The Bread Magician

French teacher Dad and I have been translating French podcasts on Duolingo. The one we are translating is called The Bread Magician and it is about a baking competition in Paris, however I think that Mum's Apple cake is better.

Ou en francais, je pense que le gâteau de ma mère est le meilleur.

Knitting

Image
 Over the past few weeks I have been working on a hand knitted tank top for me to wear and a few days ago, I finally finished it.  As I was working without a pattern I guessed on how wide it needed to be by measuring  my stitches to a t-shirt, which came out to about 60 stitches. A friend kindly gave me some stitch counters so I used those to mark every 10 stitches. This is important later for forming the V-neck and it helps you with dropped stitches.  I started knitting the front half first and tried a new stitch (ribbing 2x2) for the edges of the tank top so it wouldn't curl up as stockinette stitch often does.

Science with Sweets

Today we have had some fun with glacier fruits and made some stained glass biscuits and attempted to blow bulbs like proffessional glass blowers. We followed a biscuit dough recipe and cut out our shapes and filled them with crushed glacier fruits, and with the left over sweets we tried to create blown glass spheres. After seeing The King Of Random's video (insert link here) on blowing jolly ranchers, an American sweet similiar to glacier mints/fruits, we melted our sweets and wrapped the now melted sweets around our reuseable straws. We were not very successful since we kept on bursting but we could see how the experiment would have worked with more practice.  I have been looking at bonds in science and was wondering how the bonds in sugar. So we found a Candy making website to see how candy is made and the different bonds. The bonds between the molecules in sucrose (what sugar is made up of) are covalent bonds, which means the two atoms share one electron. Shown by this diagram: ...

Elective Home Education Competition

Image
Post Card Competition  In March I participated in a Post Card competition and won my design to be put on post cards. I made it around my experience with home education: The globe with the star is the logo of my Education Centre Epic Quest and the text at the bottom in Spanish is their moto "Learn to Love to Learn". The Keyboard shows my musical learning as I play the Piano along with a few other instruments. The papers between the globe and keyboard are my art work and the pieces of work I am most proud of.  Finally the green owl at the top of the world and the text in Spanish shows my work with languages, I use the Duolingo App to study Spanish and French and the text reads "Learning looks different to everyone" to express the individuality of learning.
