Willow and the deadly dragon

Hi guys! Today I am going to show you my legend.

                                             Willow and the deadly dragon

                        

A very long time ago, there was this warrior named Willow. Willow was a grey husky who knew karate. Willow was a boy. Willow was a very brave warrior. Willow lived in a small village in a small house.

One day when Willow was going down the stairs of his house to go to the market to get dinner he heard a noise.“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH” said a little girl. Willow ran back up to his window and he looked in the direction that he heard the noise come from and he saw a big dragon. The little girl kept on screaming and screaming for help, but no one came to save her. Willow grabbed his bow and arrow and shield then he jumped out the window to save the little girl. Willow sped through the crowd of people watching the little girl and Willow jumped up into the air and grabbed the little girl out of the dragon’s grip. Everybody started to clap and cheer for Willow as he brought the little girl back to her parents.

The next morning when Willow woke up he felt very proud of himself for saving the little girl. Still, the village was under attack so, Willow quickly, surprisingly, did something very weird…

He flew.

Willow flew out the window to get groceries in the market. Everybody was staring at Willow in the air flying. Willow got salty chicken, corn, a large juicy apple, a small, medium, and big pear, and one cookie as giant as an envelope. After getting all his food, he returned to his apartment and ate it. After Willow ate his food he walked around the village. “I just saw the…” said Wilow “um hello can you carry please help me carry this across the street.” “Sure,” said Willow. “I hope you understand that I am an old lady that can’t do many things that other people in this village can.”

A few seconds later Willow finished helping the old lady. ”I heard you can fly so, can you please fly me up the stairs.”

“Absolutely,” said Willow. I am such an old lady that I can’t do all the things that everybody else in the village can.” Wait! Willow thought, this old lady said the same thing the other old lady said! This lady is trying to stop me from helping the people of the village. “I AM NOT GOING TO HELP YOU!” “ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS STOP ME FROM HELPING THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE!” “Ugh!” “You caught me”.

Willow just finished tying up the bad lady in his bedroom, when he remembered about the deadly dragon. Willow flew out the window to fight the deadly dragon. Willow hit the dragon hard on the head and the dragon breathed fire. “Oww!” said a person watching the fight. Willow looked over and saw him fall on his head. Everybody gasped.

One hour later everybody was at the funeral. “Hannah Jonathan was a lovely woman and will be greatly missed.” Everybody was very sad that Hannah Jonathan had died from the deadly dragon but, because she died now Willow knew that the dragon breathed deadly fire. Everybody said nice things about Hannah Jonathan. After all the nice things were said everybody went home and tried not to worry about the deadly dragon.

The next morning when Willow woke up he heard a noise that sounded like screaming. Willow quickly sat up and got his sword and shield. Willow jumped out the window

for the third day in a row and flew in the direction of the screaming. When Willow was in the air flying he did not see anybody looking at him like the other times he flew. He thought that everybody was hiding inside their houses because they were scared to get killed by the deadly dragon. “Please destroy the deadly dragon and save us from getting killed.” “You are the only person who can save us”.

When he was going to bed he thought about what the man had said. Willow thought about what he had said for the whole night and realized that he was right. Now that Willow figured out that he was the one to destroy the dragon he had to make a plan. In one hour he made a plan that he thought would work. First, he would get everyone away from the dragon, then he would stab the dragon with the sword of Gryffindor, and finally, everybody would be saved and nobody would get killed.

The next day Willow got up at six o’clock and got ready to fight the dragon. Willow grabbed the sword of Gryffindor and went over his plan in his head. Willow jumped out the window for the fourth but there was something different about the jump this time…

Willow fell.

Willow got up from the ground and started walking to the deadly dragon. Willow heard many extremely loud

screams and he got a little nervous because the screaming sounded like the whole village.

