media type="custom" key="22583408" Thursday 29th March Hi! I'm Aimee and I am nine, I'm in pod 9 and I'm a year 5.

Our topic for this year is creativity. We had to chose something creative to work on to present to all the other people in intrepid learners. My one is a volcano that will hopefully explode. Today we had to get into groups to solve a problem this is one of them that Jess and I did together. Your shoes are on the other side of some sharp oyster covered rocks, and all you have to help you is a reel of cotton, a spoon, a bottle, a basket and a can opener. One of Jess's and I's best ideas were to bend the spoon, tie it to the cotton and throw it over to the other side. Once it is over you can try to hook the bent spoon around the laces and drag it back then you should have them!

Thursday 4 April Today I have started my volcano. It looked simple and kept that way for a little while, till it got up to the folding the cone shape. It took a while until I finally got it, but then it collapsed because I forgot to tape it.Then I got it again and this time I remembered to tape it and it stayed up.Now I am going to try something. I am going to screw up pieces of newspaper to try and keep it steady in a way. Today I have been finishing off taping the volcano to the cardboard. So I have had some difficulties doing it because I sort of cut it to much around the bottom of my volcano.

 Thursday 18 April Today I have started painting my volcano. For the paints I chose red for the top part, brown for almost the hole volcano, dark green for around the bottom part of the volcano and light green for the ground. It was a little difficult painting over the tape but it wasn't to hard. ||
