Bears

Bears
Lots of people have been putting bears up in their windows during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Since we don't have windows by the fence of the house, our family decided to make some bears out of wood!

This was a picture of our first bear (before it was painted). We made another bear which was smaller for me, and then we decided to cover our fence with bears! After two grizzly bears, we decided to make a where's Wally bear and the three bears.

Next, we thought about what other bears we could do, so we wanted to do Paddington.

We drew out Paddington, cut the wood, painted him and put him on the fence.

It was getting close to Easter so we wanted to make an Easter Bunny!

 

After the Easter Bunny, Dad wanted a Yogi bear and we all wanted Winnie the Pooh.

and that is what our fence now looks like!

Giant Ice block!

Today I made a giant ice cube the size of my face!

I started yesterday by layering water into a container and then today I put two more layers of water into the container and after about an hour it looked ready (it wasn't)I slid the ice out of the container and it was a cube and freezing it was like I had frostbite! I made a hole in it ant a little pool of water came out and got me wet, I started trying to gnaw on the ice but it was solid.after a few minutes in the sun it warmed up and I could rip chunks of ice off it. and I cut it in bits and gave Jessie a quarter. after a small amount of time, I had eaten it!

Tantalizing Transformations

This week we have been doing transformations and symmetry. My favorite part was the song.
The hardest part for me was the enlargement of shapes, I found it hard because of the sale factor of 1/2confused me a bit.

Word of the week 4

This is my word of the week for week four. I found getting the right picture hard since there weren't many pictures. We did this for literacy medals. Next time I think I could get more synonyms. the easiest part was the antonyms because I couldn't find any.
