It was a monday morning and for the first time I got to sleep in without anyone telling me to get up. Then I had open up the curtains then I was blinded by the sun as it was shining up in the sky. It was a perfect day but then i looked up at the sky and saw that there were grey clouds coming so it might not be a perfect day.

Then my mum had came into my room and told me to get ready to go to my Auntys house to see my cousins Brooklyn and Orlando. We all had got ready and heading off to my Auntys house.

When we got here we all had some cupcakes and half a cake . Then our friend Starr came over then all of a sudden our friend Neanea came.Then there were lots of people here.

We played lots of games and we all went to the shop to get some lollies and food for our movie and also my aunty Hayley was playing on the dj set on the table shes really good at it.

Echolocation

What is Echolocation?

Echolocation is an echo that bounces off an object when you make a sound. Then you would be able to know what that object is by hearing. Here’s an example of the way that dolphins use echolocation. They use it by doing clicking sounds underneath water. That sound bounces off that object and comes back to them so they can know if there is any prey or friends.

Ben underwood is a young man that had cancer in his eyes. His vision was gone when he was about 3 years old. Ben would go outside and play freely. The way he does that is by doing clicking sounds with his mouth that echos to the object and comes back to him like a dolphins . So Ben is able to see without any vision but by hearing.

Echolocation is a very cool skill to pick up but not easy to pick up thats why Ben Underwood was a really smart boy. He was able to pick up a skill that most people have found hard to learn. Most people don’t even know what echolocation means.

Autumn

So this morning was like any other morning got ready for school had breakfast. Then as soon as  I open the door freezing cold wind blew onto my face. As I saw leaves coming off the tree branches I just figured that it must be Autumn.

Running to school as my fingers were ice cold I was thinking when is this autumn going to go away and when I thought it couldn't get any worse I felt something drip onto my face. Then it started pouring down rain then that just made it worse because now I was freezing.

When I finally got to school I felt the warmness as walked into my class room and hands already warming up.
