Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday I woke up at around 9:34 or something. My family joins the online mass that happens every week. The mass goes live at around 10:00. I take a huge amount of time to eat breakfast so I had to eat breakfast after the mass ended. During mass the Priest talked about how Jesus has risen from the dead after his crucifixion and how Easter is a time to commemorate how Jesus died for our sins and to pray for the people who unfortunately have lost or have Covid-19. When the mass ended I ate breakfast. And because of quarantine my family didn't do the Easter egg hunt. I don't really intend to do an Easter egg hunt. After which we asked dad to make us brownies -they were good.

Life in Lock down

_____________________________________________________

Lock down has its ups and downs. I can stay inside and sleep in but the downside of sleeping in and staying inside is that my social skills lower every minute, but sleeping in, there's no downside to that. I can start a new series on Netflix but always run out if things to watch, so that's when I turn to YouTube and start watching bloopers of the series I've been watching on Netflix. I'm going to list things now. The downsides are running out of food, getting bored every time I start a new series, the only people I interact with (other than my family) are other online UNO players, face the fact that my bike is gathering up dust in the garage, constantly having to charge things and always way to lazy to do anything. The upside is that I stay inside, I can get onto higher levels on TotM, sleeping in (again!), bonding more with my family, being able to chill out in front of the fireplace at times. 

board or bored games

I have decent board games in my closet, Mousetrap, Jenga, Snakes & Ladders - that's all I can remember (I don't play board games very often). But if I were to say which one were my favorite it would be Mousetrap. I would also recommend to play Mousetrap, though it's been 4 or 5 years since I have played that game and lost some of the game pieces, but it's still really fun! And why would I recommend this game to you? Well, it made some pretty beautiful memories of me and my parents, and it would be a decent bonding moment with them! THE END

would you rather

WOULD YOU RATHER BE A ZOO KEEPER OR A SPY

I would rather be a zoo keeper because I could interact with animals other than online UNO players. Animals are a bit ambiguous, so it would be cool if I were to befriend an animal. And I know that could just buy a dog, cat or bird but I don't really want to be friends with an animal that can just walk in on me while I'm on the toilet. But on the other hand taking care of lions and tigers would be really cool! Zoo keeping is a really unique job - taking care of just mentioned animals and other would awesome! Nevertheless whatever reason it was to be a zoo keeper; to create more relationships with animals, to take care of them, I would still be a zoo keeper!

to make a jolly jar you have to go really far!

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.  

Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be specific, the instructions have to be in order and really bossy. 

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jar my group made origami for the school fair.  

I contributed to my group by helping to make a logo and helping debate which product to do.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because though a decent amount of people did origami our group did a unique piece. It was creative because my group made paper whales, rabbits, dogs -- etc.

What I learned about working with others was that not everyone has the same opinion. And that it helps you to connect with people you don’t usually interact with.

How did we build community through our actions? 

By making jolly jars for the school fair. The school used the jolly jars I made to sell at the fair to raise money for the bike track that’s being built.

PBL float your boat

Making a boat out of only: Tape, 4 plastic cups, 4 paper and a strip of tin foil is really hard.

My group stuck two cups together and two straws at the bottom with some tin foil in the middle. We cut up straws and made a border on the top of it. It was coming together really well! Then Jasmine made a nest which the marbles were going to go into. For ours we used all the material we had to make it. It was hard because we had to share the tape. 

Question: 

Do you ever do anything like this at your school, or even at home?

THE END.
