Going To The Park!

Yesterday me, my dad, my sister, my granddad and my uncle went to Terry Street Park. I brought a ball to play soccer. We all stood 2 meters apart from each other and kicked the ball around. Me and my dad swapped being goal keeper every 30 minutes. After a few good shots everyone got tired so the adults sat down and talked while me and my sister played on the fitness equipment. There were some bike pedals, some pull up sort of things and a few running things too. But then it started to rain a little bit so we went home.

Tardigrade

In the lockdown I have been learning about tardigrades so in this blog post will teach you about them.        

Tardigrades are 8 legged micro-animals and they are just viewable to the naked eye.

• Tardigrades can survive up to 30 years without food or water!
• Tardigrades can survive in minus 273 degrees!
• Tardigrades can survive a nuclear explosion!
• Tardigrades can survive in up to 150 degrees!
• Tardigrades can survive radiation!
• Tardigrades are 0.5 mm.

I hope you have learnt a lot about tardigrades.

My Picture Prompt Story

Yesterday for one of my tasks I had to write a story about a picture. We had to write at least a whole page. Mine was 376 words long which I think is pretty good.

Here is my story:

In a damp wet cave there lay a damp wet boat, yet outside the cave it was sunny. The warm wind coming from the west brushed past my face. As the fish started to bite on my hooks I saw a speck in the distance. Wait, a speck in the distance? A boat? How the heck did it get in the Bermuda triangle without being swallowed or shipwrecked? I was amazed. You’re probably wondering why I has out there. Well I live on the west coast of Bermuda and me and my parents love to eat fish. Every morning I get up and go to my favourite spot and start fishing. How did I get here? I have no idea! One day me and my parents were playing at the beach and we were sucked in by a strong current. Somehow we ended up in Bermuda. Anyway I had never seen a boat other than ours on the water Tug...Tug… I had a fish on the line. I reeled it in….a kingfish! That was a real treat as it is our favourite fish to eat. As the boat got closer I could identify that it was a pale green and that it was about 15 meters high. I could also identify an old man in a purple t-shirt sitting in the cabin. It was 10 o’clock now so I decided to head back and tell my parents about this mysterious boat. “What?!” my parents said as they saw the boat. "This is an outrage" said my dad. We all went in our boat to meet them. As we were almost there I noticed a flag raised with a skull and crossbones. “Pirates!” I screamed. We started rowing in the opposite direction but they were gaining on us fast. When we reached the shore we started the pirate siren to warn our island. Everyone gathered on the shore with our cannons and 5 cannon balls. They started to fire on us. We fired back but they all missed! I hadn’t fired my cannon ball yet but it was our last one. I aimed… I fired… A direct hit!  The pirate ship started sinking and all of Bermuda was cheering. I couldn’t believe what I had done.

My Public Service Announcement!

Today for one of my tasks I had to make a P.S.A. I chose Covid-19 as my topic because everyone is talking about it. I thought it was going to be really hard but it was actually kind of easy. Here is the link for my P.S.A! (Click present in the top right corner to make it bigger).

The Line Of Symmetry

Yesterday for one of my tasks I had to make a tivaevae (a cook island pattern). In this blog I will tell you how to make one!

1. Get two different coloured A4 sized paper. Cut them in to sqaures. If you don't know how watch this video.
2. Fold one of your squares into a rectangle and then fold it again to make a small square.
3. Cut a pattern in your square by cutting small bits off the unfolded side.
4. Open your little sqaure and stick it on your other square to make a beautiful pattern then see how symmetrical they look.

Here is mine!

My Picnic With My Grandparents!

On Saturday me, my mum, my dad and my sister went for a picnic with my grandparents. We met at Monte Cecilia Park. Before we got there we stopped at a cafe called Kreme to get our lunch to take to the park. Once we arrived we saw my grandparents sitting on a bench relaxing. We found a sunny spot to put down our picnic rug. When we finished eating we went for a walk around the loop they have there. On the loop we found some big trees with roots big enough to climb on. My sister also found a rock that someone had painted a poppy on with the word 'least we forget'.

My Music

For one of my Chinese language tasks I had to make a song on sound maker. It had to sound something like this. The instrument is called a guzheng (gu-zheng) and the song is called Spring River Flower Moon Night. Mine doesn't exactly sound how it should but I tried my best. Please DO NOT edit anything on my song. 

Here is my song!
