Today I am going to show you what I have been making in the last 2 months since I arrived here. In Chengdu there is a lot of packaging on everything (even worse than Brighton) so I collect it and use it to make things. The people who live in my city are our friends called the Townend Family - we stayed with them just before we came to Chengdu, and Emma (my friend) gave me a play mobile Townend Family.
Next week I will make a stop motion animation using the city and family.
I hope to upload it to the blog soon.

This is the whole of my city done. Soon I will make lots more things and I will show you them when I can.
I love all your models Anna - what stop motion software are you going to use to make your film? We had fun making our olympic films in the summer didn't we. I'm pleased to see you developing your skills now you are in China.

Hello Tracey,
DeleteIt's lovely to hear from you.
My stop motion software is Imovie which is on our computer
it's very very easy. I estimate that it is going to be on my blog in a week or two.
I have grown my seed crystal and I think your copper sulphate crystal was blue but you can add food colouring to make it other colours.
Good luck to Mary for her baby.
Love Anna
I'm looking forward to seeing your movie when you finish it - I will show Woodpeckers.
DeleteWell done - you are right about our crystal being blue.
hi Anna will this work?
ReplyDeleteHello Lizzie and Nobeel
DeleteYou are now a follower and I have been baking - cookies, banana cake, pizza and bread. I don't mind if Nobeel is a follower so if he wants to he can.
lots of love Anna
Hi Anna i have finally been able to follow your blog. I have been trying for a few days but it would not let me. Maybe i was doing something wrong.
ReplyDeleteI see you have been having lots of fun making expensive looking crystals and models. I hope you are fitting in your Numeracy and Literacy classes as well! What happened to the baking classes? I want to see what tasty looking bits of food you have baked.
I will write again soon. Nobeel is looking over my shoulder at your blog as I type this. He wants to follow it too. Should be let him??
Love, Lizzie... And Nobeel... And Ruby and Roger the Kittypups x
