The state of Maine, and the state of New Hampshire were arguing about what they are going to do with the Memorial Bridge. The Memorial bridge is an old and rusty bridge,that stands above the water,connecting to Kittery ME,and Portsmouth NH. It needs to be repaired. The people of Maine did not want to fix it or pay for it, but they wouldn't mind making it be a bridge for walkers and bikers only, and no cars. But, the state of New Hampshire said no, that would be too problematic for traffic. So New Hampshire is going to pay for repairs. The bridge is only going to last for about 2-5 years. It rises up to about 170 feet, when it needs to be lifted. It was dedicated in 1923 to the Veterans of World Ward I. The feet of the bridge have sunken in about 82 feet into the bedrock. The bridge is only one bridge out of the three bridges in the Piscataqua river. The other two are the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge, and the Piscataqua River bridge. In the summer, the bridge goes up about every half an hour to let boat traffic go under. The bridge will soon be repaired and will be safer for traffic going over.

The backround is kind of like a design based on the cover of the book that I read.

I read Inkheart, a fantasy book.

Up to the top right corner is a drawing that I did of the main character, Meggie.

I made a gun and bullet because it is one of the weapons that the use a lot.

I drew a book shelf and a book representing their love for books.

It is based in england, so I brought in a Union Jack flag.

It is set in a fores like place so I made a stick.

This is a chart of what instruments are most popular in a school in Belize. The larger instrument name means that more people play it, and the smaller instrument name means that fewer people play it.

This is my spread sheet for week 20. I am in the black, and gaining a lot of money.

Last Friday, I was at a DI competition. I was there to support my sibling, and my classmates on her team. We were there all day since very early in the morning. In the middle of the day, the team was outside playing under the stands that seat people. We came out and found them and started playing around. After about 10 minutes it started to hail and whip sleet in our faces. It got so bad that we ran behind cars, and then ran back into the building. When we got back inside, we were all red and all wet. But after that, the DI team came in 2nd place and are going to states!

One day I went skateboarding and went down a ramp. It was my first ramp to go down, but I blew it by falling and landing on my leg. I fell on my itouch, but luckily it was fine. My leg killed for a few weeks, but then it healed and the black and blue color went away. Now I am always carefull of my posture on my board.

I am a Celtic warrior. My name is Teave. I have been trying to defeat the Romans, along with my army for so long now. We do not have spears like the Roman warriors have, so we use long stick-like weapons for slashing and cutting. I am a rival with Rome, I do not like them, and they do not like me. Sometimes though, some of the people in my village want to get on with the Romans, and make peice with them. But, others want to take over Rome. We know that we will not dominate the Romans, or even take their land, but we still fight. We wish that things will change and we will fight for honor and victory. I live in the village. The village lays in the middle of a circular gate. The village can hold up to around 500 houses. Some houses have Carnyx's on the top of the doorway. A Carnyx is a sculpture made of bronze, it is usually in the shape of a wild creature. In the center of the village, there is a fire pit. The fire pit is used to melt iron and make armour and weapons. Usually, older and wiser people would stand by the fire and tell stories to the younger people. In the village is also a grain pit. The grain pits are basically under ground places where we can store stuff. Another part of my clothing is a torc. A torc is a piece of jewelry, made out of copper and bronze. Our helmets are put on the top of our heads and are made with leather and metal, to protect our skulls from getting damaged.

We also use small stones to sling at the Roman warriors. We hold tall shields in our hands, that we use to deflect spears that get thrown at us. We steel a lot of weapons from other soldiers, to use against them. Our boots are made of leather, and the Romans boots are made of thick material, for safety. The Roman Armour is more advanced than our armour. Their body armour is called Lorica, which is one of their most important piece of armour they have. They throw spears at us during battles. Their spears are also called Pilum, or Hasta. Their Pilums have a 10 inch long point at the top that is made of iron. The Romans throw them about 90 feet away from them, and try to hit their target. They where Cassis's on the top of their heads. It is a helmet, that is lined with fur. The helmet protects their skull's from getting damaged. They hold up a Scutum, or a shield in their hand's. Their Scutums are made of wood. They used Scutums for protection, and so they would not get stabbed or hit by rocks that we throw at them. They carry a Saccus in their other hand, which is also called a kit bag. The Saccus carries a supply of food and tools to keep them safe for about three days while they travel. The Saccus carries 27 kilos, or 60 pounds.

The Romans live a bit differently from us. The Romans lived in between four walls, about ten feet high, made of terf. The walls are also called Vallums. The entry to the village is by the gates, or Portae. There are four gates in total, one on each wall. The gates are made of wood, and have a tower over the top of it, for gaurds to watch the people enter. Right infront of the walls are Fossae, or ditches. Any intruder who tried to sneek in would fall into the ditches, and get injured. Around the walls are distant slabs, or Miliariums. Miliariums are stones that are put up onto walls to record what events they do. In the village, there is the Balneae (the bath house,) the comanders house (Praetorium,) the workshops (Fabricae,) the head quarters (Principia,) and the Barracks which are also called Centuriae. The Centuriae is where the people sleep. The Romans are a bit different from us, the Celtics. But, we have some similarities.

We learned about our space address. We live in the North-West Hemisphere on the earth, in the sol, in the galaxy, in local, and in another local! My love for you is as big as going to pluto from the sun and back.

We learned about air pressure. When we are in the low's, and have lousy weather, you come and make it high, and make happy weather.

We learned about the fastest thing in the world, which is the speed of light. But, my love for you goes even faster than the speed of light.

We learned about clouds. There are many different types of clouds. There is cyrus clouds, which are very high up in the sky and very thin. There are stratus clouds, long, wide clouds. We learned about cumulus clouds, big, puffy clouds. Also nimbus cloud, which are storm clouds, and even fog. Fog is infact a low to the ground, type of fog. When I am under a nimbus cloud, you come and clear up the bad weather.

Roses are red, violets are blue, 1 million light years come no where close to how much I love you.
