As always this year just before we had winter break we had blue sky and this year the grade nine theme was…. Harry Potter!

So for my project I chose to research birds because they are very smart and have interested me for a long time, so to be able to tie that in with Harry Potter was great. And that question that I came up with was if it weren’t an owl that was the bird messenger what would be the next best bird? Through my research I then found that there were multiple birds that would be great but found that there was one that would be amazing… The raven since it is both intelligent and the perfect size, for example they can use tools if need be and recognize peoples faces.

But not only is blue sky my own presentation but showing it in an interesting way. So with my group who included Mimi, Angela, Kyle, Ryan, James, and Sam. And as we were basing our projects on Harry Potter we set are area up as the forbidden forest. That meant putting on the first movie on a big projector, spooky Harry Potter music and decorating the library with plants and everything green. We also strung lights across the ceiling as we had all the lights off and people need to see our projects and not trip over things. But things dont end there we also had food and drinks that we made and those were dragons blood(sprite and green food colouring) and tree rice crispies.

Overall I really did love learning about the birds and finding out how to work as a group to create a forbidden forest. And so thats all, bye for now!
