SLJ Poetry Slam Toru Summer Haiku Poem

 A Haiku is a poem with three lines, the first line has five syllables, the second has seven syllables and the third has five syllables. Syllables are a bit complicated but the part you need to know for haiku's is that they are different parts of a word and you can count them by: putting your hand under your chin and counting how many times jaw/mouth/tongue move, counting the syllables on your fingers, or clapping your hands for each syllable. Haiku's do not need to rhyme but mine does a little bit. Here is my Haiku about Summer.

SLJ- Bridge Build

 I have made a bridge,I think it is quite strong and Watch this video to see my bridge in action. I used modeling clay and bamboo skewers to create my bridge, my bridge is strange looking arch bridge but it still holds quite a lot of weight for its size. I hope you like my bridge!

SLJ Make Something That Floats Attempt 2

 My last boat didnt work so well so here is my second attempt. To make my boat I used: a plastic bag, skewers cut in half, a cupcake baking cup and some tape. First I blew air into the zip lock bag and quickly closed it again. then I made a sail using the skewers as the structure and a muffin baking cup for the sail ( this is extra good because it is wax paper meaning it wont go soggy, and also it is very light.) Bellow is some photos and a video of my boat in action. p.s please let me know if the video doesn't work.

SLJ Nano Girl: Make Something That Floats

 Our challenge for today was to make something that floats. My boat floats but after  a while it starts sinking, to make my boat I used: six skewers, clingfilm, and tape. First I taped together the skewers to make a square ( I did this my making a criss-cross at each end) then taped a layer of cling film over the top. Then I added a sail by making a A frame over my boat with skewers and then covering it with cling film. Tips: If you make your boat this way it would probably work better if you make the sail frame at the same time as the boat frame. What would I do differently: I would do what I just said and I would put plastic straws over the skewers for extra flotation because my boat sinks after a while. Here are some photos of my boat:

SLJ 2021-22 Nano Girl - Build Something That Flies

 Our science challenge today was to build something that flies. I have built a aircraft that flies ( sort of ) and it is a bit of a loopdy loop plane. The things I used to make it are: a old plastic box that used to be a Christmas light box, a wooden skewer, some pretty paper that used to be a party bag, and some tape and glue to hold it together. First I cut up the plastic into a shape similar to a triangle, this didn't fly at all and to add some weight ( and to make it look cool) I put the pretty paper on-top. Then I punctured a hole on both ends of my plane and put a skewer through the middle. My plane still didn't fly very well so I cut the pretty paper into a tail shape, stuck it to the skewer and then trimmed up the front part of the plane. Now my plane flies alright and I think that it is pretty good. Here are some photo's of my plane.

DOGS Information Report

For writing this week we are focusing on information reports one of our writing bingo tasks was to write a information report on our favourite animal here is my information report on Chocolate Lab Spaniel Crosses.

Chocolate Lab Spaniel Cross. 

What do you picture in your head when you hear Chocolate Lab Spaniel Cross? Is it a small spotty dog or a big fully brown dog? This information report is going to give you a new understanding on their appearance, why people keep them as pets and why I love my dogs Meg and Muddle. 

Chocolate lab spaniel crosses really do look like a merge between a spaniel and a lab. With a Spaniels cute fluffy long ears and slightly shorter legs  and a lab's bigger body  and  easy going nature. Some Chocolate Lab Spaniel Crosses have more spaniel in them like our dog Muddle. With a spaniel curly long ears and spotty colouring, or some more like Meg with  fully brown coloring and a bit bigger with lots of love for food. But of course every dog is different!

Now you might be wondering what's so special about this breed and why do lots of people have them as pets? Well one of the reasons this special breed are such great pets is because of their amazing nature. Chocolate Lab Spaniel Crosses are super loving and love snuggles, they really like a belly scratch and they are always there to make you feel better. They also are happy to go on a nice long walk or play with you and they love to go on adventures. They love to snuggle up on the couch with you, or go on long adventures with you. With this breed there is something for everyone.

I love my dogs Meg and Muddle because Meg is super cuddly. She is always by your side ready for a hug and she never growls at you if you hug her too tight or accidentally pull her tail. Muddle is really energetic because she’s a puppy and she loves to play fight with you, she loves to run along next to you when you go anywhere and when it's time for a rest she will happily give you cuddles, Meg and Muddle have really soft fur especially on their ears, they really are the best dogs in the world.

I hope you have a new understanding of Chocolate Lab Spaniel Crosses, their appearance, why they are such great pets and why I love my dogs. Maybe you might consider getting a Chocolate Lab Spaniel Cross!
