Snorkelling with the Green sea turtle

Hi there! It is me Kiarah, the explorer/scientist. The last time I talked to you was when I turned into a flying pig. That was crazy, but today we are going to talk about my amazing experience, while swimming with the green sea turtle! Now we shall start . . .

The sea was calm and the sun was shining, it was a perfect day for snorkelling! I wasn’t sure if I would see anything, but the experience would still be a blast. The waters here are overwhelmingly clear and can be a shock for most tourists. The islands of the Bahamas are beautiful and can be so much fun when you use your imagination. Anyway back to the story, I was walking down the beach with my wetsuit, snorkel and net in my hand (I would use this net for any rubbish or cool things I found).

I splashed into the water with ripples of water surrounding me. I made sure not to get any water into the breathing pipe of the snorkel, it wasn’t very hard. Diving into the water I felt a shiver go through my body, I quickly got over it though. A couple of minutes passed and all I had seen was Snappers (a type of fish) and some Jellyfish. It was quite disappointing, but I was up for another look.

It was starting to bore me, but then I saw something brown in the distance. I efficiently started to stroke my arms in hope that I would go faster. I got closer and then I started to see arms and legs, it wasn’t a fish nor a Jellyfish for sure! Swimming and swimming I could see the whole animal by now, it was beautiful, it was a turtle. Flapping up and down to float I then realised it was a Green sea turtle!
“Woooo!” I shouted with excitement in my voice. I was especially happy!

Dear...

Dear Nena (Nana/Hiva),
I miss you and your hot, delicious meals! I feel like I haven’t seen you in decades, but it has only been a couple of months. I miss the beautiful flowers and the big coconut trees. The water here is so blurry and you can’t see anything, I'm not very used to it.

If you are wondering why I am writing to you instead of just coming to your house, it is because I am now a soldier now! I wear a camo uniform, but most of the time it is covered in mud. I won’t be home for 1 and a half more years, don’t worry though because I will always write to you.
From Kiarah

Women in 1914

What is life? I thought to myself as I walked to my new job. The men get to go to fight for our country, while us women have to take in their “duties”. Women's rights hasn’t been voted for yet, and I doubt it ever will. It is sad and men don’t care, some might, but it does not seem like it. On the other hand it is dangerous and you could get killed out there. So I guess this is the better choice, it was World War One after all.

I could smell the burnt coal walking in the fences of the coal mine. It was a horrible stench and it was so strong that I could taste it. Most of the workers here were ladies, but there were men too. Only a couple though. A lot of the people were sketchy and were from rough neighborhoods. I didn’t have the time nor the care to talk to them at all. This was one of the worst jobs and the only job I have ever had, going in I wanted to come out as soon as I could. The sound of gravel scrunched on my boots, I took off my coat and flipped it over the wood railing. I grabbed my shovel and started to dig.

As long as I was digging and doing my job propoley, I was sure to be paid money to look after my family. I had two children and a husband, but my husband wasn’t with us right now. He wasn’t even in the war, so it was only me and my two kids. I started to get emotional thinking about it, but I couldn't. I had to stay strong and finish work so I could see them again.

It was 20 minutes into digging and I had only got ¼ of a barrel. I was sweating and wanted to have a drink so badly, but water was limited and you could only have 1 cup of water between 3 hours in the mine. There were about 200 people after all. There would be more, but people were at war! It was hard because each person had to find more coal than usual.

10 hours had passed and I had had 3 cups of water by now. There was only 30 minutes left and I was so excited to get out of this place. 3 barrels of coal lying next to me on the ground! It was a relief knowing that I had gone over the average.

Now I have finished and you wouldn’t dream of how happy I was. I walked out of the fences and was now going to look for my children. I was pretty sure they were at home and were watching tv. What a long, but heart feeling day. I was so ecstatic!

Poacher's...

Somehow my potion went wrong and I turned into a flying pig! exploring the forest I find poachers trying to kill animals. I go to the rescue, but something wrong happens. What will happen next? 

Please do not kill animals, it is very unkind and a disgrace to the human race. What ever you do don't hurt animals or humans. Hope you ENJOY my story and understand how and why poaching is wrong.

Swoosh!Swoosh!Swoosh! I was in the air flying, but that did make sense because after all, I was a scientist. There was something that I was missing though, something that didn’t attach to the puzzle. I felt weird and my body felt heavy, why though? Did I gain some weight? Did I make the wings clipped onto my body too heavy? Or was it just the fact that I was in a pig’s body? Right at that moment I knew what a terrible thing that I had done. We shall go back to when I was in my lab…

It was a windy and frosty afternoon when I was just maneuvering the finishing details around the wings. What wings was I talking about, you may ask. Well as you know I am a scientist and I wanted to be the first to fly without a plane or anything that’s mechanical. So I made these wings out of recycled plastic and materials, (to save the planet of course). I wasn’t sure if it would work, but I knew that I had to give it a try!

