Today my challenge was to cook some food at home I did it by myself since the family members were busy and here are some pictures my dad took. Also these were two times I cooked so that's why I'm wearing different clothing. Sorry about my strange face expressions.
Yesterday my school task was to make a monster that you would go to when you were upset we had to draw the monster as well as make a comic out of it so here is a picture of my monster.
Today my task was to make a outer covering for an egg so it doesn't crack. What I learn't from this experiment is that even if you make the outer covering very stable it still has a chance of cracking. For this experiment my dad guided me through what he thought was the best way to make a outer covering for the little round egg. I used a zip lock bag, tissues, sponges, and rubber bands. Here is a video of my experiment.
So right now it is the mid Autumn festival which is celebrated in some Asian countries. My family is in Taiwan which also celebrates the festival, yesterday we called them to see what they were up to and it turned out they were having fun making moon cakes without us. They were also setting up for a barbecue in front of their house which in Taiwan is a tradition to do a barbecue in your driveway. It looked super exciting and made me want to go back to Taiwan to celebrate with them. But instead I'm in New Zealand watching them have fun and eat lots of food. But though they are having fun I'm sure they probably wouldn't want to send us any moon cakes.
I've gotten quite used to lockdown now, but not just because of past experiences because of the lockdown we are having right now. It's a shame I don't live in another island in New Zealand because otherwise I would be in school right now instead of watching rain fall down from my window at at home. Other than the loneliness, distance learning is okay and it gives you an opportunity to experience what it's like to be in a worldwide pandemic and in the future I'm sure you will still remember the time we had a world wide pandemic and had to go into lockdown.
I couldn't give you guys access to the doc so I copy pasted the story I hope you like it .
Olly was an oat who loved his life. He successfully went through all stages of growing and now he is an oat living in a box of weetbix. Olly got along with everyone and was loved by everyone so he thought his life could not possibly get better. Well he was right on that point, his life did not get better in fact it turned out to be a total disaster and I will talk about his disastrous life starting now.
On this day Olly was more excited than usual because he had a feeling in his gut something was going to happen. Like I said Olly did not expect his life to go any better because he was already living a dream but he never had a thought on whether his life could go wrong or not. He had a nightmare the night before but he thought nothing of it, the nightmare was about how everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong but he brushed it off and said “it’s just a dream”. Little did young Olly know this wasn’t just a dream and he was about to get hit with a lot of deja vu.
Now Olly woke up the next day to find his beloved teddy had been stolen, he cried all night and dreamed about his soft fluffy coating hoping teddy would come back. After a week he thought things had gotten better but boy was he wrong that was only the start of his bad luck.
Later on in the day everyone in the box of weetbix were celebrating because they were the only box who were purchased off the shelf in countdown. While on their ride to their new home expecting a welcome party Olly suggested that they should be extra nice and help set up what they thought would be a welcome party.
But when they arrived they were confused and they thought where the surprise party was but they sat patiently waiting in the box. Finally! they all thought after feeling someone pick up the box to go into the house. Meanwhile inside the house the young lady carefully opened up the cardboard cereal box and cut open the packet. Every grain and oat cheered as loud as they could but the lady couldn't hear so they gave up, but instead of picking them up she poured them into a bowl and later on poured cold fresh milk on top of their heads. For everyone this was quite frightening but only Olly found it entertaining. He cheered for more milk while others looked him up and down as if they never even knew him. Suddenly out of nowhere plopped a silver spoon and it scooped Olly up and put him in a big chomper. Luckily he escaped while trying to realise that this wasn’t a dream. He ran outside the open window and prayed that his friends would be safe as well. Soon he couldn’t bear to stay anymore and leaped off the window frame into the great universe that he had never even taken a glimpse at before.
Not long after Olly had escaped he found himself lost, I mean who can blame him he had spent his whole life in a cardboard box. But, he stayed resilient and kept walking until he arrived in a patch of grass. The insects living inside that patch of grass were all friendly and willing to take him in as a new friend and he gladly accepted and he continued the rest of his life in the patch of grass with his new friends never to see his old friends again.
