CHALK FOR PEACE

2009-10-02T19:31:00.000-07:00

On September 21st, a small but energetic group of Bodwell students took chalk in hand and wrote messages of love, friendship, peace and multiculturalism during a bright and sunny lunch break.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama optimistically calls the 21st century "The Century of Compassion." How can we further promote this ideal?

Happy Canada Day!!!

nina's seeds

2009-02-04T13:08:00.004-08:00

My name is nina. I planted carrot. Some of my carrot I plant #1 has so many seeds.(maybe 5 seeds),a little water and so much soil. And some #2 seeds have so much water ,a little soil and a little seeds.(maybe 2 seeds). I predict that #1 with so many seeds , a little water and so much soil to will grow faster.
Today , I observed my seeds, there is no growth on the first weekend. Because i usually forget to give my plants some water. I think sometimes, I give my plants so much water ,so my plants do not grow. I think my plants will die.

Hello this is Jonathan again!

Today is November 11 a public holiday in Canada. It's known as "Rememberance Day", a day to pay tribute to Canadian soldiers who fought in wars.

Today's Weather Report:

Date: November 11
Time: 2:00pm
Temperature: 9 Degrees Celcius
Current Conditions: Light rain
Wind strength: 15km/h
Wind direction: East

The light rain today has contributed to colder temperatures not just outside but indoors as well. I decided it would be good to get some work done and then get some rest. The chilly weather also gave me a running nose which I hope to recover from soon. That's my day today! See you soon!

2008-11-09T17:20:00.000-08:00

Hello!

This is Jonathan Ho from Singapore. I was actually born here in Canada in Edmonton, but grew up in Singapore since then. I just returned here a year ago to complete my High School studies and might come back for University in the future. Something interesting about me; I actually had an operation due to my appendicitis when I was 5 and it left a 2-inch scar close to my lower abdomen.

Date: November 9th
Time of taken weather: 4:00pm
Temperature: 12 Degrees Celcius
Current Conditions: Partly cloudy
Wind Strength: 7km/h
Wind Direction: Southeast

How the weather has affected me today?
The comfortable temperature today has allowed me to dress without much linen. Usually though I would have to put on a long sleeved shirt or a jacket. The cloudy and dark sky has made me tired and I was able to take an afternoon nap. Maybe it was also partly because I did not sleep much on Saturday night when I was at a friend's place. This week, the weather has been the usual Vancouver winter weather. It gets dark early and rains every now and then. That's it from your friend thousands of miles away. I'll post once more soon. (:

Hello, this is Erika Kikuchi again!!

Something interesting about me: I came to Bodwell because when I was grade 12 in Japan, Bodwell Basketball teams came to my high school, and we had a match. After the game, we had dinner together, and I and one of player from Bodwell had interesting conversation about my dream which was go another country and study English. Then, they game me chance to come here! Isn't it good story? =))

Anyway, I report today's weather report.

Date: Mon 03 Nov 2008

Time: 10:40

Temperature (Celsius): 8℃

Current Conditions: Light rain and Showers

Wind: 24 km/h

Wind direction: Northwest

How did the weather impact my life today =))

When i took a shower this morning, I couldn't open the window because it was rainy outside; so shower room was so humidity. Also, outside was so cold this morning. I forgot to bring my scarf, so i was frozen. However, during the class, it was not that cold anymore. I was wearing school-polo-shirt with no sweater on, but i was all fine with it. I didn't need any jacket or anything. After practice, when we went to outside, it was really cold; but there was no rain which was very good. It's getting colder and colder these days. I hope it won't be so cold.

Hello everyone, this is Erika Kikuchi from Japan.

I've been here just one year so far.

I came here to play basketball, so I really like playing basketball. I'm sure that everyone knows this...lol

Also, reading books is my favorite things to do. Now, I'm reading Harry Potter (the last one) every night before I go sleep.

My home stay is in richmond, so I go to school by car everyday. This morning, it was kind of warm with no rain, so I didn't need to wear Bodwell sweater underneath my favorite maroon color USC jacket. On the way going school was quite dark, but it wasn't cold as usual. During the class time, it was quite warm, definitely warmer than recently days; so i didn't wear my scarf in the school today. After school, I had a training at Level 10 Fitness Club. It was rainy outside, and colder than midday. When I finished, it was still rainy outside. It was pretty warm through the day.

I hope it will be nice and warm day tomorrow.

**This picture had taken just before I put here. This is from downtown to North Vancouver.
