Hi everybody

Today I am going to do a post about yesterday because so here goes. Yesterday I did my own sports event, my one was the great carrot eating race were you have to eat a carrot stick the fastest. The best bit about it was my dog beans could join in because she loves carrot its her favourite treat I’ll say no more don’t want to spoil the video.

Hi Everyone

(some of) THE TADPOLES HAVE LEGS!!! I was feeding last night and my dad saw a few of them had front legs, finally after 11 weeks they have legs. Here is some pictures.

Today for sports week I have designed a sports teams uniform here is some pictures.

I have also done the getting changed challenge here is a video as well. my time was 21.3 seconds (sorry mum was too quick to move the camera off the time) – can you beat me?

I have finished reading my book ‘Catching Fire’ and I really enjoyed it. But before I read the next book in the Hunger games series ‘Mocking Jay’ I am going read the book ‘Time Traveling With My Hamster’, I’ve read 10 chapters all ready! it’s really good so far so thanks for lending it to me, Miss Dale. In fact Miss Dale it is so good that my Nanny is going read it too so we can have a family book club.

hope you all are ok bye

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I did a poster about Japan’s wildlife. I researched some facts about my favourite Japanese animals then I drew them and put it together in one big poster. Here’s a picture.

Today I made a special Japanese headband called a Hachimaki which is supposed to help you focus and have physical and spiritual strength. It is also worn in the Summer festival called Natsu-Matsuri in Japan. I did some Japanese writing on it and some drawings. Here’s a picture of me modelling my headband ( I have been wearing it all day).                                                                                                      The writing on the band says Genki which means work hard.

Today I also learnt some words in Japanese here is what I learnt:

• Hello – konichiwa, 
• Good bye – Sayōnara
• My name is – Watashinonamaeha
• Thank you – Arigatau
• Please – Onegaishimasu
• Friends – Furenzu

Sayōnara Furenzu

 

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I had home made sushi for dinner me, my mum and my dad made it together. My mum is vegetarian so we didn’t have fish in ours. It was lovely we made a special Japanese sweet omelette (Tamagoyaki) to go in it and fried tofu and fresh vegetable. We had to use special Japanese short grain rice that is really sticky but it tasted nice. We also had to wrap the rice in special Nori seaweed.  really nice but it was really salty.

 

Hi Everyone

This week I have been carrying on Miss Dales theme of adventure and exploration with my mum – with ‘Japan week!’. For Japan week I am going too learn about Japanese culture, cook some Japanese food, learn some Japanese language, and some Japanese history (and of curse because it is me do some Japanese inspired art).

Today for Japanese week I have done some research on places I would like see in Japan. Then I marked them on a map it was really fun.

 

My favourite place I found was Yamanouchi National Park were you could watch the Japanese Macaque Monkeys – more commonly known as ‘Snow Monkeys’ bathing in hot springs. Heres a picture. – I think they are very cute or in Japanese – Kawaii!

Later I am going to do some Japanese cooking and after school time I am going to watch some Japanese movies like ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ and ‘Kubo and the Two strings’. – has anyone got a favourite Japanese movie I could watch?

Hi again

Today, I also went on the best walk ever with my mum and my dog. There was a beautiful river with a water fall and an island in the middle. Then we took was a  lovely path through some woods and meadows with lots of flowers (including some wild garlic that we picked to make pesto for tea).

It was great. Here is some pictures of the walk.
