Carli's Narrative

Under The Bed

As I sit there slaving around after my family, I watch my brother getting beaten for not collecting the firewood. My name is Miya and I live in South America, my family is very poor - I live in a house made of mud, flax and bamboo. In our house we have only two beds, one for Aunty and one for Dad. My mum died only two years ago from not eating and drinking enough. My brother and I haven’t started school yet because we have to work to make money to buy food. My brother is 12 years old and I’m only 8. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I work at a clothing shop, that’s how I got my pretty new blue dress but Dad wasn’t very impressed because I didn’t get paid that week. I’m too young to get beaten so I was punished and was not allowed eating for three days and doing a double lot of chores for a week. My life is bland and boring - there is nothing enjoyable about it.

This morning when I woke up I gave a quick glance around the room and to my surprise I found my Aunty spread out in the middle of the floor. I raced over as fast as I could, but there was no movement what so ever. I went outside to get some help there was no one in sight. I ran back to her side the only thing that I felt like I could do was to grab my teddy, hold it tight and pray. I had never done that before but I couldn’t think of anything else to do. I sat on my knees and tightly squeezed hers and the teddy’s hand and prayed with all I had. I then grabbed the only blanket we had. It was old and brittle. I wrapped it around her thin, bony body and waited for about 10 minutes.  Suddenly I saw movement, her eyes slightly opened and she squeezed my hand tighter. She opened her mouth and mumbled to me ‘under my bed is a box, when I am gone, get it and never come back’.

Later that afternoon I heard a shriek. I ran back into my room there was no sign of Aunty: she had vanished. I looked out on the roads there was only an old lonely man that lived across the street, who was stumbling about alongside of the road but he was harmless. So I followed her instructions. I crept into her cold, dark room and knelt down on her cold unbalanced floor. I lifted up her slim frail sheets only to find that there was nothing under her bed it was completely empty nothing in sight. I wondered to myself why she would give me false information, why would she tell me that if it wasn’t true. How come when she vanished so did the box. Then I started to wonder if there ever was a box, but she wouldn’t lie to me would she. I guess whatever was in the box must have been important enough to tell me never to come back. My mind was completely stumped.

Later that night Dad came home. I tried to tell him about what happened to aunty but he was really angry. He hurt my brother and I. He threw stuff at us and abused us. So my brother and I ran. We ran into the richest place about eight blocks down the road we put on our cutest faces and politely asked if we could use the phone. We rang the police. We felt really guilty but at the same time, pleased.

Dad was put into jail and we now live eight blocks down from our old house in the richest house on the road. We start school next week and we have our own beds. We still have to do chores but this time we get the money. We can spend it on anything we like I might even buy a red dress. But every day I think about what could have been under the bed.

The First Day

what a suprise

It was a late Autumn afternoon a week before my birthday, when my mum seemed like she was in a hurry to take me home. At that moment I knew something was up. I signed myself off and hopped into the car.

For some reason my mum looked really nervous, like she was hiding something.  And it turned out she was. I saw checking her rear view mirror every five minutes so I looked back and there sitting in a small cage was the tinniest little Burman x Tonkinese kitten I nearly cried I was so happy.  Mum was a bit upset that I found out before we got home but she was pleased to see the way I reacted.

Shark Tale

This is a story of when my parents were in South Africa cage diving with sharks. “I’m scared of this” My mum said. My Mum and Dad got there suits on and got into the cage. Only they were in for a big surprise.

 They were lowered down into the water. Then after a few minutes of waiting a Great White Shark started swimming around them. “Whoa” My Dad mumbled to himself. Suddenly there was a bang on the cage behind them. They slowly turned around and saw a huge Great White banging into the cage.

“AHHHHHHHHHH” My Mum screamed as the cage was pulled up to the surface. “A good couple of hours of watching” My Dad said starting to laugh.  And that was the day my Mum and Dad had a huge surprise and found out how strong Great White Sharks really are.

Gabby lance's lab

Millionaire lance bass is going to space to raise 3 million dollars for poor people but he has to create music, relax, do educational experiments and live comfortably for 3 months.

Music  

In space where lance does his music everything must be strapped or bolted down when he plays. He plays the guitar and communicates with his friends to help perform his music.

