With a big piece of string you can make a sweep-the-floor-machine. This is how to make it: Tie the end of the string to the middle of the broom. Tie it really tight. Hold on to the other end of the string and pull and the broom will move.  I guess it doesn’t really help you sweep the floor, but it does make it more fun!

When you walk down Riverbrook Way, you see very tall evergreen trees, some are even taller than our house. There are not a lot of traffic jams since the street is not very busy. Most of the cars that you’ll see are parked on driveways or on the road. As you walk on the sidewalk you’ll sometimes hear a car, but usually you’ll feel and hear a gentle breeze. It’s normally cold so we wear a hoodie but in summer we don’t. It is very hot and sunny in spring. In the winter the ground is covered in snow as white as sugar, in summer with grass as green as green can be. When you walk by our house you’ll see a large grey rock that feels very bumpy. Near the rock you’ll see a black lamp post that feels very smooth (when there’s no cobwebs on it).

Last week I got to go to the Edmonton Science Centre. I thought it would be just like the Calgary Science Centre, but it wasn’t. You can play with marbles on tracks and tubes. There was a spot where you could make islands out of sand and my Mom made Bora Bora! You can make Lincoln Log houses and see if they stand a shaking foundation. When I saw all this stuff, I really liked it and it was really fun.

Once upon a time, it was midnight and I was asleep. My dog was barking and woke up. I saw flashing lights outside my window. I snuck downstairs and took the leash off the wall and attached it to my dog. I walked outside and saw a huge thing with flashing lights. It looked like a flying saucer. And then I remembered that every time I heard my parents talking about flying saucers, they said they didn’t exist. But I just saw one!  Then I had to duck because it shot a bullet at my house behind me. Then it shot bullets in all directions! Every minute I had to duck. I ran home and called the police.  I saw the police coming and they got into the flying saucer.  Then the police marched out carrying storm-troopers on their back.  The police killed the storm troopers at the police station.  I realized that it wasn’t a flying saucer, it was a huge spaceship.   The police came back and took the spaceship away. The end.
