Big Thursday!

Today I have cooked my lunch on my wood fired camping stove I made some roasted pumpkin and lentil soup and some toasted marshmellows. To start the fire I used a flint and steel. Today I also watered the plants and planted some peas so I got bit muddy.

Yesterday I watched a documentary on sharks in the Pacific Ocean near the Pitcairn Islands. I liked it and learnt some more about sharks from the show. After mummy and I researched the mutiny on the bounty after as Pitcairn island is where some of the mutineers set up home after they set the captain lose in a lifeboat. Today Mummy when to the supermarket to get some food and came home with a lego set for me, it os creator set I have made the shark  and crab so far.

Did you know that sharks have special sense? they have a ‘midline’ line that runs from there head to there trail along the line of dark skin and light skin it has lots of tiny hairs (called sila) that mean it can sense movements in the water. So I think the best thing to do when you are behind the shark is to stay really still….

Walk

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.

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. I’m on part where Ben finds out that granny has been stealing jewellery and money and hid it in her biscuit tin. I am really enjoying this book.  Esmae 🙂

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
