Term 3 Technology

Yesterday, on Thursday 23rd July, we returned to our third term of Manual at Lincoln Primary. This term I am in Textiles and my teacher is Mrs Paterson. As it was the first day in Textiles we just made a little pillow or a bag tag. I made a small pillow with a heart in the middle. I found out that hand stitching isn't as hard as I thought it would be. 
I also need some ideas for what to make this term please comment if you have any ideas. :)

Prompt : ...but it made my tongue tingle...

Today is the last day of summer holidays so I'm going to make the most of it. I’m going out with my best friend for ice cream and a walk along the beach, it’s a beautiful day. I set out to the ice cream shop with my friend, we talk all the way there. When we get there I get the new flavour; Sour Lemon. As we make our way toward the sandy beach I take a lick of my ice cream, but then it made my tongue tingle and feel furry. I cringed and accidentally dropped the ice cream.
