Make your own Weather Station

How do we forecast weather?

Is it fun for you to Play outside in heavy rain?

For most people, it isn’t. While you can’t avoid rain or a bad weather but you can be prepared for it.

So predicting weather in the future is really important. All sorts of people rely on weather forecasts - from emergency workers to farmers, sailors, pilots, and ordinary people planning the week ahead. But how DO weather forecasters know what will happen in the future? Scan and watch to know more...

Anyone who thinks sunshine is happiness, has never played football in the rain!

What Makes Glitter Sparkle?

Glitter is made up of thousands, even tens of thousands of tiny pieces of various materials! What types of materials? Some common glitter materials include copolymer plastics, aluminium foil, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides. These materials are usually produced in thin sheets that are painted with bright metallic or iridescent colours that reflect light. The sheets are then cut up into tiny pieces to make glitter that sparkles brightly when its many pieces reflect light in a colourful spectrum!

Modern Glitter has only been around for about 75 years or so. However, scientists have found cave paintings over 2,000 years old that include mica flakes that give the paintings a sparkly appearance.

You were born to Sparkle, the glitter is just to make someone else’s day!

Watch the Instruction Video on how to make Glitter Foil Art? https://youtu.be/TYbOzImvKzM Step 1: Removing the Stickers Start with removing the stickers off the printed board to decorate. Make sure you start with peeling off small portions of the stickers.

Step 2: Adding the Glitter Start by using one of the glitter tubes to colour the peeled off areas on the printed board. Sprinkle small quantity of glitter and spread it gently with your fingers. The glitter should stick to the peeled off areas. Use different colour glitters to decorate different parts of the printed board.

Step 3: Placing the Foil Using the transfer tool, peel off a big area to decorate. Take one of the foil sheets and place it over the peeled off area. Use your fingers to press the foil into the sticky area. Use the transfer tool to impress the foil onto the sticky area. Gently remove the foil sheet from the sticky area. This will leave a part of the foil sheet sticking to the peeled off area giving it a shiny appearance. Repeat steps 1,2 & 3 to complete.

Step 4: And it’s Ready Finish off your masterpiece by adding the rhinestones. Your very own foil & glitter Nebulous star is ready to shine.

Make your own mini Garden

What is a Succulent Plant?

Succulents are plants that store water. Derived from the Latin word “sucus”, which means juice or sap, these plants are often considered to be drought-resistant. This diverse group of plants is popular for the home gardener and generally don’t require a large amount of maintenance.

Succulents are usually characterized by thick, rubbery, or “fleshy” parts. However, there are many options and these plants come in an array of shapes, sizes, textures, and colours. Succulents are often noted for their exotic or unusual appearance.

I’ve always felt that having a garden is like having a good and loyal friend. - C.Z. Guest
