What if?

What if?
All houses and buildings were made of candy
We would always have to rebuild them because people would eat them
If it got to hot all the candy would melt and the buildings would be no more

Sci-Fi Monster " Uno"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>______Elli's Version_____<<<<<<<<<<<<

>>>>>>>>>>>>______Sean's Version______<<<<<<<<<<<<


My science fiction monster’s name is Uno because he only has one eye right in the center of his head. On top of his head there are two large horns. The horns are as red as tomatoes. There are also four miniature horns on the outside of the two larger horns. Uno’s head is as purple as a grape and is completely covered in fur. Uno’s mouth is small and round. His tongue is
completely covered in green acid. He has a tongue shaped like a snakes and is as yellow as the sun. His arms are bright orange. He has three fingers on each hand and they are webbed like frog feet. He has two curved triangle shaped wings. Each of them have three thin stripes of green going through them and is outlined in the same color green, then are blue the rest of the way through. The tail Uno has is like a dragons. It is dark blue and has green spikes along the top. Uno has two bright pink legs with dark brown splotches all over them. He only has three toes on each foot. That is what the picture of my monster Uno looks like.

Mexico!!

Guess what! I missed almost all the snow because I was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I was in Mexico for seven days. When i was there we went into town and did a few touristy things but we mainly stayed by the pool and were thinking about how cold it was at home. One of the things we did while we were in Mexico was my sister, my mom, my grandma and me, got to swim with dolphins. The dolphin we swam with was a girl and her name was Freeda. She is eleven years old. We got to swim out into the middle of the pool and wait for her to come to us then we had to grab onto her fin and she would pull us back to where the rest of the group was. We also got to "dance" with them, which you really just hold onto their front fins and shake your body (they do most of the dancing). The last thing we did was we all went and sat on the edge of the pool and watch them do all kinds of jumps and flips, oh and I forgot to mention that there are actually about eight dolphins. I also went on a buggie tour. We went and drove through part of Mexico's desert and we got to go to an old town that only forty people live in. The last thing we did was we went snorkeling. My family and I got onto a catamaran and took a trip to a nearby beach and we snorkeled for an hour. All the fish were really colorful, my favorite fish is a parrot fish the swim so cool they flap their fins like wings! Well after we got to the hotel from snorkeling we had to go home the next day. But my trip to Mexico was awesome!

Our Claymation

Wow what to say about our claymation? Well we did our claymation on Vasco Nunez De Balboa. I chose to do my project with Eva. This entry will tell you about our experience with this project.


My favorite part of the project was doing the computer editing and molding the clay. Eva did most of the picture taking. We both molded the clay people and other things. Eva was the one who made our boat. She made it out of card board paper and toothpicks. We had to put a clay piece behind it so it wouldn't fall over. After we used it for our second scene it's a good thing we didn't have to use it again because it got crushed in the bag we put it in. I liked putting all the pictures on the computer. Adding music and dialog was the best part of that. Eva didn't like using the computer it never agreed with her.

One of the most difficult things for me was taking pictures. Every time I took pictures for our scene at least three of the pictures was blurry. Sometimes the sun outside the window would also go behind a cloud and the lighting of the picture would change. Another difficult part of this project was making the boat. Eva eventually made the real boat but I attempted it first. My boat would not stand up for more than twenty seconds. The sails kept falling off, they were so flimsy. One of the hard parts (it wasn't that hard) was molding the clay. The only hard thing to make out of clay was the dog because every leg and the head had to have toothpicks through the middle. It was also the size of all the people.

The most important things I learned in this project were how to really use iMovie. Before we started this project I knew how to use iMovie because I did a project with it in sixth grade. When we started this project I had forgotten some of the things I knew in sixth grade. Throughout our whole project I did most of the computer work. So eventually I remembered most of the stuff about iMovie. Another thing I learned in this project was how to mold people and other things out of clay. Learning how to make people and boats and other things out of clay was a good thing to learn. It was difficult to figure out how to make them just right so they would stand and stay standing. After awhile you just know which way to bend the person to make it balance out. That is what I learned doing this project.

The Nutcracker

Every year I dance in the Nutcracker. This year is the sixteenth season of it. There are some other kids at this school that are in it to. This year my parts are a fairy, a maid, and a flower. My favorite part is being a fairy, beig a maid is'nt so bad you just have to do a lot of acting. The story of the Nutcracker is, there is a girl named Clara and on Christmas her family has a big party. As a preasant her uncle gives her a nutcracker. That night the nutcracker comes to life and he has to fight the rat king in Clara's house. He then takes her to a place where flowers come to life and faries are everywhere. Eventually though Clara had to return home. Thats the basic summary of the story theres actually a lot more to it. Every year it's not exactly the same we try to add something different every year.

My 13th Birthday Party

On my 13th Birthday my friend Taylor threw me a surprise birthday party. My mom just randomly suggested that we should go to the beach one day. I really didnt want to go I just wanted to sit on my butt and watch T.V.
Taylor had told me she would be in Oregon som birthday party was supposed to be next week. When we reached the beach and I saw all my friends there including Taylor I was really mad because I thought she had lied to me. But when they all said !SURPRISE! my brin didnt process fast enough so when Taylor took a picture " surprised " face it was more like a "What the heck is going on?" face. After I finally figured out what was going on, we all went and played in the water. After that, Connor, Zack and Cameron all got the slide at the park wet, and slid down on the floaty things (They crashed at the bottom) while the rest of us took pictures. Me, Taylor, and Amelia actually tried it. When it was over, all the girls came and spent the night at my house. It was the best birthday party i ever had.
