Kite Day

Last Friday was kite day, where you make a kite and try to fly it. Lexie and I partnered up and made a kite together. In our kite, we had bamboo in a cross shape and wrapped it in black silage wrap. We added two holes and some string. We went outside to try to fly it and we had no luck. We went back inside and took the silage wrap off and noticed our bamboo had snapped. I had a backup plan so we tried that, but Lexie wanted to fix our old one so she did that while I made my new one. My backup plan was to get a piece of bamboo and tape a plastic bag on also attach string and a tail. Lexie managed to fix our kite by taping the bamboo back together and wrapping it in silage wrap again. I managed to have a little try to fly my kite, but it wouldn't fly. After all, it wasn't really windy at all sadly. It was time to fly our kites and because it was not windy we got each class to just run across the field and try to make them fly. Not many people's kites did fly, but two or three did. Mine went probably a meter high and I am happy with that. Lexie's kite did around the same as mine and we had a great day. On Monday we tried to fly them again and my kite got tangled up. We fixed it up though. Yay!

    Nice Job Immy!
    I like how you used different unique ideas and some work and some didn't.

Play, Make, Create.

  For this week's Play, Make, Create I worked by myself, but alongside Stella and Sophie. We read the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. One of the options was to create a new problem and solve it. Mrs Heaven said she had a problem that her fence had fallen over in the wind and cows were coming into her backyard so Stella, Sophie and I decided we could have a scarecrow that held pots and pans in its hands so when the wind blew they would bang together and scare the cows away. We made a miniature version of each of our scarecrows, we used fabric for the clothes and cardboard for the body. We then used sequins for the eyes and a bead for the nose and wool for the hair and mouth. If I could change anything it would be a bit bigger, but that is all I would change. I am very proud of my scarecrow and I hope Mrs Heaven tries our idea.

  For this week's Play, Make, Create we read the book Theadore the Unsure by Pip Smith. I chose to do the make task. I partnered up with Lexie and we made a jewelry Box to help him handle his humongous mane. We made some hairclips that actually stay in your hair! We made two combs, four hair ties that you can tie your hair up with, four headbands, scissors, a razor, and a spray bottle. Something that worked well was the hairclips because they can actually stay in your hair. If I could change anything it would be to make them more colorful instead of just plain cardboard.

  For this week's Chapter Chat, I worked with Stella, and designed a poisonous lipstick that has Inland Taipan Snake venom in it. Inland Taipan Snakes are the most venomous animals in the world. We named it The Death Kiss. There are 10 different beautiful colours and you are sure to make some people jealous with your gorgeous lips. It does not poison your lips only your skin.
