The BFG- Big Friendly Giant

2.11.19

Today My topic was based on the Bfg, which I choose of a website called Summer Learning Journey. I had to write a piece of writing about what the BFG smells like, sounds like and looks like.

The BFG is known for the big friendly Giant. Everyday he wears the same old scruffy clothes, with a short non sleeved brown leather jacket. He has Grey spiky hair that points upwards. His voice sounds old and rugged. The BFG is very tall with a huge extraordinary personality. The BFG probably has a strong stinky smell, but i'm guessing he doesn't care. He has a kind loving heart and is willing to help the poor little girl sophie. It sure would be amazing tomet a BFG!

The Dove and the Ant


When  I was watching the video of the poem It showed a two creatures, an Ant and a Dove. The ant was stranded on something in the stream, the Dove flew down with some grass and saved the little ant. The dove shows true kindness. The went up to the tree and a man came a,ong with a slingshot he wanted to hit the poor dove. The Ant stuck up for the dove and stung the man on the foot. The ant stuck up for the dove and saved the dove.

This poem showed Love and courage.

The Great Outdoors Logo



In the time of making our logo, we came across a few ups and downs. While drawing our logo we figured out we had a few problems. Specifically, we had a problem drawing the tent onto our bandanas, as our material had holes in it which lead us to a strong struggle. Working on our banner went really well. We finished painting write on time and our end result looked fantastic. But in the end of drawing and painting our logos, it all ended on a high note and the presentationn looked really nice.
