Monaco by Jude Amra

This summer I visited the French Riviera which includes several towns along the coast

of southern France I learned interesting facts about the city of Monaco The principality

of Monaco is an individual independent state under the guardianship of France There is

only a road separating Monaco from France Monaco is a tiny city with an area of less

than one square mile It is ruled by Prince Albert the 2nd

Its ruling family has a rich

history dating back centuries There are about 30000 people living in Monaco with

Monte Carlo considered to be its largest city

and spend time with my grandparents and cousins

My most recent trip to Turkey was this past summer I was very excited about our

trip My mother told me that the whole trip from Rochester to my grandparentsrsquo house

would be about 26 hours Yes the flights were very long

In Turkey we were in a city called Gaziantep I stayed at my grandparentsrsquo

house I like to spend time with my grandparents because I love them and because they

play with me all the time and let me eat a lot of chocolates ndash the kinds that we cannot find

here in the United States I also get to watch television Sometimes it is difficult to

understand some Turkish words they say in the cartoons though

I celebrated my birthday at a big dinner with my family in Turkey We had lots of

food and a special ldquoAngry Birdsrdquo birthday cake It was so much fun My cousins their

friends and I played at the park It was good to meet with new kids They thought that I

spoke Turkish in a funny way ndash but that was OK

We also spent some time couple days in Arsuz Arsuz was so beautiful Biricik

and I swam in the sea collected sea shells watered the plants (and ourselves) and played

in the garden I also made a new friend My new friendrsquos name was Doruk Doruk and I

played with the ball a lot

I felt bad (and cried a little) when we were at the airport on our way back to

Rochester I wanted to stay longer in Turkey I wish we could visit Turkey more often

It was fun being in Turkey

My visit to Phillip Island Australia by Sam Scalzo

When I went to Australia I went to many places such as Phillip Island When I

was at Phillip Island I went to an old farm the penguin parade and a koala center

At the farm I milked a cow I also saw a sheepdog rounding up sheep and I looked

at baby animals The baby animals I saw were sheep and cows I also looked at the old

farmhouse the adult bed was smaller than my twin bed After the farm I went to our hotel

to check in to our rooms

After resting at the hotel I went to see the penguin parade Small penguins walked

up the beach to their nests They looked so cute There were a lot of people at the penguin

parade it is a popular activity

The next day we went to the Koala Conservation Center We walked on raised

platforms to see the koalas My favorite part about the koala center was seeing a mom

and a baby koala together

On my trip to Phillip Island I did lots of new things

The Unusual Tiger by Katherine Zhu

Once upon a time there was a tiger with brown stripes and red fur Everyone laughed at

her She was so different from the rest of them One day she could not stand it anymore

and she ran away Then she met a wise old owl he said ldquogod made you in a unique

wayrdquo Now she was very happy When she came back everyone laughed at her again

but she did not care She remembered what the owl said and she was even happier than

before

The Fall Season by Laila Abulseoud

The Fall is here

The trees are colorful as I walk through the lake

I smell the fresh air

I hear the birds are singing overhead

The maple tree leaves turn red orange and yellow and are falling on the ground

I like the fall better than winter because the winter is cold and all of the sudden

everything turn white

My trip to Egypt by Zakariya Nassr

I went to Egypt by airplane this summer I went with my brother and my mom

and we stayed there for six weeks We visited Cairo Asyut and Alexandria and stayed

with our family

In Cairo we saw a mosque that was 750 years old It was at Muhammad Alirsquos

citadel We also rode horses and camels at the pyramids We got to go inside the kingrsquos

pyramid and we saw the Sphinx The weather was really hot so we had to keep drinking

freezing water to keep cool

We went to Asyut to visit our great grandmother who is our momsrsquo fathersrsquo mom

We were only able to go out at night because the weather was cooler at night and the sun

was too hot to go out during the day We sat by the Nile and had ice cream every night

We went to Alexandria with our cousins from Chicago We got there by train it

only took two hours We got to our hotel and changed into our swimsuits and went to the

beach We all got stung by jellyfish It really hurt The next day we were able to go to a

beach that did not have jellyfish and we had a lot more fun there We had dinner when it

got dark We had roasted corn from the street and my cousin and I were able to help the

man fan the fire

Everywhere on the streets people sold prickly pears and they were delicious I

also enjoyed drinking sugar cane juice and I would drink it every time I went out I had

a really fun time in Egypt but my favorite part was getting to see the pyramids while

riding a camel

Zip lining in Costa Rica by Ella Hopkins

When you go zip lining in Costa Rica you ride on a bus to the area where you go zip

lining You get a vest on and you walk up stairs and when you get to the top of the stairs

you reach the first zip line The first zip line I did with a guide After that I went on

some zip lines by myself The longest zip line was nearly 1 kilometer long There were

10 zip lines all of them were pretty long except the first and second You go over a

waterfall but you land on a platform of wood One time when my mom was on a zip line

and she screamed My favorite part was going on zip line number 10 why because it

was the longest zip line When we got to the last one I wanted to do them all again If

you ever get to go zip lining I would recommend it

Finding Nemo 3-D by Martin Gardner

From the people Behind A Bugrsquos Life Monsters Inc Wall-E and Brave comes Finding

Nemo

The story of the movie from the Cinemagic website begins like this

ldquoLife along the great Barrier Reef is full of dangers when you are a tiny clownfish

And for Marlin a single parent determined to protect his only son Nemo there are

constant fears and anxieties When on his 1st day of school Nemo defies his Father

and swims off alone to investigate a boat he is suddenly scooped up by a diver as

