Today, I did the Step It Up version of making a flying thing using nature. It’s just like the kick start activity, but this time, I had to make a story about a day of it’s life to go with it. I made another flying thing with natural materials that can be recycled afterwards. Using food, I made a swan that is very tasty. This is my story of a day in life from the point of view of the swan and a picture of the swan.
Once there was a swan made of fruits and ice cream, and that was me. I had a banana neck, red cherry eyes, rice cracker feathers, ice cream body, pineapple beak and peach neck. I lived on a plate in a café.
There were children coming to see me. They stunned at the sight of the creation of me. “Wow! Look at that swan made of fruits and ice cream!” one child called. I held my model posture proudly, hoping to please them. In my view, they seem to be surprised by my beauty which is exactly what I wanted.
I felt lucky that these children have got here on time. If they came later, I wouldn’t be able to stand the heat from the sunlight, peering through the window. It’s very hard to stop my body from melting into mint chocolate.
Finally, the children graciously devoured me. I kept my proud posture as bite by bite, I was eaten. Tomorrow, a new new life cycle will start again.
Would you prefer to be the child, swan or the café manager that “makes” the swan?
