Have you ever wondered how astronauts shower in space? Well I’m here to tell you!

Well, in space you have to run twice a day and you must get SUPER sweaty. So you must take a shower. But of course the showers won’t  be the same as on Earth because there is no gravity!          

Astronauts use small water pouches with pre-mixed soapy water which attaches to the wall with velcro strips so it does not fly away. They also have small hand towels to help clean their face and hair. The astronauts have little pottles of runny shampoo.

Ok so right now you’re probably wondering how they actually take a shower. First the astronauts take the water pouch and squeeze the water on the hand towel and dab it on their face. Then they squirt some shampoo around their hair and dab some more water on themselves finally they dry their hair.  

AND THAT’S HOW YOU SHOWER IN SPACE!!!

Oh,Hi, have you ever wondered how astronauts eat in space? Well, if you do you ain’t have to anymore because… i’m going to tell you! So you just sit back and enjoy the explanation!

In space, even in the space station the gravity isn’t the same here on earth. This means that when you want something to eat you can’t have your normal snack.

Why? Because the oxygen and the gravity affects how the food stays healthy. Every source of food is kept in zip lock plastic bags. 

Firstly, you need to get everything ready. For instance, what if you wanted to have a honey and peanut butter sandwich.

 Well first you need bread, oh, i just forgot you can’t use bread in space, you have to use a tortilla! Because when you make crumbs, in space they just float away and you have to go chasing after them! And because the bread isn’t used to it’s new surroundings it goes all soggy.

Ok, we’re back in business!

Now we need the honey, oh it’s actually in a jar! WOW, (not used to that)! 

Well, you have to be very careful when you’re pouring your honey! WAIT, do you solemnly swear to pour your honey carefully?!

Ok, here we go! Yes! It’s on oh, and never let go of your tortilla because the tortilla (and everything on it) will go everywhere! 

Now the peanut butter, (just do exactly the same thing).

And now, before your eyes you see a peanut butter and honey sandwich made in space. THANKS for watching!

My dad is bald. He’s got wrinkles. He plays baseball with me. He always lets me on the ipad. Every Thursday he lets my family watch Lego masters Australia. There’s a problem he does not let me have play dates but only on weekends. He farts a lot? Well let’s get on to the next thing. He sneaks into the fridge at night and eats the chocolate.

My mum has shiny straight hair that is brown with a tinge of blonde. She has glittering dark brown eyes with a vibrant colour.She wears radiant earrings that shine. She has a beautiful smile that stands out.

My mum is a kind person. She always helps people when they’re in trouble. She loves making  me and Nico happy. She is mindful and caring.

My mum LOVES chocolate!!!!! In my opinion my mum has a good taste  in music. She also likes company.

My mum doesn’t like me and  Nico fighting. She also doesn’t like when my dad does atrocious poos in the bathroom. So I think I got lucky with my mum!!!! 

       

Lulu, Lulu has curly dark blond hair, huge big blue eyes and ALWAYS wears ponytails to school. Sometimes she can be very irritating.(she mainly does that to annoy me on purpose). She likes wearing skirts and dresses.She also likes going on the trampoline, colouring, camping, eating chocolate, watching T.V and riding her bike. Now, Lulu HATES fish and vegetables. Lulu ESPECIALLY hates broccoli and spinach. When we go out, sometimes she can be occasionally enjoyable and funny, but usually at home she is just annoying. Lulu loves playing. She is one of my younger sisters. Lulu is six years old, and nearly seven.

My grandad has brown skin a sweet smile, kind greenish blueish eyes with black, curly, wavy hair.

My grandad loves seafood, his boat, sweets, me, my brother Tama, his daughter (my mum ), my dad and his wife (my nanny) .

My grandad dislikes mean people, me and my brother fighting, and being dead. My grandad lives in Wellington with my nanny and works for a cleaning company in the city in Wellington.

I love her so much. When her hair shines in the soft glow of the sun it is extremely beautiful. I must say I am so lucky to have such a lovey person in my life. She is like the glow in me- like the sun. Wait! Lets not forget she’s mean- nah! j-Just kidding! Her eyes are like a blue sea flowing wave after wave. Her eyes are beautiful and her shirt. I’m loving it- it’s amazing.

I have stabbed the scissors in the wall
that were too sharp too pointy
and you were probably very mad about
forgive me
they were so pointy so unforgiving and so dangerous
you should be thanking me for this safety lesson
