This weekend it was my Poppa's birthday. they went to napier for the weekend to go shopping and have a cool time there. While they were gone I had the responsibility to feed and make sure the pets were okay the pets were a cat (Her name was missy), And a dog (his name is dug/duggy boy). We made my poppa a present it was a chocolate bar type thing, it was really cool. While they were away they got me jae and willow some stuff willow got a new jersey and cool lip balm, jae got a t-shirt and a pranks and jokes kit, I got hair ties and some jodhpurs for horse riding. we had a yum dinner then we had a gluten free carrot cake from a cake shop in napier.
This is not the one we made for him I just found it on google.
This week I went to makey makey and we first tried to make a lightbulb light up but then we decided to make a piano out of random objects but first we made it out of playdough then we found these cotton balls and connected those to the alligator clips and then we tapped it and then it made a piano sound then we started to find things like pasta, spaghetti, ping pong balls, circuit ball and humans... YES humans, we found that if someone is holding earth and someone is hooked up to the alligator clip if you are holding the earth you can touch the one holding earth, you can tap the nose of the person clipped to the alligator clip and they will make a piano noise. It was awesome.
This week for LearningThroughPlay Me, Esther and Alice went to junky monkey, at junky monkey what your supposed to do is deconstruct and then reconstruct the thing you deconstructed and make it in to a new thing. We had to make stuff out of stuff that had been broken all ready. We ended up doing it with Indie and we had no idea what we were gonna make we kept thinking up ideas to build but then we all had the idea we should build a water park\playground and that's what we ended doing.
We gathered stuff we thought we would need and started destructing first we made this spinny thingy, we made it of a funny green fidget spinner type thing then we found a metal thing you would put bolts and nuts on. There were lots of bolts and nuts on the already so we put some under the fidget spinner type thing and then put two on and didn't tighten them as much. Then we made a trampoline, we put a hair tie over a part of a elsa barbie dolls dress and made it like a trampoline. then we made a pool out of: a hole in the table, silicone cupcake liner, and a small round container and then we put water in the cupcake liner and made a pool.
Indie made some monkey bars then we found peter rabbit holding out a hoop then we found and added that to the park thing we made and then I made a finish sort of sign thing that was made out of a baby toy, pipe cleaner, and a sharpie. We added more than in the video but the video still has the better version than the new parts we added and also the finish sort of sign thing isn't in the video too. If you didn't watch the video yet i think you should.
Me and my friend Esther are trying out for the Marakai. The Marakai is like a cooking competition that we do in at this school. Marakai is a Maori word it means garden food. What we do is you would do a doc of what you are gonna do and how you are gonna make it. me and esther worked together to get our slide done.
Me and Esther want to make baked donuts and pasta salad. You have the option to make a main a sweet or a drink. Me and Esther decided that we wanted to make a main and a sweet the donut are the sweet and the main is the pasta salad. We liked the idea of the Marakai because we get to choose what we make and how we make it.
At your school you might do a cooking competition what do you call it at your school tell me in the comments. At my school we have to include 5 homegrown or schoolgrown things Me and Esther have five things in our pasta salad we have oranges, apples, coriander, lettice, parsley you are probably like what oranges and apple in salad but actually it is pretty good. I hope we get selected for the Marakai, (that would be pretty cool aye).