Living

When lance lives in space he needs a TV which is bolted and strapped to the floor and wall.  For his seat it is also bolted to the floor and one strap around the waist to make him not to float around the room. For the bed he straps himself in too, and pulls the covers over.

Conclusion

Lance bass gone up to space to raise 3 million dollars to donate to the very hungry   and very poor. He will do this by living in space and producing his music doing science and communicating it back to earth.

Josh Lances Lab

Pop star Lance Bass has been sent to live in space for three months. He has to cope with day to day tasks like eating, sleeping, washing and going to the toilet. He also has to record music, do experim ents as well as dealing with the difficulties of living in space.

Washing

 When Lance has a wash he uses water that is in a tube and a cloth that is velcroed to the wall also on the wall there is toothpaste, a toothbrush, and towels.

Food/Cooking

  Lances food is stored in cans, packets and tubes. He has water as well but he has to use it sparingly because there is not much of it. To cook or heat up his food he has a microwave with straps inside to hold the food down.

Sleep/Exercise

 Lance has a sleeping bag on the wall because there is no gravity. If you just had a bed on the ground you would float away. Lance has a treadmill 5000 for his exercise. He uses it to keep fit. His treadmill has shoulder straps on it to hold him down.

Toilet/Communication

  Lances toilet is like a normal but it uses suction because if it didn’t waste would float away. There is a suction pipe for urinating as well. Lance has computers and an ipad which have Skype, Face book and other communication tools installed, with these programs he can communicate with his friends and family back on Earth.

Recording music

 Lance has his own recording studio equipped with microphones, computers to record the music and headphones. For his instruments he has drums, piano and a guitar. He has soundproof walls so he doesn’t disturb the other astronauts.

Relaxing/Experiments

 When Lance wants to have fun or simply relax he has computers and an I pad to play on. He has a big 50” L.E.D T.V that he can watch DVD’s on. Lance has experimental gear that he will use. Two experiments Lance will work on are 1) why do you start to lose your memory in space. 2) Why your taste buds don’t work as well in space.

Lance will enjoy his trip and love his module. He will learn a lot about space. Lance will discover how difficult it is to live there.     

                  Sasha's Lance's Lab Report

For educational purposes, Lance Bass is going into space and facing the challenges that would seem so easy on the Earth’s atmosphere.  Everything in space is so much different to the life we live on Earth.  For three months he is going to do everything he did on earth- daily life, communicating with  family and friends, record music and do experiments, but in space.

Daily life is complicated because in space, as everything is so different than it was on Earth, even the simplest things are designed around the fact that space hasn’t got much gravity.                                                                                                                          Toileting in space has such a dramatic change from toileting on Earth. The toilet tube is like a huge pipe that connects onto an automatic pressure sewer, which is like a large fan that sucks the waste into a big metal box but prevents it from floating back into the station.                                                                                                                       Bagged and packaged food and water sachets are much, much safer than open food.  With all the open electricity, satellites and power cords, Lance is careful not to let liquid touch them or they will not function properly.  The food in cans and sachets are put into a small, roundish plastic bag. To open the hole in which the person eats out of, the person will have to squeeze the air bubbles on either side of the hole.                                                                                                                                              Exercising is very important, just like on Earth. If some people don’t exercise on Earth they will get larger, and lazier. Since there is no gravity in space, the usual treadmill and weights won’t work as well as they did on Earth. Lance’s treadmill is hooked up to the power cord and is connected to the wall. There is a rope to tie the person onto and electronic handcuffs to keep the person safe. The running part is the same as running on Earth.                                                                                                 Washing and bathing is probably the hardest part of living, in space. As Lance is not allowed to use much water, because of all the open electronic equipment, his washing machine and dryer are designed to work differently. His washing machine uses as little water as possible and he has a quick drying soapy sanitizer for his clothes.  It has a fragrance of orange and is very useful to remove stains of any kind.  His dryer works for five minutes at a time.  It uses hot air that is more than 60°c.  Lance brushes his teeth very much the same as he did on Earth. For this he also uses little water. He gets a flannel, washes and dries the toothbrush on it. For washing his face he also uses the flannel but dries his face with a dry cloth.                            Sleeping is one of the resources your body needs most. Lance sleeps on a metal bed that is bolted into the wall and has straps to hold his body and bedding down securely.  His bedding includes: a thermal, heated sleeping bag with a steel headrest and a normal pillow.                                                                                                        Relaxation is a normal part of everyday life. Since Lance is not with his family and friends, he tends to use the computer a lot. On his space craft, he has a specific satellite for communication. But even so, Lance is not alone. He has scientists working with him and has a couple of his not-so-close friends.                             Communication in space is just as important as it was on Earth. As there aren’t any phones or cell phones that are able to work on the space station, Lance has two computers that he uses repeatedly. He makes use of Twitter, Face book and Skype.  Lance has a Skype- camera that he uses when he is talking to the people he is communicating with.                                                                                                                Music is an important part of Lance’s career. Since Lance is a pop star he is to be provided with special equipment to use in space. He use equipment such as a voice recorder- that plugs into his computer, a guitar- that has a Velcro band around it which he can attach to another piece of Velcro when it is not in use, and his most priceless instrument- his voice.                                                                                           Experiments are part of a required education programme.  Lance is experimenting on why people lose their minds in space.  He needs to study books and use the Wikipedia set up in his computer.  In his lab, Lance has a very special head piece that is designed to look in the chosen person’s brain and sends the information into the computer. This headpiece is used to find out why people lose their minds. Lance is waiting for the right time to use this particular piece of equipment.  In his spare time he reads the selected space books on his bookshelf. 

