On water and in air

A week ago we came to Poland. Before coming here we stayed a few days in Hong Kong. On the day we were flying out of  Hong Kong we went on a yacht cruise - it was so nice and warm.

The boat we were on.

The next day we landed in cold, but sunny Europe - Zurich and later Warsaw.

So far in Warsaw we went to the Old Town.

We also went shopping. My Mom got me some shirts and books. One is about the history of Poland.
                                                                               

Yesterday we went to the Warsaw Rising Museum. It's a museum about Warsaw Uprising which took place during World War II (Aug.1,1944 - Oct.4,1944). The whole Warsaw was destroyed and many, many people were killed.

3 books in 4 days!

Last week I read three books. Two were from a series Great Illustrated Classics - Around the World in 80 Days by Julius Verne and The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The Three Musketeers was scary (a lot of people were killed), not like the animated movie I've watched before. I liked Around the World in 80 Days better. I also read Who was Marco Polo? from the Who was ...? series. Next I will have to read Who was Magellan?


I like to read books in English the best. I read in Polish too, but much slower. Chinese books I only read with my parents or teacher. I am still learning the characters.

Do you know that my sister, Zozo, is a model?
Last Friday she had a photoshoot and I had to go with her, because I couldn't stay home alone that long. It was very boring. I was playing on my Nexus7 all the time and Mama wasn't very happy.

Here is a photo of my sis:

Did you know that I also do a bit of modeling from time to time? I started when I was just a few months old :-) Here is a photo from my photoshoot last year:

Dancing, playing and reading

During the past few days nothing interesting has happened, that's why I didn't write anything.
I didn't get my Bach project back from the music teacher, because she still wanted to show it to more children.
On Friday we went out for dinner with Agong 阿公 and Ama 阿媽 and my aunts. We ate in a Chinese restaurant. It was soooo good and I ate soooo much that I almost blew up!
My Dad finally started talking after his vocal chords operation. But he still shouldn't talk too much.

Yesterday I had my super-duper dance class! I started a new semester. Four new girls came to our class, so now there are 12 kids - 9 girls and 3 boys. We started learning martial arts. I am sure I will like it a lot.

In the afternoon we had guests - my new friends Ben and John came over to our house. They live quite close to us. We played XBox 360 Kinect - Joy Ride, Motion Sports and Adventure! It was super-duper fun!



Mom wants me to write that we finished reading a book about Janusz Korczak who was a teacher and a doctor, and took care of orphans. He was Jewish and died with all the children from his orphange in a concentration camp in Poland during the World War II. The title of the book was: "Jest taka historia, opowieść o Januszu Korczaku".












Another book we read  this week was: "I live in Tokyo". I don't really live in Tokyo, but that's the title of the book. It tells about different holidays during the year in Japan. There were many Japanese words in it and pictures were very nice.

History of Poland

I got up very late today. If I would need to go to school I would be late for sure. But Mama let's me start the school late.
Do you know what I do when I have to write my boring Chinese characters? I listen to audiobooks on my mp4 walkman. Today I was listening to "Pan Samochodzik i Wyspa Złoczyńców". I think I already heard it about 50 times! It's very long, but I like to listen to it very much. I listen to audiobooks when I am playing with Lego or walking the dog. So remember, if you want to buy me a present you can give me an audiobook.

I had math, Polish and history today. I also wrote worksheets on Megasaurus and Iguanodon.
These are my books for reading about history of Poland. Today Mama read to me about Kazimierz Wielki who "zastał Polskę drewnianą a zostawił murowaną" which means that he found Poland wooden and left it build with bricks. He also founded the first university in Poland.

My Dance Classes and books

Today I had balet and dance classes. At the dance class we are learning dances from around the world. I didn't know the Russian dance, because I was in Poland when other children learned it. I am very tired now, because I danced for 3 hours.
I also worked at a coffee shop between the two classes. In the coffee shop I washed cups, made coffee and snacks, served and cleaned the tables. I like working in the coffee shop which is just outside my dance school.


Let's change the subject and talk about books.
Last week me and Mama read a book called "O Diabełku, który odważył się śmiać" written by Ksiądz Maliński. It was very, very funny and moving.

I also read "The Cats in Krasinski Square" by Karen Hesse. It was a story about Jews in Warsaw during the World War II. I like to read about WWII and watch movies about WWII, but I think it is very sad that so many people were killed during the war.

The Real Beginning

Today is the day Mama let me set up a blog!

Everyday I will try to post my daily news which will  include my lessons and some fun things.

Today I worked on:

Science - Hovering Machines from The Usborne Book of  Knowledge











Math - Matematyka Wokół Nas (workbook)

 English - Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills

 Mama read to me history about explorers and Africa in XV century from these books.

 
 
I also had Chinese lesson with a teacher that comes every Monday and Friday.

Today it was my turn to make dinner! Look what I made:

Baked tilapia with rice and salad

A daily question for readers:
Is it true that whenever the helicopter's blades spin the machine rises in the air?
