Today, I was a teacher and I taught my dad about Ramadan. I taught about Ramadan because I am moving to the U.A.E and I am interested about the Muslim culture. Ramadan is when Muslims pray seven times a day and fast (don't eat until night fall for 30 days). At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate fasting for 30 days with a spectacular party, called Eid. Muslims also get to see their family too and at Eid there is lots and lots of food, including all of their favourite dishes.  This year, the Muslims won't be able to have big Eid parties because of Covid-19, but I hope they will be able to still celebrate.  

  Isolation Olympics Today we did our own Isolation Olympics. We started with our opening ceremony, then we ran laps with the Olympic Torch (which we made from toilet roll holders) as if it were a relay race. We did the toilet roll waddle, running with a toilet roll in between our knees to put the toilet roll in a box without our hands. We also tried to throw the  toilet roll into the box as if it were a basket ball. Finally, we then got a bat and tried to hit the toilet roll into the box like it was golf and when I scored, I did a victory dance! I loved doing the I solation Olympics.      Click this link to watch my isolation olympics!                              

Manaakitanga On Monday the 4th May it was my mum's birthday. Me and my mum! I secretly planned a surprise party for her with Dad and Henry.   We arranged food, decorations, drinks and music.  I even planned a special presentation where we said what we each loved about Mum.  This is my presentation: What we love about Mum Mum looked so surprised when we shouted Surprise! I felt so happy and proud after the party. I would love to plan a another surprise with and for my family for example when it is my Dads birthday Mum, Henry and I would probably plan a party for him. We would have all of Dads favourite songs on and we will have a family game.
