Choose your own adventure - October 2023

​Choose your own adventure – October 2023
 
Our participants decided they would like this week to choose their own adventure. If you’re new to reading our blogs this is when our team can write about anything they like! We do this once a month and we love it! This team of writers have so much to share so let’s sit back and read about it!
 
Welcome to our blog today I chat about an exciting adventure happening in November. 
 
This year I’m doing my first independent travel with my best friend Bridie we are traveling to Queensland, and we are even taking Jeff the Umbrella Bear with us.
We are staying on the Gold Coast which I love, especially the theme parks and the feel it brings.

We are planning to go visit Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, and Wet and Wild. All the parks are lots of fun and they have so much to offer.

We are catching taxis to get to all the destinations we want to go to and explore. I am so excited and a tiny bit nervous as this is my first holiday without Mum and Dad. To make me feel less nervous I’m going to message them each day. We are going to take many photos to remember this time. I’m looking forward to cooking dinner and paying for my own things while I'm away too.

On the days I’m not having a ball of fun I'm walking or going shopping. My favourite stores I have mentioned in a previous blog.

I’m going to have fun at the place we are staying too.
The reason I’m going to have fun at the resort is because they have a ropes course, jumping pillow , mini golf  and many swimming pools to choose from.
I can’t wait to go the beach as I love the beach especially because I love building sandcastles and jumping of a pier.
 
Thank you for reading our blog as you can see I’m so excited to enjoy this experience in Queensland. - Scarlett
 
 
I get to choose my own adventure today for the blog, and one of my favourite things is the Every 1 Cafe. I have learnt so much by being one of the Every 1 Cafe favorites. 
We make a team work no matter our disability. We have great teamwork skills together. We've learnt about what's a good greeting, we make sure to shake hands. And smiling is important to make people happy. It makes me happy.  I've learnt that in a cafe there are many jobs, and I am good at listening for instructions like “order up” when the coffee is ready. It's important to work well and get everything done in the time we have.
 
I use the term "watch out behind you" so my friends know I am behind them, we don't have any accidents. This is what teamwork means to me, watching out for each other. We are getting the job done together. 
No matter the weather we love to do the Every 1 Cafe, don't be afraid of the weather. We are indoors. It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot or wet or windy. At the end we close, we clean and we set up the room for dinner. When will you come and see us?  – TJ
 
 
This week the weather turned from sun shining to gloomy rainy weather and we all had a different topic to work on so we decided to use choose your own blog card for this month, I decided to talk about my roleplay journey online this week.
My roleplays are mostly always on VR or discord depending on the time and availability, I have worn my OC to my first Dinner with friends, let me tell you about my OC Maria the Kitsune.
She is part of a family of 9 sisters, each with their own color of the rainbow, My character has the purple hue in her hair and tails and has the ability to manipulate water and move it to her will she also has a rapier for fast and effective quick attack while slicing her enemies with it.
All of the sisters are kitsunes, a Yo-kai /spirit entity who often pulls pranks in Japanese folklore, each tail represents who’s the oldest and strongest, Maria is in the middle with 6 tails and Mikuru’s is the oldest with 9 white tails, then there is the second oldest named Arashi with 8 grey tails and so forth.
They were born just after the fall of the samurai era in Japan around the 1800s, the role play consists of flintlock firearms and katanas and other weapons used in that era. My character looked after the naval forces for the coast of her island they inhabited and owned.
My friend has been planning and making this roleplay since 2018 and we are almost finished with the main story line. – Holly
 
Hello happy readers! My name is Angelina and today I am going to talk to you about Friends the American TV sitcom because why not!  

Friends is an American television sitcom created by the talented David Crane and wonderful Marta Kauffman in 1994 on the 22nd of September. Friends' sitcom was officially the best series from all over the world after its debut from its first episode.

After 10 seasons they officially ended the series on the 6th of May 2004, saying that Monica and Chandler move to a suburban area in New York. (SPOILER).

There is now an amazing friend's experience dedicated to the show down in Docklands. It's still open up until the 26th of November so get going if you are a HUGE Friends fan!
​ 
You might be wondering what the point of Friends the American sitcom and the point of the show is is because it’s all about friendship and living solo in a world where you need your friends around if your family aren’t there beside you on your journey.  – Angelina

Last week it was “Choose your own adventure” and I chose Harry Potter as my topic. The main character is Harry Potter and he is played by Daniel Radciffe. He started out as a child actor and he's a very good actor. 

Interesting facts about Harry himself, is he was cursed as a child in movies and the books by a very powerful and evil wizard, Lord Voldemort.  He now has a lighting scar on his forehead. Harry’s middle name is James. His parents went to Hogwarts and his mum was a witch, her name is Lily and his dad’s name is James.

Harry is in Gryffindor house, however if I was in Harry Potter I would go into Gryffindor house also because it’s my favourite house. 
​
There are 7 movie series’ and even a musical called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  I’ve seen it and it is very good. I loved it because I love Harry Potter.
Have you seen any of the Harry Potter movies or read any of the books? - Charlotte 
 
Hello Friends, 
Today I’m going to be talking about some other friends; SHARKS!! 

Why you ask? Because it’s a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BLOG! 

So, I have some random facts about sharks just to start us off,  
There are over 500 different species of sharks swimming in the world's oceans, with the biggest living shark being my favourite The Whale Shark (18m - 20m) and the smallest being The Dwarf Lantern Shark (6.3 - 7.9 inches).  

The most common shark species is the Dogfish there's 119 different kinds of dogfish, I won't name them all here. However, in Australia the most common shark is the wobbegong shark. There are 4 different species of wobbegong shark; Ornate Wobbegong, Spotted Wobbegong, Tasseled Wobbegong and the Dwarf Ornate Wobbegong.  

Now to deep dive into whatever I want to say about my shark friends;  
Whale sharks or Rhincodon typus which is their scientific name are my absolute Favourite shark, they are so beautiful, and I love watching them slowly swim in videos taken by experienced divers. They are just the gentle giants of the ocean. They can live to about 150 though very few whale sharks survive to adulthood. They are in fact sharks not whales even though they have whale in their name. Their markings are also like human fingerprints! One of a kind to each individual shark.  

 Sharks like me really enjoy personal space from humans, they just want to live out their days being happy shark friends and living their best shark lives. I think they need a little more respect than what they get from us. We enter their habitat and thrash around swimming, attracting their attention and then get upset when we get attacked. Imagine if I came into your home unannounced, uninvited and started trying to swim in your dining room? I bet you’d be pretty upset too!  
​
Shark attacks are rarer than you might think just as a side note.  
Have a wonderful week everyone! - Shan 

​UF0S’S Aliens
I am a real big believer into UFO’S Aliens it is my most favourite subject in the world, and when I start talking about UFO’s aliens, I don’t stop because I find it so very fascinating.

There have been so many UFO sightings all around the world.

UFO sightings have been seen in America, Australia ,Europe and Asian Countries. They say that in America Alaska is notorious for UFO sightings and unexplained things going on.

My beliefs are pretty out there and these are my believes into UfO Aliens. I really feel that I have had many UFO Alien experiences since I was a little girl and I would like to talk about one of these experiences.

I remember when I was a little girl in my sleep I was hearing a very loud helicopter sounds and I saw all these weird faces looking down on me and this would happen a lot to me has a child.

I was never frightened by it, I just always thought they were my little friends and they continue to visit me through my adult life up until today and when every time I close eyes I can see their faces very clearly.
​
Have you or anyone you know experienced a UFO Alien experience.
I  hope enjoyed reading my 2nd blog - Gipsy
