The Story of the Sparkler Stick and How it Helped to Give Birth to a Baby Plant (includes a character called Bird Legz) and a video.

On Saturday, when I saw the sparkler sticks that we had used on Diwali, they were lying on the ground. So I thought I could make something out of them. So I got some water and scraped of all the black stuff left with a leaf that smelt nice. I was only using gardening materials for this so I used a leaf. Then I washed the sparkler stick several times. Then I bent the metal stick and made it into a upside down U shape. Then I curved the ends a bit. But then everything didn't turn out that good. So the next day I had an idea. I got a plastic plant pot. I called my sister to help and I knew it would turn out good this time because "Team work does your Dream work".Then she found a stick that looked like a dead bird's leg so we decided to name it Bird Legz. Then I found a shovel and started digging somewhere in the garden. I got as much as soil I could get from there and gave it to my sister so she could put it in the plastic plant pot. Then she put water in the soil and squashed it in using Bird Legz's foot. That kept going till I thought that was enough soil. Then we saw some worms in there which was good. Then I plucked some twigs of a flower plant I had, and put them in the plastic pot. Then I watered it and got the sparkler stick that I had bent. Then I tied it around the pot to make a handle.  Then I hung it on a nail which was somewhere on a mini house in front of our house. It looked pretty good. And what about the holes in the garden? Oh well, I planted the same type of plant in there...

Then I made a video... you guessed it.. on Canva. It was about How to Sa...wait should I tell you... Maybe let's keep it a surprise! The video is down below👇. Watch it to see what it is about.

Happy Diwali!

 Today is the main day of Diwali. I made a song for Diwali. Here it is below.

Happy Diwali!

 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.

Obstacle Course

 For this week's P.E task our class had to make an Obstacle Course. I made one with my sister . I did the recording and made the video and my sister was doing the obstacle course. My parents were busy so they couldn't help. I promised my sister ice - cream if she helped me, and now she really wants ice - cream. Here is the video below. 

Cake Again but it's Different!

 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. 

Mandarin Juice

 It is weird for me since it is mandarin juice instead of orange juice but in lockdown we actually made it. So why did my family make it? It was because we have a mandarin tree. In lockdown there were so many mandarins on it and we had no idea what to do with them. The second reason was that we wanted to have some orange juice but we couldn't go out shopping in lockdown because it was dangerous. The third reason was because we wanted to experiment it and see how it would taste like. Me and my sister were the taste testers. We had a little sip and it tasted a bit sour. We liked it because most of my family likes sour things. We made it three times but it wasn't really sour because our mandarins were a bit sweeter than last time. We didn't add sugar or anything else. It was just natural.Have you done any cooking during lockdown? If you have, did you like it? Tell me in the comments.

Bored.

 Hello again. I am bored..... and I am pretty sure you are too. So boring in lockdown it has been more than 4 weeks!  Do you want be positive? Yeah me too . But it is really hard. For some ideas of how to stay positive here is a podcast that I made. Hope you will enjoy! Click on this link to hear it. Stay safe and positive.

Cake!

 

Yesterday me and my family worked together to make a cake. We experimented it since we hadn't made one like this before. First we gathered the ingredients. Ingredients: 8 tablespoon self-raising flour, 6 tablespoon  Vegetable Oil, 1 Egg (we used condensed milk instead), 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (you can add more according to how much chocolaty you want to make it), Milk 6 tablespoons (but you can add more if necessary), 4 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips (optional), 2 tablespoon Vanilla Essence, Bowl and a Plate. These are the steps. First add 8 tablespoons of self-raising flour. Then, add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Next add 4 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder and mix it altogether. Then add the egg or whatever you are using. Next put in 6 tablespoons of milk, 6 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil, and mix carefully. Next add 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional). Then add the vanilla essence. Stir it carefully. Then get your plate and put it under the bowl and put both of them into the microwave to rise for 3 to 4 mins. You might be wondering why we have the plate. Well it is because it might explode out of the bowl and to make sure your microwave doesn't get all dirty. When it out of the microwave wait for it to cool and then carefully take it out of the bowl. Don't forget to share and enjoy! 

Art Is Fun!

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.

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!