After adding the finishing touches I knew that it wouldn’t work, but luckily I made a potion that could make me fly! It was going to be a risky move, but it was worth a try. Unlike those recyclable “wings”, this was sure to work. Popping the cap of the bottle I could smell how this would turn into a monstrosity really quick. Ignoring my thoughts, without any hesitation I quickly took a sip and …

That’s what turned me into a flying pig, it did work, but not the way I was expecting it to. Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all though, right? I’ve always wanted to see what being an animal in the wild was like and this was my chance! Being a flying pig in the jungle would be a bit different though.


“Squeke, houu, huff, blaaa!” I was trying to speak, but all that came out of my mouth was propostrfle noises. What was wrong with my mouth and what language was I speaking?

‘How dumb could I be?’ I thought to myself, obviously it was the flying pig side of me talking! Not being able to talk was quite hard for a blabber mouth like me, but it was fine. I looked down for a landing spot, instead I saw a truck full of guns and boxes! I knew that this was going to be trouble.

Landing I could see the hunter’s in the distance, what was this? They were staring at a poor little baby Rhino. This could not happen, with these pig feet you could barely hear me. So I took that to advantage, I walked around them waiting for these humans to go. After what seemed like decades they finally got out of the way and started to walk. This was my moment so I ran and … POP! I landed straight on the ground, something was off again something weird. I didn’t have time to see what was weird because those annoying human’s heard me! They looked at me with a very confused look, what were they looking at? Then their faces turned as angry as a baby with no food. I ran and ran, but this time I had two legs? I had TWO legs! I was human again, I stopped and shouted.

“Thank-you for this miracle!” realising I shouldn't have stopped I continued to run while thinking of solutions… … …

“That’s it!” I shouted to myself with all the hope in the world. All I had to do was call the police! I dialed 111 (New Zealand emergency number) and waited for them to pick up. They picked up and I was ready to blabber like there was no tomorrow.

“I’m at the Jungle of New Zealand and there are poachers trying to kill animals. Please help!”

“Don’t worry ma'am we're on our way, ready to arrest those poachers.” The lady so kindly assured me. If you're wondering, yes I did get away from those poacher’s and I was in front of the entryway to the Jungle. Wondering when they were going to get there, I heard the siren’s and let out a big sigh of relief.

The poacher’s were still inside the jungle so the police headed in. Biting my fingernails with nervousness I could see the poachers and the police. Wait , but there was no baby Rhino?

“We are very sorry ma'am, but we weren't there in time to save the poor thing.” Suddenly everyone went quiet, and my eyes started to water. If I had done something sooner the poor thing would be alive, but i knew that was all I could do.


I walked past the poachers with a smug look on my face. That day was probably one of the worst…

Cobra description

Cobra Description

Lying there with this adrenaline rushing animal was frightening, but amazing! This King Cobra was a beautiful, hypnotising and cool animal. The snake was hissing with fangs of a sword, was this snake going to attack me? I was going to find out, I reached out and it hissed. So I quickly pulled back, I was scared and doubtful of the idea. So I… Didn’t do it!

Why was I lying on a field of hay, with a snake? What was I going to do? Was this snake more dangerous than I thought? Yes, yes it was, but back to why I was laying on the ground with a killer snake…

It all started when I was on a hike in India, (there were a lot of snake’s where I was hiking). I was sure that I would find one, and make a video on the beautiful creatures. While I was hiking I came across a big rock and it was huge! There would have been a snake there for sure, and I was excited to find one.

I looked through the rock and got a little dead mammal out of a container. Placing the mammal on the rock I could hear hissing so I stood back. The snake came out and it was a King Cobra! I was shocked, but so happy. I got to make a video about this snake!

That’s what brought us here, lying on the ground of hay. The cobra wouldn’t come very close so I could touch it, but I didn’t mind. I was already ecstatic of the idea of filming this creature!

Gorilla Robot?!

Gorilla ROBOT?!

Stalking the camera's every single day to see if any action would happen, got more and more boring, until those new machines came through. When they came through it was like everything was easier! Of course you might be wondering what I’m talking about… We got a new package that made us able to make robots! Not any robot though, it was a kit to make our very own Gorilla robot. Why? So we could launch it into the wild and see what Gorilla life was really like.

The product was ready and steady, we were able to now launch it into the wild. What was going to happen to this small creature? It was very furry unlike the others, but it had to be to cover all the metal and wires underneath. I mean if you didn’t know that this was a robot, well you would think it was the real thing!

