Frederick is going around in search of a chest plate for his clockwork man. While wandering the streets, Frederick catches a glimpse of Mrs. Treeless, the woman in charge of an orphanage Frederick had been in before becoming apprenticed to Master Branch, which reminds him of the awful memories he had at the orphanage.

Later, he finds a coal chute, perfect for the chest plate, and sneaks it out of a coal yard.While he sneaks out, he lies about his father being O'Malley.

Star Girl Personal Response

The story picks up four years later with the arrival of an eccentric new classmate, Susan Caraway, at Leo’s high school. Susan goes by the name Stargirl, and her behavior is unusual. Teens at Mica Area High School prize conformity above all else, but Stargirl seems not to care what anyone else thinks of her. She comes to school in strange outfits—kimonos, buckskin, 1920s flapper clothes, and pioneer clothing with no makeup. During each class period she decorates her desk with a tablecloth and flowers. She dances in the rain and strums a ukulele every day during lunch while singing "Happy Birthday" to kids she has never met. She attends strangers’ funerals and cheers for both teams during sporting events. Her behavior is so unusual that at first the student body does not know what to make of her. Popular student Hillari Kimble declares that Stargirl is a fake, and speculation and rumors around. Hillari orders Stargirl not to sing to her on her birthday, Stargirl keeps her promise—she sings Hillari’s name, but directs the song to Leo and mentions that she thinks he is cute. Leo gradually becomes intrigued by the mystery of Stargirl, following her after school and passively observing her odd actions and the student body’s reactions. Though at first rejected by most of the highschoolers, Stargirl gains a measure of popularity by joining the cheer-leading squad. Students begin to mimic her behavior, and at lunch she no longer sits alone. Her antics on the squad spark a boom in audience attendance at sporting events. Leo privately celebrates the outburst of individuality taking over the school, even though his own shy demeanor keeps him from participating.

Mains Stars Holland Christmas

 For most children in The Netherlands, the most important day during December is 5th December, when Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) brings them their presents!
St. Nicholas' day is on the 6th December, but in Holland, the major celebrations are held on the 5th December. The name Santa Claus comes from the name Sinterklaas.
On the morning of St. Nicholas' Day, Sinterklaas travels to a city or town in The Netherlands, wearing his red bishop's robes. He travels with his servants called 'Zwarte Pieten' ('Black Peters'). When Sinterklaas and the Black Peters come ashore from the boat, all of the local church bells ring in celebration. Sinterklaas then leads a procession through the town, riding a white horse. If he visits Amsterdam, he meets the Queen in the Palace.

St. Nicholas' day is on the 6th December, but in Holland, the major celebrations are held on the 5th December. The name Santa Claus comes from the name Sinterklaas. On the morning of St. Nicholas' Day, Sinterklaas travels to a city or town in The Netherlands, wearing his red bishop's robes. He travels with his servants called 'Zwarte Pieten' ('Black Peters'). When Sinterklaas and the Black Peters come ashore from the boat, all of the local church bells ring in celebration. Sinterklaas then leads a procession through the town, riding a white horse. If he visits Amsterdam, he meets the Queen in the Palace. On December, 5th children leave clogs or shoes out, by the fireplace or sometimes a windowsill, and sing Sinterklaas songs. They hope that Sinterklaas will come during the night with some presents. They also believe that if they leave some hay and carrots in their shoes for Sinterklaas's horse, they will be left some sweets. They're told that, during the night, Sinterklaas rides on the roofs on his horse and that a 'Zwarte Piet' will then climb down the chimney (or through a window) and put the presents and/or candy in their shoes. Children are told that the Zwarte Pieten keep a record of all the things they have done in the past year. Good children will get presents from Sinterklaas, but bad children will be put in a sack and the Zwarte Pieten take them to Spain for a year to teach then how to behave! Dutch tradition says that St. Nicholas lives in Madrid, Spain and every year he chooses a different harbour to arrive in Holland, so as many children as possible get a chance to see him. Every town in Holland has a few Sinterklaas helpers, dressed the same as Sinterklaas who help give the presents out. (and sometimes you might one see one Zwarte Pieten with Sinterklaas!)

For my random acts of kindness I took care of my baby cousin so my aunt could have some relaxation time I made my mom a cup of tea in the morning when she was in bed and I helped my cousins carry her bags when she came.

Main Stars Recite a poem

I decided to do my poem study on A.A.Milne

A. A. Milne was born in Hampstead, London to parents John Vince Milne, who were Scottish
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was recruited into Military Intelligence to write propaganda articles for MI 7b between 1916 and 1918. He was discharged on 14 February 1919, and settled in Mallard Street, Chelsea.
After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934),
Milne married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913. They were expecting a baby girl in 1920, when the baby was born a boy, he was named two names Christopher Robin Milne


Yes Christopher Robin was his son not a made up character in Winnie the pooh
here is a link to one of his poems that I really like.

My Cemetery poem

Cemetery Poem

Walt: Use exciting vocab

I was walking in the cemetery

When a thought occurred to me,

Thousands of people laid her to rest

Its quite sad but picturesque,  

If my time on this earth had ended

I would have would like to have my life presented,

Buried with my family

Or cremated and thrown out to sea,

Even though my family will be sad

I want them to know that I’ll be glad,

That One day we will reunite

And I will watch over them in the night,

And now I awaken from my dream

I'm standing in the cemetery,

Looking upon a grave

Where my family will always stay.

Life becomes more difficult for Greg and Rowley when their school bus is "rezoned" and they have to walk to and from school.

They have conflicts over Greg wanting to stay inside and watch TV on Saturdays and his dad stealing his school snacks. Eventually his dad makes him sign up for rec league soccer. At first he rides the bench, but becomes the starting goalie when the other goalie is injured.

Room 11 Time Capsule

The Real art Roadshow

Today Room 11 went to the Real Art Roadshow which is a gallery inside a truck and it has so many pieces of art they travel all around the west coast and other places and they go to schools and show them the art work.

 When I first walked in there I was amazed there was so much art work and it was all so cool. Our gallery guide Sue told us somethings about some of the pieces she said there was about 70 maybe a bit more bits of art and I was really fascinating to learn some the history behind some really cool bits of Art for example there was one piece called shark in a blanket and that piece was made for a tribute to somebody's father who was a fisherman and the boys father would take him out fishing and when the weather got cold he would rap the boy and himself up in a green checkered blanket and so when the father died the son made a sculpture of a hammer head shark and then he rapped it up in a blanket because that was one of his most outstanding childhood memory's. 

My favourite piece of art was the one called 30 bits of silver and It had some good history behind it because it was a very cool thing to see it had 30 silver tokens or coins on a long bit of black string and the coins were  use as money in china and in the olden days you did not
