Connor's Report

I have been having a lot of fun in Florida. Yesterday i went to Sea World, it was fun. I went on a roller coaster called Kraken, it goes 0-65mph (over 100km/hr) in 2.5 seconds and upside down. That's fast in a little car on a track. My brothers and i had a lot of fun because we got to see dolphins, Shamu the ORca Whale. We also got to pet a Stingray and it didn't sting because it's stinger didn't work We also went to Epcot. We went on a ride called Mission space that is a simulator to mars and very cool. Plus we saw a bunch of countries and when we went to Norway we saw Vikings kind of like guys with pony tails and beards. We stood in line for 2 hours and 3 minutes to go on the ride called Soarn, it was cool because it blew the different smells of the things in your face including oranges when you flew over a orange field. Then we went to an extremely colossal fireworks show and not the wimpy ones you can buy in Canada but a huge one like we need a fire department for, it rocked. We saw a huge mushroom cloud it was cool It has been extremely great and awesome days, i couldn't asked for more from my mom and dad that's all for now Connor out

Lillooet Information

Hi! It’s me again Bay going to talk about Lillooet again. But this time it is going to be about why kids enjoy Lillooet so much. Well never seen big clear mountains before head on over cause we got what you want to see. We have local parks and most of all soccer and baseball fields. We have bears and lots of them in the summer. We have wild life. It is so much fun to just walk out of you door and see a bear or a bird or a coyote it is wonderful. Especial when you’re a kid. And we have a beautiful safe lake it is so cool to go have a dip in the summer. Well I hope you enjoyed the blog. Bye for now!Today’s Gym
Today in gym we play dodge ball. Every one wanted to get Dustin out but only Nick got Dustin out. But that was only our warm up. We also did gym Natick’s. We have to do 6 moves (or routine) and we have to present them to the whole class. And that was today’s P.E. It was very fun.

The Mile “O” Cairn

The Mile “O” Cairn was built in 1939 by a local man named Carl Lawrence. The property the cairn sits on was donated to the Village of Lillooet by my great great grandfather Joe Russell. When the cairn was built it had a water fountain on the side and a light on the top. The light consisted of a 100 watt light bulb with a glass covering. In order to turn the light on and off, there was an arm sticking out with a ring on the end that could be pushed up to turn it on, and pulled down to turn it off. It was the only street light in Lillooet at that time.

About 6:00 p.m. every evening my papa, Russell Norton, and his brother Keith would walk down and turn the light on. They had a six foot long stick with a bent nail on the end which they would hook to the ring and push up to turn the light on. They would hide the stick behind the bench by the cairn and when they went home about 9:30 p.m. they would turn the light off and take the pole back home for safe keeping.

After they turned the light out, it was pitch black as there were no other lights around. When Papa’s grandfather (Joe Russell) would see the light go out at night he would say, “the light just went out, the boys are on their way home”.

Our Town Lillooet


Hello my name is Bay I am one of the Cayoosh kidz, I am your Blog writer for this week. Well this week I am going to be talking about our home town Lillooet. It is a very cool little town; we have history here like the gold rush. Isn’t that cool. Many people came here every year. I wonder how many? I am guessing over 2000 people. Also, Sir. Mathew Bagbie came to Lillooet to trial criminals, in hangman’s tree park he hung many people nobody actually knows how many. The people in Lillooet had to cut down the tree because it rotted and was going to fall over any ways. We have a museum down town Main Street and it has a lot of interesting things there and right across the street from the museum is a jade shop with polished and carved jade. Wow now that I think about it Lillooet is really interesting. Oh I almost forgot we have actually just strait across from the Hangman’s tree park there is Chinese rock pilings, Chinese people have a lot of history here in Lillooet they were at gold rush too. Well that’s the Blog for today Bay is out. See you next time hopefully!!!!!

2nd floor hockey game

2nd floor hockey game

Our second floor hockey game was today. It was the Detroit redwings against the Dallas stars. It was 2 to 2 it was a pretty hard game but they had a grade sixer and its only supposes to be grade 4/5 game. Well back to the game I scored 1 goal and my team mate Blake scored a goal. The first goal was an easy one because he had an open net the goalie was on the other side of the net and Blake got a hold of the puck dodged the goalie and its in Blake scores the first goal. And the second goal was by me Dustin I intercepted the pass by Sadie and I was about at the three point line then it slides in the net its another goal and that was all the excitement for our team. Good day to people around the world By Dustin

P.E today




In p.e today we played a little bit of dodge ball. I was with Blake’s, Michaels and a lot more people. Our team won the score was 1 for us and 0 for the other team. I got out twice out of the whole game. The rules for dodge ball are that if you catch a ball one person comes on again. And if you hit the basketball back board you get two people up. It’s not as easy as you think it is. Because some of the other people on the other team are going to be watching you and that’s all about dodge ball. The next thing we played was basketball. It wasn’t as fun as dodge ball but it was o.k. I was with Connors, Michaels and lots more people. Our team won at least I think our team won I think the score was 2 to 0 for our team. Well that’s all about our P.E. for today. Have a good day to everyone around the world.
