The Movie Night

Today at school, we had a movie night. Also, we were selling turkey raffle tickets, which is another fund raiser to help the 5th grade be able to go on our 5th grade trip. And there was a fruit salad and burritoes, and tables and EVERYTHING!! The movie was called the Secret of Kells. I did not like that movie much. It was beautiful artwork, but the end just seemed..... akward. But it was still nice, with me playing around with some of my friends. Overall, I had a blast!!!

The Today Times

I had nothing really interesting to write about, so this blog post is about today.
First, I had a friend over at my house. Her name is Mollie, and we played a website called Pixie Hollow, and another website called lpso,which stands for Littlest Pet Shop...Hmm... I'm not sure about the last one.  I think it might be Online.
Anyway, after the playdate, I did my homework and had a music lesson. Magyk is a really good book!! Anyone who likes fantasy will like this book.
And also, just now I practiced my viola for a REALLY long time. But it is worth it!
That's today, in the Today Times!!

VH1 Save the Music

 On this Monday, PS58 school orchestra is going to the VH1 Save the Music Gala! And I am part of the orchestra!!! Famous people will be there! I'm playing in front of almost 700 people!!!!!
I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo scared!!!
But what an honor! People are paying THOUSANDS of dollars just to see us play! Well, not just us, of course, but our orchestra is fetured on the manual! AHHHHHH I'm so scared!
We have practicing OVER and OVER and OVER, but it's well worth it. VH1 GALA!! VH1 gives schools like mine instruments. They are super awesome to school because they "save" music programs in schools. It's like their job.
I play the viola, and the two songs we are playing are "My Favorite Things" and "Dance of the Tumblers". It's kind of funny that we are playing "My Favorite Things" from the movie "The Sound of Music", when JULIE ANDREWS, the JULIE ANDREWS is going to be there!!!!!!
OMG!!
JULIE ANDREWS is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More Pictures of ME!

I, for some strange reason, am not putting that many pictures of myself, even though it's my blog. So, here are some pictures of ME!!

This is me at my 10th birthday party, about to blow out the candles.





Halloween is AWESOME!!!

Even though I don't like sweets, I still think Halloween is AWESOME. And Halloween WAS awesome. I got SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many Kit-Kats- before I give them all away, I wanna taste one. I bet Kit-Kats are not tasty at all, but still! They LOOK tasty. And that's (for now) enough for me.


Kit-Kat!!!!!

Trip to a CITY Farm!!!

Today, I went to a farm as a school trip. But it was a farm in the CITY!!! And not only that, but the farm is on the top of a building!!! It's a ROOF farm!!! and it was totally awesome!!!
First, when we got there, our tour guide explained how the mounds of earth where the plants grow stay UP when it rains or snows really hard. Turns out, they can grow certian kinds of plants that the roots are so strong, the mounds hold together. Cool, huh?
Then we went and looked at the peas. Our tour guide said we can eat anything off the pea plant-the peas themselves, but also the flower and leaf, petals and all. WOW! I still don't like snap peas, but that is cool!!
They also had two huge compost bins, and bees, and sombody saw a ladybug. And at the end, our tour guide showed us little SUPER spicey red pepper. I don't like spicey stuff, and I don't like peppers so I made my mom try it instead. She said that just putting on her tongue made it BURN!!!
Well, I had a lot of fun on this trip. I hope every trip is just as fun.

THE SHEEP AND WOOL FESTIVAL!!!

Does anyone know about the Dutchess County Fair? Then you should know about the Sheep and Wool Festival! They hold it once a year, at the Dutchess County Fair fairgrounds, and it is all about sheep, wool, llamas, goats, alpacas, and, above all, KNITTING!!! The Sheep and Wool Festival is a knitting heaven!!

Alright. I will first talk about the featured breed, or at least show you a picture. This years featured breed of sheep is.....

 ...The American Oxford!!!

Alright, now that you know that, I MUST tell you about the Leapin' Llama Contest. During the Leapin' Llama contest, llamas and alpacas compete for the hightest and farthest jump. Is it a fast paced competition? Not at all!! A lot of alpacas REFUSED to go over the bar!! It was so funny to watch the owners pushing and pulling, ans even hopping up and down, to try to get them motivated. LOL!!
Pictures will be posted up as soon as they are avalible.

Next, let me just tell you... WHOA!! There were SOOOO many shops!!! It was like, at least ten!! I got some really cool softish yarn that is pink to knit, and a special glass thing that you can put through your sweater or scarf (knitted, of course.) to hold it up or pin something into place. Oh, and also, I got a glass button, red and shiny, a toy alpaca, and the softest teddy bear in the history of all teddy bears that the world has seen. OMG that guy is SOFT!!!!
My mom got some nice black knitting needles, and two rolls of blue yarn. Oh, and a special thing to roll the yarn into balls. You know when you buy yarn, it comes in theese large strands that need to be rolled up into balls of yarn? Well, my mom bought the thing that rolls them. You hang the strands on a sort of circle, and turn a sort of lever around and around, and POOF!! It's all rolled up!!
Oh, and my dad? He did not buy knitting things. As you probably guessed, my dad is not the type of dad to pick up a pair of knittig needles every night. So what did he buy? Cheese!!


More to tell... check it out often for new updates. Also, know that pictures will be on as soon as possible.
Bye for now,
Gabby
