The Beach

                                                                      The Beach
Excited giggling, waves of laughter coming from the beach hut.Everyone was in a peaceful mode, no swearing, no fighting, just peaceful. But I thought to myself how long will this last? Maybe an hour or something, but anyway it was my first time out of the stuffy van with suitcases piled nearly on top of me and my dearest cousin Liza.With lots of suitcases, we came tumbling down headfirst into the silky sand. Shaking off the pearl white sand, embarrassed I walk off to the restroom and change into my waterproof lace bikini once I was finished we blundered out of the restroom.Gazing in awe and amazement at the undisturbed water, washed and glazed in the sunshine. It blew me away.

Enchanted by the pristine perfect fish. I noticed each that each fish that its own unique patterns like zebras in Africa.Cupping my hands into a bowl shape, I dip my hands into the cool, clear water. We tried and tried again to catch the fish but it didn't work.But in the end, we gave up and decided to bathe in the refreshing water , all the fish away

Science How to protect plants from bugs

                                                     The Science  

Our question was…
What is the best remedy for protecting plants from slugs, snails etc
At the Hamilton Gardens, we learnt that there are good insects as well as bad.
Our remedies were: Saucer of milk next to the plant, crushed eggshells on the soil, ripped orange peels on the soil.
It showed that all the remedies worked equally the same, with zero slugs and snails etc.
the science behind the first remedy is that they are drawn to the milk because they’re curious, and then they drown in the milk.
The eggshells are so sharp that when snails walk over the eggshells they get cut and stabbed to death.
the science behind the last remedy is that the citric acid in the oranges burns the skin of the snail, slugs etc.

Heart pumping, cold sweating dripping down my wrinkled forehead. I jump, I could only hear my heart drumming in my abnormally large ears. Relief gripped me with anticipation and thrill. Finally, the thrill managed to wear off before I went to the beam. The height of the beam terrified me but luckily a giant electric blue bean bag. My turn was before Amelia but after Addison. I nearly forgot my moves, but I remembered them in time.
