Arts & Crafts 4, Tuesday Afternoon, A Classroom

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve looked slightly embarrassed as he stood before the students today, a sheaf of papers in hand. "My original plan for today fell through, so we're going to do something different. You're going to make paper airplanes. Um. With David Hasselhoff's face on them. I'm not sure why." He began handing out the papers. "So, have fun with that, try not to put an eye out, and if you get bored, I also have coloring books and crayons. That should be fun. Right?" he asked hopefully. "Right."

Potpourri - Tuesday, June 5th

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Buster looked ridiculously excited today. Seeing him this excited might be mildly terrifying. And he was wearing his hook so the excitement might lead to some accidental stabbings. He had a board with a giant map of California behind him that looked like it had been stabbed numerous times while Buster was trying to put it up.

"Okay guys, today we're going to learn about Cartography!" he said once everyone had arrived. "Cartography is the study of maps. I'm sure everyone has seen a map in one form or another so I'm not going to explain what one is. You might wonder why anyone would study Cartography in this day in age...well...I can't tell you. I, um, just needed more credits in college and sort of just stumbled into it."

Tuesday, June 5th - Period 3 - Advanced Beginner's Guide to watching the Jerries be crazy

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

This week, the Activities Area was set up differently. There were easels set in a circle around the room. In the center was a mattress with a few pillows on it.

"Welcome!" cried one Jerry.

"Welcome, tax accountants and Frisbee Olympic stars!"

"We have no bowling shoes for you this week!"

"No! Because this week, we feel it is time that we get serious about our art."

Both Jerries nodded solemnly. "But only if you are mature enough to handle it, Jerry! There will be no childish giggling in here! Or we shall send you right out!"

"There will be no rotary chickens here! For this week, we are sketching ..."

( THE NUDE! )

(Wait for the OCD, or the Jerries will release the sardines. The OCD is up, but I can't make any promises about the sardines...)

Library - 6/5

Armed with her coffee, Isabel opened the library on time.

Construction Site [Tuesday - All Day]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

There's actually some visible progress on the reconstruction of the school this morning. Nothing major but it doesn't just look like a pile of rubble with dirt surrounding it. There are hard hats, goggles, and tool belts ready when the students approach the work site today.

Fraser's shading his eyes against the sun, still smiling.

"Welcome back," he said, nodding. "Nothing much new to report. We're still working, still progressing. It's going to be a hot one today so remember to keep hydrated and take breaks when you need to."

He motioned behind him and said, "All right then. Let's go to it."

How to Blow Things Up: Period 2 Week 4

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly had oh so handwavily asked her students to meet her at the main campfire.  When then students arrived, they'd see an assortment of devices that looked a lot like bombs running the gamut from the type of bomb you'd see in the movies to less sophisticated devices. 

She waited for everyone to arrive then started speaking.  "The last few classes, we've talked about how to blow things up.  Which is, admittedly, a lot of fun and also what the class is about.  Today, however, we're going to talk about what happens when you don't want the bomb to go off.  Disabling explosives is a hugely dangerous task, and in general, it's something you want to call in an expert to deal with."  She grinned.  "But I think we all know that when you need an expert, he or she is usually not around.  So today we - and by we, I mean you - are going to work on disarming explosive devices with not quite so many consequences if it's not done correctly."

Gesturing to the assortment of bombs,  she started discussing bomb disposal techniques including the use of a pigstick because that term is awesome and the ever-popular cutting of the correctly coloured wires.

"Now the trick here is that these devices aren't bombs.  But if they are disengaged incorrectly, they will explode."  She grinned.  "I hope you wore clothes that can get paint on them.  If not -" she pointed to a box "-there are some lovely and very fashionable smocks to put on."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Otherwise, pair up and have fun."

[OOC:  mouthy_mercwins for suggesting paint bombs.  More information on how this works in the OCD notes which are coming up]

Ninja-ing - Wednesday 1st period - Week 4

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

At the main campfire, Yondaime was no where to be seen. There was however a large box that seemed to be full of clothing. Next to the box was a pile of pouches just ignore that they say 'Naruto'. Several targets set up in the trees, straw dummies, a pile of swords and large folded blades.

After the class was mostly assembled. Yondaime jumped out of the tree wearing a black and white ANBU outfit with a long katana strapped to his back. He lifted the mask off his face and smiled. "Morning everyone! This week we're going to be going over the typical clothing use by the ninja in my home as well as standard issue equipment. What I'm wearing currently is a typical ANBU outfit. ANBU are like the black ops of ninja, while my everyday outfit is what most ninja wear, with a few slight variants and every ninja in my world wear some kind of forehead protector as a symbol of the village you come from. For this week, work with a partner or on your own to put together outfits."

Yondaime paused and pulled the sword from his back and smirked. "The second part of today's class, is the equipment. I've made a pouch for each of you that has the standard issued weapons for the ninja in my village. Test them out, with the targets I've provided, along with the swords and the giant shuriken," he explained and nodded to the folded blade weapon. "Please, be very careful, as I've stated before I don't want anyone hurt, and no one wants to be healed up by Kabuto."
