Ode to my Artistic Fingers

Thank you

Fluttering across the white landscape,

guided by a single piece of wood.

Sculpting the grey froth of the ocean’s many tongues

and the ominous shadow of the old man’s hood.

Together you work with my mind,

Painting the salt-sand grains of the sea.

The gentle sighing of seagulls’ wings

and the mulling-over smell of the old man’s tea.

Finished with the whipping wind,

you lay down the guiding wood

and pick up your own cup of tea,

Examining the shadow of the old man’s hood.

Thank you

Medal: I really liked writing this poem because the idea just popped into my head

Medal: I am proud of myself because I helped Tobias write his ode at the same time as mine

Mission: To thank the object more

Electronics Tech

I found that the Get ready Get through website says we need a torch with spare batteries in our Emergency Kit. I am going to design and create a torch ready for an emergency.

Body parts

Yesterday Ms Smith got us to make a few  body parts and stick them on someone in your group. They had to be the right colour, shape, size and  in place. This is how they turned out: 

    

My group was a team of three and I drew the parts. We worked together really well and won the challenge. What we could have done better was not mucking around discussing at the start. My wondering from this is 'why does the kidney look like a kidney bean? Were kidney beans named after the human kidney?'
