A cottage in the English countryside sounds delightful. I have been to London three times but the closest I have gotten to Liverpool is Manchester. I would really like to visit Liverpool someday. Please let me know what some of the highlights are for you.

Hey guys so I arrived in England yesterday and I'm very tired because it's 8 hours ahead of Canada. I think it's around 9:00am for you guys but it's 4:00pm for me. Today we visited Liverpool and did some shopping and tommorow we are going to Chester, then the next day we are sight seeing in Liverpool which I'm very excited for, on Thursday we are going to London and going to Buckingham palace and the wax museum, and much more. Then on Friday we go to North Wales to one of the biggest castles in the world called Conwy which I looked up and looks amazing! On the weekend we are visiting black pool and there is the biggest amusement park in England. I don't know what we are doing after that but I'm very excited.

Sounds like a wonderful itinerary. When I am in London I feel like I am in the middle of a Harry Potter movie, especially the scene where he travels on the knight bus. You will also love the castle in Wales. It's spectacular.

You are right. Things do happen for a reason. We enjoyed having you as a part of our class for most of the year. We also enjoyed hearing your updates throughout term three. In June, we included you on our underwater wall and in our yearbook. So you were a part of our farewell grad after all! Have a great time in high school Athena,

Today somebody decided to use our blog in an attempt to cyberbully people from our class. Thank you to everyone who reported it and stood up against this criminal behaviour. Cyberbullying is illegal and so is impersonating someone else online. I have deleted all the inappropriate postings along with any replies. Sharing about special experiences such as camping trips and locks in Liverpool are always welcome on this blog. Inappropriate comments meant to be hurtful to others are never welcome. Please participate appropriately or find something better to do with your summer than sexually harassing others on-line. If this behaviour continues, I will have no choice but to report it to the police so they can conduct an investigation to find the source of these postings.

Lucky you! Paris is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Hopefully you will get to go up the Eiffel Tower and cruise down the Seine River. They both give breathtaking views of the city. The Arc du Triumphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and The Louvre are pretty impressive as well. And you absolutely must try ordering something in a French cafe or restaurant!

Try ordering in FRANCAIS! I think we know a whole bunch of french especially ordering food that you can order like we did in class. It'll be fun!

Hey Athena!!! I saw you too!! but I didn't know if you saw me. Vietnam caught on fire you know! Their barbeque had chicken or something on the grill roasting then the flame got huge and black smoke went to the top of the tent. Then someone tried to throw a metal chair to cover it and stop it but it slid off the grill then someone else got a hose and put it out. The police were just coming after it was put out. What places to you go to??? I really like the Ukranian perogies! They were delicious!!! What was your favourite new food that you tried? I really miss you!!!

Hey guys so england was a blast and I had a lot of fun. I love reading all the comments to see what you guys are doing for the summer, all the stuff sounds amazing. Sometime in August my mom is going to be taking me and my brother to Arizona because we love the really hot weather there. Atleast it's not a 9 hour flight like how england was only 2 and a half hours which will go by really fast. Hope the summer is going extremely fun for all of you guys! 😃

Hello everybody. Greetings from Anchorage Alaska. I just wanted to share a crazy experience I had yesterday. I was in my hotel room on the 21st floor. At 6:35 pm the ground started to shake and our room started to sway from side to side. It was a 6.3 magnitude earthquake! The epicentre was 120 miles to the south but we sure felt it. The building shook for about 2 full minutes. Nothing was broken and nobody was hurt. Earthquakes are common here so buildings are built to handle them. Nevertheless it was a humbling experience. I am kind of glad to be coming home today. I hope everyone else is having a great summer wherever you are spending it.

Hi Hagrid. Wow! That must've been pretty scary for everybody. Have you heard about Napal's earthquake? Ut was around April or May. I can't really remember. My old class, in May. We studied all about earthquakes. It was almost everyday we studied earthquakes. I hope you have a great and safe summer Hagrid!

Really??!! Wow!! Thank goodness no was hurt! Just on the news today they said somewhere off the coast there was an earthquake with a 4.3 magnitude... I didn't hear whether anyone got hurt or anything was broken. Alaska always reminds me of a movie called Big Miracle (based on a true story too) but it happens all the way at Point Barrow in the north. A family of whale got stuck behind a gigantic wall of ice and the ground is frozen over so there aren't any breathing holes for them to get air. Anyways, I hope you had an amazing time in Alaska (My dad always wanted to roadtrip up there and I want to go too!) Did you ever see the Northern Lights while visiting???

Alaska is pretty amazing. Unfortunately we could not see the northern lights this time of year. The sun hardly sets at all in the summer in Alaska. It starts to get a bit darker around 11:00 pm but it is still pretty light out. The opposite happens in the winter. The sun only comes up for a couple of hours every day. That's the best time to see the northern lights. We got to experience the land of the midnight sun instead.

You won't believe what I just saw on the news! So someone in Dorval Quebec designed an area of a park there to look like Bilbo's Hobbit Hole complete with Smaug on top it! It looks awesome!! There are flowers all around and it looked amazing and it reminded me of you guys since we all read the Hobbit and went to the movies together. Here is a link to a website and a video showing you the garden. http://globalnews.ca/video/2143050/montreal-gets-a-hobbit-themed-garden Also everything was handmade and some items like Smaug's wings are out of reused/ recycled materials.
