10 reasons to play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Ok, so my Mom told me that if I want to play Lego Marvel Superheroes I need to write 10 reasons why she should let me play, so here they are:

1. For the whole week I was banned from computer so I was waiting for the whole week to play.
2. I didn't play Lego M.S. for a long time.
3. I tried to finish all my homework yesterday (because there was a slight change of plans this week -  I got a modeling job ... and other stuff).
4. I really like this game (really, really) oh! and FYI I got this game from my Polish Grandma.
5. And altogether I was quite a "good boy" this week.
6. Wait it is not done yet oh noooooo!, so ... Owen (my best friend) can not talk on hangout tonight sooooo I will be playing by myself.
7. Ahhhhhhhhhh ... don't know ... golly! ... noooooooooooooooo!
8. Ok, next - I played on the saxophone and piano.
9. I really need to finish a mission in the game.
10. Last one aaaaaaa, so I was good today?

Wait you say line number 7 is not a reason good enough.

Ok, so if you say that line 7 is not good then here is another reason - I wrote my blog post today - Yay!

Scratch games

For the past few weeks I've been going for a computer programming class. We've been learning how to program with Scratch.
It's a lot of fun! You can also try it.

Yesterday I made a game called Easter Egg Hunt. To play it CLICK HERE.

If you want to see fireworks, go to the FIREWORKS  I've created.

Another game I've created is a game called GHOST. It's really silly, but I like it the most!

Soon we will start using Mindstorm and other fun stuff. So come back later to read more about my computer class.

Ju Percussion Group and playing with Ben and John

For the past few months my parents were organizing a workshop for other parents who want to homeschool their kids. At the beginning I didn't think it would be fun to go for those workshops, because I wouldn't know any of the kids, but ... it turned out that there were two boys about my age coming every time. And ... they live on the same mountain as we do，just on the other side.
Every time we meet we play Monopoly, Monopoly Deal, Uno, cards etc. One time they came over to our house - you can read about it here. In summer I will be going to a basketball camp with them. And maybe their dad can teach me how to play squash.

Yesterday we went to the National Theater 國家戲劇院 to see a performance by Ju Percussion Group 朱宗慶打擊樂團 Mulan 木蘭. I didn't like the signing part, which was hurting my ears, it was sang like the Peking Opera 京劇. Horrible! But the music was really really cool. I liked the fighting with bamboo sticks the best. You can watch a short clip below.

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.

Mario and Luigi Hama Beads

Saturday there was no dance class, because new semester is starting next week.
I had a lot of free time. I helped Dad to fix a few things around the house and to put away the heaters.
I wanted to do more Hama Beads, but couldn't find any pattern I liked. I ended up doing Mario and Luigi, but I didn't really like the design I found on the Internet so today I changed everything. I spent whole afternoon doing my own design. That's how it turned out:

While doing the Hama Beads I watched 2 films in Polish - "Pan Samochodzik i Niesamowity Dwór" i "Czarne Stopy". I give "Czarne Stopy" 100 stars! Both movies were made in 1986.

Yesterday evening Zosia and I filmed something. I can't show you the film, because Zosia has not edited it yet. Anyway, the film will be about us making ... sweet sushi!

Doesn't it look yummy? (photo by Zozo)

I don't really like sweets that much, so Zosia ate most of it. (photo by Zozo)

This is what we used. (photo by Mama)

Last night we also played Blokus! I WON!!!!!! That was the first time I won in this game!!!!

It's my turn!

The Elizabethan Age

In my last post I wrote about making a project about Bach for my music class. I wanted to post a photo of it, but ... my teacher said it was so good that she wanted to show it to other kids so I had to leave it in the music class. I will post a photo after I get it back.

Since Wednesday my Dad can not talk, because he had an operation on his vocal cords. It's quiet, because he doesn't talk on the phone anymore.

Yesterday we started reading a book about the Queen of England, Elizabeth I. We also read about her times in other books.

While Mama was reading to me I made a pattern with Palago blocks. Take a look at it and tell me how you like it.

Learning about the Earth

Yesterday I started reading "The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth". I like this series of books very much. I learned some new words from this book, like: metamorphic, sedimentary, igneous, basalt, obsidian. All of them are ROCK words :-)



I've already learned about how the Earth is build and about volcanoes before, so this was a review. I also filled out some worksheets:

There is a really cool game called Landform Detectives on the BrainPop website. You can check it out HERE.

Last year my Mom wrote on her blog about teaching me about volcanoes. You can read what she wrote HERE.
The day that we were doiung the volcano experiment TV came to film us learning at home. You can watch that news below (it's in Chinese).

I can't write more, because I have to prepare something about Bach for music class tomorrow.
Bye, bye.

Playing games

Yesterday Mama and 爸爸 had a workshop for parents who want to homeschool. Some parents came with kids and we played together. We played some board games - Monopoly, Pictureka, card games - UnoSpin and geography Twister (Globe Trotting). It was fun playing with the other kids, but Mama says we were too loud.

Today was my last day of balet class. I decided to quit balet not because I don't like dancing, but because my classmates are all girls and they are not nice to me. I will still continue with another class which will be martial arts.

After dance class we went for dinner with Ama 阿媽 and Agong 阿公 and aunts to celebrate my Daddy's birthday (which is on Tuesday!).
