World Moon Day

World Moon day is a celebration for the first NASA moon base.

The basic structures have been made but we plan to include all the next features.

Food Processor: turns moon dust into food,

Moon Rover: takes photos and samples of the moon and has vacuums to suck up moon dust,

Moon Rover Docking Bays: to house the moon rovers,

Transport shuttle: to Transport people from earth to the moon,

Transport shuttle docking bays: to house the Transport shuttles.


On earth we celebrate by eating “Space Sticks” and “Alien Food” as well as putting up pinnate and model space men. in some countries men and women dance with masks and costumes on but the best is when the USAF(US Air Force) goes over and lunchers fire works from their planes while going at mach 3.  

Coasteering

I jump into the icy water and think I feel icicles forming on my body; I can’t breathe.  I get out as fast as I can; the water is freezing! I submerge slowly this time, “Come On,” our instructor shouts, I shoot through the water like a bullet as I struggle to get to the other side. I jump out of the water and wait for the others to get on to the jagged rocks and then I walk cautiously to a smooth slab of rock and jump in again. I go the long way because I think it is going to be fun, I am wrong. A tidal wave of warmth washes over me and as I get out for the final time. I hear myself sigh with relief.

New introduced Moon Rover

The new advanced Moon rover is programmed to search Moon and destroys the opposing forces. It is also programmed to protect the moon base.

 

It has mini prototype rockets to scoop up rocks on Moon. It has a satellite to find out the coordinates of the prototype rockets.

 

At the front it has a chain gun and a coordinate finder to terminate targets on the Moon.

At the back it has a storage area to store rocks, weapons and finds when an astronaut is controlling it.

 

It has jet boosters on the side to power up the Moon rover. It also has satellite-tracking panels to insure that its position is known all the time. It has two solar-powered bright light so it can travel in the dark.

 

 The windscreen is made out of unbreakable glass with night vision and inferred. It has two sets of double chunky tyres.

 

It now has a steel tray at the front to load up finds and other storage when the storage at the back is full. It also has a radio satellite to send messages from Earth control and moon control to our moon rover and vice versa. It basically means that Earth can send messages to the moon base and the moon base to the Earth.

 

In an emergency air intakes on the side suck in air from the moon and circulates oxygen and moon air that gets rid of carbon dioxide. On the radio cell there are oxygen producers. If there is too much air in the cabin emergency valves at the back open out and let the air rush out.   

The Caribbean

I feel a subtropical breeze on my face, I look around and see a ship with black sails moored in a bay. A group of men with ripped clothes and sheaths strapped to their belts are digging in the soft golden sand. I look at my clothes, a puffy white shirt and leather jerkin, black pants and belt. I pull out the sword, it has a weird curved shape, Suddenly I realize where I am.

WHERE AM I?

Shichigosan


Shichigosan is a festival that originated in Japan in the Heian Period. It is not a national holiday. The boys wear traditional dresses. This celebration is not a national holiday. In this celebration you go to a shrine where the celebrations start.

Another name for this fantastic celebration is seven-five-three. Chitose Ame a thousand year candy is given to little kids on this celebration. Chitose Ame is long, thin, red and white candy.

 千歳飴 This means Chitose Ame.

As I leap in the air I sense branches reaching to strangle me. I run away like some rifle person was chasing me. I had to help my mates but how especially now? I decide to hurl a stick. But it was gone I couldn’t hear anything. Even a sound of rustling of leaves. As I walk back to my mates they were sleeping. I guess it was time for a nap.

 

When I wake up my mates were gone. I huff and puff. It was the worst moment of my life. I though that I was going to be a goner. As I wait for their return I gather some sticks. I really need a axe. So I decide to customize some wood. I end up with a decent axe. I was proud of it and then I sense a sound of a rustle in a shrub. Suddenly something leapt up in the air. It was my mates.

 

As we finished our bivvy we had a great time.

Fiji, My Paradise

I see towering coconut trees

swaying in the subtropical

breeze. I hear seagulls

screaming in the distance as

they fly free into the

horizon. I smell salt wafting

in the air around me. I feel

the sea lazily lapping at my

toes. This is my special paradise where I can lie around all day.

My Special Place

As I stride to the sliding doors they slide open. When you enter it is like entering another world.

 

I distinguish people going to different and fantastic shops.

 

Children beg “Mum can I go to that shop?”

 

I helplessly touch people as they sprint to their favourite shops they like.

 

‘I hate it when there is heaps of people.’ I thought to myself.

 

I feel delighted when I’m here.

 

The smell is beautiful and marvellous as I sprint to my favourite shop, the $2 shop.

 

Where am I?

Being a Dream Maker

Being a Dream Maker is …

Taking impossible risks

Being a Dream Maker is …

Doing things out of your comfort zone

Being a Dream Maker is …

Saying … ‘ I’m going to try that ’ 

… ‘I’ll try my best’…

Being a Dream Maker is …

Trying things that are new for you.

Do things that you wouldn’t normally do.

 

That’s being a Dream Maker!
