My new famous string art

 In lock down I taught myself how to do string art with out a tutorial. I will teach you how to do it.


I would say the learning was a success because they turned out pretty good. You will need a big thick needle, cotton string, a canvas, paint, scissors and masking tape. First cut masking tape to length of canvas. Then put tape on whatever place you want (I did sideways ). Paint the half then wait to dry before switching where the tape was put and paint the other side. When completely dry draw a design on the back and poke holes through the canvas from the design on the back. Then cut a long piece of string and divide into four pieces. Then put the little piece of string through the needle and tie a simple knot. Weave through the holes making sure that after you go through the hole from the back you go through the hole to make that stitch appear. Make sure to always end at the back of the canvas so you can cut of excess there and keep on going just like you started with a new piece of string. Have you ever made string art before?

My super fun birthday

 Yesterday was my birthday. Mum and I made a feast for dinner. My favourite dinner is Chinese so Mum and I made Sweet N Sour Pork & Lemon Chicken on Fried Rice. It takes a lot of preparation and time to make. We also baked a cake but Mum wanted to surprise me with the special icing. Mum and Dad couldn't get presents so Dad got as many lollies as possible from the supermarket. Mum and my sister Anika stayed up late Wednesday night to put up balloons and decorate the box of lollies.

 Have you every made Chinese food at home before? Did you enjoy it?



My Cool Lock Down Rap

 In lock down it's very fun to do stuff like baking and bike rides. But my teacher Mr A wanted the class to do a lock down rap. 

I have been writing this rap about how I feel about lock down. My favourite part was the titanic part. I think that when in lock down if you don't go out of the house then you should bake and play outside and have some fun instead of laying in your bed all day. Have you ever done a lock down rap? If not ask your teacher and use Pobble because you get inspiration from the pictures on that website.
