The pink one is popular

Donna decided to buy her two daughters water bottles. They were going to school soon. She bought a pink one and a blue one. She drove back home. "Girls! I have something for you!" her mom yelled. Sarah and Barbara ran to her. "What is it?" Sarah asked. She showed them the water bottles. They both grabbed the pink one. They started pulling it. "I grabbed it first!" Barbara said. "No, I did!" Sarah argued. The mom did not know what to do. She thought one of them would like the blue one. She could just flip a coin. One of them would still be mad. Donna decided not to give the water bottle to any of them.

About Camila

Hi, My name’s Camila and I’m Patagonia in Argentina. Do you know where that is? It is in South America. I live with my family – my mum, dad and my two brothers in a nice house in the country.

During the week I get up at 8am. I have breakfast and then I get dressed. I go to local school which is five minutes from house. I usually cycle to school with my brothers, but in the winter we always walk because there is a lot of snow. After school. I do my homework and then I help my dad to feed our animals. If I have time, I help my mum and dad cook the dinner. I love cooking, especially cakes.

My family and I do a lot of outdoor activities. I like trekking and I play tennis too. I’m quite good at it! My brothers and dad fish every Sunday at a nearby lake. Mum likes gardening to playing sports and she wants to start yoga classes in the autumn. That’s all about me!

Camping

Day 1

I’m sitting in my tent. We are camping tonight in the outback. I’m feeling scared because there are dangerous snakes and spiders out there! We set off from Darwin at 7 this morning and we have been at the campsite for three hours now. We have just eaten dinner under the stars and it tasted amazing.

Day 4

It’s night time and I’m writing this by torchlight. This morning, Dad and I went snorkeling for the third time in the sea. It has been fantastic every time! We have seen lots of different fish and we have seen two turtles since Tuesday! My mum says turtles are endangered in this part of Australia. She’s working on project to find out why turtles and fish are dying. Project help to keep wildlife safe and free to live in the wild. My mum collects bits a rubbish from the beach and sea.

Can’t wait for tomorrow- Dad and I are going out on a boat trip.

 Camels

Camels live in the dessert of Africa, Asia, and Australia. They carry people and things across the dessert. Before travelling across the dessert, a camel eats a lot of food and drinks a lot of water. The food is stored as fat in the hump on the camel’s back.

When the camel crosses the dessert, it uses the fat in its hump as food and water. A camel can live for a week without drinking water! At the beginning of the trip, the camel’s hump is big and fat. At the end of the trip. Its hump is much smaller.
