Making a Parachute

Making A Parachute

Today we researched, designed and made parachutes. We worked in buddies, and mine was Richelle. 

First, we research how to make a parachute out of paper, and then we searched how to make one out of plastic, or a plastic bag.

Next, we found out the proportions. Like how many bits and pieces we needed and stuff like that!
After a little bit of research (I mean a LOT!), we designed how we wanted it to look. When we had finally finished, we went outside to let our parachutes fly! One of them worked. The plastic one, and the paper one wasn't at all a success. After all, Richelle and I loved our ONE parachute.

Descriptive Paragraph About Fireworks

---

Did you know….

Did you know that each firework type has a specific name attached to it, based on the effect it produces when it goes off in the sky. Now, isn’t that fascinating?

Ever heard of peony, dahlia, and chrysanthemum? Yes, they are all names of flowers, but have you ever associated them with fireworks?

Fireworks, beautiful and bright. They are most oftenly lit up during the evening, so their astonishing colours will be more visible for people to admire. Everyone likes to see fireworks blowing up and colliding in the sky! Each firework has a unique name that describes how it will look like when set into the sky. There’s the wonderful Peony, the fascinating Willow, and loads more! My favourite firework is the diadem. Usually they come in more than just one fantastic colour! I like how the divergent tints go so well together, like they all work as a team to bring joy to people watching the fireworks. Fireworks are colourful, as well as magnificent, and that’s why people love them!
