Spoonful of Aisya

Yesterday was my birthday and I had a lot of fun. Two nights before my birthday, my family made a surprise cinema outside: watching the movie of my choice. I chose Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it is my favourite Harry Potter book and it includes a time turner - which is one of my favourite magical objects in the world. Halfway through the movie, we all were absolutely freezing cold so we carried in watching it inside. We also ate my homemade birthday cake which was a tiramisu coffee cake (it was delicious, in my opinion, although I slightly wished that there was a bit more coffee). On the day of my birthday, I played the game of riddles with my Grandma, uncles, aunties and cousins that is on the other side of the world - Malaysia. My sister and I were one team and we were second overall. my cousin was first place. Here is one of the examples of one of the riddles. Question: What is more useful broken? Answer: Eggs. Our cinematic experience in our garden. M...

A few weeks ago, I created a book review on request for it to be posted on a magazine . I chose to do it on the Boy of the Back of the Class. Here is my review.↓ Introduction The Boy At the Back Of the Class is a great book by Onjali Q. Rauf because it reveals the hardship of people escaping the war in Syria and a strong connection between two people. Summary A refugee boy came to a school where the narrator and her best friends go to. The narrator became friends with Ahmet (the refugee boy) and Brendan-the-bully was being mean to him so they had a fight. Ahmet won and so Brendan got revenge by putting a can of baked beans into Ahmet’s red bag. He tries to wash it off but the smells and stains stayed. The narrator learned more about Ahmet’s background story and how he got into the school and country. Ahmet and his family were running from a war in Syria and they all got separated. Unfortunately, Ahmet’s cat died whilst going on a boat to Greece. They had to move to many differe...

Today, we all decided to make some thing about rainbows to put at our windows as a sign for hope. A hope to make covid 19 disappear. In our neighbourhood, there are more than 40 rainbows that my friend said when she was jogging! I wanted to make an origami rainbow hanging on a piece of string to stick on the front door window. My brother, sister and my mum painted a rainbow with sunshine and flowers on my mum's middle window in her room. My sister did the rainbow, my brother did the sunshine and my mum did the flowers and greenary. Instructions to make a hanging rainbow What you will need: Coloured card (white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink) Scissors Clear tape Double sided tape Stapler White pom poms Srong string 1.

Today, my mum suggested my sister and I make 3 mini pizzas for lunch. She also asked my brother to make brownies with her. We all woke up and opened our home school (I knew that I would have a lot of fun today because we had so much fun yesterday).  I decided to draw a greyscale (black and white), shaded picture of my blue, metallic hydroflask. I think it looks very realistic. Share what you think of my drawing in the comments. After that, my sister and I made the pizzas. Me with my drawing. I had to be very careful with the shading and I really did not want a single line out of place because I want it to look neat. I also put the shadow of my bottle to make it look even more realistic. Instructions to make a mini pizza Serves one person. 1.First, preheat the oven to gas mark 5. 2.Second, mix in a cup of flour with a half-cup of water (ratio from flour to water is 2:1). 3.Flour your surface and knead the dough on that surface.

My name is Aisya and I live in Manchester, UK. As you all know, covid 19 is spreading and we are all on total lockdown so we are being homeschooled and having fun at the same time! We are doing a quantity of things to uplift our knowledge and to learn more about the outside world. Yesterday, I read an artical about sloths in Central America and South America.and I also learned that they hold Ironman sloth games annually. Did you know that they do a 1 meter 'dash', how fast a sloth can consume up a hibiscus flower and how long a sloth can hold onto a branch before landing on soft ground. I also sewed a cupcake trinket box my friend gave to me as an early birthday present. the Lego challange yesterday was to build a rollercoaster so i built a funhouse with a rollercoaster included in it. It took me a day to sew this. wikipedia                                            ...
