USA Video Diary: Day Three

What do humpback whales, gigantic cheesecakes and green monsters all have in common?  They’re all things the Jelly Friends have seen today as they’ve been exploring the city of Boston and its surrounding coastline!  Check out today’s adventure below…

Building our new Jelly Friends!

This evening we built out LEGO Jellyfish for the competition which will decorate our pit area.  These will be really fun because other teams can come over and decorate them with LEGO and hopefully by the end of the competition they’ll look amazing!

Having a Ball at Fenway

This afternoon we explored the iconic Fenway Park baseball stadium and had a private tour behind the scenes.  We saw some of the most expensive seats in the stadium and learnt about its interesting history and some secret facts about the ballpark.  We were even allowed to sit in the fancy media box to see what the press get to see during a game.

Humpback Whales at 2 O’Clock!

It was very cool to experience seeing the whales in their natural habitats.  We saw humpback whales feeding and diving under water.

When the dolphins swam right past me I couldn’t believe my eyes, they came so close. – Bella

USA Video Diary: Day Two

What a busy day! Fighting the jet lag the Jellies had three fun experiences today to make the most of their time in Boston.  

We started with a creative art workshop at the Apple Store before heading to a fascinating walking tour of Boston.  We then finished up at the MIT Museum to see all of the incredible technologies and advancements from the world famous university.  

Join them on their adventures in today’s video diary…

Exploring the History of Boston

“This afternoon we went around Boston with a tour guide who was dressed up a bit like a pirate (but I think we was meant to be one of the founding fathers!) and we explored lots of landmarks and buildings around the city.  It was very interesting!” – Evangeline

Drawing American Landmarks at the Apple Store

“We went to the Apple Store and learnt how to use Freeform – but we already knew how to do that because of our Innovation Project!  Luckily the main part of of our workshop was learning how to use Procreate to draw some pictures of American Landmarks” – Ezra

“The guy running the workshop was really fun and helped us a lot with our pictures – he was called Terrance” – Henry

Here are our creations!

USA Video Diary: Day One

After an incredibly early start and a long day of travelling, the Jelly Friends are safely in Boston!  Each day we’ll be sharing some highlights and reflections with a video diary, just like this…
