 I climbed to the top of the helter skelter !

2. RUNNING

I ran 31 paces in 8.8 seconds.

3. TAEKWON-DO

I can block,  punch and kick with self-control.

4. SEEING

I can see teeny weeny insy winsy things like soil and earwigs. I can see humongous things like marquees, the sky and tall trees.

5. HEARING

I can hear things like birds, Mummy, aeroplanes, phones ringing, people chattering, footsteps, horns, breathing and the trees swaying in the wind.

6. THINKING AND STRENGTH

I used my brain to work out how I could do these things.

I am strong enough to hold on and pull things towards me.

Please pray for my nanny because she has fallen over some ice and broken her arm.
Please pray for my brother because he has a very poorly cold, rash , burst eardrum and sticky eyes.

Hi Um... E is poorly again like in Finland last year. Mum thinks that it happens most when we are far away from home and this week we are in the south of Bulgaria the furthest away from Macedonia. He is in hospital the second time today so please pray for him. Love Mimi.

P.S Don't worry it's all going to be fine as long as we all keep praying praying and praying again!

P.p.s Keep especially your family's praying too.

Mimi's Survey on Cycles in Nature

Hi, at school Mum asked me and Evan this question:”Does everything in nature work in cycles?” and I worked out some questions for my friends and family to answer. These are the questions:

How did nature start?

1. Can you name a cycle in nature?
2. Do you agree that nature lives in cycles?
3. If you could make up a cycle, what would it be about?
4. Is there anything in nature that does NOT work in cycles?

 These are the answers:

 1. Out of 13 people there were 10 people who said God started nature and 2 people that said that they don’t know how it started.

2. These are some of the answers for number 2:

Butterfly Lifecycle

Broad beans

Paper

Seasons

Any animals

Tree shedding leaves in autumn

Fruit tree

Water

Frogs -> tadpoles ->frogs,
Seeds-> flowers ->seeds
Day-> night ->day
Spring->summer->autumn-> winter -> spring
Plants die -> leaves rot in the ground-> make food for new plants

 3.  Out of 13 people 9 people said yes they did agree that nature lived in cycles and 0 people said no only 2 people said they were not sure

 4.  Here are all of the cycles that people would make up a cycle:

I would make it so that you did not know what the weather would be like- sunny, snowy, hail, fog, mist,cloudy and lots of others.

         I would make a cycle that meant every time a species of animal became extinct then a new one would appear to replace it.

         My new cycle would be to reuse the fuel in my cars by attaching a hose pipe from the exhaust to a gadget which changes it back to petrol - not sure you would call this nature though.

         Huge pods of dolphins coming to exmouth every year to have their young!

        This is a funny one - I do have a cycle but its in the garage not in nature but it does come out in seasons when I want to go out for a ride and then the wheels do go round. So, I suppose you could say it's a cycle going round in seasons!

 5.   These  are the answers people think nature does not work in cycles  :

weather

maybe the universe

        MOUNTAINS

Evan's Survey on Rainbows

HELLO MY NAME IS EVAN AND I WANT TO REVIEW MY SURVEY WITH YOU.

 

I asked my family and friends these questions:

 

1. DO YOU THINK GOD 
   AMED RAINBOWS?
2. WHY DID GOD NAME RAINBOWS ‘RAINBOWS’?
3. IF GOD DIDN’T NAME RAINBOWS, WHO DID?

 

DO YOU AGREE?

 

1. Out of 17 people, 9 people said ‘YES’ and 8 people said ‘NO’.

 

I THINK UM…GOD DID MAKE BUT RAINBOWS BUT HE DIDN’T NAME THEM.

 

2. Most people said rainbows only come out when the sun is shining and the rain is pouring. Lots of people said they are shaped like a bow and arrow.

 

HUMPTY, NANA AND CAPTAIN ERIC SAID THIS:

 

HUMPTY - ‘He said, " I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant (promise) between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.Genesis 9:13. So every time you see a rainbow you can think, "God is seeing it as well as me and is remembering his promise to the world" Good eh?’

NANA – ‘I think God chose the name because a rainbow is in the shape of the sort of 'bow' that Noah may have used with an arrow to catch things to eat ), and the 'rain' bit because it was to remind God and everyone that He had promised not to make it rain so much as to flood the earth again.’

ERIC – ‘I am not sure that in the Hebrew that rainbows translates to rainbows but in the english it makes sense. Bows of colour that refract light during rain. Makes sense to me.’

3. Some people think God didn’t name rainbows. They thought it might be:

 

Noah, or Noahs kids.

people

probably someone english

Adam & Eve

 

In Macedonian a rainbow is called ‘vinozito’

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!!

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.
