LI: To celebrate our success
Last week, PBS held a special event called the Summer Learning Journey celebration assembly. During this event, Mrs. Grant came and handed out certificates and prizes to everyone who took part. My certificate was just for showing up and participating in the activities. The Summer Learning Journey was really fun because it kept me busy and entertained during the holidays. I didn’t spend all my time feeling bored, and I still learned new things while I was out of school.
My favorite activity was called “Legs Legs Legs – Step It Up.” For this challenge, I made 2 pretend legs for a dog named Turbo. Turbo was born without two of his front legs, so I designed the 2 fake legs to help him move better. It was a fun project because I got to think about how to help an animal that needs some extra help.
In addition to the 2 fake legs, I also created some other ideas to help Turbo live a better life. One of these was the “Snack Dispenser 5000.” It’s a machine I designed that automatically gives Turbo treats whenever he wants one. That way, Turbo can stay happy and well-fed without someone having to remember to give him snacks all the time.
I also thought about making an “Auto-Cooling System.” This was a device I imagined that would keep Turbo cool and comfortable, especially on hot days. It would help him not to get too warm or tired when the weather is hot.
Another idea I had was called the “Turbo Booster.” It’s a gadget that gives Turbo a quick push or a boost, helping him move faster or get from one place to another more easily.
Overall, the activities I did during the Summer Learning Journey were really interesting. I learned how to come up with creative solutions to help animals like Turbo, and I had a lot of fun building and imagining new devices. It was a great way to spend the holidays, combining learning with fun hands on projects.
