When you walk down Riverbrook Way, you see very tall evergreen trees, some are even taller than our house. There are not a lot of traffic jams since the street is not very busy. Most of the cars that you’ll see are parked on driveways or on the road. As you walk on the sidewalk you’ll sometimes hear a car, but usually you’ll feel and hear a gentle breeze. It’s normally cold so we wear a hoodie but in summer we don’t. It is very hot and sunny in spring. In the winter the ground is covered in snow as white as sugar, in summer with grass as green as green can be. When you walk by our house you’ll see a large grey rock that feels very bumpy. Near the rock you’ll see a black lamp post that feels very smooth (when there’s no cobwebs on it).

Last week I got to go to the Edmonton Science Centre. I thought it would be just like the Calgary Science Centre, but it wasn’t. You can play with marbles on tracks and tubes. There was a spot where you could make islands out of sand and my Mom made Bora Bora! You can make Lincoln Log houses and see if they stand a shaking foundation. When I saw all this stuff, I really liked it and it was really fun.

How plants grow.

Dig a hole in soft soil and put a seed in the hole. Not the bag of seeds, but take one seed out and put it in the hole. Then cover it back it up with dirt. Then water the dirt where you planted it. Make sure it gets plenty of light so it will grow, but not too much light otherwise it will dry out. You might want to water it three times a day, or maybe four or five. Still make sure it gets plenty of light.

Then after a long time the stem grows up. At first it will be really small but after a while it gets bigger and bigger. Then you start to see petals, not pedals like on a bike, but petals on a flower. Remember, you still keep watering it. When all the petals are out, then you have a flower. But remember, you still water it and let it have plenty of sunshine. Now you have a plant, just make sure there’s no weeds around. That is how you plant a flower and how they grow.
