Accuracy/Expanding Vocab: The Tree of 40 Fruit

Accuracy/Expanding Vocab: The Tree of 40 Fruit

*

Award-winning artist and professor, Sam Van Aken’s latest project has combined the beauty of art and the magic of science to create ‘The Tree of 40 fruit.’

The name of this amazing creation does not disappoint, with the tree producing 40 different varieties of peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries, and even almonds.

Sam’s creation is even more amazing due to the fact that some of the fruits are ancient and are varieties that are very hard to come by.

The tree itself is a stunning work of art, with crimson, pink, purple and white blooms.

Sam has placed 16 unique 40 fruit trees around the USA in museums, community centres and private art collections and visits each twice a year to prune and collect grafts for future trees.

It takes a total of 5 years for each tree to develop and then another 4 years for it to produce the 40 fruits.

Sam hopes his creation will teach people of all the different varieties of plums, apricots and peaches that were once available and perhaps raise question as to why there is such a small variety available in stores.

You have to admit…this is some yummy art!

The Puppy that Peed and Pooped on the Carpet.

This is a story I wrote in writing time! We read a story and it was that a kid did something bad and he got punished with a very harsh thing example: Milly was mean she kicked everyone! they hated it she got punished with her legs getting chopped off!

W.A.L.T: to entertain!

The Puppy that Peed and Pooped on the Carpet.

There was once a puppy, he was so naughty, he was as naughty as a cheeky monkey who eats your ice cream. Guess what he does… HE PEES AND POOPS ON THE CARPET!!!!  

Oh and by the way he has a doggy door and it is always unlocked as well as a doggy litter tray. He is a little spoilt brat because he has everything that a puppy would ever want.  He is so spoilt he even does it when someone is watching and looks back at them and grins.

His owners felt so annoyed as they had to keep cleaning up after him. He also rips up the carpet in the house, he chews the owners shoes, he barks at them when he doesn’t get his way and he wakes them up at 1am every morning because he is hungry.

If there is one thing that the puppy hates, it is getting wet! His owners have never given him a bath. Everytime they try to give him a bath, he bites their hand.

His owners were getting fed up with the puppy. They decided to take action!

They told the puppy if you do naughty things, we will punish you! If you pee and poop on the carpet, we will tie you down and do that to you.

The puppy was very stubborn, as stubborn as a donkey! He didnt listen to his owners advice. He kept doing his business on the carpet.

His owners said “Right, grab that naughty puppy, its time for his punishment”

Here is his punnishment…

And he learnt his lesson!

He turned into a good puppy and a cute puppy inside and out!
