Hi blogger, I have one more task to share with you, but this task is all about design construction which means designing something and crafting them. 

So the task was to make a paper air plane and measure the maximum distance. I was pretty happy with my paper air plane because it got up to a whooping 11 metres, which is almost the same of a telephone pole. It was very fun to make them. 

Have you ever made a paper air plane? 

Here is a video of how to make them:

Youtube - World Record Plane.

It was also interesting on how the plane was folded because I think the crease made the plane glide really far. And it was very interest of how the plane flew, because it wen't really high and slowly glide down. 

Hope you enjoyed making the paper plane make sure to leave a comment, to make improvements on my plane.

The task was to answer all the following question. The questions where very interesting because I need to research and learn about some of the Paralympics sports. And the topic that I picked was related to para sports. it took some time for me because the questions were very interesting because I've never watched Paralympics or know anything about them.

New para sports that have been added to paralympics?

The new para sports that have been added to paralympics are badminton, taekwondo and snowboarding. 

Profile two para sports and include the following: 

When was wheelchair basketball introduced?

 The Wheelchair basketball paralympics was introduced in 1946 from World War II, for the people who served but wanted to participate in playing basketball. 

When was wheelchair fencing introduced? 

And wheelchair fencing was introduced in1960  which was developed by Sir Ludwig Guttmann. 

How is wheelchair basketball played? 

The wheelchair basketball is similar to normal basketball because they include rules that are included in original basketball.  The players are able to stop and push their wheelchair twice. Two teams of five battle against each other and try to shoot the basketball in the hoop. 

How is wheelchair fencing played?

The players are seated in a wheelchair and a piece of fencing frame is fixed to the wheelchair. And the players fight only with their upper body. The players sit in a sitting position and close distance fighting which makes the sport very intense. 

Special equipment for wheelchair basketball?

The wheelchair basketball is used by a special wheelchair that makes the player have fast movement. 

Special equipment for wheelchair fencing? 

Wheelchair fencing blade includes parts like foil, epee and sabre. And the wheelchair fencing includes a fencing jacket. 

Two interesting facts about wheelchair basketball:

Wheelchair basketball has different roles which have higher or lower points. And people with different abilities are playing a different position. The total sum of players on the court needs to  be 14 or less. 

Two interesting facts about wheelchair fencing:

The way the players move and control their swords are necessary. As the players fight in close range the players can win or get a strike in just a split second. 

I learned a lot of things in my Paralympics work because I was very interested on how the game works, and how it was different to normal Olympic sport.

Lockdown Week 2 Activities

 Ni hao bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog. For today's blog post, I will be sharing with you the activities that I down for my lockdown week 2 activities. 

So the activities that I choose were to use google drawing and reproduce the flag that I want to make. And the other activity was to create a "Who Am I" for someone famous. 

These activities were really fun and enjoyable to make because I got to be creative and learn more about a famous person. 

Which flag do you think I made and who do you think I made the Who am I for?

Here is my work:

I actually loved doing both of the activities. I enjoyed doing the flag because I got to experiment with the colours and make it like a flag on a pole. I also enjoyed creating the who am I task because I got to learn more of that person's story and facts about him. 

Hope you enjoyed my blog post and learned something, make sure to not be shy to comment on my blog. Have a great day(:

Prehistoric Art

In today's blog post I will be sharing another task that I did for my art class during the lockdown.

So the task that I picked was to create prehistoric artwork. So I've searched up on the internet on how to create prehistoric art. And I've also been getting an inspirational drawing of prehistoric art on the internet. 

So I've actually created one and I am willing to share it with you, but first Imma asks you a question. What is prehistoric art? For me, prehistoric art is people from back in the olden days who drew before it was written or recorded. And what the people in the olden days see, which became our history. 

Anyways here is my picture:

I did my work by scrunching up a piece f paper and colouring it with brown and red crayons, using them by using the edge of the crayons. And I scrunched up the paper again and add another layer. After it looked good I drew some pictures of prehistoric art which I got from the internet. 

it was very fun making the artwork because I've learned that you can tear off the skin of the crayons, and use it like charcoal. I was having trouble drawing the pictures because I broke the black color of my crayons. But it turned out pretty well and I am proud of it.

Hope you enjoyed my blog post, and make sure to leave a positive, thoughtful, and helpful comment. Have an awesome day(:

Art Class (Dream house)

 Konichiwa readers, 

Welcome back to my blog. This year I have an art class, but since it's lockdown we still can do some art activities. 

So my teacher made a slide presentation and put some activities that we can choose from and is related to art. So the one that made me very interesting and wanted to try is, dawing my dream house which could be cozy, modern, countryside, near the beach or perfectly classic. So I drew a creative and modern type of looking house, with some advanced technology. 

Here is my drawing:

My drawing turned out like a one-year-old drawing because I am a really bad artist. But I didn't give up because I know I'm a bad drawer but I still think creatively about how to turn my drawing more creative. Which I'm kind of disappointed and proud of myself at the same time.

But I hope you liked my drawing and creativity because that's actually kind of my dream house but not kind of this drawing. 

Please don't hesitate to comment. And if you are one of those good artists please give me tips on how to draw.(:

How To Make An Origami Flapping Bird

Kia, ora readers, 

Welcome back to my blog. And in today's blog post I will be sharing with you how to make an origami flapping bird. 

The inspiration for me to make origami birds is doing one of the lockdown tasks. And the task is to watch a youtube tutorial and teach yourself how to make origami. And take a picture of it and post an instructional video on your blog so that others can try it too.

Unfortunately, I don't have a tutorial but I have made it. But now I will show you a clip of a YouTuber making the flapping origami bird. 

Tutorial - Of the flapping bird

I was having a hard time making that video because some of the parts I have to pause because I forget what the next step is. It was very difficult to make because I used a lot of paper and failed to make them, so I had to make them a coup times. But I was very proud when I finished making it because it turned out the bird actually flaps its wings. The reason why I couldn't post it to my blog is I think it was too big of a clip that is why I could upload it. 

I hope you learned how to make origami and don't hesitate to comment or ask me any questions. 

Philippines Language Week

But I was very proud because I finished my work and made a really good slide presentation. But I think I need to work faster on my work because it's just like school but at home. 

But anyways here is my presentation:
