Sierra Leone has amazing natural resources and natural views that will blow your mind. Some natural views include The Loma Mountains, Tiwai Island, Lake Sonfon, and Tingi Hills Forest. It is located in West Africa that is flanked by Guinea in the North, the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest, and Liberia in the South. Its estimated population is 5.2 to 6 million. Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone and is home to 16 ethnic groups. Sierra Leone is one of the top ten producers of diamonds and earns a lot of money from foreign countries from mineral exports. It is one of Africa’s smallest republics. Sierra Leone is ranked 118th in biggest countries in the world. This amazing country sounds like an awesome place to go and visit. If anyone of you reading have been to or live in Sierra Leone I would love it if you left a comment to get to know a bit about life in Sierra Leone!

 

 

During the week of holy week, my family makes Pysanky Eggs. These are traditional easter eggs for Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian cultures. My family is both Polish and Ukrainian but we practice more Ukrainian costumes. These eggs require parental supervision because of wax and fire being involved. The eggs can be made out of wood or real eggs.

1 If you are using real eggs, you need to drill small holes on both the top and bottom of the egg. Once you have finished you have to carefully blow into the egg so all of the yolk is out of the egg to make it nice and hollow. You have to be super careful blowing into the egg so it doesn’t crack! When you finish this, you should gather your materials like food coloring, wax, candles, and special wax tools. These tools have little cups inside to store wax in and you put it over the candle so it melts. This wax is traditional black but it really doesn’t matter what color. Once you finish melting the wax you can paint whatever designs you want on the egg with the wax.

2 After the wax dries, you place your egg in a color of your choice. You let it sit in the coloring until the color is right for you, then you can take it out. You then put the egg over a candle to melt the wax off and you have your design! You repeat this process as many times as you would like with other colors too. You can add rubber bands to have guidelines for perfect lines or make it look ombre.

This is what my family does every Easter. I would love for you to leave comments of your blog for this week for celebrations and festivities so I can learn about your celebrations for different holidays!

This is a survey about what music genres you like, what artists are your favorite, etc. My favorite music genres are Hip Hop/Rap and Pop. Some artists I like are Post Malone, Sia, Bruno Mars, and many others. Music does help me concentrate when I am doing things with music on.

I go to St.Ignatius of Antioch School in Pennsylvania USA that is PreK to 8th grade. We have to wear uniforms everyday but, we have a different uniform for PE. Our school has us do one or two different specials everyday because our schedule changes from day to day. The upper grades, which is fifth to eighth grade, switch classes but we don’t have lockers. A few days before the last day of school, we have Field Day where we have two teams that are red and white because they are our school colors. You can tell me what your school is like by filling out this form I created.
