Mammoth Writing

 We had a picture that we had to write a story about, it had to have good puncuation and at least one exclamation mark and one question mark. Here is my work.

 The Story Of Wally Neverbird And The Iced Mammoth

“I am going on a hunt for the mammoth!” “I can feel it in my bones, they are alive!!” “What will you take with you!” “Everything I need, even a hair dryer.” “A hair dryer!” “Yes a hair dryer, you need to look stylish dont you know. We don't want the mammoths running away in fright of bad hair do we now?” “Are you stupid!” “No I am not” “A hair dryer will come in handy I just know it!!” Allright, fine! Take your stupid hair dryer.” “Good,  I plan to leave first thing tomorrow morning.” “Tomorrow!” “Yes, I know it's short notice but the Antarctic train comes once a year, and there is no way I can miss it.” “Ok, Ok, take a hair dryer, leave tomorrow, go on a crazy quest to find a wooly mammoth alive, you are a nutter Wally Neverbird.”

After that crazy conversation Mr Neverbird  boarded the train to the Antarctic. Once there he hiked for many days over treacherous terrain, but never did he abandon the hair dryer. Turns out it was a good thing he didn’t, because this happened. Wally had just finished stumbling through a cave entrance, he looked up. “Holy cow, bulls teeth and a box full of peanuts!!!!!” He cried, for there in front of him was a Wooly Mammoth! Covered in a thick layer of ice! So much ice in fact, it was more so a  gigantic block of ice, that just happened to have a massive mammoth in the middle of it!!! To add to his shock it was moving! Only just, though, because as you would expect it's rather hard to move when in the middle of an ancient iceberg. So no, I don't mean the whole mammoth, I mean its eyes were moving! Bewildered and surprised, Wally sat down. It was then he remembered that he had his pack on. He took it off and rifled through the contents: A torch, sleeping bag, lollies, chocolate, some bread, spare batteries, and a battery powered hair dryer. Laying all these out he looked at each one in turn. After a failed attempt to make an ice sandwich, he ate the lollies and chocolate. He continued to look at the rest of the items, “My battery powered hair dryer!!” “Oh how could I miss it, I really am in need of a good hairstyle.” So Wally Neverbird started to style his hair. He felt something wet and cold dripping on him. At first he thought it was the mammoth peeing on him. “Eww dont do that mammoth you'll wreck my hair style!!” Then he realized that A: if a mammoth was to pee it would be warm. B the wet was cold. C if a mammoth was to pee it would be a stream not a drip. D The mammoth couldn't pee on him because there was a thick layer of ice between them.( Even a particularly warm pee couldn't make it through all that ice.) Wally looked up. He slapped himself. It was his hair dryer melting the ice!  He turned it off. “Bingo!!!” He exclaimed, he could use the hair dryer to melt the ice and free the mammoth. And thus he would be famous and never have bad hair again!

SLJ Summer Text Graphic

 Today one of our tasks was to make a text graphic, I used a photo from around our house instead of a photo of google. Here is my work.

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.
