The Microwave: Invented By Mistake

Something that we use everyday was actually invented by mistake! Percy Spencer was a scientist in the USA. One day he was working on a machine that used sound. It got so hot where he worked that his chocolate bar melted. He had an idea for a machine that could make food hot faster than other machines. He built the machine in 1945 and it was later called Radarange. It is now called microwave and people use them all over the world. This shows us that mistakes are not always not a bad thing.

Elena’s Holiday in Mexico

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Mexico is amazing. Last week, we went to Cozumel, an island in the Caribbean Sea. The sea was so beautiful, I went snorkeling. I saw lots of turtles. We went to La Malinche to enjoy the mountain view the next day. After that, Mom and I went hiking in the forest. I saw some birds. I took some photos of them. Yesterday, we went to a waterfall. We went swimming. It was great.

See you soon.

Love,

Elena

P.S. I hope you like the photos.
