June 1611

Explorer Gazette

 

Henry Hudson was a experienced sailor. England hired him to find the Northwest Passage.  In 1610 h e found and sailed along the 450 mile long Hudson Strait.  While he was on his search the bay he was in froze over.  He and his crew had to stay in a log cabin all winter.  After the bay thawed out they continued exploring.  His angry crew threw him and 8 other loyal crew members into a small boat without ores.  They have never been heard from since.  I think that he and his crew died of starvation and de-hydration in the boat.Because they had no ores it would take to long to paddle ashore.

 

 

Should Every Kid Get a Trophy

I think every kid should get a trophy.Trophies motivate kid to work harder.If you get a trophy it makes you feel good about yourself.I even think kids who don’t even try should get a trophy.If they get a trophy their parents will be proud.If their parents are proud maybe they will work harder.If you work harder then you will get better.
