Letter to Zlatan

This is my letter to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He plays soccer and is from Sweden. I wrote him a letter, this is what it says if you can not read it. Hi Zlatan. I love how you play football (soccer is called football outside of America). Do you remember that bicycle kick you did against England in the 2014 qualifiers for the world cup. I remember that awesome free kick you did under the wall and it went in! Are you going to play in the 2018 world cup, if you do do you think that you will qualify, if you do, do you think you will get the world cup, wouldn't it be cool to get the world cup.?!

Look on the back

I drew it.

The Basilisk lizard

Basilisk lizards can run on water! It looks a little like a dinosaur. When something scares it, it sprints across the water and find's safety. It almost runs 5 mph! The back feet are bigger than the front, it also runs on the back ones. It has flaps of skin between the toes and has fringes on the bottom of the feet, this helps it walk on water. When it hits the water with his foot it creates an air bubble, the air bubble pops but its foot is already gone and the other foot is hitting the water. It can not run on the water for long it has to take a break soon.

Year in Review

READING FOR FUN

Recently I've read a lot of exciting adventure books including the Janitor's series, all the Tin Tin comics, the Candy Shop War series and right now I am on book Four of Fablehaven by Brandon Mull.

I think he is an amazing writer and writes very good stories where you never know what is going to happen until the very end.

MATH

I know I am in 4th grade but this year I got ahead and finished all of 4th grade math plus all of 5th grade math too on Khan Academy. I'm about 70% of the way through 6th grade and I think I'm pretty good at math. This year we worked a lot on fractions and decimals, but I still like geometry the best. We also read some funny math stories called the Life of Fred.

SOCCER

This year was the World Cup and it was so fun watching all the games. I was voting for Netherlands to win, but they got 3rd. (Orange is my favorite color). I started a Panini sticker book for the world cup.

 I also played with my club team North Shore United as the youngest player on the U10 team and we only lost one of our league games all year. I play midfield and I practice a lot doing 1000 touches in my yard. I want to learn to shoot the ball like Ronaldo.

MUSIC & ART

This year I listened to a lot of music and learned to play Appreggios pretty good. My best song right now is Pachabel and I memorized the whole thing. I am learning to play some music by ear which is hard but fun too.

I also started drawing a lot this year I will post some of my drawings soon. My grandpa is my teacher and he is an amazing artist.

Octopuses

Octopuses can make there arms stretch very far, they are also very smart. They use Jetpropulsion to move quickly, this is how it works. Water goes into his head and then into a tube, the tube has muscles on the top of it the muscles quickly squirt the water back threw the tube on the back and then it goes forward. It goes around 25 mph. You know that black inky substance, it has chemicals in it and they are poisonous to him and his predators that are trying to eat it, so it goes away quickly using jetpropulsion and he doesn't get poisoned. If one of its arms gets bitten off then it will grow back in about a month. It is so awesome hoe it changes color with its background in seconds like the chameleons.

Walrus and Giant Pacific Octopus

Walrus have a weird face. I will tell you why it is so weird. They use those tusks to slide on the muddy sea, they use those whiskers to break through the ground and they also use those big lips to spit and help break through the ground and find clams, and all of that fat keeps it warm in the freezing cold water. The baby can't find food when it is so young so the mother shares its food with its baby.

The giant pacific octopus loves clams as well. The giant pacific octopus's tentacles are each 30 ft long that is as long as a fire truck.  It would take the strength of ten people to take of the grip of a giant pacific octopus! It eats clams it would not eat you. When it eats the clam it first needs to break it open right. So it starts with using its tentacles to break it open then uses its beak to eat the good part. The walrus slurps it open and then eats it. They are kind of different but they both eat clams.

When a pearl is formed it usually gets a paracite inside of it then the icky goey stuff hardens and then in a few years you have got a pearl.

Valentin Stocker

This will tell you a little bit about Valentin Stocker. Valentin Stocker was born in Lucerne Switzerland. He Plays professional soccer. Valentin Stocker first played with SC Kriens a club team in 1996. Then in 2005 January he got Transferred to Basel another club team, and played for their under 21 Swiss 1. Liga (to learn about Swiss 1. Liga search it in Wikipedia the free encyclopedia ). He was called to play for the first team squad 2007-08 season he was called one of the best midfielders He signed his first professional contract when he turned 18.

The Mongols

The Mongols were fearsome warriors. When it was an emergency and they didn't have any food they cut a hole in there horses drank there blood and ate some vains then patche it up and got on there horse again! There were lots of mongol tribes but they were not that big one of the tribes names was khan Genghis was the leader of that tribe. The mongol warriors fought lots of countries but they also fought each other so Genghis Khan wanted to make all the tribes team up and take over china. It took some time but he got the tribes together and went to attack china, but the Chinese were wise they had the great wall of china and they also had choke bombs but the mongols made it past the wall and took over china then he got all of those riches he wanted.
