Tent making

The hardest part for me was reading the instructions because the writing was so little it was hard to find the writing.
In the making, the teamwork worked really well with all of our knowledge into one.
I learned how to build a tent because I have never made one before.

 

Blog Bonus Scene

This week it was Calf Club for the people that did not do calf club we made mini-scenes.
What I did to prep my scene: to prep my scene I needed to get all the supplies etc blue & clear pebbles, cocktail umbrellas, large popsicle sticks, little rocks/stones and some fake moss., My original design was to make a beach scene with footprints of my family including: mum, dad, me, Sol, Bear, my chickens, my about to get dog and my cats all together, but I changed that because it was a lot for a little space.

What I found challenging: The thing that I found challenging was to not make my scene too crowded with stuff so I had lots of leftovers. also it was really hard to find the right materials but I ended up finding then anyway.

   

CC W3 T4 Creation Station

This week for Chapter chat I did Creation Station, drawing Coach Brody. I find it hard to draw people so this was a big challenge for me to draw but I think I did all right. In the book, it did not say if he had any facial hairs so I didn't do any just in case. It was fun but hard to make him. I rate it a 7.5/10 because I think I could have done better.

Shelter that we are aiming to make.

 

The shelters that we are going to make will be the Tarp shelter, an easy to make but still
very suitable to
sleep in. We reckon that it could have a few people to sleep in. And also the teepee
because it is easy
and suitable to build and sleep in.  

We all agreed on these two huts to build ( A TARP & TARP TEEPEE ). We chose to build the TARP because it looks like it has a lot of space and looks easy and quick to make. We chose to build the TARP (Teepep) Because we think that more than two people will be able to fit in it, although it might be a bit challenging to make. 

Shelter Building

Info about building a shelter

Where is the best place to make a Shelter: The best place is on high grounds and close to water supply like a river but far enough so you don't attract bugs.

What does the shelter need to protect you from: your shelter needs to protect you from animals like snakes and also floods so it is best to build on high grounds. You also need to watch out for bugs and the bad weather so you need warmth from your shelter and bring some bug spray.

What materials do you need to build a shelter: You will need rope, tarp, ferns, sticks, trees to hold up your shelter and you could use large leaves.    

Pros and cons of sleeping in a shelter: cons are including bugs, weather and temperature, the pros are spending time with nature and sleeping outside because it would be fun to spend time with family. 

CC W2 T1 Away with Words

This week I did Away with Words, a letter to parents or grandparents to try and persuade them to "Buy you some new shoes" even though I don't need any shoes. I wrote my letter to mum and dad then got the teacher to print it out, there was still some room at the bottom of the page so I decided to draw some FAKE old shoes and then a pair of shoes that I really like. But still, after that there was a blank space on the page so I did some Mandalas a sort of flower doodle. I rate my work a 9/10.

  

New calendar art

Every year we make a new piece of calendar art, this year I did zentangling. the hardest part was finding the right colours to go on my hair that would not be the same colour as another it of my hair, the most fun part was drawing on the zentangle into my hair and the easiest part was painting the background a nice shade of yellow. I rate my art a 9/10 which I think is pretty good.

 

T4 W1 CC Research

This week we started to read a new book called Ghost about a kid named Castle who is really fast then joins a running club but on 1 condition that he will not muck up at school so far I am enjoying it so far and I think that it will be getting better by the weeks that we read.

The reason that I did weird world records is that in the first chapter in Ghost, Ghost was talking about funky records. So that's why I think we did this task. I made it SUPER colourful because I really like adding rainbow colours into my work. Overall I rate my work an 8.5/10 because my work does not feel like a 9 or a 10 but an 8.5.

One day activity

Just recently it was the school holidays and I have done lots and lots of activities but today I am going to write about 1 day especially.

My family and I have been wanting a puppy for a long time now, so on Sunday
or Saturday my mum, my brother and I went to Taupo for the day to see a puppy that we have been looking at for a while on Trade Me.

It is an English Springer Spaniel a great duck hunting dog while still being super cute. When we came to the man's house (who owns the puppies) to see our puppy, its parents and its siblings. They are SOOOOO cute. We are not allowed to take it away from its mum and dad until its 8 weeks old, now it is 4 weeks old. The puppy is a boy and we are thinking of naming it Caloss.

Taupo is the little highlighted part of the North Island.
