Month: April 2020

On April fools day I put salt on Nathan’s chips. Then I took a picture saying April fools on it and put it in mum’s room for her to find. She did. There was 2 or  3 more April fools day  things I did.

Hi Rhona is back i’m just blogging because I have noticed there have been a lot of birds in my garden recently like:

Robins, Great tits, Blue tits, Sparrows tree and house ones, Tree creepers, Starlings, Green Finches, Wood Peckers, Siskins, Redpolls, Blackbirds, Wood pigeons, Wrens, Collared doves, Pheasants, SEAGULLS! I know and we are in the country! I don’t like seagulls! None of them have come to the bird feeders recently so that’s lucky, Crows, Chaffinches, Dunnocks, Long tailed tits. And Coal tits.

sometimes in the summer we get house sparrows and in 2018 a house sparrows nest fell down and the chicks fell down off of the house and there was only one survivor sadly :(. We kept it and called it sam because we didn’t know if it was male or female. We fed sam and took care of him until he went to the wild life hospital. Here are 2 pictures of him.

 

 

 

We put all the boxes on top of a table. It reached from the floor to the ceiling then we made a family tower

Last Thursday we did outdoor learning.

in outdoor learning our mum let us get the fire pit out so we could light a fire . We collected dry wood around  the garden but mum was scared when we lit it.

Hello, I am back again! hope you are happy to see me…so yesterday NWCC handed out grow your own flowers/ veg. I took 3 small pots, basically it has a little pallet in a small pot. you add water to the pallet it then absorbs the water so then it grows! oh yes it also comes with seeds. you then add the soil into the pot half way then add the seeds. then fill it up all the way. take the tag that comes with it. then you are finished! (you can get these at M&S) the best place to put them when you are done is a window sill. water them and then wait!

thank you for reading, see you later 😀

P.S I am still finding facts about Russia!

INGREDIENTS

• 110g self-raising flour
• 1 slightly rounded teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 50g block butter, at room temperature
• 50g (or 2 tablespoons) golden syrup

METHOD

Pre-heat your oven to 190C, gas mark 5 (I have a fan oven so I set mine at 160C).

Sift the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda together into a mixing bowl, add the sugar, then lightly rub in the butter till crumbly.

Add the syrup and mix everything to a stiff paste.  Divide the mixture into quarters, as evenly sized as possible, then each quarter into four (you should have 16) and roll the pieces into little balls.

 

 

 

 

 

Place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between them because they spread.  Flatten them slightly and bake for about 10 minutes.

 

 

Take out of the oven and allow to cool a little before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.  Store in an airtight container – mine never last long because my kids love them.

Big Thursday 2nd April

We’ve put together a Big Thursday schedule which you might choose to use today.
Have fun!

Okay, just to clarify, I like alliterations. The adjective is alliteration, NOT an adjective about my day! Today is was odd, this morning was maths, spelling and reading, but in the afternoon, nature and Spanish, I felt a bit off. I think it was because Tanith kept poking me in my leg with her pencil. 😡 In nature, we were researching garden birds with the link Miss Brockie-Donald gave us. In Spanish, we counted up to 20, drew the Spanish flag and researched the  flamenco – you will not find me in one of those frilly dresses!! 💃
