WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!!

We used to live in QLD but now live in NSW.

Hi! My name is Alex. I come from Canada. I am 7.5 years old. I am the second oldest of 5 kids in my family, and we are all living in Australia. 

We will have been here for two years next month. 

I don't really like living in Australia because I miss the snow so much. My favourite thing to do in the snow was to slid down big snow hills on our disc sleds. My mom would push us so we would spin in circles while we were racing down the hill. It was so much fun!


I do have fun here. I am in Scouts. Well actually I am in Cubs, but it is part of Scouts. We go get to play games, do crafts and go to camps, which is fun.

We used to do horse riding, archery, rock climbing and soccer. It was all fun, but we are taking a break from all that right now. 

Now I LOVE to do art.

This is Mdm. Suzie - she teaches us French and Art.

We have a special teacher come in on Fridays to help us learn to do different kinds of art.  






 My feather collection.


I have done a lot of different kinds of things now. I want to try to sell my art one day soon. Any one interested?

Learning about
proper proportions.

 I learned a lot about where things go on the face, head and when drawing full persons. Do you know how many heads fit on a body? I do!!

    It sounds really interesting.
    Have you met any other Canadians there? Do you have an Australian accent?

    1. Hi Austin. I do remember you! How old are you now? I'm 7 and a half. What is a bike rodeo? We just finished growing some grass inside and we are growing crystals right now. My crystals should turn out to be orange . Did you know that if you add food colouring to some plants water they will change to that color... that's how they make blue roses! It works well with celery too.
