On Monday, January 22, we went to Heritage Park to learn about Canada's history. We learned about the railroad built across Canada. John A. Macdonald wanted to connect the west side of Canada and the east side of Canada. He found a piece of land that the the U.S wanted but so did he. He told the people of the west to come to the land (which was called Rupert's Land) because there were free farms. He also told the people in Europe. He never mentioned the negatives, like the cold weather. A very rich and important person put in the last spike (a spike is a type of nail). When the last spike was put in, a kid photobombed the picture! His name was Edward.He was very bored at his father's farm and he heard about the war in China. He decided to go there on his horse. When he reached Revelstoke, he found out the war was over. Since he was by the railroad, he wanted to get a job. After a few years, when the photo was being taken, he crawled under all the businessmen, popped up and photobombed the whole thing! We had Kid Inventor Day (K.I.D) last Wednesday. We made our own Olympic sport, which was ski jump and bobsled combined. Our vehicles had to jump off a ramp like a ski jump and land successfully. They also had to make a turn without flipping over(like a bobsled). Right now, we are planning to make some adjustments to our vehicles.
