Speeches

It’s that time of year again, for Angela and Claudia it means speech time. This is Angela’s last speech for elementary school. Her topic this year was World Mysteries. Claudia chose The History of Monopoly as her topic. Both girls advanced to the gym from their classes.

Unfortunately they only gave one days notice on who was going to the gym, so neither Susan or I could make it. Angela placed second in the intermediate speakers, however the boy who won is going to Mexico this week so since he cannot make the Family of Schools finals, Angela gets to go in his place.

Congratulations to both Claudia and Angela for a job well done!


Soccer Photo of the Week

Angela’s team won their soccer game 6-3, this was either the 5th or 6th goal, the goalie didn’t have a chance, but made it look good. I like the photo because you can see the ball bulging the twine at the back of the net.

Goaaaaal!

Congratulations after a well played game.

Another victory!


Angela’s Shutout Half

Thursday night was Angela’s league game, there were only 9 girls at the game, so there was a lot of room and running. Angela played goalie the first half and held the other team scoreless.

Here she is making one of her two saves.

She has a good drop kick and can get it down the field, on this one she got an assist on their second goal. They ended up winning 3-0.

Soccer Practice

We headed over to the school Sunday night to give Claudia some practice in goal. This week she has to play net for one half of her game.

Soccer Season – Angela

Angela and Claudia are well into their soccer seasons. The season got off to a soggy start with game cancellations due to the wet field conditions. Things have dried out and their teams are doing pretty good. Here are a few photos from Angela’s game on Thursday.

Angela

Angela is playing defence again this year. Earlier in the spring she played on the school co-ed soccer team. It was a cold wet day for the school tournament and it was the last set of games on the city fields for about two weeks. The city closed all fields due to the excess rain back in May.

Angela

Angela isn’t afraid to get in there and mix it up. Notice the girl on her team in the background pulling her hair out of her face. If you go back to the first picture above she’s doing the same thing.

After only winning one game last year, this year has been a little more enjoyable, Angela’s team is 2-0-2. Her coaches this year coached the winning team from last year.

Angela’s Soccer Season

Angela is also playing soccer this summer. Her season has started, but it is the same night as Guides. She only has one more meeting and then she will start. She tried out and made the Intermediate Co-ed soccer team at school. They didn’t have enough grade 7/8 girls, so they opened it up to the sixes. They had their one-day family of schools tournament on Thursday and they made it to the semi-finals before bowing out. They ended up tied for third out of 12 teams. Congratulations Angela!


Happy Birthday Angela!

The day has finally arrived, after a countdown for the last month, Angela was up early this morning.

Angela and Chloe

This is cake number two, number three will come on the weekend when she has a couple of friends over from guides.

Way to go Angela!

Angela is also going on to the gym for the speech arts competition. Her and Claudia will be in the same division. Angela’s speech is on genetically modified foods. Unfortunately I’m in Newfoundland next week and will miss them. Their speeches are on Thursday morning. Good Luck to both of them.

Angela on Streetview

Angela discovered that she and some of her friends were on Googlemaps Streetview. Of course my first response was why she wasn’t walking on the sidewalk?

Volleyball Season

It is junior girl volleyball season, both Angela and Claudia tried out for the team. Claudia didn’t make the team, but she got some good experience for the next two years. There were no grade fours who made the team. This is Angela’s last year as a junior.

Angela

This was their first game of their four game season.

Angela

Unfortunately they lost the first game of the season, 2 sets to 1. Angela played well and enjoys the game.
