March Break

March break
This week was a slow week because it was our first week back to school because of March break. Our March break began Friday March 9th untill Sunday the 12th of March. The break lasted 9 days. The most popular places to go during the break was to Moncton and Florida. There was also a large number of people who stayed home playing in the snow and renting movies. March break was our last holiday until next Friday. Next Friday is a holiday because there is a parent teacher meeting. This Friday we will be receiving our report card so every one is pretty nervous and anxious to see our marks

On Tuesday the 14th of March we had a snow day. We had a snow day due to the fact that we had 19 cm of snow, thunder and lighting. It was very cold and the roads were very hazardous. Many students were happy to have no school. It was very unusual that we had such a storm because all the snow we had was nearly all gone and it was looking more like spring. Instead of spring we got a storm.

Everyone was wearing their pajamas and the money we raised went to the IWK the hospital for sick children, finally it was Friday. All week the teachers were busy organizing, and planning to take all the kids to sugarloaf. We left from school around 9 o’clock to go skiing, snowboarding, or sliding.

On February 18, Th 2006 our D.M.S. boy’s Basketball team (CONDORS) hosted the provincial championships. There were teams from all over the province.
The first game they won by 23 points so they would only have two games left to become the champs. On February19th they would play the games and then our home team the Condors would become the 2006 boy’s basketball champs. The last game was held at 4:30 pm it was the condors verses the Moncton senators it was a hard game because both teams were very skilled but we won by 4 points . We were all proud of our little school team.

Week of Feb.18/06
Weekly Report

This week has been a very busy week at Dalhousie Middle School. Tuesday, February 14 was the big “love day” (Valentine’s day). Some of the students and especially the staff worked very hard on making a fun and enjoyable afternoon. They prepared a mini dance (sock-hop) and sold little heart shaped candies to the students of DMS. Many kids were on the dance floor, dancing to the beat of the music. It worked out very well.

The staff and parents of the boys DMS basketball team were very busy in organizing the provincials, which will be held in Dalhousie this year on Saturday, February 18 and Sunday February 19. The basketball provincials are the most important event for all of the basketball players. They are the biggest tournament in the whole season. When time comes to get ready for provincials every body is exited, even the parents and staff. Although it takes a lot of time to organize and prepare. Parents, friends and family members come from all over the different cities and towns to support and cheer their town basketball team that they cheered for all year. There is third, second and first place winner. Third and second place winners earn a nice trophy, while the first place winners win a big Banner, which means much more to the players.

So as you can see, this week has been a very busy one and it still isn’t over. I hope you had a nice Valentine’s day.

On the night of February 5, 2006 around 12:00 PM we started to get hail and rain that made most of the roads and sidewalks dangerous to both walk and drive on. Around 5:00pm rain and hail started to freeze over windows of buildings, and cars. It also froze branches on trees, which had made a beautiful scenery, but made the trees very heavy which made the tree branches bend, break and fall off. The hail and the rain eventually froze the power lines and had caused power failure.

First Contact

On Tuesday, Jan. 31, Ron Brown and his grade eight class spoke with our Dutch correspondent in Greonlo, via the internet. Sadly, all the students were out of school, and the “I Meeting” was only audio.
Using the “I Meeting” program, we were able to send pictures and different documents both ways. We al so set a date- Tuesday of next week, Feb. 6. This will allow students to get permission to stay a little later at school, so both classes can communicate. The experimental “First Contact” through cyberspace was successful.

Dalhousie Minor Hockey.
Our town of Dalhousie has a hockey program for all ages. It encourages many boys and girks to meet new people , have fun, and it is a good way to keep in shape.

There are 6 different leaques of hockey: Initiation ( ages 5 and under), Pee Wee ( ages 10 - 12), batom ( ages 12 -14) and the last one is Miget ( ages 14 - and up) There also is a double A team for atom and up. Due to the population of Dalhousie we do not have a triple A team forPee -Wee or Bantom leaques. We can not compete against big citys like Moncton and Frederiction.
If you do not have the right equipment or don't have any equipment Dalhousie Minor Hockey will lend you the equipment that you need.

Dalhousie hosts two major tournaments, one for initiation and for Novice. The name of the tournaments are the Lucien Pelletier Memorial Jamboree . The other tournament is for Pee Wee, it is called the Boyce Fitzpatrick Memorial tournament. These two men had a big influence on minor hockey in our town.

We have just returned back to school after our Christmas and New Year’s holiday. The kids at my school were pretty excited on Monday because we got to see all our friends and talk about our Christmas.

I think if you had the chance to talk to most of us we would say that it was a little hard getting back into the “school mode”. Our Language Arts class was a fun start as we were doing Power Point presentations and plays and skits. Mr. Brown is asking us to teach you about where we live to help give you an idea of what it is like to live in Northern New Brunswick.

Our weather for January is actually pretty mild around -15 celcsius and a low of -2 celcius. However, the weather reporters said that January 23rd is usually the coldest day of the month and this is the day our country is having a federal election; so we might have a new Prime Minister.

On Thursday December 1st was the biggest game of the year . It was such a big event the stadium was full and there was only standing tickets left in the arena. The Rangers were against their rivals St.Arthur . The Rangers had a victory of an 8-5 win.
