My New School! Cassandra Public School!
My schools name is Cassandra P.S.
My name is Rakin Mohammed and I’m in grade 4. This year I’m going on a bus to go to school. Cassandra is my new school. Last year I went to Vitoria village.

At Cassandra I have a friend named Veroonen who was from my old school. He went on my bus. (Only on the first day of school.)

My teachers name is Madam Mallet. I’m in extended French program. Bonjour. In the morning we speak French and in the afternoon we speak in English. (I’m starting to understand some French.) Some of my friends at school are Tommy, Jay, Veroonen and Milton. I forgot to include Basil. They use to sit in my table. My new table is with only Veroonen, Sydney and Nadia.

When it rains at lunch we watch a movie. Last time it rained we watched Tarzan.

At my bus I have one friend named Areon. Well my bus drivers name is Heather. Sometimes I do talk to the other guys but we always don’t talk.

At Cassandra outside there is something called a nature garden? It has many plants. There are some plants called burs that make you itchy. (Some people in the classroom came in with some on them. The person that had the burs and put them on the carpet. A class mate named Tatiana said not to put them on the carpet, people will get the infection.)

At school there is a tiny hill. One thing, outside the nature garden is a huge park which is off of school property. And before the nature garden there is a tiny forest which we are allowed to go in which was called the outdoor classroom.

My bus drops me of at my old school Vitoria village P.S and picks me up so I can still see my old school. Well I’m going to play tennis with my dad and brother.

My gym teacher’s name is Mr. Adams; my music teacher’s name is Mr. Won.
And my library teacher’s name is Mrs. Divine.
Those are my teacher’s names. And the principles name is Mr. David Hawker Bulosky.


We also have a very, very, very big running field. Also there is a little girl that is in our bus and we’ve already made a seating plan.

So that’s almost all of the things about my school and bus.
Bye, Au revoir.

My trip to New York!

We went to New York last summer vacation (2010). My friends live there so we decided to go to New York as our vacation and it was my first time going to U.S.A.
To get to New York we took the Mega bus and we had to cross Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and New Jersey.

My trip to New York as far as I remember was in 2010 in June. At New York we stayed at my friend’s house with my little brother, my mom, and my dad.

Once we got to New York I was very excited to see many things as the Statue of Liberty and eventually we had gone there and I knew many famous movies and events took place there like the movie Spiderman and Home alone.

One place we went was to the Natural History of museum, there we saw a bunch of dinosaur bones (my first time!) and sculptures of animals (not real). There were also some ancient Chinese armor and decorations, which was very exciting.



The next thing I will talk about is The Statue of Liberty. At the ferry docking station I saw people singing songs for money, also we had to take a ferry to get to the place where The Statue of Liberty is. The Statue Liberty is a statue that shows freedom to U.S.A. The statue is a lady holding the torch in one hand and a book in the other hand. It is a huge statue. It is placed on an island, a little further than New York (that’s why we had to take the ferry). First I played with my cousins and next we had a good lunch there. After that we went to the store and returned home.

We also went to the Manhattan Bridge to cross the river. We also saw the empire states building once but unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to go there.

Finally we went to Central Park which was a nice park and they had a little river and a small beach place and there were rocks that I climbed (Everyone else took the path.) we also saw a bunch of turtles!

That’s pretty much my adventure at New York!
