My special crafts

 

This is speical to me because this was my best wire craft I made. I love arts and craft but always my hands start to get red. I made two wire trees and one cup cake holder.  

This is also special to me because I made a Peacock Feather by wire, this is my idea!!  I used red wire and I used nippers to cut it.

I made a cage and birds. Birds were made by acorn and some coloful feathers.
The cage was made by wire.

This is speical to me because I used card bourd and I got burnt by a glue gun! My mum made a bird and I made a house for them.








Today I made a flax fish that were made by a strong flax.
The flax was from my garden.

 

Youth town

 Last week on Wednesday we did Youth town for E.O.T.C. Firstly our teacher did the roll. Then we got in to groups and lined up.

 Archery

For E.O.T.C firstly we did archery. The man who is so good at archery told us instructions. I thought it was easy but it felt so hard. The arrow was very big and it was about my size. The man said the arrow has a pretty sharp sting at the top and it also can be dangerous. Firstly we did a practise and it was my turn. I was so embarrassed I shot into the bullseye. We had a competition and I only missed one arrow.

Flintstone cart building

Next we did Flintstone cart building. Firstly we listened to the instructions,then we started. We had to know how to tie the rope on to the bamboo and make it strong for the body part of the cart, otherwise it would be dangerous.  This cart can be ridden by three kids. We all had an idea so we started making it. We used two blue tyres. We put a bamboo in a middle of the hole of the tyres which makes it more strong and tight. The body of the cart was made of bamboo. It was so cool.  We finished making the cart and it was very strong and faster. When I rode on the cart it was so cool with the wind. I enjoyed in riding the cart.   It was very fast and very fun.

 Problem solving

We went to do some problem solving. Firstly we had to line up and play mine field. We had to jump on a rubber mat that was a circle shape. When you got it wrong they say "boom!" because the mine will explode. After that we played pegs. We had to clip the pegs on our shirt and take somebody's pegs of their shirt. If you have the most pegs you are the winner. Next we played the puzzle game. We had to be in two even groups. There were two packs of coloured puzzles. It was yellow and blue. Firstly we had to hide all the puzzle pieces and find them fast as you can. Then you had to make a square with the puzzle.

 Tipi building

For the tipi building we used tarp, bamboo and rope. We had to go in to three groups and we started making it. We used a rope for tying and tarp to cover it. I thought if we put the bamboos a little wider and tie in some extra rope, it would be better.

 Walkie talkies
At last we did walkie talkies. We used walkie talkies to talk. Firstly we listened to the instruction and we started talking.
After that we played a game by talking on the walkie talkies. We used paper and pen to write. The walkie talkies are fun but it was hard to use.

I feel so grateful because I loved the archery and I also liked Flintst
