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!

SLJ - Day 6 Activity 2

 Hey Bloggers,

Today I made a Xylophone but I made this one differently. You will see soon how I made it. It was easy because I just put different amounts of water into four mugs and then hit mugs with a pencil. There was nothing hard in this one. Totally easy and I know you can do it. My next steps are to make a paper one. I'd like to know how people make them and how it makes the sound. I might make a hundred of paper xylophones. Don't worry about what you need because I will say those things in the video. Here is my video of me making my xylophone: 

Thanks for looking at my blog. Have a good day and a great 2021.

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!

SLJ - Day 5 Activity 2

 HI Bloggers,

For today's task you have to make our own Haiku poem. A Haiku poem is a poem and the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the last line has 5. The easy part was to know what your Haiku poem would be about. The tricky part was making it but I eventually got it. It was hard when you come up with one and then when you count the syllables, it has more than what you needed. (HAHA)

Here is my Haiku poem:

I hope you liked it. For my 'Step it up' task I made a slide full of some Haiku Poems. I made a bit more than how much I was meant to. This was tricky because I couldn't find the picture for my poems. It was easy to make them because I just had to think about the descriptions. Here are my slides:

Here is a video of me saying the poems:

Thanks for looking at my blog. Have a good day!