Willow got there just in time before a person got killed by the dragon. Willow was so surprised because everybody in the village was in the dragon’s grip trying to get out of the dragon’s grip terrified. Everybody was screaming louder than ever before. Willow felt like he was going to faint, he felt so nervous because he felt like there was so much pressure on him. Even though he was very nervous he jumped up in the air and surprisingly, flew again. Willow freed many people from the dragon’s grip. Willow tried to kill the dragon but the dragon was way too strong to die from a cut. Willow tried to kill the dragon but things just got worst because everybody was dying quickly.

A few minutes later everybody was dead except Willow who was hanging off a cliff trying to get back on his feet. The dragon breathed fire and almost hit Willow. With all his strength he took the sword of Gryffindor and stabbed it into the rock and used it as a step to get back on his feet. Willow ran into the dragon and stabbed it in the heart and killed it. Willow looked at the dragon proud that he killed it.

Two seconds and five hundred and fifty-six milliseconds later Willow looked at the dragon one last time before throwing the dragon into the river but, the dragon

wasn’t there. Willow couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he saw all of the dead people from the village in front of him being still and silent. Willow couldn’t tell if this was real or not but something inside of him told him it was really real. The whole village started cheering and saying “you are our hero” to Willow. Willo went to his house but it was a little bit difficult for him to get there because everybody thanked and thanked him. Willow was extremely proud of himself for killing the dragon. Now this story is a legend that has been told for thousands of years.

Rocks and Minerals

Hi guys! Today I will tell you about the project I did with my friend Saturn. We were told to do a project on rocks and minerals.

What did we decide to do?

We chose three rocks marble, amethyst, and rose quartz.

Marble

Marble is a sedimentary rock. When limestone gets buried deep in the ground for millions of years, the heat and pressure can change limestone into metamorphic rock. Marble can be in many colours.

Amethyst 

Amethyst is an igneous and gemstone rock. Amethyst comes in various shades of purple and it comes with glossy white streaks. Ancient Egyptians used Amethyst in jewellery. When amethyst is exposed to heat geologists have found that it gets darker.

Rose Quartz 

Rose quartz is a very common mineral in the earth’s crust. Rose quartz is a milky pink colour. Rose quartz is an igneous/gemstone rock. Rose quartz is glassy lustre and hard. When squeezed it makes electricity.

Learning goal

My learning goal was to show what I learned about rocks and minerals.

How I found self-directed science?

At first, I found it a little bit hard to think of what I was going to do for my project, but then in the end I found it easier and more fun to do my project without having to do what the teacher said.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I found self-directed fun.

Here’s a picture of Saturn and I’s project

 

 

Public speaking reflection

Hi guys! Today I am going to tell you about my public speaking.

First I am going to tell you what my speech is about. My speech was about why crab trapping should be stopped. In my speech, my three main points were animals that have been affected by crab traps, the number of declining crabs, and Winter the dolphin’s story. I also added a paragraph about what traps are.

The part about public speaking I found most challenging was speaking. I found speaking very hard because for me it is very scary to speak in front of people. I also found it scary because everybody was looking at me. When I found out I got into the finals, I was very happy but I also got more scared because I would have to talk in front of grades not just one class with eleven people. When I arrived at the gym, I found out I was going first. I was so nervous and my heart was beating as fast as the wings of a bee. When I got called up to stand in front of the gym, I started to shake a lot because I was so nervous. Then again, everybody was looking at me and that just made me even more nervous. In a few seconds, I started, and even though I was so nervous and scared I did my speech in front of the crowd. Then I was done the scariest part, it was over.

The part I found the easiest was writing my speech. I found writing my speech the easiest because I enjoy writing. I also found writing my speech the easiest part because I was writing something I like, not a boring topic. Although it was a little bit hard to think of my third point. Overall, I think writing was the easiest part of my public speaking because I enjoyed it, and it did not involve doing something in front of a crowd.

Next time for public speaking I would speak a little bit louder, try not to get as nervous, look up at the audience more, and have more hand gestures.

