under the bed

I go into my room to get a board game to play with my family. I grabbed the board game and took it out to the living room. My sister and I unboxed and then I noticed that the small bag that had the pieces in were not there, then my sister ran down the hall to my bedroom and dropped down on her knees and looked under my bed, she couldn't see it so i grabbed her hair and pulled her away then I looked and I found it and as soon as I said “found it” she was there waiting for me to get up so I put the bag on my dresser and then we got into a huge scrap and of course I won like always. I went back into the living room and I opened the bag and we got the pieces out and we played a good game. My mum won and she was so happy because whenever she plays a board game with my sibling she always loses. My family is so competitive.

Carbon Study

Carbon

Did you know that carbon is one of the most important elements that makes our planet. This element can be dangerous but can also be good. Carbon can be a solid, gas and a liquid. This special element can be in living and nonliving things. Did you know that our bodies all have carbon in them? Decaying leaf matter (Humus) is 70% carbon. Also did you know that our earth is made out of 118 elements. Carbon is used to make coral and shellfish, then gets turned into limestone after a while.

What is carbon dioxide (co2)

Carbon dioxide is an important gas. It traps heat in our atmosphere, stopping us from freezing to death. Carbon dioxide is what we breathe out after we breathe in oxygen. Co2 gets created when you burn fossil fuels, also when you burn fossil fuels it creates global warming, which i’ll explain later.This element (co2) is known as a greenhouse gas which means it can ‘trap’ and retain heat. Plants need carbon dioxide to live. They breathe it in through their leaves and then with sunlight they make oxygen which is called photosynthesis.

   

Global Warming

 Excess carbon gets trapped in the atmosphere. 

When you burn fossil fuels it causes global warming, global climate change. Global warming expands land and water. It also makes ice sheets melt in really cold places around the world. These large amounts of melted ice turns into water that flows into streams, rivers, lakes and seas. This means that our water levels are increasing which is causing major floods. 

How do we prevent global warming?

The way we can prevent global warming is to stop burning fossil fuels. If we all stand up and stop doing things that create global warming then it can hopefully stop.

“Good morning Mum,” I said while walking down the stairs.

“Good morning son,” She replied from the kitchen.

Mum was cooking pancakes, I heard her put a new batch in the frying pan. 

“How many pancakes do you want, Caden?😍” Mum said.

“Can I have four please because I have to miss out on morning tea today because I’m going to the dentist at school,” I replied like my mum didn’t know I was going to the dentist.

“Yeah, that's fine.”

Mum gave me four pancakes, and I ate them all.

10 Minutes later

“Bye Mum I’m going to school.”

“Bye Caden, have a good day,” Mum replied while I was walking outside the door.

I walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. I sat down on the bench and listened to music on my iPod. I played my favorite song.

When the bus arrived 

The bus arrived and I saw my best friend sitting in our usual spot. I walked in the bus, tagged my hop card then went to sit next to my best friend.  

When we arrived at school, the first class we had was geometry. Geometry class is my favorite class because my crush is in that class, this girl called Ava.

When my teacher was writing on the chalkboard I made Ava laugh because I sat next to her. The way I made her laugh was by putting my head in this little hole and when I did that I tried to pull my head out and it didn’t move a pinch I got scared so what did I do I grabbed my bag saw lip balm and rubbed it all over my neck Mrs. Gibbles saw the chair around my neck so she called the caretaker to bring a bladed knife to cut me free. Then the principal came to see me. She asked if I was alright and then called my mum. My mum wasn’t too fused because she knew that I would get out even if she had to get me out. 

When I finally got free from the chair, I could go to my dentist's appointment. 

30 Minutes later

After my dentist appointment, I could go back to class. The next class I had was English. I enjoyed English because I just liked English. 

A long time later   

It was finally over, a long day of boredom. The only fun thing about that was making Ava laugh and getting my head stuck in a chair.

When I got home

My mum was waiting at the dining room table and as soon as I said “hi” she started to laugh because you know the principal called her and said I got my head stuck in a chair, and that's exactly why I like my mum.
