The first picture shows the front of my school. The mural on the front has always been there. Students can use those doors but to come in for class, we line up at the back doors of the school. There are 2 sets of backdoors. One entrance for kindergarten to grade 7 and the second entrance for grade 8.

The second picture is of the back field. The field is not real grass. The grass is called turf and we got it not too long ago. Before, we did not have a field so we would play of asphalt. When my sister was at Deer Park they didn't have a field and she is now in grade 11. They got it some time after she graduated

My School
This is the field at our school. It is not real grass, it's plastic and rubber. Some people think that it is good for the environment because it doesn't need to be watered, but I think that it's bad because they put plastic on the ground, and the rubber gets blown and kicked everywhere. At lunch it gets really crowded and you half to be careful because there are always at least three sports games going on.

This is where I eat lunch. Grade seven and eights are allowed off property for lunch. I am too, but I'd rather stay at school because I don't want to be late. We call this 'The Tree' because it is the only tree in the playground that's not around the little kids playground or on the island. It is near the ravine, but there is alot of garbage down there, It's really sad.

This is a photo of Deer Park's field. It's an artificial turff because there is a parking lot below the field. This is why the school couldn't plant real grass for the field. It was put there a couple of years ago. It feals really cool to play with.

This is a photo of the front of Deer Park. The students aren't allowed to go in through the front. There is another entrance at the back where the field is, that is where we go into the school. Deer Park is a great place to go to school!

My Community
This is Chorley Park, which is right down the street from my house. It is a dog park, and it goes down into the ravine. Once at a family reunion me and my cousins went and played soccer there. It was really fun. It used to be where the lieutenant governer of Toronto used to live there. It would be a huge place to live in.

This is the Rosedale Church. I don't go there for religion, but when I was little I used to take gymnastics classes there. It is also a private school for kindergarten to grade three. It is really big and huge and and beautiful inside. There are about four big stainde glass picture windows, and the altar is huge.

This is a photo of Ramsden Park. It is a public park near my house. In the winter there is a skating rink and in the summer it is a tennis court. There is a nice playground for children, and in the summer there is a waiting pool. There is also a baseball diaamond where people go to play baseball. You can also play with your dog in a certian area of the park. It is a great park to have in my community.

This is a picture of the block across my street. There is a Starbucks Cofee store (which is always busy), a Piza Hut, a Rogers Viodeo store, a corner store called Smoke and Treats, and a tea kwan do center. Many people in the neighborhood go to Sarbucks and many kids go to the tea kwan do centre.

My City
This is the CN tower. It is supposed to be the biggest free standing structure in the world, but apparently there is another one being built in the middle east. I visited the CN tower two or three years ago and I sat on the glass floor. It is in the first bulge from the bottom, and it's really scary, looking straight down to the ground.

This is Osgoode Hall. It's the courthouse in Toronto, where my dad works. It is a really old building, with lot's of statues and pictures of old important people. The library is huge and it has those ladders that slide along the bookshelves, which is really cool. There is security at the big front doors, and it's really formal, but since the guard has to open the door BEFORE they see who it is, it isn't that safe.

This is a photo of Toronto's skyline. The CN Tower (to the left) is the tallest free standing structure in thye world. The SkyDome now called the Rogers Center (the wite dome to the far left behind the appartmnet bulidings) is home to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argonauts. This building can seat the population of PEI (Prince Edward Island) iniside. This photo was probably taken on one of the islands on Lake Ontario near Toronto. There are 2 of them: Wards Island & Center Island.



This is a photo of the Eaton Center. It is one of the main malls in Toronto. In the Eaton Centre there are Canadian geese hanging from the ceilings. There are 4 floors excluding the concourse level. This mall is located in downtown Toronto. It has been here for 30 years. On February 10, 1977 the northern section was built and on August 8, 1979, the southern section was completed. The Eaton Center is a fun place to go shopping!

My Country
This is a map of Canada. We live in Ontario, the big yellow province, that's the most south. I've been to six of the provinces, and I visited all of them during this summer. I went to Quebec, the red province east of Ontario, and the four provinces to the west of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

Summary Paragraph This is a picture of the Canadian flag, It was made the officail Canadian flag in 1965, because the confederation was coming up. It was designed by George Stanly, who died in 2002. The Maple Leaf was not an officail emblem of Canada until 1965, but it was associated with Canada before that. It was used as a decoration when the Prince of Wales visited Canada in 1860.

Here is a list of the provinces & territories from west to east: British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. There are 10 provinces and 3 territories. I have visited 6 proveces out of all 10, and I have never visited any territories.



This is a photo of Lake Louise it in located in Banff National Park, Alberta. Many people come here to ski durring the winter. I went to see Lake Louise last summer. It was really fun, and the lake looked very pretty when the light caught on the water. It was like the lake was sparkling. There is a really big and beautiful hotel on the lake. We didn't stay there though because we were staying with friends.

My School

=Task 2: Thinking=

Task A:


Brainstorm reasons why this picture could be relevant to your country. Make sure you give a reason for your ideas.

That's What the books make us remember. ||
 * **Canada** || **South Korea** || **Portugal** || **New Zealand** ||

 * * My country is a hardworking and a very smart country beause the citizens of New Zealand like to work hard, for example the people who manage the electricity, water and heat, etc. in these companies work hard all day and all night to provide us with those products. The teachers and professors try their best to teach the students and the students learn what the teachers teach them. ||

Task B:
Brainstorm all the attributes for each of your countries. Combine the attributes of your countries and together create a new country with these new attributes. Be as **creative** as you like, as long as you use the **attributes** of all **four countries**. Tell us...
 * where it would be located and why you have chosen this location
 * how big it would be and why you have chosen this size
 * why we should visit your country
 * and what it would look like if we were to fly over it in a hot air balloon.

The territory of Portugal comprises the mainland and the autonomous regions: the Açores and Madeira.
 * **Attributes of Canada** || **Attributes of South Korea** || **Attributes of Portugal** || **Attributes of New Zealand** ||
 * * type your first idea here || * type your first idea here || Portugal is a country located on the Atlantic continental and southwest Europe, in the area west of the Iberian Peninsula and along the North Atlantic. It has a total area of 92,391 km ².

In Portugal mainland, the average annual temperature is 13 ° C in the north and 18 ° C in the south. Inside ranging from 7 th C to 18 ° C. The islands of Madeira and the Açores, due to its location in the Atlantic, are more humid, with a range of temperatures lower. ||
 * * My country is New Zealand and it is located in between Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea. I have chosen this location because no other country as special as New Zealand is located between a sea and an ocean.
 * The size of New Zealand would be 268,680 square kilometres. I have chosen this size because this size will allow alot of residents and alot of houses for people to live in and more hotels and motels so more tourists can come and visit the country and live in New Zealand.
 * You should visit New Zealand because it is clean and green and it is a beautiful and friendly place to live in.You should also visit New Zealand beause New Zealand has many beautiful natural features like the national icon of New Zealand which is the kiwi and the native Kauri and Pohutakawa. The zoo's will definitely amaze you.
