A must watch!

Here is a sample of our Macedonian lessons (please remember we've only had a few!!). Shea (our teacher's husband) is a cool film maker and made this with us in one of our lessons. We can't wait to do the next one!!

Macedonian Lessons with Lile

Highlights from the Last Week at School

Thursday: Exploring Numbers

Friday:

'Don't' poems - based on Michael Rosen's poem of the same name

Don't do, don't do, don't do that.
Don't eat the sugar,
Don't squash bugs on the mat.
Don't crawl on the wall,
Don't groan on the phone.
Who do they think I am?
A honey-bee drone?

One day they'll say:
Don't have a look at the book,
Don't be mean to the bean,
Don't throw sock's at the fox,
And don't throw block's in the box,
Don't throw block's in the box,

Don't what?
Don't throw block's in the box, 

Don't what?
Don't throw block's in the box,

Who do they think I am?
A honey bee drone?

by Mimi 

Don't

Don't do, don't do, don't do that.
Don't push Mimi,
Don't zap the cap.
Don't swap your laptop,
Don't throw DVDs at Bee.

Who do they think I am?
A fish in the sea?

One day they'll say:
Don't grow too tall!
Don't explore the door! 
And don't crawl on the wall
don't crawl on wall

don't what?
don't crawl on the wall

don't what?
don't crawl on the wall

who do they think I am?
a fish in the Sea?

Staying up late is so cool!!

On Friday we got to stay up REALLY late because we went to a Macedonian wedding.

Mummy made Mimi a pretty dress and Evan wore his cool suit (Mummy's not sure how much longer he'll fit in it!) and a shirt to match.

The wedding didn't start until 5 o'clock and then we went to the food and dancing bit - it didn't even start until  past our bed time!!

 

 

Mimi loved the dancing and Evan loved playing with his grown-up friend Gretsko. We also played spies under the tables!

There was loads of food to eat and it was all really yummy - you could just help yourself to how much you wanted, it was great!

At 11 o'clock Mummy said it was time to go home (she was tired, not us) and we fell asleep straight away in our beds zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yippee for Macedonia!

Introduction :   We arrived on the 1^st of June in Skopje and it was pouring with rain! 

 First, we had a birthday/hello party with all of our friend’s.

Then we went to church on the following Sunday and we saw all our friend’s all over again!   That week we had no school because Mum & Anna had to plan it all.

(Oh, didn’t I tell you) Anna is teaching us on Thursday & Friday.

 

 The Following week’s, Dave & Liz came to see us & to go to the 24-7 prayer gathering & and they told us that Dave was pregnant! Sorry, I mean Liz!

And Phil & Anna had a sofa surprise for us! They kept it a secret until the men came to put the sofa in. ‘ What a funny looking washing machine’ they said when they brought it in!

 Finally, we went to Racella’s house because she had a friend from Sweden who’s sister was having a birthday party. The next week, I got cross and I yanked out the cutlery draw and it fell out onto my toe, and I cried a lot.

 

Overall, I have enjoyed the last few weeks.

Our Trip to Macedonia

We went on a trip from Guildford to Macedonia and on the way we went through England, France, Italy and Greece.

Leaving England

First, we went to the ferry in Dover. We didn’t go with Phil and Anna because we had to get the trailer because our Land-rover was stuffed!

In France 

Next, we went to Anna’s parent’s house & the next day was Anna’s birthday and that day we were going that day and Anna had a cake!

In Italy

Then, we went to a house with a puppy dog which his name Tebootse That daddy (Scot) played with .

In Greece

Finally, we went to Greece and daddy bought a cowboy hat.then we went to a campsite that we had been in before in Harry. (my favourite campervan)! The next day Daddy said we would go to a house with a very cute puppy. It was sad to leave him (he was called Alex).

Overall, it was a brilliant trip from Guildford to Macedonia!

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

THE SUNDAY BEEFOR THE LARST WE WENT TO THE ZOO. THEES  THREE THINGS I LIKE ARE THE  DEER, ZEBRERS AND THE ELFANTS.                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Measuring Things.

We made orw nyo contynar yestday for meshering things like water.

(We made our new container ...)

We walked around the world - really we did!!

Ages ago Mimi asked Mummy and Daddy how many days it takes to walk around the world. Sooo we looked up the answer on the internet and Mummy asked us to do a presentation about it.

In school-time we also worked out how many days it would take US to walk around the world - this was very tricky for me and Mimi and also very tricky for Mummy. We had to use a calculator and everything!!

Some people in the community had guessed how many days it would take to walk round the world so we found out who was closest and invited everyone to see our presentation so we could tell them and give out the prize. Markus's guess was nearest so we gave him some chocolate money.

Last weekend when Daddy was away we did our own walk around the world. We took the atlas and had to work out which country we were going to next. We went through loads of countries, saw all sorts of animals, said hello to our friends in New Zealand and Mexico and even had a picnic in India! It was so much fun, but I was really tired at the end - I have only got little legs!!

If you want to find out how many days it takes to walk around the world and see some pictures of our walk you can look at our presentation here Mummy says.

Oh yes, and one day I want to drive around the world for real, anyone want to come with me?

My first ballet lesson

Last week I started ballet lessons and I like it ssssssssssssssssssssssssso much. We learnt Plies and we've been snowmen, snowflakes and clowns. And we've been Princesses of course.

We also do lots of exercises like having to touch our noses onto our knees. I can't do that yet though. My favourite bit is doing the houses where we have to put our arms above our heads and then run with our knees up, and of course wearing the beautiful ballet clothes.

I really want to make the teacher some special biscuits so I hope we can do that for next week.

Back home and it's cold!!

I can't believe we've only been back home 2 weeks! When we were at Nana's I didn't want to come home, but actually it's been brilliant. Here are some of the things we've been up to:
