Storks

There is Vice for the penguins I think.

My favourite scene in the movie is when-  

A girl named Tulip and a stork named Junior  came up with this cool armour made of cardboard. They went and tried to get the baby back from the penguins. The baby was still asleep .All of these Penguins looked at Tulip and the stork and they said “shhhhh.” Then one of the penguins threw a fork and it hit the stork on the leg, the stork got the fork and threw it back to the Penguin. The Penguin screamed and somehow the penguin got a pillow and put it on his face so when he screamed, he wouldn’t make a loud noise.

Jupiter’s Moon spewing water jets

Do you believe this,the calculation based on the 2013-reported work estimated a volume of water equivalent to an Olympic swimming pool could be spewed into space about every eight minutes. New evidence has shown that Jupiter’s icy moon Europa throws jets of water out into space. Scientists first reported the behavior in 2013 using the Hubble telescope, but now a follow-up sighting is significant because Europa is one of the most likely places to find microbial life beyond Earth because of its huge ocean of liquid water.

That is all of the teams, my team is NZ we had 10 people in our team. Afterwards we all started the games we first Vs Turkey at egg and spoon race. 

It was fun, we lost but it didn't matter about winning, it was all about the sportsmanship and leadership. We had 4 rotations, It was very fun, my most favorite game was the long jump and i like helping the little kids play. Eventually we lined up, then the teachers gave out the medal, at once I thought I wasn't going to get a medal but then I heard my name, I felt so cheerful. Then we finished off by singing the NZ anthem.
