday card that your friends decorate.
YES the locker is all this in one!           

AWESOME!

# 40 Going Digital

One thing I find great about Lougheed this year is that we now have carts full of brand new laptops for each grade to use. I love how most of them are either bright blue or a close to turquoise colour. I f\ ind that colour very pretty. I also think that it is good now that instead of booing the computer lab we can use the laptops. It also gives us a chance to type most of our work up rather than writng it. Also it just feels cool using them.

AWESOME!

# 39 Strange and Unfamiliar Things

Experiments, dissections and explosions all wrapped up in one subject...SCIENCE!
You get to learn about strange and unfamiliar species and you find out about the neat stuff of the human body and it's systems. You can perform observations and go on exciting and entertaining field trips.

AWESOME!

# 38 Taking Trips

http://www.flickr.com/photos/17876035@N03/2237356725

It's so much fun to go on field trips. They teach you something and you have a good time. I enjoy going on a field trip to learn. I remember what I learn there, especially  science trips when we go out of school a nd do experiments. There are so many fun ways to learn.

AWESOME!

Ramneet 709

Going on a field trip with your friends and class is just awesome. I like going to different places and having fun with your friends and just joking around.

After a long hot day during the summer going to the splash pad would be really nice! You just bring your extra clothes and your teacher takes your whole class out to the splash pad. The nice cold water falls on you on such a hot day. Having a splash pad near the school is really AWESOME!!

Twenty-five students in Ms Cherian's 603 class have worked hard in the past days to create and collect gifts for children in poorer countries.
Twelve beautiful gift boxes are almost ready for delivery to Operation Christmas Child.

AWESOME!

# 35 New Nets

Have you ever wanted new soccer nets? Is it because when you are playing soccer the pylon "nets" are too small? Is it because when you score a goal it goes too far since there is nothing to stop the ball?
But what if there were soccer nets with mesh? It would make your life much easier and won't waste your precious recess time. T
Soccer nets with mesh! That is going to happen soon!

AWESOME!

Do you have a music room in your school? There are two music rooms at Lougheed, one is vocal and the other is  instrumental. You can play like a rock star in a concert, drums clashing, guitars singing and pianos dancing. All of this playing together to make beautiful songs. You play out your frustrations and get to express your feelings. Your originality is here where you play like the wind.

AWESOME!

#32 Getting Grades!

Have you ever had a time when you worked hard on a project and you got the mark you deserved? When my teachers give me projects to work on, it's fun because I love projects. It's also fun because the purpose of the project was to learn something. Then you write it on a clean pieces of paper with different coloured pens and it looks cool. Finally you give it to the teacher and the teacher responds, "Thank you" and it means so much to me.

AWESOME!
