All about the awesomeness of octopuses!

Dear readers,

Today I will be talking about octopuses!

       Ghostlike octopus! So cute!

1. The first octopus I will be talking about is a coconut octopus.                                                                                                                                  The coconut octopus lives in the coast of Lembeh, an Indonesian island. Are you wondering why it is called a coconut octopus? It’s called a coconut octopus because it likes to hide in empty coconut shells and any big shells. The octopus’s body is a s big as your thumb!An octopus sees a diver as a person who wants to hurt him so they squirt ink at them!

2. The second octopus I will be talking about is an octopus that lived a long time ago. In a museum in Bristol, England there is a fossil with an imprint of a 10 inch octopus on it. The fossil is rare because usually animals with soft bodies leave no trace. It’s is 90 years old and one of the oldest known octopuses!

Octopuses are wonders! If you want to learn more about different types of octopuses you can read the National Geographic magazine called Explorer Pathfinder: Octopus.

Breakout EDU!

Dear readers,

Last week my class did something called Breakout Edu! Do you know what Breakout EDU is? Breakout EDU is usually a challenge you do with a group of buddies or anyone you’d like. You have a certain amount of time to get out of a room or rooms that lead to other rooms. Thre are clues hidden around the room and you need to find them all of these clues usually leads to a key or a code that unlocks the door to escape the room.

But, our clsss did something diferent we went to our science room and clues were hidden around the room. We had to break into a box with five locks.              Something our class could have done better is we could have had better teamwork and we could have been more considerate to each other. When I found a big clue my classmates just snatched it out of my hand without asking. I even got scratched when they snatched it out of my hand which actually hurt a lot. Luckily, this week our teacher let us try and do it again we did way better and had much better teamwork.

Inside of the boxes were prizes the first time there were Hershey kisses inside and the second time we got bracelets, erasers, and squishy fake eyeballs.      The first time we did this challenge we still had a couple of minutes left, but the second time the teachers thought we would’t make it, but we made it with one minute left!

You should try this sometime! I thought it was very fun!                                                                                                                                                                      Thanks for reading! Please comment below!

Thanks,

Mother’s day art!

Dear readers,

Next week is Mother’s day and I wanted to make something special for my grandmother and send it to her!  I was looking online when I saw a beautiful sunset! Then I saw a different picture and I had the perfect idea! I painted a black tree with a sunset behind it! For my mom, I drew the shape of a heart with a black sharpie and painted a rainbow inside of it. Then I bent the paper so I could cut MOM inside and put plastic wrap on the back, which looked very cool! 🙂 I also went on pinterest and found lots of nice phrases for mother’s day and I put them all on one card with a picture beside each one, which also looked nice. I also like making little things out of clay, so I might make some other creation but I haven’t thought of anything yet. If you have any ideas of what I can make out of clay, please let me know! Pictures of what I made will be added soon.

Thanks,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Jen?
