Snow

On Wednesday it was snowing so school was shut. I went outside to have a snow fight. After that me and my sister walked  up my ramp, we slipped as soon as we got up there. Then I played with my dog and I threw  up a snow ball and my dog jumped up and ate it.

Ballista

Part of my school learning challenge I made a Ballista.  The real ones could fire 500 yards.  Mine can fire 40 metres.  Here are the pictures of me building it.