 

Innovation Day: Medieval drawbridge and castle

Hi guys! Today I am going to tell you how I made my medieval drawbridge and castle, and some backround  information on the medieval times.

Castles

Castle are places that people built for protection from enemies in the middle ages. The first castles were made out of wood. There were usually only three rooms in a castle. Sometimes there are moats around castles. A moat is water that surounds a castle. Sometimes castles can suround a little village. People still build buildings that look like castles because they think they look nice.

(Castle in Germany)

Drawbridges

A drawbridge is a type of bridge that usually leads to a castle. A drawbridge is a way that you can protect yourself from enemies by lifting the bridge up. A drawbridge usually goes over a moat. A drawbridge can lift to let boats go through. In the medieval times, drawbridges were usually made out of wood.Bridge, Waters, Drawbridge, Flow, Travel, England

(London bridge)

Lords vs Serfs

Lords lived privileged and serfs did not. Lords lived in nice and big houses, but serfs lived in wood and mud houses with straw beds. Lords had nice clothes and serfs didn’t. Serfs had to do farming and take care of animals, while the lords would get the stuff they made and harvested. The boys usually got to learn to read and even write. If the girls lived in a very privileged family, they might have learned to read or embroid. In the medieval times, the lords were one of the people who had the most power. Some serfs would be called freemen. The serfs had the least power.

(feudal system)

Knights

Knights usually fought on horses for their master. Knights also sometimes fought on foot. To be a knight, you need to be able to afford armour. The best soldiers were knights. You need a lot of money to become a knight, so if you became a knight your family would have probably had a lot of money. You could make a lot of money by being a knight. You can get a lot of money by winning a battle or war. Sometimes if you do a very good job as a reward you can be given a special name.

Please click on this link to see my blogpost about pulleys.

How I got my information

First I looked in some books with medieval drawbridges leading to castles. Then I looked online and found some facts about medieval drawbridges. Next I wrote down my facts on a piece of paper. Finally, I drew a picture of what my medieval drawbridge and castle would look like.

Hypothesis

I planned to use cardboard for my castle and the bridge of my drawbridge, then I planned to use my pulley from the “science in the school bag” to make my drawbridge go up.

Procedure

1.I got some cardboard and started to cut out shapes that I needed to make my drawbridge.

2.I glued some pieces of cardboard together to make a castle to attach my drawbridge to.

3.I made a door for my castle with straws and attached a string so it could hang on to the top of the castle.

4.I cut a little piece of a bamboo stick about one inch long, and wrapped it in green and grey pipecleaners.

5.I put a hole in the first end of the drawbridge, and glued the bamboo stick in the hole with some hot glue.

6.I made a hole in the piece of cardbaord and stuck a bamboo stick about four inches long in the hole, and put a red straw over the stick.

7.I attached the piece of cardboard to the first end of the drawbridge with a pipecleaner, and then I did the same thing with the other side.

8.I glued the other side of the drawbridge to the castle. Next I glued the pulley to the bamboo stick that was 4 inches long, and attached the string to the bamboo stick that was one inch long.

9.I wrapped the string to the pulley.

10.I painted my medieval drawbridge and castle.

11.I added two little pieces of cardboard about two inches long inside the castle to be tables, and then I added to smaller pieces of cardboard about the same length to be benches.

12.I made four little pipecleaner plates to put on the tables, and then I added four little pieces of different colour pipecleaner to be the food on the plates.

13.I made a spiral staircase by getting one bamboo stick and piting pieces of cardboard on the stick.

14. I cut a small piece of cardboard and glued it to the top of my castle were the spiral staircase would lead.

15. I made a bed by cutting a tiny piece of cardboard and putting pink pipecleaners for the pillow blue pipecleaners for the sheets

16. I made a little night table beside the bed.

17. I added another little piece of cardboard right beside the spiral staircase and made another bed with many different colours for the pillow and sheets.

(Video of me pulling the string of my pulley)

Results

My drawbridge worked when I pulled the string that was in the groove of the pulley.