 At the end of the three months in space, Lance will come back to share his experiences and how living in space changed his life.

Rebekah's Lances Lab Report

Pop star Lance Bass has moved into space and is living on the international space station. His module is his new home, so it has to have everything he needs to live, record music, do science experiments, have fun and relax.

 Recording Music

His music area has specialised equipment such as a Skype TV to talk with and play to his producers, and a 2011 model laptop with an exceptional voice recorder to record his music. He also has a guitar to try out and play new songs. On his laptop he can send his recorded music to earth through a satellite internet connection.

Science Experiments

Lance has a new science lab to carry out educated experiments. His science table is firmly bolted to the ground with bottles attached to the surface of the table. On his wall behind his experimental table are pieces of metal that can clutch bottles so they don’t float away. One of his experiments is to make a formula that can keep him from becoming ill in space. He also experiments on ball point pens. Lance is attempting to find out why they do not work in space. There is no gravity in space so the ink can’t run to the tip of the pen. He has a TV to communicate to children on earth and educate them on his experiments.

Daily life.

Mr Bass has all the things he needs to live. At the end of his module is a toilet which he can use in space. His toilet uses a suction pump and his human waste is put into a large sewer at the end of the space station. The suction pump is crucial in space because there is no gravity. He also has a washing machine that uses very little water and because there is no gravity in space the clothes tumble around by themselves. His dryer is almost the same, but instead of uses water it shoots out hot air to dry the clothing. He has three beds with straps to hold him down so he can sleep without hitting his head or body on surrounding objects such as the roof or the bottom of the next bed above him. He has cupboards that are attached to the wall, that contain prepared and cooked meals and snacks. His cooked and prepared meals and snacks to eat in space are different and because there is no gravity in space water or any fluids form bubbles. In space lance must be careful with water because there is a lot of electronic devices in his module.

Fun and relaxation.

Lance Bass has a giant flat screen TV that is connected with the satellite dishes. He has a game arcade with 40 loaded games that he can play when he needs to relax and have fun. He has a comfortable bean bag with straps to hold him down. The bean bag is bolted to the ground so it can’t float. This is a place where he can have fun and rest.

Pop star Lance Bass has everything he needs in space to live a daily life, record music, do educated experiments and communicate back to his friends and family on earth. There are many challenges while living in space such as water mixing with electronic devices, communication back to friends on earth, and living without gravity.

By Rebekah Robb

A famous pop star named Lance is going into space for three months to do experiments; Lance has to discover the difficulties in space. He already knows some of the difficulties and they are know gravity and know power. This is going to be really hard for Lance because it’s nothing like earth.

