SLJ - Week 1 Activity 5

 Hi Bloggers,

Sorry for not posting yesterday's SLJ task. (SLJ means Summer Learning Journey) In yesterday's activity I had to make a tree with triangles. Then I had to colour it in and after for the Step It Up task, I have make another one but instead of colour it will be numbered. So by that I mean that the paper will have a tree on it with the geometric leaves but it will not be coloured. It will have numbers and there will be a list of colours and its numbers. If you still don't understand it then you may look at the pictures. I recommend everyone to try this activity. I would say the purpose of this activity is for you to be very concentrated and very steady. I won't make you wait so here is the link to the video showing how to do it. Also here are the pictures:

Now that you have seen it and you understand then you can try it out. Have an awesome day! Keep an eye out for my next post.

SLJ - Week 1 Activity 1

 Hi Bloggers,

Just right now I finished doing the first activity from SLJ. (SLJ is the Summer learning Journey) For this activity I had to watch a video made by the one and only Nanogirl! She is an amazing, talented scientist and she also has a sense of humour. In the video I had to make a hoop, a ring glider and a paper plane. I will add the link to this post if you want to try make them. They are very easy and you have to use a ruler, scissors, pencil and three pieces of paper. The purpose of this was to follow the instructions carefully instead of mucking around. I will show you some pictures of my crafts. 

Here are some pictures:

That's all the pictures. I hope you enjoyed my post. Have fun making some of these. Have an awesome day!

Abstract Art

Hi Bloggers,

While we are in lockdown, I have been making Abstract Art. Abstract Art looks amazing and if you want to make it I will write it in this post. There is only four things you need and they are: Masking tape, pastels or crayon, any size paper and scissors. I will show you some pictures of my art. Then after that there will be the steps.

Here are some pictures:

Here are the steps to make Abstract Art:

1. Get a piece of paper and any size will do.
2. Tape the four corners with masking tape. Cut the tape with the scissors when you need to.
3. Make different shapes using masking tape. 
4. Then with your pastels/crayons you use two different colours to make it look nice. 
5. Once you are done adding the colours you can press hard with a tissue paper to make it smooth and even better.
6. Now carefully take the masking tape off. Now you may display it somewhere you like.

Now I will type in the colours that look good together. There are a lot of amazing colours that go good with each other so I will make a list below.

• Purple and Blue
• Yellow and Red
• Yellow and Pink
• Pink and Blue
• Yellow and Green
• Pink and Orange
• Orange and Blue
• Red and Green
• Orange and Black
• Pink and Green
• Green and Blue
• Pink and Turqouise
• Navy and Teal
• Deep Purple and Blue
• Blue and Grey
• Any colour with white 
• Dark Green and Turqouise
• Grey and Pink

Ok now that is the end of my post. Keep an eye out to more of my blog post. Remember to be safe and kind, do not fight over toilet paper, don't get the Covid-19, Please wash your hands, Wear a mask if you need to, Wear gloves if you need to, please do not get bored at home, do something. 

How to make a catapult!

 HI Bloggers,

Today I learnt how to make a catapult. If you are thinking that I made a big catapult then that's wrong because, I made a small one. I learnt it from Nanogirl. It was easy to get all the things you needed. It wasn't actually hard. Its really easy and I know that anyone can make it if they look at this video. I think my next steps are to make something harder. I'd like to know how people make a big catapult. I might use paper to make a tube type cylinder for it next time. Here is my video: Good luck

If you can't get to the video I will write how you can make it. 

What you'll need:

Cardboard tube, A little bit of blue tack, A wooden spoon with a long end, A string a little longer than to spoon, A scrunched piece of paper and a sharpie to make some drawings on the cardboard tube (Optional). 

First get your cardboard tube and your wooden spoon. Put your wooden spoon on top of the cardboard tube. With the string put at the bottom of the tube and bring up into a knot and do that again by flipping it over and doing two knots. Make sure it kind of looks like a cross. The wooden spoon should be sticking out a lot and the end should only have a little bit sticking out. Get your blue tack and put in on the inside of the tube. You can now make some drawings on it but that's your choice. Load your catapult with the scrunched up paper. Put one hand on the blue tack as hard as you can. With your index finger on your other hand you push down on the end of the spoon. There you have made a catapult. 

I hope you had fun making this. Thanks for looking at my blog. Have a good day!
