This week LS2 and LS1 came together and started working on an art a steampunk art. what is steampunk art? steampunk art is inspired by steam-powered machinery They got the punk because it's really punk and they got the steam from the 19th-century technology. Do you ever wonder how the women's or little girls wash there family's clothing? they did not have a washing machine, the tool that was used was washing board, a tub of boiling hot water and laundry soap. The women's & their daughters stayed at home while the men and boys went to work or school, the washing would take all day the woman had by boiling water in a tub over a wood or coal-fired, the fire which took a long time to boil, then with a washing board they had to a whole bar of laundry soap into the water. After that tub with a dolly stick to twist the clothing and squish out all the water to dry in the another other that is heated in a tub and dried.

art tech

Today was the last day of art tech and I fished my art and I had a lot of fun carving out and drawing. I put a lot of work into my artwork and it paid off in the end, the colors I used was first yellow and then I used green and then I used orange and then I used brown and brown was my last color and yellow was the first color that I used. I really like how artwork paid off and next time if I do this again I would take my time and I have to carve out a little bit deeper.

Camels explanation

Did you know that camels can go 30 days without water and drink up to 46 litres of water and camels have changed over time. Camels live in every hot area in Dubai where it is ever hot and sandy, it’s about 42० heat.

In Dubai where it’s sandy and hot and where it’s 42० you can’t find water so easily so camels have to eat cactus to get water from them to keep hydrated if you touch a cactus it will prick and hurt so camels have thick lips and they want feel the pricks. Camels eat cactus because there is not a lot of grass and plants in the desert and it mostly hot sands.

Camels can walk on hot sand because they have pads on their feets to protect them from the hot sand. In the hot sandy days how can the camels see through the sand? they have double eyelashes so the eyelash can keep the sand away from the eyes when they are walking through the sand.

How can camels percent their noses from the sand well the noses close up so the sand does not go up in there nostrils so they can go for a long time. Camels have humps on their back where they keep fat in it which they can use it as food in time they need to.

Camels can go a long time without food or water because they have humps on there back and inside they have fat which that is there food, they can go a long time without water because they eat cactus to get water from them to keep hydrated and they have thick lips to help them eat the cactus and camels have pads on there feets so they can walk through the sand and they have doubled eyelash to help the see through the sand.

This week Mrs Anderson's writing group was learning about camels and how they have changed over the time to live in the hot desist in Dubai. Did you know that camels can go 30 days without water in the most hottest area it is about 42० diggers and they can drink about 46 litres of water.
