Cameron's Uncle's Skype Call From The Village

The 2014 Commonwealth Games are in Glasgow, Scotland. This morning at 9.00 room 6 and 8 interviewed him from the Commonwealth village. Over in Scotland was 10.00. We were very lucky to talk to Craig Palmer which is Cameron’s and Thomas’s uncle. He is in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games

We asked him questions about the Commonwealth Games. A girl from room 8 asked “how many Commonwealth Games have you been to?” He answered back saying

“I have  been in two Commonwealth Games , In 2006 I went to Melbourne, Australia, so this is my second time going to the Commonwealth Games.”

His job is being a cyclist scientist. He collects the details to make a training program. He told us that the bikes do not  have any spokes. The bikes are very light and are made out of carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is very light and strong. Carbon fibre makes things go faster because it is very light. He also makes sure, that he gets the best out of the bikes and to make the bikes more aerodynamic.

The Commonwealth Games go for at least two weeks , or just short of two weeks.There are approximately about 320 athletes (or just short) from New Zealand that are competing in the Commonwealth Games. He meets with other athletes from New Zealand in different sports. The racing starts Friday morning New Zealand time. In Scotland it would start Thursday. The length of the velodrome track is 250 metres long. The athletes train for most of their lives. They also train every day.  

He even showed us the Scottish mascot. It had a kilt and a white Scottish hat. The Commonwealth Games is, all the countries that the queen owns. Craig, Cameron and Thomas’s uncle showed us the Commonwealth Games village with all the rooms for the athletes to stay in. Then in a little white tent outside there was some spa pools.Then Miss H asked Craig to show us all that it was ten o'clock at night in Glasgow. So he showed us out the window to see the village and the sky. Since Scotland is so close to the North Pole, was still a lot of light in the sky.

Mars part 2

I grabbed the bottle of water so ,Ninja ,Sam and me could have a drink. By half way the water was all gone. So I locked everything in my rocket. Then we all  walked into the distance. I was looking back every now and then to see my rocket. It took 4 hours to walk to Morts house. We eventually got there. Me, Ninja and Sam were really tired from walking for 4 hours. Morts wasn't tired.

Then we got to the door and knocked. Then a old lady answered the door. Mort said that it was his grandma. We walked in the door. I said what a beautiful house you have here. Its fantastic isn't it said Morts grandma. I was the last in so I shut the door. Then Mort introduced us. This is Jared. Ninja the cat. Sam the dog. They are from planet Earth. Then Morts family started to  introduced themselves to us. Hi im Bobby Morts dad. You can call me Bob for short. I'm Betty,Morts grandma. Im Darrell his grandpa. Hello im Michelle morts aunt. Hi Jared im Tom. “Its a pleasure to meet you all” I spoke. Would you like something to drink asked Morts grandma. I replied saying yes please. Ninja and Sam do you want something. Yes I'll have a drink of water. I,ll have it two please. Make that three drinks of water. “Ok” said Betty. 2 minutes later Betty comes back with 2 bowls and 1 glass cup filled with water. I skulled it back because I was really thirsty from the 4 hour walk.

Then all of Morts family asked me,Ninja and Sam if we could stay for tea. I said what are you going to cook for tea. You can pick what you want for tea. I said do you like pasta. They all said we do. Fish do you like that. Yes they replied. Cheese yep. Creamy pasta sauce yes. Ok lets make Tuna bake pasta. Or should we use Salmon. I said why don't we use both. Everyone agreed on that. I ended up not using the food that I took with me. So we did end up having that for dinner. 20 minutes later it was finished baking in the oven for 20 minutes. I sliced it up into how much everyone wanted. I had the biggest piece because I was the guest. It was delicious. Creamy,cheesy,juicy and full of flavour. Everyone said you can cook again for all of us some time again. “Thank you everyone” I said. Then Betty asked if she could have the recipe. So I wrote it down on a piece of paper.“Thank you said Betty”.“You are welcome”. Well I have to go in the morning to go back to the planet Earth. So we stayed the night at Morts house.

Then I woke up on the couch and got up. I woke up to smelling bacon sizzling. Darrell was cooking some yummy streaky bacon. He said would you like some bacon and I said yes please. Can Ninja and Sam have some bacon too. He replied they sure can. Then he was cooking scrambled eggs. He put some salt and pepper into the the eggs. Then some milk. Finally they were scrambled. Then everyone else that was a sleep got up and walked to the kitchen table. Then Betty made some pancakes. They were cooked. Then Betty got the golden syrup. Then I ate all of my breakfast up. Sam and Ninja ate all of there bacon. Then I said we better go now back to planet earth. So I said goodbye to everyone and said its nice meeting you all. Everyone said bye.

So 4 hours later walking back to the spaceship. Then we grabbed all of our stuff. Then put it all in the rocket. Back up to the cabin. Then I made sure that the door was sealed. Then locked it. Then we blasted of the planet Mars back to Earth. 7 months later we have arrived back on planet Earth. Ninja and Sam said awesome we are home.

I will take a small gas bottle and stove with me so I can cook. Its time to launch my rocket. I climb up the ladder to my rocket and I put the water in the fridge. Then the cheese, sausages,basil,chicken into the fridge as well. Then I put the crackers and potatoes in the cupboard. Then I go back upstairs and grab my cat and dog food. I climb up again and walk over to the cupboard and put them by the crackers. Then down the ladder, upstairs again to get my cat and dog. I take my cat up the ladder. My pets beds. Then put it just inside the door. Then down the ladder once more to grab my dog. I grabbed the chain and attached it to his collar. Locked all the doors and back up the ladder to my rocket with my dog. Shut the door and make sure that it is sealed. Started up the rockets and waited for them to warm up. I blasted off the ground at 600km, on the way up I start to come through the clouds and its a bit blurry.

Then suddenly there was an alien that was red. It had red fur covering from head to toe. He had a green tail. His eyes were light blue. Then I spoke to it and I said hi. Im not sure if hes a boy or a girl. It spoke back and said hello. “What is your name”. He replied back i'm Mort. “Hi im Jared”. “Are you a boy or a girl” I spoke. He got scared because he saw Sam. Sam yelled out hi. He sprinted to see what the red object was by me. “Who is that” said Sam. Its Mort, he lives on Mars. Oh. How old are you I said.” I'm 5” said Mort. Then I introduced everyone. This is Mort. Mort this is Sam. Then Ninja walked out of his bed to see what all the racket was. Then I finally said this is Ninja. Ninja this is mort. He is 5 years old. Do you have any parents or any family Ninja asked. Yeah I have got a dad,brother,nana,aunt and a grandad. It is just me, Ninja and Sam that came. Where is all of your family I asked Mort. There at my house. My dad told me to go play outside,so I did. Thats when I discovered your rocket here. “Ok” I replied. Where is your house asked Ninja. Can you all see that yellow dot in the distance. Yes is that your house I asked . Mort said it was. Ok we all said. Do you allow guests at your house. I think so. Then Mort asked us a question.
