This is the first day of my holiday, officially! I saw some of you last night at the Graduation and for those of you who sang in the Primary Choir, well done!

Vania, congratulations on graduating from Primary. We really missed you in class when you moved up to Grade 6, but I know that was the right class for you to be in.

Hope all of you check the blog over the summer. I will try and post things from time to time.

Riddles and Glasses and Haiti!! =)

Hey Guys!!!!!

It's Ben! It feels like forever since I've gotten to see to you!! Mrs. Hasmig is really awesome for letting me write on here, so hopefully I'll come up with some interesting question for all of you! Let's see here:

First, let's start with an easy one- who can solve this riddle?

"I break when you say my name~ what am I?"

And no using Google to solve it either!! ;)

A few of you are my friends on Facebook too- be sure to add me as a friend if you haven't! Or post here and I'll add you if you want.

Just to give you an update on me- I got back to the States in March, and I've been really busy getting stuff ready for school in August. My sister, brother-in-law, and I are planning a trip to go back to Haiti in a few weeks too. We're taking adjustable eyeglasses to a city in North Haiti called Cap Haitien (here's a Wikipedia page about the city: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap-Ha%C3%AFtien

If you guys remember, I talked in Logos chapel about how the Haitien people spend close to 200 Euros to buy glasses- and we're going to be able to bring a thousand pairs of glasses to them for free. But not just any glasses!!

The pairs we're bringing were made by a Dutch company, and they can be adjusted by the person wearing them!! That means they just turn a little wheel till the glasses are the right prescription, then lock them in place!

We actually got our first pair of glasses today!! Here is my sister wearing them:

I admit, they're not the most attractive things ever, but for people who have never been able to see, it's a dream come true! Please keep us in your prayers as we go to Haiti with these!

That's all for today- don't forget to try to figure out the riddle, and write on here just to say hello!! =)

I really miss you guys- can't wait to come back to Cyprus and see you all!!!

Total Lunar Eclipse: June 15th 2011

Here are some photos of this week's Total Lunar Eclipse. They were taken from a village above Limassol by one of my friends.

First stages of the Eclipse

Last stages of the Eclipse

Question: Who can tell me when the next Total Lunar Eclipse will happen?

Pottery by kids

Since we are going to visit the potter on Tuesday thought you might like to see some pottery pieces made by kids.

Sports day and our human pyramid

Sports Day May 2011

We had a good sports day this past Wednesday. According to my Grade 5 tradition, I wanted you to make a human pyramid(if you are not sure what this is see previous post). You can see a photo of your attempt on sports day. Thursday many of you were complaining of having a backache...hmmm...Then on Friday I find out after your PE class that you asked to make a human pyramid again! Thanks to Miss Clea I have a photo of this one too. Enjoy!

Human Pyramid

A human pyramid is a type of stunt in which several participants stand or kneel together in a row or other formation, forming a base for another tier of participants who stand or kneel on their shoulders, backs or thighs. Successively smaller tiers of participants may be added, each tier supported by the one below it. Lighter participants are placed at the top of the formation, while the strongest participants form the base of the pyramid.

Human pyramids may be performed by cheerleaders, by circus acrobats—who may perform additional tricks simultaneously, such as juggling or making the pyramid travel—or less perfectly by amateurs (often for the fun of failing and falling).

The Loch Ness Monster

Here is a good website for you to surf and find more about the Loch Ness Monster.
Have fun!
