When I’m not working, I’ve been trying to get better with watercolourpainting. It’s been hard but I’m not giving up! (Even when the cats sit on them!)

I was working in school last week and J in DF made this! He made a boat and fish using origami and he used a YouTube video to show him how to draw a shark! He had some great fun and he made us loads of origami animals. It could be a fun project for you at home!

I tried learning something new! I had a go at knitting a blanket. I got near to the end and realized I had done it all wrong (oops)! So I unraveled it and did it again! It looked much better. I’ve enjoyed learning a new skill.
