My FAVOURITE way to spend a sunny day outside is…

… to sit in the garden and play Moshi Monsters’ Village on the iPad all day.  BUT...  it would be more exciting if I went to the moon!

Me in space

Now you might say that you cannot go to the moon on a sunny day. But remember that it is always sunny in space. And a sunny day is followed by a starry night.

If I flew to the moon I would need to be strapped in tight.
Strapped in tight.
Strapped in tight to my seat.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket waiting to take off.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket waiting to take off ready to zoom to the moon.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket waiting to take off ready to zoom to the moon really fast.

I would go in my rocket and I would go higher than anything else.
I would fly through the layers of the earth’s atmosphere.
Fly through the troposphere.
Up through the stratosphere.
On through the mesosphere.
Out through the thermosphere.
Then out into the exosphere.
Out into space.

I would go shooting around the stars and planets.
Visit Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Fly past the stars. Those great big burning balls of fire. Intense heat. Bright lights. Twinkling. Shining. Dazzling. Burning. Amazing.

Then back, back, back to land on the moon.

Me landing on the moon

I’d kick a football on the moon. It would never come back. It would just keep on floating away. Far away.
From the moon, I would look down and see the earth.
Looking at that blue balloon, I would imagine my friends, at school, talking about Moshi Monsters.
I would imagine the cars driving down the streets.
I would imagine the planes flying through the sky.
I would imagine people eating chocolate.
I would imagine people looking up at the moon, but not seeing me there.

On my trip to the moon, I would take my whole family.
My brother, my sister, my mummy and daddy.
We would all be there.
On the moon.
Together.

I would play with them.
I would play tennis with my little brother Daniel.
I would play pool with Daddy
I would play chess with Mummy.
And I would play bounce with my little sister Trinity.

Me and my dad took this photo of the moon with the camera through the telescope.

I love watching the moon through my Mummy’s telescope.
These are the things I have seen
Stars
Mars
Jupiter
Jupiter’s moons
And the moon.

And I want to go to the moon.
Strapped in tight.
Strapped in tight to my seat.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket waiting to take off.
Strapped in tight to my seat in a rocket waiting to take off ready to zoom to the moon.
