Impressionist Painting
Clade Monet
In art we learned about Clade Monet. He was an impressionist artist and he liked painting a lot of water lilies. We made our own water lily pictures using water colours. First we got our art equipment ready and then we started experimenting with water colours. After two weeks of experimenting, we did a blue wash for the background of the water lilies and the week after that we stared painting our water lilies and bits of grass and reeds. The white didn’t show up but then I used real paint and the it showed up. I think I did a good job.

Wawel Dragon
We started the dragon story on Thursday. The dragon story is a legend tale from Poland. We were learning about Poland. Here is my version of the story.
How The Legend of the Wawel Dragon Ended
The Wawel dragon was orange and fierce. The dragon scared the people in the country of Poland. Krak was trying to scare the dragon. Krak was giving the dragon a sheep filled with meat. Then the dragon ate the sheep. There was poison in the sheep which made the dragon sick. So he went to a pond and drunk the water in the pond. Then the dragon tried to breath fire but the only thing that came out his mouth was smoke and died. Than everyone cheered because they didn’t like the dragon so they were happy he was gone.

Making Polish Lunch
On Friday we made golabki and strawberry pierogi. Golabki is cabbage wrapped up with meat, (herbs parsley, marjoram) and onions and a little bit of pepper. Strawberry pierogi are strawberries wrapped up with pastry mix. First we cut the cabbage but we had help for that from an adult. We finely chopped onions then we put it into 2 bowls to make more mixture. Honor and Rosie got the meat and put half of the meat in each bowl. We put the parsley and marjoram in the bowls then we beat and cracked the eggs. When the cabbages were ready from cooking in the oven, we pulled the cabbage leaves carefully off so the leaves didn’t snap. Then we put the mince mixture in the cabbage leaves and wrapped the mince in the leaves like a parcel then we put them in the oven.
The strawberry pierogi is very easy to make. You get warm water and get pasta flour in a bowl and mix it together and you knead it and keep putting in more warm water. Then you roll the mixture to make it thin and you cut the strawberries in half and quarters. You then get a circle cutter to cut circles out of the pastry then you put the strawberries in the middle and pinch it around the edges. Then the pastry goes in the oven.
I enjoyed baking the golabki and the strawberry pierogi.

Cooking Polish Food
Today we cooked Polish Food Karolina came in to teach us how to cook Polish food. We washed our hands. We got the ingredient. We the bowls and things that we needed first. Then we got the meat packed open. We split it up so they are two bits of meat that needs to go in the bowl. Then we put some pepper parsley and onions over the meat. We put half a tea spoon of herbs and spices. We mixed it together. Then we got cabbage and we tared the leaves off. We had to make sure that they were no leaves tared because the meat would not go in the leave. Then we put the meat in the leaves and we wrapped it up and we put it in a tray. Then we made the pudding. It was strawberries with pastry around it. We took the leaves of the strawberries. Then we cut them up into small bits. Then we made the pastry. We cut holes in the pastry. Then we wrapped the pastry around the strawberries. Then we put it on the plate to cook. Then we served the cabbage with tomato sauce.

Polish Dishes
on Friday we were doing Polish cooking with Karolina. She came in and we made a main course and a pudding. The main course was mince, rice, onions, parsley, marjoram and pepper and it was in a cabbage shell. We had to boil the rice first and the cabbages (2). We then had to peel the onions and chop them and some of us cried! We had the little ones peeling and the older ones chopping. We put the mince in and after that we put in the herbs and we then mixed it together.We split the rice in half and then put it the mixture. When the cabbage was done we picked the leaves off and put a big spoon full of the mixture inside and wrapped it up and put it in the oven.
We made a pudding that was pastry with strawberries inside. We made the pastry by putting pasta flour in a bowl then getting boiling water and then we put butter in it and mixed it until the butter had melted then we put it in the bowl with the flour. We then needed it and made it quite wet and we then rolled it our and cut them into circles with cookie cutters. We next put half a strawberry inside and wrapped the strawberry in the pastry.
When the meal was ready Karolina worked with it and served it. It tasted very different to the food we have here!

Morning Run
As soon as we get to school we get ready to run outside. We have to run for 5 minuets mostly every day. When we run Miss Smith writes down how many laps we have done. We get sheets to record how many laps we have done. I really feel tired after the run.I think step by step I am getting better at running.

PE on Monday
On Monday we did P.E outside the school. We played circus catchie. Circus cachie is when two people are clowns and the others half to run away. If a clown catches you, you have to run around the circle and then you can play again. We played circus training. Circus training is when the worker has to run on the outside of the circle and the ringleader has to run on the inside of the circle and coach the worker. It was very tiring. We are working on fitness.

Kenyan Visit
Yesterday two Kenyan ladies came, they came to talk about Crofting Connections. They were called Nancy and Agnes. Nancy worked as a teacher and Agnes was a community worker and politician. Two other ladies came their names were Pam Rodway (head of Crofting Connections) and Mrs Simpson (head of Dunrossness School) We had shown them the garden and we had gone down to The Old Haa.
I learned that…
- Some Plants in Kenya germinate within 5 or 6 days
- PiliPili Manga means Black Pepper in Kiswahili
- Kiswahili is one of the languages Kenyans speak
- The children learn how to hunt from as soon as they are able to walk
- The children learn what fruits they can eat from as soon as they can walk
- The most common fruit in Kenya are Mangoes
- They catch Gazelle
- They have animals that look like otters. They live in Lake Victoria and are smaller.
- Pam sends out a lot of the seeds that we grow
We came back to the school and entered the classroom. We sat down and Agnes and Nancy sang and played Phoebe’s drum. They sang a greeting song and Cultural song both in Kiswahili and just before they left the sang if your happy and you know it in English. I really enjoyed it!

The Walk to See Houses and Homes
On Wednesday the 20/05/15 we went for a walk around Burravoe and spoke about the homes belonging to people.We spoke about what they are made of and are they detached,Semi-detached,Terraced,Bungalow,Flats,Caravans or other.Other are like the Old Haa or a shop. We all had clipboards so we wrote down or ticked the box which said the right kind of house. A detached house is when its stands all alone by itself. A semi-detached house is when they are two houses joined up. A terraced house is when there are lots of houses joined up. A bungalow is one house with no stairs and flats are houses one on top of each other.
We saw 5 detached houses, 16 semi-detached houses, 1 row of terraced houses,2 bungalows,0 flats, 1 caravan,1 other which was the Old Haa. Kerrys house was a church and now she lives in it.
On the walk we saw sheep, cars, fields, people, flowers, boats, clouds.
I enjoyed the walk because I liked seeing the houses.
The first photo is a house but it used to be a church. The second photo is a detached house. The third photo is houses joined up together which is called terraced houses.