(My final tour of my castle with harry potter characters)
Conclusion

Next time I would start out with one box so I don’t have to cut multiple pieces for my castle walls and floor because, it is extra work and it would have been easier to start out with one box.

Sound experiments

Hi guys! Today I am going to tell you about my science expariments. I leared that sound travels slow in gas faster in liquid and even faster in solids like wood.

Expariment 1

Hypothesis

I think that vibrations cause sounds when things move.

Conclusion

When I hit my tuning fork on my desk and then put then put it over my cup with saran wrap and salt, the salt vibrates. I also heard a loud bang.

Expariment 2

Hypothesis

I thouight that when I hit the tuning fork on the desk and then in the water it would do nothing.

Conclusion

My hypothesis was wrong. When I hit the tuning fork on my desk and then put it in the water the water buzzed. When the water buzzed some of the water flew everywhere.

The lost gummy bear

 

Hello my name is Willow. I am a husky boy. I am very brave even though I am small. These past few months I have been trying to find the lost gummy bear and I have not succeeded. I have been searching in the mountains. Right now I am in P.E.I on the confederation bridge. I have decided to bring some friends along to help me. Their names are Bunny and Sandy. 

 

Hello my name is Bunny. I am light pink and have long floppy ears. One of my favourite things to do is parachute. My body is shaped like a parachute and that’s why it makes it very easy for me to parachute. Now my friend Sandy is going to introduce himself. 

 

Hello my name is Sandy. I am a black and light brown rottweiler. I have one daughter named blacky. I also really like to play around with my friends. My best friends don’t know what exciting mission we are going on, so I really hope they like it. 

 

The next day I told them what the mission was “So listen up, our mission is to find the lost gummy bear”. They were both so excited but Sandy had a little problem. ‘I need somebody to take care of Blacky” said Sandy. Luckily we had Turtly to take care of Blacky. Turtly was a green sea turtle. Turtly was about 40 years old. Everybody loved Turtly because he was so nice and kind.

 

 A few minutes later after they had solved the problem they started to pack up for that big mission. They ran up a mountain where the little house that Willow rented was. On the way up the mountain they saw lots of red foxes because they were the provincial animal of P.E.I. When they got up to the little house they started to pack.

 

 They grabbed three big backpacks and put lots of water, food, and sleeping gear inside. In a few minutes after they made sure they got everything ready, they left the house. They started to walk down the bumpy mountain and then turned right when they were half way down. After they turned right they started to walk up the bumpy mountain ag. Then they turned left and started to walk up the mountain again. They kept on turning and turning and eventually they didn`t know where they were.

 

 Sandy said  “we should find a flat piece of land under some trees and lay out sleeping bags.”

Willow and Bunny said “ok”. 

“I think we should split up,” said Bunny. 

“That sounds like  a good idea!” agreed Sandy and Willow. Then they split up

 

They looked around for about ten minutes until they found a flat piece of land with trees. Willow, Sandy, and Bunny layed out their sleeping bags on that flat piece of land with trees. They went in their sleeping bags and got all cozy. Then without getting out of their sleeping bags they put their backpacks beside them. Willow, Bunny, and Sandy told spooky stories to each other. After they told spooky stories they fell asleep under the night sky. 

 

At 5:00am they woke up. They were very tired but they got out of their sleeping bags anyway. They had bread with budder for breakfast and lots of water. They rolled up their sleeping bags and put them in their bags. Willow, Bunny, and Sandy packed up their food. They started to walk up the mountain to find the gummy bear. As they got nearer to the top of the mountain it started to get colder and colder. As they reached the top of the mountain there started to become ice.

 

 Willow, Bunny, and Sandy were not prepared to be walking on ice. After Willow, Bunny, and Sandy took a few more steps they saw the big golden gummy bear. They started to run up the mountain even though it was very slippery. As they were getting closer and closer the ice started cracking and they fell down. “Aaaaaahhhhhhhh” they all screamed as they were falling down the mountain. 

