This week is Diwali and many Indians will celebrate the victory of good over evil. On Diwali, they light up diyas and make rangoli patterns to welcome the goodes of wealth, MahaLaksmi. They also make mouth watering sweets, which I am sure you will love. Here are some sweets and other foods our family made.
Yesterday I made a Tivaevae art. A Tivaevae is what Cook Island people weave. Here is my art that I made using paper. I used blue and white paper. Here is the link to a video I used. Hope you like it and try to make one too.
Today I made a Pasafika Pattern and I drew it on a piece of paper. Here is a photo.👇 The top pattern, represents the shark's teeth which is an important symbol for Pacafic people. The second row represents the waves of the Pacafic Ocean. The third line represents the weaving that they do. The fourth design is and M shape, with a line going down the middle.
Yesterday, my dad made a cake. Well, it wasn't really a cake because he made two! They looked really delicious. I get hungry just by looking at them. 😋😋😋😋 I didn't taste the cakes because the were meant for today.
Today I made a song in Song Maker that sounds like the traditional instrument of China, The Guzheng. Here is my creation below. I hope you will like it and please give me feedback in the comments. We also listened to someone playing a Guzheng. Here is the link to the video of the Guzheng.
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!
