 When we started the rotations we were introduced to the garden of the temple. We learnt that when you stand on the grass, the grass will  push you up, like when you get stepped on you will get back up, like you would use resilient. We moved to the next rotation, it was origami  we were told that lotus flowers grow on dirty water. We made lotus flower out of paper.( I am planning to give to mom).(DO NOT TELL MOM). 

Next we went to the a type of statue called the Buddhist, we had to knee down and had to bathe the Buddha. We bathed the right arm and said"say good words" then we bathed the left arm and said"do good deeds" and then bathed the back of the Buddha and said"think good thoughts". then we moved into the room with a video, then we turned into movie stars and then turned in to bee's and bird.

We could see the water flowing fast and the plants that had been flattened. I thought that the houses was flooded because the rain was so hard that the water was up to the houses.

i think I could described the cover more and the blurb.
