I am thankful for Australia and America because they are both good countries. I am thankful for a lot of things like food to eat, water to drink, a house to live in, my family and Thanksgiving feast. We don’t have Thanksgiving in Australia so it is something new for us. It is a fun day. I’m also glad I get to play on the swings at recess.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a funny group of basketball players.

Over the years they have played over 20,000 games in 120 countries.

The team started playing in 1926 in Chicago. Their team colors are white, blue and red. Globie is their mascot. Stretch Middleton is their tallest current player. He is 7’4″ tall! He is the third tallest in Globetrotters history.

Their acts often show the players doing cool tricks like passing, juggling, balancing and spinning the ball on their finger tips. And they also make crazy and hard shots.

I went to watch a game at the Moda Centre with my family this year. One guy even stood on the hoop, caught the ball, shot the ball through the hoop then did a flip off the hoop. It was really cool. I also got a Harlem Globetrotters basketball. It was a fun night!

The Tiger Shark is a mysterious and sneaky animal. They like to live in warm water because they don’t like the cold. Be very careful if you go out at night near the water because that’s when they come out  and seek their prey. They eat most anything.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little sick. I think it was because I was a little scared. I didn’t know what was going to happen and I didn’t like that. My Mum told me everything would be ok and I would have fun.

I got to school then did 10 minutes of math. Then got ready and got on the bus. I sat next to my friend Walker. We had a toilet break around the corner from Lelooska. We got off the bus and went to the museum first. It was in Washington. We learned the more feathers you have, the more special you are. We heard a story and they danced. The wore costumes and masks. They told us what they were called, but I have forgotten. They were a little funny. They had a fire started and one of them squeaked. It was a thumbs up! I liked it a lot.

Then we got back on the bus. We got off at a park and had lunch. I played on the flying fox and monkey bars. I ran a lot to burn off some energy because I knew we had a long bus ride back to school. We got back on the bus and got back to school.

When we got back to the classroom, I shared my beanie boo raccoon with the class. It was a birthday present from my little brother Dexter.

I liked the Lelooska field trip. Even though I was scared to start with, it was a fun day to remember.
