Your post needs to:
-Explain why you choose your particular instructions and where you got them from.
-Give the instructions.
-Have a photo of your finished product (and can include step by step photos if you can manage it).
-Summarise how you found everything - were the instructions hard to understand?  Did your finished product turn out as you had hoped?

 I chose to do origami because I really enjoy making crafts and things out of paper etc. I especially enjoy making origami because of how successful our AUAHA3 origami presentation was, I was astonished at why we didn't get in first place.?o.o

Here are the instructions...CLICK FOR INSTRUCTIONS:)  This is a good origami website, you can have 'moving' (animated) instructions or the 'step-by-step' reading instructions:)

 PICTURES :D








My finished product turned out as I planned it to:) The instructions were good and easy to understand because  the steps were visual and you can, pause, fastforward, slowdown, stop, or start the tutorial again if need:)

:D 2 commendations for VENUS:D

It was 12 o'clock exactly and that was when I planned to meet my best friend Jeff Wiggle (He particularly liked the colour purple and he could never stay awake). He was running late because he said he had to help to be a seeing person for blind dogs. I was anxious to tell him something, I've been holding it in for a while but i'm sick of keeping it from Jeff.

He walked up the stairs ten minutes late, but oh well, as long as he was here to meet me. We grabbed something to eat and started to conversate about the concert about to happen in four hours. I was ready to tell him about my secret until his phone started to ring... After his quick talk over the phone he said he had to hurry home to read books to the elderly possums in Canada. I was confused, i thoght that he may also be keeping something from me too, i mean like... today was saturday but he usually did that on a midnight-friday. It was very strange.

He quickly arranged to meet up in three hours and ran off. Now I was stuck by myself still with my untold secret at a shopping mall food court... living the dream. Hours went by until it was two oclock when he arrived. The concert was in an hour so I needed to tell him right away. I destroyed his phone without him knowing somehow and started to speak. I stuttered and just decided to pull off my brown-haired wig. He looked shocked, I told him about how my name was not ciley myrus it was actually mannah hontanna.

I felt better and sighed in relief. He just stood there... He then started to smile, then giggle, then laugh. I was puzzled, he quickly spoke saying that my name was horrible and that he knew all along. WIERD. But true I guess, the wig fell alot while I was around him earlier and yesterday and the day before...  Jeff's smile then turned into a concerned look, I asked him what was wrong and his response was, "during all my spare time I don't do all the stuff you think I do..." SHOCK! "What I really do is,... catch up on my English homework, which is TWICE AS HARD as the things you think I do!" "I mean," he continued, "It's there every single week, dude I HAVE NO INTERNET, so instead I do it on paper until my friend says you have to add a link........ HOW DO YOU DO THAT ON PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "So now I do it on school internet. THE END:)"

I was surprised,  how can that be? Poor Jeff. Oh well. THE CONCERT!! I panicked, I forgot all about it. That concert was my concert, I am supposed to perform as Ciley Myrus TONIGHT! OH GOSH! I then asked Jeff for a ride to the concert, we traveled in the Big Red Car of-course all the way to the concert.

I performed well and I was happy. THE END.  :D

MY HOLIDAYS

The first week of my holidays were mainly spent preparing for the next week. We made sure we packed all that we needed for week inside the suitcases, and the rest went into our carry-on luggage. I was fully excited, ready to fly to Gore, in the South Island to help with a holiday programme.

I have never been on an aeroplane before and that was my first time, it was awesome! When we arrived in Dunedin airport, we drove straight to Gore, that took us a few hours so most people (not me,) slept on the way.

We helped out with the holiday programme and we explored most of the south Island. In our spare time we also did some fun activities, such as; quadbike riding, Shooting (shotguns and air rifles), boat cruises, tramping, going to the beach, penguin watching, farming (kind of...), etc.

Overall, the trip was a great experience and we are hoping to go back down to Gore next year:D!!!
