Four Cool Events: By Brady Watts

Number One: The Swimming Pool Fire

We were out at the swimming pool called the Wanderer’s Club having fun. I was diving for diving stuff. But then we saw flames bursting up above the pump house and then they died down really fast. Then, all there was, was smoke. We ran out of the swimming pool through the bridge and out. We were right in between two poles. After a while the firemen came running in with fire extinguishers and a hose, spraying it and putting the fire out. It was cool watching the firefighters but it was scary thinking about the whole thing burning down. We had dinner then at the Wanderer’s restaurant, a great dinner, I had pasta, and then we went home.

Number Two: The Dubai Drums

Last night we went to the Dubai Drums. It was very cool. At first, there were just two people with a guitar playing for two songs (Spanish style). But then the whole band came out and played with the guitar people and it was very fun. After that in the second half they gave people lots of drums to drum with them. They told us to do what we felt was the right beat to fit the people around us.

Number Three: Australian International School of Sharjah

Yesterday we went to the school for an assessment. Our Grandma arrived in the signing up room and then after a little while everybody who were the teachers brought us for the assessment. It took a long time. It was a test that we had to do. I did it on paper but the rest of the class did it on the computer. I didn’t know how to use the computer and the teachers were really kind of surprised you know. One day later we found out that I passed the test and I could be in the grade I wanted to be.

Number Four: Arabian Wildlife Center

First we started driving. We forgot that was the wrong turn. We turned at the wrong time and we got lost. But soon we caught up and arrived at the Arabian Wildlife Center. It was really cool with dark places with bats, little windows to see the habitat and another place where you just looked out the window where there were jaguars right next to the walkway. We never had to go outside. It was a long walkway which went squiggly with lots of turns and sometimes we went through vines hanging from the ceiling and we saw not only the habitat but we were inside the habitat looking at all the birds in the desert around us. After that we got to see how the big waterfall was coming down from part of the desert. It was cool. Before that even, we saw bats. They were flying around behind the glass, hanging from the walls of the cave behind the glass and looking as if they were going to land on one of our heads. It was a great place and a great time.

The four cool events were very awesome! I hope you had a great time reading this story. Bye!