Marlin helplessly watches Marlin turns desperate as he frantically swims off in

search for his son As he passes a school of fish he bumps in to Dory an agreeable

blue tang with severe short term memory loss who offers to help Together this

aquatic odd couple set out on an impossible mission finding themselves in

troubled waters and contending with such hazards as sharks deadly anger fishes

and a forest of jellyfish Meanwhile in a dentistrsquos office overlooking Sydney

Harbor Nemo has landed in a fish tank that is home to a colorful group of

characters who want to initiate him into their gang ldquo

Sorry this Dory is not played by Ellen DeGeneres

I would not recommend it to real young children because there are some intense images I

would recommend it to five and older Dory makes the movie really funny and it has

fabulous smooth music by Thomas Newman

Other titles from the makers of Finding Nemo are

The Toy Story Trilogy- 1995 1999 and 2010

Cars Double Movie 2006 and 2011

Ratatouille 2007

Monsters INC 2001 (which I will be reviewing when it comes out in 3-D on December

Life Cycle of a Flower by Annika Lillegard

The life cycle of a flower begins with a seed in the ground Dependent on plenty

of light and water the seed grows roots if the temperature is favorable The roots absorb

water and nutrients from the soil and bring them to the rest of the flower As the flower

grows it develops stems and leaves above ground When the plant is mature it makes

blossoms (a process called flowering) Flowers are important for the plant to reproduce

Pollen is necessary to fertilize the flower to make seeds Insects and bees transfer pollen

from one flower to another The flower wilts over time releasing the seeds to the ground

or the wind to start the life cycle of a flower over again

would be about 26 hours Yes the flights were very long

In Turkey we were in a city called Gaziantep I stayed at my grandparentsrsquo

play with me all the time and let me eat a lot of chocolates ndash the kinds that we cannot find

here in the United States I also get to watch television Sometimes it is difficult to

understand some Turkish words they say in the cartoons though

I celebrated my birthday at a big dinner with my family in Turkey We had lots of

food and a special ldquoAngry Birdsrdquo birthday cake It was so much fun My cousins their

friends and I played at the park It was good to meet with new kids They thought that I

spoke Turkish in a funny way ndash but that was OK

We also spent some time couple days in Arsuz Arsuz was so beautiful Biricik

and I swam in the sea collected sea shells watered the plants (and ourselves) and played

in the garden I also made a new friend My new friendrsquos name was Doruk Doruk and I

played with the ball a lot

My visit to Phillip Island Australia by Sam Scalzo

When I went to Australia I went to many places such as Phillip Island When I

was at Phillip Island I went to an old farm the penguin parade and a koala center

At the farm I milked a cow I also saw a sheepdog rounding up sheep and I looked

at baby animals The baby animals I saw were sheep and cows I also looked at the old

farmhouse the adult bed was smaller than my twin bed After the farm I went to our hotel

to check in to our rooms

After resting at the hotel I went to see the penguin parade Small penguins walked

up the beach to their nests They looked so cute There were a lot of people at the penguin

parade it is a popular activity

The next day we went to the Koala Conservation Center We walked on raised

platforms to see the koalas My favorite part about the koala center was seeing a mom

and a baby koala together

On my trip to Phillip Island I did lots of new things

The Fall Season by Laila Abulseoud

The Fall is here

The trees are colorful as I walk through the lake

I smell the fresh air

I hear the birds are singing overhead

The maple tree leaves turn red orange and yellow and are falling on the ground

everything turn white

My trip to Egypt by Zakariya Nassr

I went to Egypt by airplane this summer I went with my brother and my mom

and we stayed there for six weeks We visited Cairo Asyut and Alexandria and stayed

with our family

In Cairo we saw a mosque that was 750 years old It was at Muhammad Alirsquos

citadel We also rode horses and camels at the pyramids We got to go inside the kingrsquos

pyramid and we saw the Sphinx The weather was really hot so we had to keep drinking

freezing water to keep cool

We went to Asyut to visit our great grandmother who is our momsrsquo fathersrsquo mom

We were only able to go out at night because the weather was cooler at night and the sun

was too hot to go out during the day We sat by the Nile and had ice cream every night

We went to Alexandria with our cousins from Chicago We got there by train it

only took two hours We got to our hotel and changed into our swimsuits and went to the

beach We all got stung by jellyfish It really hurt The next day we were able to go to a

beach that did not have jellyfish and we had a lot more fun there We had dinner when it

got dark We had roasted corn from the street and my cousin and I were able to help the

man fan the fire

Everywhere on the streets people sold prickly pears and they were delicious I

also enjoyed drinking sugar cane juice and I would drink it every time I went out I had

a really fun time in Egypt but my favorite part was getting to see the pyramids while

riding a camel

you reach the first zip line The first zip line I did with a guide After that I went on

some zip lines by myself The longest zip line was nearly 1 kilometer long There were

10 zip lines all of them were pretty long except the first and second You go over a

and she screamed My favorite part was going on zip line number 10 why because it

was the longest zip line When we got to the last one I wanted to do them all again If

you ever get to go zip lining I would recommend it

Life Cycle of a Flower by Annika Lillegard

The life cycle of a flower begins with a seed in the ground Dependent on plenty

of light and water the seed grows roots if the temperature is favorable The roots absorb

water and nutrients from the soil and bring them to the rest of the flower As the flower

grows it develops stems and leaves above ground When the plant is mature it makes

blossoms (a process called flowering) Flowers are important for the plant to reproduce

Pollen is necessary to fertilize the flower to make seeds Insects and bees transfer pollen

from one flower to another The flower wilts over time releasing the seeds to the ground

or the wind to start the life cycle of a flower over again
