I feel like i worked very well today and i got a lot done, for example I now have a story line for what the music video could be! ( / videos )

passion project update
Today I changed my plan a bit. I am also going to do a movie with Charli, Jessy, Scarlett, Charlotte and Isla. all their passion projects link up with mine as well because Charli is doing acting so she will be an actress, Jessy's is makeup so she'll do our stage makeup, Scarlett and Charlottes is art so they will do the backdrops and props and lastly Isla's was photography so she can learn different styles (she will also act) I wrote down a plan for the movie as well.

making rockets!
Today we made rockets, we had to make the rockets go as high as we could with the resources we had which were:
First of all you cut a square out of tin foil and wrap it around your finger to make a small cup, then fill it up half way up with the "rocket powder", secondly you get your canister and fill that up a quarter full of "rocket powder" and finally add the "rocket powder (in the tin foil) to the liquid and watch it explode!
Q: what worked well?
A: less "rocket powder" and "rocket fuel" worked better probably because there was more air to build up pressure to make it pop faster and fly higher.
Q: what didn't work well?
A: more "rocket powder" and "rocket fuel" didn't work as well most likely because there wasn't enough air to build up pressure to make it pop as fast or as high.
so all in all less powder and fuel works better and too much powder and fuel doesn't work as well.

Story Starter!
On Christmas Eve they came…
She had first seen them through the sitting room window, as she peeked out cautiously through a gap in the curtains.
Opening the front door, the little girl took a sharp intake of breath as thousands upon thousands of snowmen stared at her. Many of the small, white figures carried signs, written in different languages.
They must have travelled from all over the world to be here, on this special night of the year. But…Why had they come? What did they want? Why had they chosen her?
Wait were snowmen santas helpers? did they need her? That was a cool thought, but the real reason was much weirder. One snowman (I’m guessing was the leader)
Slithered forwards and bellowed “are you Aria?”
“Ummm yes?” I replied wearily “he hem, well miss Aria, you are needed we have a problem”
“What kind of problem?” I replied to a snowman? “There is a deadly disease going around, only snowmen can get it, it’s called deconstucteosis, if you haven’t already guessed it deconstructs us. The reason why we need you is because the mother of all snowmen has the disease and is slowly deconstructing! we need you to help put her back together. Please you are our only hope!”
I glanced back at my warm house then back at the weird little snowmen creatures, then finally I agreed “ okay only if I’m back by christmas!”and with that I was zapped of to help build the mother of all snowmen?!?
It was a long and painful journey… wait what am I talking about I was there in 2, no 3 seconds! And this, this place! It was beyond gorgeous, indescribable in fact! Then suddenly the mysterious creatures made their way up to greet me, pulling me towards the grand building, topped with a delicate layer of snow all chanting “your majesty your saved, your majesty your saved, your majesty your saved” The noise drifted away as we neared the entrance of the majestic castle. I was rushed upstairs, down hallways, around corners until I stumbled into the sick queens room. The door slammed hard behind me as I edged closer to the queen “ ah aria! I’m so glad to see you! well I would come to greet you but you know, I have deconstucteosis *sniffs*” then all of a sudden the queen broke into a full out cry, I tried to comfort her by patting her shoulder but she was so cold, oh yeah that’s right she is made out of snow, I staggered back as I came back to reality I WAS COMFORTING A SNOWMAN!!! Oh well she needed my help and I was going to give it to her!
“There is no need to cry, I am here now it’s going to be alright”
“You’re right I might melt my snow anyway. I just want to say thank you so much for sparing your christmas for me I am so...¨
¨wait, what they said I would be back for christmas!¨
¨oh darling, curing half the town won´t take one day!¨
¨h h h h half the t t t town!¨ I managed to stutter ¨no I I I want to go home right now!¨
¨there is no turning back!¨ she cackled. At that moment I thought I might throw up, the kind looking snowman melted and under that snow was a demo…
¨AHHHHHHHHHHHH¨ I yelled as I sat upright in my bed… wait what! in my bed? This was all a dream! ¨Merry christmas aria!¨ my family yelled and I ran downstairs singing ¨tis the season to be jolly!¨

I am 11
Paragraph 1
I think the director chose eleven year old's because they are at the age where they have a good sense of humor and can have a big ol laugh at anything! Also because that’s the age where you are funny and you don’t even know you are being funny ( a dry sense of humor ) ! It’s also an age where you are gaining confidence so you won't be camera shy!
Paragraph 2
I think that we must all have something in common. I mean we all eat and drink so I guess that’s two things!but yet again everyone is unique and has their own differences good or bad.I think something I have in common with people all around the world is that I like to have a big ol laugh!

I AM POEM
I Am Skye

I am a gymnastics and cheerleading enthusiast,
I wonder what it's like in America
I hear the sound of an applause when I enter the olympic stadium,
I see the crowd biting their nails as I dive for the bar,
I want to be an olympic gymnast,
I am a gymnastics and cheerleading enthusiast,
I pretend I am shouting at the top of my lungs saying 5,6,7,8 and,
I feel adrenalin rushing through my body as I attempt a back handspring,
I touch the sky as I fly high in extension,
I worry I might fall from such a height,
I cry when I fall on a stunt,
I am a gymnastics and cheer enthusiast,
I understand I might not be an olympic gymnast but I still try,
I say anyone can be anything,
I dream about winning that gold medal,
I try to be the best gymnast in my class,
I hope one day my name will be famous for my gymnastics and cheer,
I am a gymnastics and cheer enthusiast!

why is it important to be safe online?
Well why is it important to be safe online ? i think its important to be safe online because if you give away important or personal information then you are putting you and your family in danger. It is also important to be safe online or you may open spam e-mails or go on inappropriate sites that although are easy to erase from your device may not be so easy to erase from your mind. What do you think being safe online is?
