Insect art

This is my insect art creation. It is a beetle made of sticks and leaves from my garden and the hot glue gun too. It was fun to make. I liked watching the youtube video about nature art. I made it by myself.

Making paper stars

 I tried to make paper stars. It was hard. I need to practice more. It would be easier with longer paper. My tip is to use longer paper and don't use cardboard and practice a lot. If you had lots of different colours you could make a chain of them and hang them across your wall.

My kitten oscar

My kitten Oscar is 9 weeks old. I got 3 days after Christmas. He likes sleeping, watching t.v, playing with me and eating.  He chewed off 2 bells on his favorite toy and he nibbles my fingers. He has a squeaky meow.

The other night I was in my bed asleep and he came into my bed and woke me up and I snuggled him for a little while and then gave him to mum and dad and went to bed.

Oscar is grey, and very fluffy with green eyes. He wears a blue collar with white polka dots and a bell on it. Its good he has a bell because we can hear him wherever he goes.

The people we got him from put a black collar on him but we changed it. When we went to pick him up I was wearing my reindeer headband and when he saw me he was hissing and all fur puffed up and he was scared and mum told me to take off my headband in case he was scared of it and when I did he stopped hissing. He thought I was a dog with the headband on.

He liked the car ride home.

I think he is very cute, and I love him. I love having a pet I haven't had one for three years. 

When I was holding him in this photo I did not know he was poking his tongue out.

Solar panels

My Nannie and Gramps have some solar panels on their roof. They have 11 solar panels. They got them 2 years ago.

If they didnt have their solar panels their power bill would be $300 or $400 a month and with solar panels it is only $150. In summer their power bills are only about $25.

All the power from the panels go into a box and if they have extra it goes back to power company. The box tells them how much power they are making.

The solar panels still make power on a dark cloudy day but not as much as a sunny day.

Gramps can see on his iPad how much power is made each day.

They have two heatpumps, drier, hrv, big hot water cylinder, oven, chest freezer. These are lots of things that use power. They are happy they have their solar panels.

God´s Creation

 We have been learning about God´s creation and that it is holy because God made it .I can look after God's Creation by 

don't pollute because it damages the water and hurts the animals

do not litter because it wrecks the environment

do not chop down trees because we might not have any in the future

Campervan holiday - part 1

On Tuesday 14th July my Dad went to pick up the campervan. I almost fainted when I saw how big the campervan was. My mum told me to go inside and get my bag so I ran inside and grabbed my two bags.

Day 1. We drove to Tekapo and on the way we went to Geraldine there was a bouncy castle there. It was so colorful and really really fun. I made two new friends and they were sisters like me and Indiana. We kept driving to Tekapo and when we got there my friends Emma and Mya were waiting their for us. I could not believe I got to sleep up the top bunk with Indi. It was really cold in Tekapo so my Dad had to put lots of layers and blankets and duvets over us.

Day 2. When I woke up it was completely frosted and we walked all the way to the snow tubing. We could go up and down until it got to five times. I went down with Emma two times, Daddy one time, and I went by myself two times. After that we went to the cafe where Mummy and Freya and Charlotte (Emma and Myas Mum) and Nannie and Gramps were waiting for us. Me and Emma and Indi and Mya all watched ice skating after that we went to Lake Tekapo and there was a little frosted and frozen lake and we threw rocks on it and then we walked all the way back to the campervan to get ready for the hot pools.
