Shantytown reflection

My Visit to shantytown

I was in the van to go to Shantytown when we got there there were 2 ladies there to explain the rules, there names were Miss Barber, Miss Mares , Miss Mares was in charge of getting the boys to act like gentleman and Miss Barber was in charge of making the girls act like young women. First we got dressed I got in a blue dress. Then we went and had morning tea after morning tea we went and watched a short clip of the old days. Then we got ready to go on the train the boys had to greet the girls as we walked on the train we went and took a photo then Miss Barber gave us gold and the boys called out G O L D gold and a burglar came with a gun and told us to give the gold and half of the girls freaked out but I knew it was fake. Then we had to find the burglar and we found him his name was Slim. We had lunch then after lunch we made a play about a girl named jane who works at a bar and got accused of stealing a watch and we had two side the defending and the offending I owned the Bar and I had to say have the 2 men had any debts or drank too much in the end she was innocent and the watch she had was her fathers because it had the initials JS (James Symmons)

Wonderopolis Writing:

http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/do-animals-dream

If you watched a dog sleep you will think that it dreams. A dog deep asleep will twitch, move and moan as if it was dreaming about running through a land made of bones big Juicy bones.

But the question is can animals actually dream?

Scientists would agree the same with any animal lover you might ask. Animals indeed appear to dream like any human. But how do Scientists know did the ask different species of animals?

No they did not Animals can’t talk to us about their dreams. But humans wish they could talk to us like they do in the movies or books.

But Scientists need to be more smart than that to know Do Animals dream?

Researchers from Cambridge University studies conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to conclude that animals can dream. Animals can have very complex dreams about memories or moments while they were awake.
