Rock Climbing

I love rock climbing why? First of all because it gives you the freedom to climg without getting in trouble unless you fool around. I started climbing 3 years ago climbing off and on before taking a break for about a year. My best friend got me back into it at the end of October. Since then that’s  where you will find me at least six nights a week.  Ahh freedom! The grading system is really complicated for bouldering it starts at v0- and then v0, v0+ v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7 and it goes all the way up to v16 at the moment v16 is the hardest grade, the holds are about 3 quarters of an inch off the wall. I am currently bouldering v6 v7. I have done a v8 but it was relly hard and it took a long time. Now time for the rope climbing grade system it starts at 5.5 then 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 then it goes into 5.10a. tThe letters A B C D tell you what grade of 5.10 it is so it goes 10a 10b 10c and then 10d we usually dont say 5. whatever the grade its just to much to say. Then it goes on to 5.11 and then whatever the lettar grade it goes up to 5.16D at the moment. I climb 5.12ABCD and on a good day 5.13A. My goal is that I can be on the national team for canada and go around the world and do the worlds hardest climbs. And be one of the best climbers in the world. In a few years my best friend Chloe and I would like to go around the world to some place to climb I would like to go to Italy, Spain or Austria.

Inquiry update

There hasent been very much progress on the beans bean number 1 is about 3 4 inches tall number 2 is about 2 inches high and number 3 we put it back in the ground because it was not growing at the state it was at. There is not much progress on the beans with the natrual light no beans a out of the ground yet.

My inquiry

I havent blogged in a long time but I would like to tell you that I have started a new Inquiry my questing is, I wil compare the growing rates of green beans with artificial light and natural light. So far one of the beans have sprouted with the artificial light. I planted the beans with the artificial light on january 26 and the ones wit natursl light on january 28. This is a little bit of the information on the inquiry,

Green beans inquiry

For this inquiry I will find out the growing rates of green beans with artificial light and natural light.

 

January 26/ Wednesday

Today we planted the Green beans at about 5:40pm. I planted 6 beans about an inch apart from each other and an inch deep.

January 28/Friday

We planted the beans at about 3:30pm.I planted 4 beans and inch deep and an inch apart.

It is February 6/Thursday and one of the beans with artificial light sprouted the bean is in the middle of the others and in the front . I have realized how fun planting things and gardaning things is.

Also me and my class are doing a poetry project and my poem is called we wear the masks here is my poem.

We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,– This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be overwise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while     We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise,     We wear the mask!

by Paul Laurence Dunbar
