Miracle in the sky

He stood there next to his mother, sheltered under a large black umbrella held by the tall woman. The mother and her son were soaked wet as they dragged themselves across the field.

They knew that something strange is happening. The rumble of thunder had been accompanied by a strange wind, almost a whooshing sound. The boy does not remember any time like this in his whole life.

They stared up at the remarkable view above them and wondered what on earth was happening. To their surprise, they saw a shoal of enormous fish swimming across the cloudy sky. The fishes appeared to be thousands, they were moving at a tremendous speed.

The mother and her son were feeling a bit amazed and worried at the same time. The reason is because they can not explain what and why there were fish in the sky. Furthermore, they were more worried than amazed because they could understand what is happening. Nevertheless, they continued on walking home in the terrible weather.

Hours and minutes later they finally got home. They had a warm shower, got changed, had a nice hot cup of milo before falling asleep while watching TV. Although they were sleeping, they were still thinking about what they have seen and realised it must have been a miracle but they were not sure who else has seen what they saw.

Basic test Reflection

My score on basic facts was 588. I was good at writing the numbers in words, arranging numbers from biggest to smallest, addition and multiplication. I would need help with  my division, using the < = > symbols and my place value with six and seven digit numbers. Also to improve my work I  will need to ask one of my parents at home to ask me questions so I can improve. I would like to get all of the questions right  in the next assessment.

Healthy skin

What is skin?

Skin is the thin  layer  of the tissue  forming the  natural  outer covering of our body. Skin is the  largest organ in the body . Subcutaneous tissue is the innermost layer of the skin located under the dermis and consisting mainly of fat. Subcutaneous fat acts as a shock absorber and heat insulator, protecting underlying tissues from cold and mechanical trauma.  Did you know that the sweat glands and  the  minute mussels attached to hair follicles originate in subcutaneous tissue?

Why  is our skin important?

Our skin is important because it protects everything inside our body. It's important to protect our skin from the sun; so we do not get skin cancer. If we protect our skin, we will have less wrinkles and less freckles and beauty marks.

Our skin is important  because  it protects  all our veins, blood vessels, arteries, and tissue. Skin is also a waterproof covering that keeps us cool in the hot, and it also moderates our temperature.

How do we take care of our skin?

We take care of our skin by washing ourselves properly. I would also recommend that we use a cleanser and moisturizer that do not contain harsh chemicals. I've also heard that sun screen in excess has cancer causing agents so be wary. Try to stay away from the drying agents and too much sun ( sun is healthy but burning is not).

What happens if we don’t take care of our skin?

If we don’t take care of our skin we could get sore skin, warts, pimples and more skin problems. Once it gets worst we will  have  skin cancer and more skin problems therefore we really need to take good care of our skin.
