VALENTINES DAY!!!

It's that time of year again when hearts are a flutter, that time of year your crush signs your valentine with: 'I love you! -From your Secret Admirer' which means he's confessed his LOVE for you, that time of year when you don't get a Valentine but you get to steal the ones your parents got for eachother, that time of year when cupid is shooting arrows, that time of year.... Ok, I think we get the picture! It's all lovey-dovey!

Hearts are a Flutter!

Anyway, Valentine's Day to most younger children aged 7-13 is still just any old day. Am I right? But for those 14 and up, it can be a big deal to get a Valentine! It comes in a Love-heart card with

'To ____

Roses are red
Violets are blue
But one thing's for sure
I LOVE YOU!!!

-From your Secret Admirer'

With a Red rose, and best of all, CHOCOLATES!

But enough with that! How did you spend your Valentine's Day? Did you get something from a 'Secret Admirer?' Did you get nothing? Did you send something to someone? My Dad got me a rose when he was getting my Mum one, so that was nice! Please comment bellow what happened with YOU!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

How to make an Ancient Scroll

Making an Ancient Scroll for fun, or for class? Either way, I'll tell you how!

What you'll need:

2x Toilet Role Tubes
1x Used Tea-Bag
1x Piece of Paper
1. Draw what you want on the Paper.

2. When your finished, get the used Tea-Bag and rub the Tea-Bag on the Paper. It should get a little bit browner.

3. Scrunch your paper, then spread it out and wait to dry.

4. It should look ancient or old.

5. Attach the Tubes to both ends of the paper. You should be able to role your page up around the tubes, so it looks like a Scroll!

6: Congratulations, you've made a Scroll!!!

I hope your Scroll looks GREAT!!! :D
