Today I started off doing some exercises on YouTube.  I was sweating. Then we did some maths and reading then mum and I made a den in the garden. We used the parasol, my duvet and blanket. It was nice sitting inside it before the rain came down and the thunder was really loud. It scared me abit.

I also saved a honey bees life. I gave it some sugary water hen it flew away.

We also have a mouse that lives in our garden. He comes out to get the seed and bread from the bird table. He is so cute and you can get close to him.

Tomorrow we are going to Ae forest to make another den and see what we can find.

Tonight me and my family and my dads girlfriend’s family played bingo on zoom. We were playing but we didn’t get the first line or the second line either so we needed to get the full box. Me and my dad were down to our last number when my dads number got called. He was so happy. He won one hundred pounds. After bingo I went to go watch a program. My dad phoned his mum and dad. Hope you enjoyed my blog bye. By Orla.

Hello folks how are you all?

For my artists around the world task l chose to learn about… Hayo Miyazaki! Here are some facts about him.

• He is a Japanese manga artist.

• He is also an animator, filmmaker and co founder of Studio Ghibli.

• He is 79 but he is still working/ drawing!

• He made at least 38 movies!
• Every film he has made contains a flying scene because of his love for airplanes.
• He traveled a lot when he was a child and that is what inspired his artwork.

Here is my picture of Princess Mononoke in his style.

Today l made a map of my garden with my daddy and sister. It was great fun but a little bit hard to start with. The most interesting part of the task was learning how to draw an accurate map from our rough measurements. Here is the finished result…

Until next time…

 

 

 

Hi everyone!

Today I learned about mapping. I did this by mapping my garden. I learned about measuring distances I also learned about:

• scale
• orientation
• reference points
• perimeter
• area
• grids

Daddy helped with my grid, but here is my finished map.What do you think?

 

Hi,

Yesterday I did some of my maths and reading then we went on our bikes around Dock Park but we didnt go into the play bit as we are not allowed because of the coronovirus. I can’t wait until they open again.

Today we made our own campfire. We got an old pot, got some cotton wool and covered it in vaseline then added small sticks. I lit it with a lighter. I was very careful. I remembered that u kneel down on one knee and keep your distance from the fire as it’s very hot! We got marshmallows and toasted them then squashed them in a biscuit. It was yummy.

After that we checked by plants to see how they are growing. Look at the difference. I think the radish pot that is getting sun and water looks the best.

I was so hot mum filled the paddling pool up so I could cool down. I wish one of my friends  could come and  play with me in the pool. I cant wait until this virus is away!!
