My School
Ronita-> Spring in Algonquin Park: Central Ontario, Canada. Algonquin Park is a very large wilderness park. In the picture is my Canoe.



This is a picture of Deer Park Public School (if you scroll sideways you can see more) and one of the two playgrounds. Deer Park is both a junior and senior school meaning it goes from kindergarten all the way up to grade 8. For grade 7, many kids from other schools come to Deer Park and stay for grade 7 and 8. I think there is something about how the grade 7 and 8 classes are orginized in another groupmates section. This is a picture of a part of my neighborhood, which is pretty near the school. As you can see it is fall which is a beautiful time of year. This is a picture of the ravine that runs past my school. The ravine goes through a lot a Toronto. In some parts there are very exellent bike paths. This is a picture of the front doors of Deer Park. These aren't really used by students. I'm not quite sure what the design above is, and i've never actually really tried to understand for the 10 years I've been here... As you can see some classes overlook the front of the school while others over look the back.

This is Ontario's national flower, the Trillium. It has three white petals and large green leaves. It can be found in most places that have the kind of climate as Canada.

This is a picture of the turf. (Dont mind the happy faces just making sure that the close by faces are covered :D ) This is where people "hang out" during lunch, and before and after school. Deer Park got the turf about 1 or 2 years ago. _

Emily-> I go to Deer Park, here is a picture of the front of it, but we do not enter here, we enter at the back where the field is (the turf). Deer Park is a public school and goes from kindergarten-grade 8. There are 5 grade 8 classes( 81, 82, and 83 are mainstream and 87 and 88 are gifted) There are 6 classes in grade 7 (71, 72, 73 and 74 are mainstream and 77 and 78 are gifted). Then there is the junior school, grade 1-6 and there is 1-2 classes for each grade and in kindergarten I don't know how many classes there are.

Deer Park is one of many schools that is part of the Toronto District School Board. This is a picture of everyone who participated in cross-country this year, it is in front of the school. It was actually taken right after the finals which were held in Etobicoke.

Ria's This is a picture of the back of my school. You can see a little bit of the turf on the left side. There are about 450 students attending Deer Park, from kindergarten to grade 8. Deer Park has a library, a gym, a pool and lots of classrooms (of course).



This is Deer Park's swimming pool. Every class in the school has swim here once a week (i think). Usually swim is a lot of fun but sometimes when we do laps it is boring.

This is one of the enterances to our school. This is mainly the Grade 7 enterance, and the grade 8's enter from the other side of the school.

My Community
Emily-> I was not able to get the pictures of my community on my computer so instead I will show you where I spend a lot of my time.... at the U of T pool for my practices... ( some of them) and a lot of my meets are at the Etobicoke Olympium

Some pictures of places in my community.... This is the school down the street from me, UCC which is an all boys school.

This is Castle Loma which is an old castle in Toronto which is near by in my community.t Here is a picture of the ravine. Here is a picture of one of the many street cars in Toronto.

Ria's- This is the view from my living room. I live really high up, so the view is fabulous. I chose this picture because you can see my community.

My City
Emily-> Here is a picture of Toronto at night by the lake (ontario)

Here is a picture of Toronto from the sky. I think this looks quite cool, but not as cool as the other picture, the one above at night.

Here is a picture of one of the streets in Toronto at night.

This is a picture of the CN tower. Ria also has a picture of it with many facts....

These are the Toronto Islands, if you look you can see that there are many buildings, which are mostly clubs--sailing clunbs and centre island.

This is a birds-eye veiw of the sky dome which is now called the Rogers centre. Many baseball games are held there for the blue-jays. The dome can close, it does when it rains.

Ria's- This picture is the Toronto Eaton Centre, which is my favourite mall to shop at. I chose this picture because it represents the everyday life of peole who live in Toronto, and how big the mall is.

This is the CN Tower at night. The shorter (green) building beside it is the Skydome, though now called the Rogers Centre. At the Skydome there are many baseball games and other events that are held there. Behind the CN Tower, there is downtown Toronto. The CN Tower is now the second tallest free standing structure in the world, but it was the tallest for about 30 years and just got defeated last month. Anyways, the CN Tower is still magnificent and did you know that it gets struck by lightning around 30 times a year!

My Country
Emily-> This is a picture of Canada's Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario. Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

This is a picture of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia.



This is a picture of Prince Edward Island which a very small province in Canada.

This is a picture of a maple leaf, this our national symbol, it is in the centre of Canada's flag.

This is a picture taken in Nunavut, Nunavut is in the very noth of Canada and only most recently joined Canada.

This is a picture of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Canada Day, July 1.



This a picture of lake Louise in Banff.

Ria's--

This picture is of a beautiful sunset in Nova Scotia. The water in the background is the atlantic ocean. I chose this picture because it represents what Canada's beauty is like.



This is a picture of a moose, an important animal in Canada. This was also taken in Nova Scotia, where we saw the moose while we were on a hike. I chose this picture because it shows the wildlife of Canada.



This is a picture of Niagara Falls. The Falls are very beautiful and one of the 7 wonders of the world. If you can see, there is a boat just by the cloud of mist, and that boat is the "Maid of the Mist." This boat takes passengers almost all the way into the falls, and you get very wet. I chose this picture because it is symbolic to Canadians because it is one of the 7 wonders of the world.

My School
Secondary School Padre Alberto Neto

My school is in Queluz, I'm a good student, because the school is almost perfect! It's a nice school where we have privacy and we have liberty to do what we want! Lol, just joking!

I live in Queluz, a nice place to live I think... We don't have many monuments here just the Queluz' Palace. The kings lived there in the XV century.

This is the best Queluz' monument! The "Queluz' Palace" The Kings lived here on the XV Century.

My Country
The closest translation possible to this monument is "Jerónimos Monastery". This is my favourite monument in Portugal, because we can see the water, the sky, the rocks, and the "Castel of Almorol"... We can see so much beautiful things like the natural elements, a good place to visit. This is the best place to make holidays in Portugal... This is Algarve a city of the south of Portugal, where are many tourists making holidays because Algarve has many beachs.

It's cool... Portugal is a good place to live... It doesn't have the beautiful things of Canada like the Niagara falls, it doesn't have so big shops.. but I think I prefere live in Portugal because I was born here and my life is here... The people here is nice and we help each other when it's necessary!
