Magnetite and Geodes

Magnetite is a kind of rock that is magnetic. It is made up of oxygen and iron oxides. I like magnetite because it is magnetic. I got magnetite in a rock collection in topsfield. It was fun there. I also bot Sulphur, Arginote, a Geode, and some Quartz. I want to find magnetite some day. it would be fun to play with it.

I like Geodes too.Sedimentary geodes are formed under the water and Volcanic geodes are formed by  the lava  when it gets cold. Sedimentary and Volcanic geodes both have to have the same amount of  pressure and chemicals to make crystals inside. I found a piece of geode in my backyard. I still have it now.

Middle Ages Soccer Story

The Middle Ages Soccer

One day London was playing soccer in his backyard. One time he kicked it at the post and it disappeared. Where did it go? It was gone. London went in the goal and crossed the line and then he fell in the ground. Down and down he went until he landed on something soft. Looking around  he saw that he had fallen in some hay in a blacksmith shop. He looked around and saw a  castle and he thought he was dreaming.

The blacksmith looked at London and told him to hurry to the castle because all of the young boys are doing a jousting tournament. He went to the castle and he saw all of the young boys jousting. He wanted to joust to be a knight. he asked the king if he could joust and the king said he could joust he told him to get armor on. He told him there was armor and a horse in the stable and he asked the guards to go with the boy to the stable. The boy found a nice horse and he asked if he could have it. The guards said he could have it and helped him find his armor and get dressed. 

Now he was dressed so he went to the tournament and got on his horse. He was nervous because he had never jousted. The young boys looked like they were good at jousting. He started to ride he hit the other guys shield but the other guy hit his head and he fell off. He was glad he was wearing a helmet that made it so it didn’t hurt his head. When he got up he decided that he didn’t like jousting because it was just to hit the other player. He wanted to teach them how to play soccer.

He asked the guards if he could talk to the king. The guards said he could if it was important. London said it was important. So he went to go see the king. He asked the king if he could  teach his men how play a sport that he liked. the king said that he could tell him if it was a good sport. London said it was best sport in the world and the one all the knights play where he came from. The king agreed to let him teach the men how to play the sport.

so he told the blacksmith to get metal. He told the fisherman to get two nets... Now the blacksmith came with metal posts and the fisherman came with two nets. Now he explained how to build the goal’s. They made two amazing goals right on the battle practice field. London got his ball out from the hay in the blacksmith shop and now they could play.

London was the ref. The game started now. The team on the left side started with the ball. They did a kick off. The other guy had the ball now so he dribbled and kicked it at the post. It bounced off the post and the other team got the ball and they tried to hit it with a his jousting stick but it didn’t go so far. And the other team got the ball and they passed it in front of the other young boy but he was wearing armor so he couldn’t get to the ball and it went out. The other team got the ball and he threw it in at one of the young boys head but the other young boy ducked so it wouldn’t hit him. The other team’s goalie got the ball in his hands and threw it at one of the boys and and it hit his hand and London the ref called it a yellow card because he put his hand out. It was a free kick. One of the knights without armor kicked it at the goal and it went in the top corner the goalie had armor so he couldn’t dive. GGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL it was in.

He could only kick it. He took the catapult away it took a few people to do it. So he used his feet for the corner kick. And he did a pass to the guy right next to him. He got it and did a lift over everyone but the goalie got it and did a big punt up the field.

London asked the king if they wanted to use some of their gold gor their meadels and trophie. The king told London that they could only use gold for one medal.

Ok London said. The king gave London the one medal. London 

took the medal and he gave it to Max the center forward. They cheered and cheered. They were happy they won but now London was thinking how could he get out of this place. 

He remembered he had fallen in the hay but he couldn’t fly back to his world. he thought of something else. . . . he looked up he saw the clouds were opening they were opening fast then the sun came out it was very light he felt like he could fly into the sun. 

He waved his hands and he flew up. He could fly! He flew into the clouds then he felt water and he went into the ground and he came up in his world. He wish he could go back to the middle ages and play more soccer.

Time to eat London, his mom called. Ok I’m coming.

Chimpanzees

Did you know that Chimps make a grunting noise when they are happy? If they are smiling it shows they are scared or nervous.

They eat fruit, inects, bark, seeds, and leaves but they also eat meat and eggs.

The Chimpanzees are endangered animals.

Chimpanzees average life in the wild is 45 years but in the zoo they live up to 50.

strong arms help the Chimpanzee swing on branches.

I like Chimpanzees because they like to climb and i like to climb and my sister likes to climb too.

My sister climbs very fast like a Champion chimp.

I like Chimpanzees because they are very familiar to humans.

The Huns

The Huns were wandering people from Mongolia.
They fought China but couldn't defeat them.
They also fought India, Iran, then they settled in Hungary. I think Hungary was named after Huns.

Then they fought Italy, Germany, and France.

Attila the Hun was a fierce warrior. He fought lots of battles as the leader of the Huns and conquered many places. They were good warriors because they could shoot arrows while riding horses and practiced since they were little kids.

Giant Pandas

Did you know that Giant Pandas make a bleating sound similar to a lamb or a goat kid it's a friendly noise

they use to greet each other.

The Giant Panda weighs like 300 pounds but the baby Panda weighs 5 ounces only. And they have no hair

when they are first bord.

They eat ninety nine percent bamboo.

Giant Pandas are at risk and there's not as much bamboo.

I like Giant Pandas because they look so soft and they look like you can hug them.

soccer

There was a game. Real Madrid played Dortmund. And Dortmund did a pass down the line and some body

 did a cross and Lewandowski did a volley and he scored!

But then Real Madrid dot the ball they dribbled at the goal the goalie came out but the he passed the ball to

 Ronaldo and he finished it...Goal!!

Dortmund got the ball passed it to Lewandowski and scored!!

 Dortmund got possession of the ball and they did little passes in the six yard box and then Lewandowski got

 the ball and shot it in the top corner

Dortmund got it again they dribbled it at the goal Xabi Alonso pushed him FFWWTT!!

Penalty kick. Lewandowski took it he did on the top corner but Adan dived the other way. Gooaall!!

Real Madrid can still come back if they beat Dortmund 3 to 0.

Eurasiann Otters

The Eurasian Otters live in fresh water they also live coastal areas in Asia, Europe, and North America.

The Otters weigh 15 to 22 pounds.

They also eat alot of fish but they do eat other aquatic animals like amphibians.

The Eurasian Otters even like playing in the snow!
