A Long Walk To Water

I have learned once the boys hit the age of 10 years old they go to school and the girls stay home with their mother and learn how to keep a clean house. Salvas family is in the Dinka tribe and when the boys become men the tribe makes a scar on the men's head. Nothing is the same for me except I do have to do housework and I go to school but I don't have to be ten to start school and once I get home from school I might have to do some chores but that's about it, and I definitely don't have to get a scar on my head. I thought Salva would have been thinking about is when the gunfire happened where was his family? He was scared. How would he find his family again? Is his family okay? all the thoughts going through his mind would be the exact same as me. Salva got told to move into a group there was a men group and a women and children group things were going through his mind but he went to walk into the men group and then a soldier told him to stop and he had the gun facing him but then he realized that he wasn't pointing it him he was just lifting his head up. Salva would have thought he was about to die. That everything he was looking forward to in life was gonna be gone. he would never see his family ever again. He was scared. I would be scared and wanting my family. I would do anything to get out that position. Salva and some other villages went to a cabin to stay for the night but when Salva woke up they had left him. The thoughts going through Salva's mind would be why did they leave me? What am I going to do? What about food and water? All the same, things would be going through my mind to.

Hi, my name is Ella I live in New York City, people think it's great here but it's not all of the time. My mother and father work in the army so most of the time I like to stay with my grandma and my grandpa other times I like to stay with my aunt and my uncle. I am only 6 years old but my family let me go to whoever house I want I mostly like to stay at my aunts and uncles because I have my three little cousins there. When I grow up I want to become a sea fixer yes a sea fixer that is what I like to call it,. What it basically is is a sea vet we go out in submarines and see sea animals that are hurt and we fix them. By the way, I made this all up I made that story up when my mum and dad were back home because they asked me what I wanted to be when I was older. 22 years later..... My parents retired from the army about 6 years ago, unfortunately, my grandma and grandpa both passed away over a couple of years and by that I mean Nan had cancer and pop had lung problems. but I am now living with my husband and three wonderful kids. This weekend we are going to go on a cruise ship to go for a little family holiday. We are going for the boys (my sons) Birthday they are all turning 4 years old, they are triplets. While we were on the cruise ship we saw the most magical thing we saw whales swimming together there were five of them it was a great curse I had some much fun with my little family. 

The Northern Lights

I woke up and thought about what I was going to do today? Ahh I know what I'm going to do I am going to go for a walk and take my camera so that if I see anything interesting I will be able to take a photo. I will also take me a packed lunch and some water so that I don't get hungry. I set off on my walk as I was walking past the park nobody was there and I was super confused the park is usually filled with people because its the most famous park in the north. After walking past the park I noticed that not many people were walking around the streets and that there was barely anybody driving around. I started to wonder what was happening was there a fire? An earthquake? Where is everybody?
I kept walking around and then I saw a couple of people walking up a hill past all of the shops and everything like that, I was very confused? Since it is very cold in Canada I sat down near a fire I made to warm up but then my phone rang it was my mother and father they asked where are you I thought you would be at the festival, "what festival?" I asked "the northern lights festival" ah then it all clicked nobody was in town because of the northern lights festival "ill be there soon ma and pa," I said and then I set off hoping to get there in time, after all, it finished in 10 minutes. I didn't make it but what I realized that The northern lights were still glowing and that I had brung my camera so I set up my equipment and took a time lapse and i took about 22 photos of all the beautiful scenery.

The Rocket Project

The other day we out to the backfield to test out the rockets that we made.
We grabbed all of the rockets and once we were out on the field we set them up o the rocket launcher to be ready so that we could launch them. There are four people in my group, Kerranna, Cruize, Bree and then there's me. When we went up to fill up our bottle we added 300ml of water and we set the pressure (PSI)  we have to change the nose cone because the bottlenose cone doesn't come off was cool to see all of the rockets that launched.

This is my group's rocket.