We put it into a place where there was no Gorilla’s, but they were to come. We turned it on and headed back to the factory. It was a 10 minute drive so there was sure to be Gorilla’s there. Running to my seat I was finally behind the computer. I was right, the Gorilla’s were coming right up to the robot!

A baby Gorilla was walking through the pristine grass and up to the robot. I didn’t know what gender it was, but it was cute! It touched the glass eye and tried to hug it. At that moment the… HEAD GORILLA CAME DOWN!

This robot was surely going down, we ran to the car and hoped, was this thing going to “survive”?! I sure hope it does, but when we got there. You probably know where this is going. It was “dead”, the wires and metal were everywhere! We were sure to pick up all the rubbish though.

Dear Diary...

Dear Diary,
What an unforgettable day! I was busy collecting water from the well, when the sun mysteriously disappeared from the sky.

I looked up and saw a huge hollow cloud hover over me. I dropped my water bottle and ran, running and running. I could see the city of Pompeii! 

I could also see… My time machine! I knew I could get there in time. I mean I thought I could, I was running for my life, literally. 

As you know I have been travelling from one ancient city to another. It takes a long time to get there, but a short time to spent time there!

What was going to happen next? We’ll I was still running. I was so puffed out I was about to go unconscious.

I took a glimpse behind me and there was love everywhere. People were turned into ash and people were screaming. How worse could this get, but when I thought that thought, I jinxed myself!

How did I jinx myself? I was running and I was about 3 metres away from this time machine, but it took off…

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” What was I going to do now!...

Top Secret, my discovery of chocolate!

TOP SECRET
CHOCOLATE

Walking through the forest of central America, I could smell something amazing, delicious. As I followed the smell it got stronger and stronger, what was this wonderful thing? The smell had led to a deep yellow fruit, it was absolutely dreamy!

Wondering what to do next I got out my knife, at that moment I knew what to do. I would cut it open! I was extremely excited, what would happen next? Would it taste wonderful like the smell? Or would it taste propostroful like the bugs in the forest? I didn’t care at that moment, it smelt so good, that I was sure it tasted good. RIGHT?

I grabbed my knife and quickly sliced it open, it smelt even better on the inside than it did on the outside! Raising my hand to take a bite I could… see something brown? Surely it wasn’t poo, if it was anything it had to be a seed.

“Mehh.” I said to myself, waiting for the pleasure of this fruit. I took a bite and there it was… HARD! It was definitely a seed. What was this, it was the seed but it had turned into a powder. It tasted sweet, sweet like chocolate! This has to be how they make/made chocolate!

Now what I didn’t tell you was that I was sent into the past, ha ha, by a time traveller! How? My grandfather is an award winning scientist, and he created the first ever time traveller in the world! I was so proud of him that I had volunteered to be the first. Now back to the chocolate story…

I couldn’t believe that I had made such a discovery! I had been so proud of my grandfather, now he’s going to be proud of me. Quickly picking up a few fruits I dashed as fast as I could, ( it wasn’t very fast) and swished the tree’s out of my way. Now the time machine that sent me to the past, has a time limit. It had already been 1 hour! The thing is it only had 1 hour and 2 minutes, so if I didn’t get back… I would be lost there forever!

Running and Running I tried to keep as much oxygen in my lungs as possible. There was only 30 seconds left, and I was 10 metres away surely I could make it! I ran and there was 10 then there was 5 and then…

huu, a sigh of relief passed my eyes as I sat in the machine. It was finally over all that running had made me tired, so I decided to sneak just one fuit. I can’t wait to see the look on my grandfathers face!

Samurai Battle!

DRIP~DRIP~DRIP! I stepped through the puddles as the rain hopped over the silence. I knew somebody was watching me, but who? Wondering what I'm doing… waiting for my opponent, that’s who was probably watching me. Or should I say stalking? I was just walking in circles when a big figure popped out.
“So are you the little guy that your Master~ sent?!” He roared in a sarcastic way.
“Yes I am, what are you blind?” I responded back, with a little bit of sass in my voice.

“As you know we have to fight! So why don’t we take a start?”
“Fine with me~.” I snapped back. This woman was twice my size, and was quite large too. How was I supposed to beat her? We got in position, we bowed and put our hands on our swords…

SHING! She pulled her sword out before we were supposed to? ‘Cheater!’ I think to myself, but all I could do know was fight.

It was only a couple of minutes into the fight and I had quite a few cuts, while she only had two. ‘I can’t give up’, my master would be so disappointed. So I kept on going, and sooner or later we were on the same level. Both tired we kept going,
“Oww!” I shouted as she cut me once again, but as I said earlier, I can’t give up! I grabbed my sword and jumped hopping to see glory. Let me tell you… Glory I got, I had finally defeated her after 2 years! I was crying with joy. Trying to pick her up and shake her hand…

She grabbed her sword?
Slice!...
