Things to do when you’re bored...

Hi guys this is some stuff you can do in the holidays if you are boared.

Main Star Create a Gift

I made a lantern out of an old sprite can.  Firstly I filled the cans up with water then put them in the freezer.  Secondly I took them out of the freezer and put marks where I would cut them.  Then I cut them with my sharp knife.  Then I went inside and filled the bath sink up with hot water to melt the ice.  Once this was done I pushed down on the can to make it look like a lantern effect.  Then I put wire through the can tab to make it hang.  Then I put candles in each one.  Then I lit them.

A Passion Project is something that you don't know lots about.  

I am doing it on the solar system.  

I have learnt that the edge of the Solar System is 1000 times further away from the sun than what Pluto is.  

I'm going to present this on a google site.

Main Star Favorite Christmas Food

My favourite Christmas meal is trifle

I made it like this.

Fill kettle and boil it.

Get bowl and break sponge into the bowl.

Open, drain and pour fruit over sponge.

Now make jelly and pour over sponge.

Once jelly has set pour custard and decorate with cream and fresh fruit.

Last week I learnt how to create a bush shelter at Kaharangi Lodge for cubs. To make the shelter we used flax, ferns, trees that had been blown down by the wind, pungas and fern fronds to keep the rain out.

Here is a photo of us making the bush shelter.  I am wearing the ridgeline pants and jersery with the corona hat.

Last week class we watched 5 minute animation "Dream Giver" then we created a describe bubble on it. This included doing, number, size, colour, positon, shape and texture. We do a describe bubble so we can write a narrative about the topic. I worked well with Alex Double on this project and we completed almost all of the task.

Main Star Community clean up

On Thursday at Cubs I helped cleaning up the bike trail from the Scouts Hall to Top 10 Holiday park and then we went back on the beach.  We filled 2 black rubbish bags with rubbish.

Random Tuesday Descriptive Writing

The bath is all mucky and dirty on the out side of thr bath the tap is all rusty but thr inside is all clean so some one can have a bath there is wooden stables that have a slight curve so the bath is not touching the ground. The cabnet is tall with loads of lanterns in it so you can see in the night there is house lights hanging froom the top of the roof so the place look nice. There is plane grey bricks so it  is not soft so the bath and the cabnet can't sink. The green leafs are good because it is secret and the rain can't get in if it is wet.
