On the weekend, I made a paper boat after watching a video of how to make one. I decided to decorate it. I drew patterns on it and it looked good! Then I watched a clip of how to draw a butterfly and drew one. Then my mum coloured it in for me and helped me put glitter on it. I also made a rocket out of paper rolls. Then I made two puppets out of old, little socks. I also watched a video for that. Meanwhile, my sister was making a pencil holder out of paper rolls with my dad for help with the printing and the hot glue gun. Then my dad helped me by sticking the eyes, hair and a bow on my puppet. I also made a building out of toothpicks. My whole family helped, so we also spent family time while doing art. Here are some photos.
I am a student at New Windsor School. This is where I share my learning around Learn, Create, Share and the New Windsor Way.

Backyard Biodiversity
Worms, Baby Snails
Yesterday, I was in the garden doing some science. I was finding insects. I found heaps of worms, baby slugs, ladybugs, centipedes, and more. We looked in the ground but since it was dry we only found centipedes instead of worms. Then me, my sister, and my mum, looked under pots we had grew plants in. And we found heaps of worms and baby slugs! We went looking for ladybugs in our mandarin tree since it was where all the ladybugs came. First I found some ladybugs but we couldn't snap photos of them but then I found one on a nearby leave and then I took photos. Today I also drew a picture of a praying mantis and made a word art about insects. Here are some photos.

A Perfect Day for a Sunday
Yesterday, on Sunday my family had to celebrate a cultural festival called Rakshabandhan. We made necklaces out of flowers that me and my sister picked from our garden, and then put them on the statues of our God in our house. We did a red dot on the statue's forehead which is called a "chandlo". Usually you do that on your brother, but since I didn't have a brother, we did on the statues of my God. On Rakshabandhan we tie a special bracelet decorated with some patterns and decorations on our brother's wrist to ask for protection by the brother and in return, the brother has to give a gift back to the sister.We celebrated it all together and it was fun because having family time isn't usual for us.
I like lockdown because I love Zoom Meetings and Google Meets, we can still chat with friends, more family time, and I love doing my schoolwork at home! But at the same time, I kind of miss playing games with my friends and our teachers, and our swimming! We had lockdown in the middle of our swimming lessons!
After that, me and my sister, helped our parents do some work in the garden. Altogether, we mowed the lawn, cut down trees and picked flowers, helped to carry big and heavy branches from the cut down trees, and at last after I was tired, I played a bit with my sister. Then after, me and my sister talked to our dad's cousin sister because she called my dad. Some time later, we had a delicious lunch and I made necklaces and decorations out of beads and my sister helped me. Then I did some crochet. I had a fun doing all those things. Then came the best part of the day, I got my hair cut! me and my sister got our hair cut by our dad since it is lockdown and we can't go out. Everyone thought I looked different. But I don't think so!
