Dec.1 Barbara: Paper Box Regina
Earlier in November Mrs. Perrey’s class along with many others worked with Barbara on her latest project, an abstract model of Regina using origami boxes with saying about Regina printed on them. When we went to the MacKenzie Art Gallery we saw the finished piece. It was awesome! Although it was great I was expecting the whole model to be made of the boxes. Only about eighty percent was, while the rest was made from cardboard. I give the model a 4/5 By: Tanner Stengler

Bob Boyer: His Life's Work
Dec.1 Bob Boyer: His Life’s Work
Today Mrs. Perrey’s class and Mr. Parisien’s class attended a tour of Bob Boyer’s life work at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Robert James (Bob) Boyer painted sixty paintings from 1968-2004, when he unfortunately died while dancing at a Pow-Wow. He was born in 1948 in Prince Albert, SK. Bob graduated from the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Education (art) Degree.
At the start of his career, Bob painted landscapes and later moved into Aboriginal Abstract. One of the main symbols of Bob’s work is the abstract horse; a diamond with two E’s, one at the top and one at the bottom. He also used lots of geometric shapes and figures. Out of the sixty paintings in the gallery my favorite was Trains-N-Boats-N-Plains: The Nina, the Santa Maria and a Pinto, painted in 1991. It’s about the Europeans coming to North America and killing the First Nations with the disease, Smallpox.
During the tour we looked at most of the paintings and at the end we got to make our own abstract art. Bob Boyer is an amazing artist! I give his paintings and the tour a 5/5! If you ever get the chance to see his work, GO! By: Tanner Stengler

Regina Youth Ballet
Regina Youth Ballet
Nov. 19 2008
Regina Youth Ballet preformed for St. Gregory and other Regina Catholic schools this morning. It was a very good performance, it lasted an hour and in that time we saw dances, they were all exceptionally great but the few I found stood out were the ones danced to Queen. Classical dance and rock music, the perfect combination! Although the dances were mostly classic there were many out of the ordinary dance moves, some most people wouldn’t even think of. Some of the dances were plane and boring but some were amazing!

Terror From Above
Terror From Above
“Jack,” Doug whispered into his walkie-talkie. “I’m in the stables department, they have me surrounded.” There was no answer on the side; all that was heard was static. Suddenly, a terrifying voice came on, “You’ll never make it out alive.” Doug, scared but still attentive to the voice, listened to what it had to say. There was only static again, but as the static dimmed and the faint sound of a plasma rifle was heard. A blast from the gun and a painful cry, Doug knew it was Jack and he immediately cocked his blaster. He was ready to fight!
This all started nine years earlier when the famous space explorer Buzz Lightyear wondered
into the territory of an unknown species called the Perreys. The Perreys are extremely ugly creatures, but with powerful technology. In the time of the dinosaurs they tried to take over Earth and what the humans thought was a meteor that killed the dinosaurs was really the Perreys ship. With their high powered blasters they extinct the dinosaurs! When they saw Buzz they put a sonar tracking signal on his ship and followed him back to Earth, hoping to over take the planet once more. When Buzz landed there was a big crowd of people cheering him on! Just as he took off his helmet, a plasma laser pierced his skull. The crowd began to scream in terror and turned to see were the blast came from. An alien mother ship flew right over the crowd and circled the city surrounding it in an energy shield.
The mother ships airlock doors opened, and hundreds of Perreys jumped from the ship down to earth, terrorizing the city! A group of humans managed to escape into an underground hide out.
These humans were Doug, Craig, Bill, Jack and Phil. They were the last humans alive in the city, but with the energy shield they couldn’t get out! With their new secret alliance formed on revenge against the Perreys will they be strong enough to defeat them?
