Flight club

Flight club
Last week my uncle got his driver's license for a plane but the problem was
he lived far from the house and if we got there the weekends would be over.
My parents were packing our clothes like we were going somewhere so I and
my brother and two sisters got suspicious so we would follow them around.
They drinks clothes and towels and swimming togs. They said we're going to
the airport. It was a long drive but we were still discussing what they had
been When we got there we saw our uncle he took us to this massive plane,
we went inside and saw our cousins, we buckled in, went somewhere everybody
was talking laughing telling jokes watching movies.  When we got there it
looked like Fiji. but colder than I figured out where we were in Hawaii this
was the best day ever.

 Today it started off regularly but the afternoon was horrible so we were
playing games like tag cop, robbers we played laughed watched movies. Then
your cousins came the oldest was mean but afraid of me because I was
stronger one of the neighbours liked the sister  but there was smelled of
smoke the uncle was bad at roasting food then it caught the house we were
throwing then we realised we fudged up then we got the fire exhausted but
we had none then when my parents came the got the hose hosed the fire
and us because my cousin was actually the one who started the fire he was
dead so I and everyone got a bucket of ice with water and poured it on him
but when we went inside and we figured it was a prank from our parents so
we got buckets of ice cold water and poured it on them but the chased us
down with the hose and sprayed us but when the walked in the house the
was bucket on top of the door this was the best day.

“Today I asked if we could go fishing said my brother to my dad when
he said only if your brother wants to so I said yes we for a drive that felt
like it lasted for a second then we saw some warning but there were people
there so we ignored it. We saw something that looked like a tentacle coming
out so we move back like a lot then it got bigger, bigger, then humongous. 
Five tentacles came out so we ran back to hide just like the other people it
picked up trees, then it dragged them to the water it was like it was eating
it or blocking something or making something. got cars, dragged them into
the water everyone was screaming, then it got a hold of the big building, then
it was trying to pull it down then all of the people inside of the building ran
out it dragged the building in it was horrifying. But it started to look cool
when it finally stopped.  everyone wonder what just happened, why did it not
eat us but something felt wrong it was like someone was controlling it but it
left something behind like a cut of the piece of its tentacle so I took it.
Then it started to look like it was a medal so that's the way it never eat us up.
It was being controlled.

The Tsunami


As we started driving my parents told us to go to sleep because it was a long trip.  As we continued driving I heard waves crashing in. My parents continued driving while my other family members followed behind us, but for some reason, we were still driving. I tried to wake up my sisters and brother, they wouldn’t

wake up. All of a sudden I realised waves smashing into us. The waves flooded

the car, all I could feel were my parents pulling us out of the car to get above

water.  Luckily we had something that helped us to breathe. Everyone survived.

We called out to the boats as everyone else did. I saw a huge boat that pulled

us up on to the boat, but I just didn’t understand how they had the breathing

masks. It's like they knew it was going to happen. It felt like a was in a dream

until I looked at the captain, he was just looking ahead. He looked so familiar.

I went closer, he started to look like my grandpa. Until I realised everyone on

the ship was dead except me. I looked at myself, I looked like I had been buried, broke free.

So I just realised my eyes were closed the whole time then I opened them, I was in bed or a cottage, I realised I had drowned to death.

Quick write Mission to Mars

A few days ago five men, five women had traveled to mars in the shuttle carrying them. Landing safely in the dusty hot planet, they had succeeded! So far. But soon after, five days, we all lost sight of them. It was like someone canceled the signal. The government said “we didn’t want you seeing what was happening.” So he cut the signal. Only we were  able to see. They said “in five months you can see them.” But we didn’t. I started to think crazy like my brother had perished, but he could be alive. Captured. But that's worse. I will never know what happened to him and the crew.

The Neuronsicentist visit



On Wednesday we had Brigid, a Neuroscientist, visit (us) Room 5,  A Neuroscientist studies the
brain to help solve sickness (the) to do with your brain, like forgetfulness or a stroke. 


She gave us activities that included testing our minds. We had to get a shirt and we had to use one
hand to try to do the buttons up. My time was one minute and three seconds with my right hand
but for my left hand, Twas a minute and a half. The  activity was about seeing if both of your hands
were equal, but the only way that's possible is if you are ambidextrous. Being ambidextrous makes
your brain ten percent bigger than usual.


The next activity was trying to trace a star without looking at our hands but we had to look  in the
mirror. That really was a challenge because by looking in the mirror different movements were the
opposite of where we
wanted to go,  left was right and right was left, up was down, down was up. This was so much of a
challenge. When I used my dominant hand, this was not  any more of a challenge, the thing was the
mirror was showing us the opposite direction so I was getting confused. Also when I took my
marker off the star, I couldn’t put it back on to the right spot.


The next activity was holding a brain and learning some facts about it, but we all knew
some already.  I learnt some new facts about the brain like 100 billion neurons are in a
baby when it is born, but it starts to lose those neurons as it is getting older. We realised that
monkey brain is almost as big as your hand if you were a kid, but an adult needs two for it to be
as big. We didn’t hold a slippery brain that could have diseases.The brains we held had been
injected with a serum that makes the brain as hard as plastic We learnt some interesting facts
but the thing I loved to do, was holding a brain. 


Right after we finished all the activities we got to ask questions. I asked so many like, 
How long does the brain take to form into plastic?’ The answer was a week and a half.
I asked so many questions I just stopped for one minute to ask more but then the bell rang then
we went home “ that was the best day ever.
