Me mum dad and my brothers went for a walk today with our dog cassie. Our walk was nearly 2miles long. When we were out our walk we seen 21 rainbow pictures in people’s windows these were all different. When we got home me and mum made our own rainbow pictures to put on our living room window. When I had finished I played with the football with JJ this was really fun. We then had lunch outside.
Whittling 1
This is the fallen sycamore tree where I’m, currently, getting my wood for whittling. It is much easier to whittle with green (fresh) wood rather than old dried wood because it is much softer. However, you do have to be careful not to bring it into a warm, heated environment (i.e. inside) too soon as it can dry too quickly and crack.
This is the piece of wood I am using to make a spoon. As you can see, I have removed the bark and split the branch in half. There is a soft, pithy core in the middle of sycamore branches and this needs to be removed before you start whittling.
I have made a template from a piece of an old cereal packet. I drew around my branch piece and cut it out then I folded the card and drew half my spoon and cut that out – this is so that the spoon will be symmetrical.
Whittling
This is some of my whittling. I had hoped to do some whittling with some of you on Big Thursdays but now I’m going to have to show you on this blog.
This is the equipment I use. The banjo shaped thing is my seat, I have cut resistant gloves, some horse bandage to protect my thumb, a penknife, a small gouge and some sand paper.
Esmae’s blog
Today I have been doing my coronavirus poster I done a spelling test and I got 9 out of 10. I also did a maths test and got another 9 out of 10. I have been reading more of gangster granny.

Hi guys
Today I did the Joe Wicks workout. I will be doing the same things today. It feels like everyday repeats. My sister (Cameron) made a banana loaf.
Cameron also made little banana cupcakes as well because we had extra mixture. My mum is so greedy because she eats about half of the banana loaf.
I will put a recipe up tomorrow (Friday). By Orla
Music
This is kind of a Big Thursday related post…
Have any of you been listening to any good music this week?
I love listening to music and find that it puts me in a good mood!
Some of my favourite artists/bands are- Alicia Keys, Nile Rogers & Chic, Coldplay, Candi Staton, ABBA and the Greatest Showman soundtrack. ( I challenge you to Google them if you haven’t heard of them- you may find a new song that you love!)
What are your favourite bands, artists and songs at the moment? It would be great if you could share some of them. 🙂