Daily LIVING

To go to the toilet in space, Lance has a suction pipe for all his business and this goes into a tank, and to wash his hands he puts a little bit of water and soap on his towel and soap and rubs it on his hands. When Lance goes to bed, he is strapped into his bed but not too tight so it isn’t uncomfortable, and to keep him warm Lance sleeps in a fluffy soft sleeping bag. To wash Lances clothing he hand washes them. He rubs soapy water on them and he does this in the shower because he doesn’t want any cords or special things to get wet.  To dry his clothes Lance has a blowing hot air pipe that makes his clothes soft and puffy. Eating in space is difficult because everything floats so he has to grab hold of his food very well. When he drinks Lance has a straw and when he twists it, it opens so all the drink doesn’t come squirting out. Lance has a lot of canned food and stores it in a cupboard so it won’t go floating away.

Exercising

To work all his food off, Lance has a treadmill which he is strapped to. He also has an ab- circle- pro that swings side to side and this is to tone his abs. When Lance works out he moves very slow and this makes it harder for him.

Experimenting

Lance is experimenting in space he is going to see if you can grow thing in space. He is going to plant a seed on the moon. Scientist have realised that in space you. So Lance is going to find out why you lose that in space. Lance is going to see if there is living creatures in space like aliens..

Communication

Lance communicates with his family and friends on his laptop by face book and Skype on the internet. Lance has an international space station. This is a very special device. Lance likes to communicate because he likes to know what is happening on earth, and he can tell them what is going on up in space.

Music

Lance is a pop star and still needs to focus on his music. He records songs. The instruments that he uses are a guitar and a recorder. He has a microphone and some head phone he puts the head phones on his head, and he sings into the microphone this is so he can hear himself. The microphone stand is bolted to the floor so he can sing peacefully. Lance’s instruments are vectored to the wall. His music room is sound proof and it has a lot of buttons to edit his music. The lab is his favourite room.

So this is what Lance has to put with in space for three months!.

Lance's Lab

Lance Bass the pop star is going into space for three months. These are the requirements for living in the space station.

SLEEPING

          Lance has to have a special bed. His bed is just below the ceiling facing up. He is strapped in the bed so he doesn’t bump into walls and float around the room. The straps are tight but roomy enough to move.

Lances Lab Report

 Lance Bass the singing superstar is going to space for three months and will be staying on the ISS (International Space Station). This report will outline what his compartment will be like in space, how he records music and how he communicates back to earth.

Living

Lances everyday tasks in space are much different than back on earth. The food defiantly not the same to earths. Lance can’t have normal food because it would float everywhere so instead Lance’s food is contained in cans but not the average can it’s been designed pacifically for space. Food is stored in big sacks which are held down by straps and Velcro.

The toilet isn’t a normal toilet. Instead of having water to flush it, it has a suction valve at the bottom so when you do your business it sucks it straight into a tank.

Due to there being no gravity lance will be sleeping in a bed similar to a coffin. This coffin has air holes around it. On the inside there are straps to strap him in and a latch so he can get in and out. He does have a washing machine in space. It uses very little water and has suction vents at the bottom to stop the clothes from floating everywhere in the machine.

He relaxes by listening to music on the laptop and playing computer games on the laptop.

Communication   

Lance uses pretty much the same devices as we use on earth. He uses a laptop and a satellite dish to connect to such things as Facebook, Skype and Twitter. He’s got his own profiles on each of these sites so he can talk to his friends and family back on earth. On Facebook he has a special page where all he does is talk about space and what he has been through.

Music

Lance loves to record music so in space he needs a place to do that. On the ISS there is a special music room made for Lance. It has all the equipment he will need such as; a guitar, laptop and a voice recorder. His guitar but at the bottom of it there are two bits of Velcro. That is necessary when he is playing it so it doesn’t float everywhere.

He uses his voice recorder for recording his vocals. He uses a programme where he connects his voice recorder into his laptop and it downloads his music and sends it to his producer back on earth using the satellite.

Space

Lance didn’t just go to space for the experience, he went for the experiments. He wanted to know facts like how do you write, read and most of all eat in space. Lance  will have a difficult time trying to do the simplest thing that people do back on earth. He says he’s up for the challenge. Some foods will be hard for him to eat because being in space effects the taste buds.

While Lance is on the ISS he will have a hard time trying to work out how everything runs. He will have to find a way to make a living with what he’s got and use the resources he has to live and communicate back down to earth. He will record music in his recording room as well as study space. Lets hope Lance will really enjoy his time in space.
