Hi guys ,
How is isolation going For you and your family bubbles?It’s pretty weird for me and my family, as we are big fans of getting out of the house and socialising with our friends And family.
We are also big fans of travelling and doing things most days.
This week my mum and dad set a challenge for me and my brother to complete.
The challenge was if we Could finish this 1000 piece puzzle in a week, we would get a reward, so my brother and I were pretty excited to accept the challenge. Trust me it wasn’t easy.
The first two days we managed to get the border and some of the big house done which didn’t seem to be too hard, so we were pretty confident that we could get it done a week.
On day 3 and 4, we started realising that it was going to get hard, so our mum helped us do some of it as she doesn’t have to go to work. We ended up finding pieces for the other house and started to build those.
On day 5 we got a lot done. We found all of the top and we still had 2 days to find all of the bottom.On day six we found everything else except one piece. We thought it was missing, but my dad just took it and hid it from us as a joke. It was pretty funny.
Now my dad is going to reward us with a surprise and we still don’t know what it is!!

Hi Matilda
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome thing to do with your brother! Puzzles are great for learning how to work together aren't they? I think everyone is finding it very hard during this lockdown. I am lucky because I live close to Hagley Park so at least I can go for a decent walk every day. I have been baking and cooking quite a lot and having lots of meetings on Google Meet with the teachers getting ready for the distance learning. I hope you enjoy working through all your learning tasks. Have you done yourself up a schedule yet? Mrs Pascoe
Hey Matilda, awesome work getting the puzzle finished! I'm looking forward to hearing what your surprise is. How many hours do you think you spent getting it finished? I have completed 6 1000 piece wasgij puzzles since lockdown started. I only have 1 left to go, so hopefully lockdown finishes soon! I hope you have enjoyed your first 2 days or term 2 online. Did you set yourself up with a timetable yesterday? I would love to see it! Caitlin :)
ReplyDeleteHi Matilda
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing a 1000 piece puzzle I could not have done that in a week you must have a lot of patients.
I love a good puzzle too Matilda! Have you ever heard of a Wasgij? It's a jigsaw puzzle where the only image you get is the opposite perspective to the image you have to build. It sounds a little confusing until you see one, and then it makes absolute sense. I highly suggest trying one!
ReplyDeleteWe've been trying to work on our gardening and cooking skills here while under lockdown. Yesterday, we made a delicious apple crumble with apples from the tree outside.
Keep up the blogging and let us know how things are going!
