Image Five
The Great Southern Pacific Express. It's hard to see at this angle, especially late in the afternoon with a storm coming, but it's all polished timber. Mmm, talk about LUXURY! Man, you should see inside this thing. It's like Buckingham Palace! Stay tuned to the website. Kirby's trying to go in for a rare glimpse!
Class Project
If you could build an extra train station in your town, where would you put it? Near a busy shopping centre? Near a scary cemetary? Or somewhere else? Draw a map of your local town, change all the street names to sound like they belong in a horror movie. Then mark where you'd put a ghost station and write a funny or scary story about a strange crime happening there. Make sure you include descriptions of weird smells and noises and use your map as an illustration for a treasure or tourist map in the story.
Science Experiment
Make small stains on many small bits of white material, using mud, grass, vegetable oil, chocolate mousse and charcoal from a fire, then try using lemons, vinegar, soap and sand on each of them to see which cleaners are best for each.
