Lego creation challenge

Lego creation


                          This my lego build that I made. It was originally a whale and a tractor.

 I like it because it can fly and drive and it is used for jumping off the back of it because then you can jump into the hot tub. You can take the tail off it and the wings on the top to transform it to a truck.
The blue and white bricks under the tail at the end are a turbo to make it go really fast.

Lockdown Present


My new bike




We went to Greymouth yesterday to pick up my new bike. 
We had to go to Dads work in Greymouth to pick it up they had put the wrong town on the address and it wouldn't have been delivered to Hokitika.


The bike came in a box on a crate. 
it was sitting on this frame 
Dad and i had to put the wheels on it we had to use blocks of wood to lift the bike up and use his tools to put it togther


 It is a automatic bike. That means no gears to change like my Dads bike. My Mums bike has gears that she has to change when she rides it.
I do have this foot gear leaver this is for forward and reverse. If you are in reverse you have to put it in neutral then drive to go forward 


This is the handle bars. It has brakes and the throttle. My bike also has head lights the switch is here. The lights have high and low beam
This bike has a thumb throttle. Some bikes have twist leavers to make it go


Today I got to go for a ride when the rain stopped
It was so much fun. We went to the beach. We are able to go to the beach as it is close to our house and in our bubble 

Mum took some photo's for me
I can not wait to go over to the beach again and use my bike.
I did a donut on my bike and I drifted it as well.

This is cheese

I was doing some reading on study ladder and learning about cheese and how it is made.
Mum said she had some different cheese in the fridge if I wanted to taste it.



Double cream blue cheese 


                                           This is the cheese out of the wrapper and this it double cream blue cheese and on the outside it has black wax all around it. The wax on the outside of the cheese helps to stop mould growing on it.
                                        This is me eating the cheese. I thought the cheese tasted gross and I had to spit it out after trying it. Mum laughed at me she thought it was really funny. She likes this cheese on crackers.

Guess who did it?


Mum went into her secret stash of goodies over the weekend and found this game called Cluedo.
It was tricky to work out what time the cake was eaten who ate the cake and what drink that person had with the cake. 
It was lots of fun. 
I can not wait to play with Mum again.

Crystal lab


Mum came home from work on Saturday with a crystal lab kit for me to do she got it from the shop.
It has three types of crystals to make it in.
The video is Mum tipping the crystal solution into the glow in the dark one first. I took the video while she did it.

It will take 7 days for the crystals to form on the base and then we can rinse them in water after that once they have charged in light they will glow in the dark I can not wait for that.
Waiting for them to form is no fun It takes ages.

 This is the first step.
I am mixing the crystal solution here in a bowl with hot water.
I used gloves in case i got the water on my hand.

This is the glow in the dark base and the tree that will turn into a crystal snow tree.






This is the container filled with the crystal solution

 This container may not work. I did not read the instructions. It was not until after I put the solution mix into the container that Mum looked at it and seen it was wrong.
It will be very interesting to see what happens with this one and if it grows any crystals in 7 days.
The water is blue and we can not see any growing in it.
These are called aquamarine crystals if they grow.

This is the crystal snow tree 
We used the last of the crystal mixture from the bowl and put the tree into this dish.
The paper tree will soak the water mixture and create the crystals

Here are the three different types of crystals I am growing
  



This is where we have put the crystals to grow.
They need a warm place.
We have put them next to the fire.



This is the snow tree after being left over night

The crystals feel soft at the moment.
 I have touched the ones in the tray.
Mum said if I leave them alone they will get harder and stay on the paper tree.

I can see the crystals forming on the base in this photo.
I took this photo 24 hours after I mixed it together