 

They landed on the flat piece of land with trees where they slept. Now that they thought about it they weren’t really prepared for a lot of things. Willow, Bunny, and Sandy luckily didn’t get hurt. They had some little cuts but not anything else. “We should eat right now and then go to bed,”said Willow. “Agreed” said Bunny and Sandy. 

 

It has been so long that they didn’t even realize that it was already dinner time. For dinner they had butter and bread again. Now they really thought that they did not do a single bit of planning for their adventure. After they finished eating they went to bed.

 

 The next day they got up a little later than they did yesterday and had butter bread for breakfast. They rolled up their sleeping bags and put them in their bags. They packed everything up and went up the mountain. This time they knew that it would take a long time to get up the mountain. They started to walk up the bumpy mountain again taking the same route as last time.

 

 When they got nearer it started to get very hot and not cold. When they were about ten feet away they went very slowly to the gummy bear and picked it up gently. They held it up in the air and screamed “Yeaaaahhhh”. They had found the lost gummy bear. It was bright yellow and very jiggly. They were so happy to have found the lost gummy bear.

 

 They started to walk down the mountain very, very carefully. Willow, Bunny and Sandy stopped walking down the mountain when they got to the flat piece land with trees. With some leaves they all created one pup phone to call Brownie. 

 

“Brownie was my owner’s fourth favourite stuffy,”said Willow calmly. “I’m going to tell him to program  the stuffy mobile to come to prince edward island, we’ll meet her at the bottom of the hill”said Willow calmly. “Let’s start walking down the mountain!,”said Willow excitedly. 

 

Very carefully they walked down the mountain still holding the gummy bear in their hands. When they reached the bottom of the mountain they saw the stuffy mobile with Brownie in it. They ran to the stuffy mobile and said “Hi” to Brownie. They hopped in the stuffy mobile and they flew off to my bedroom.

Personal Recount

Hi, today Im going to tell you how to do a recount.

What is a recount?

A recount is somthing you have ritten that happend to you before.

How you make a recount?

First you need to pick an event that had happend to you before. Then you need to write that event and what happend in that event in order. Finnally you need to make sure that you use past tense verbs.

Here is a example of my recount:

First

First me, Coby, daddy and mommy got into my car in the middle of winter. Then my grandpa drove us to the airport. When we got to the airport, we rolled all our luggage to the place where we put the large bags. Then we went to the place where they checked if everything was safe to go on the plane. That is my least favourite part about going to an airport. Finally, we got onto a plane. Me and Coby watched lots of movies. 

 

We landed in Florida and got the car that we rented. I always don’t like going through all of the stuff daddy has to do in the airport to get the car. Next we started driving to the area where there are a lot of mansions and when we got there daddy had to tell the code to the guy to open the gate. We drove into the place with many mansions. Finally, we found the mansion and said “hi” to the 11 other people who were there. I felt so happy to see some of my family that I’ve never seen before.

 

Then everybody went inside the mansion. Everybody dropped off their stuff and me, Coby and one of my cousins went exploring. The mansion had an arcade, outdoor pool, fitness room, a spa room, balconies, two spiral staircases, multiple bedrooms, a big kitchen and living room, and an elevator that sadly did not work at the time. I thought it was the best house I’ve ever been in. Then we all went upstairs to our rooms and went to bed.

 

Then the next day everybody got up, had breakfast and got in the cars to start driving to downtown disney. It was a long line. I started to get really bored waiting in the big line of cars. When everybody got out of their cars we went inside the park and started exploring. In downtown disney my uncle said all of the kids could pick one thing that they wanted up to about $30 dollars each. I looked around and I decided to get lots of hugs from toy story two. After a few minutes I realised that he smelled like strawberries. Everybody walked around a bit more and we all saw a really big lego dragon lego sculpture in the middle of the lake. Finally we all got back into the cars and drove back to the mansion.

We also used are recount skills to create a visual recout of the wild robot so far.
