BLOD yma eto. Wnaethoch chi eich gwaith cartref? Da iawn chi os ydych wedi trio dweud enw’r pentref sydd yn agos i fy nghartref i. Gwrandewch ar Niamh o fy ysgol i yn ei ddweud wrth glicio yma. Heddiw ges i becyn bwyd oherwydd aethom i ymweld â sw mor. Roedd fy mhrifathro yn ei alw yn ‘ymweliad addysgiadol’. Dwi’n ei alw yn drip ysgol! Aethom eithaf pell. Yn wir, roedd rhaid croesi’r ffin o Gymru i Loegr. Roedd o’n dda. Fy hoff ran oedd pan wnaeth y plymwyr bwydo’r gath fôr. Mae yna lun ohono ar flog yr ysgol, ac fe allwch fy ngweld i yn y llun bach yn pwyntio at bysgod.
Cefais frechdan caws a nionyn gyda ‘salad cream’ (sydd dipyn fel ‘mayonnaise’ os dydych chi ddim yn gwybod). Hefyd, cefais greision, afal, grawnwin, a teisin ‘rice crispie’ gyda ‘marshmallows’ ynddi. I yfed, cefais dŵr blas mefus.
BLOD here again. Did you do your Welsh homework? If you tried to say the name of the place near where I live with a long name then well done. You can listen to Niamh from my school saying it by clicking here. Today I had a packed lunch because we went to visit an aquarium. My headmaster called it an “educational visit”. I call it a school trip! We went quite far. In fact we crossed the border from Wales to England. It was good. My favourite part was when the divers gave the ray food. There’s a picture of it on our school’s blog (www.ysgolkingsland.com), and you can see me in the little picture pointing at some fish.
I had a cheese and onion sandwich with salad cream (which is a bit like mayonnaise if you didn’t know). Also I had crisps, apple, grapes, and a marshmallow rice crispie cake. To drink I had strawberry flavoured water.

Today’s guest dinner comes from Lytham St Anne’s in Lancashire, England. Max is nearly 8 years old and says:
I take a packed lunch to school every day and here is a picture of today's. Tuna sandwiches, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber and a chunk of Stripey Jack cheese. For afters there's a KitKat (somewhere in there) and pineapple. Washed down with Ribena. My mum always makes sure I've got a healthy lunch and unusually for an 8 year old I love my salad and veg! I usually eat them first and then have my sandwiches. In summer my veg is from our garden. We grow peas, beans, carrots, onions, potatoes, rhubarb and pumpkins. Our school meals seem to be pretty good and they have a special lunch every term that you can have. They are usually themed as to what we are learning/doing.
Food-o-meter- 10/10! (I love my Mum’s packed lunches)!
Mouthfuls- about 47.

BLOD here again. I’m really sorry, Max but I couldn’t try to find where you live because my headmaster didn’t bring a globe or map with him on the bus! Your food looks really nice, though. I like the look of the Stripey Jack cheese. We also have special theme days. In fact we have one tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my last post. I think VEG will post an update about her amazing fundraising for Mary’s Meals too. I wonder who will be the 7,000th person to donate. It’s very close! In the meantime I will leave you with another guessing game. Can you guess what the theme of tomorrow’s special menu is? A clue: something to do with sports.

Nice job, Blod! I'm enjoying your guest posts, and it's so fun to hear the Welsh language!
ReplyDeleteHi Blod, I see you've had Rice Crispy cakes today's running, I'm guessing that tomorrow during your "Olympic Theme"? menu you won't be making it 3 days on the trot.
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to make a guess, you didn't win any prizes for finding a sticker in your pack lunch?? Though it wasn't that hard to find was it??
Blod, you have done a wonderful job. I have enjoyed your writing!
ReplyDeleteWelsh is very interesting! Thank you for sharing your week with us! Excellent job!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Blod, and thanks Niamh for the Welsh lessons. Have you ever tried pasting Welsh text into the Google Translate page and pressing the button to hear it spoken? It sounds like a Welsh Dr Who Dalek! You can't beat a real human being!
ReplyDeleteStill hoping to see French and Italian school lunches.
Cheers :o)
Wow...I'm so glad I don't live in the place with the longest name. Not only does it sound incredibly difficult to pronounce, but I cannot imagine having to spell it! I live in Play del Rey, California...and I often have to give my address over the phone for my business. People always ask: how do you spell "Playa del Rey"? I can't imagine them asking me how to spell "LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH." We'd be on the phone for hours trying to get it right!
ReplyDeleteThanks for filling in for VEG and giving lots of fun and cultural facts too. I'm 45 years old and learning a lot more from you kids about geography and other cultural things than I learned when I was in school!
I'm guessing the theme tomorrow has something to do with the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Blod! Question for you -- what kind of onions are in your cheese-and-onion sandwich and how are they prepared? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey Veg/Blod, guess what I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and you was featured in our local newspaper called THE STAR. How awesome is that, with a big centre spread of 2 pages and your big picture smiling. Congrats to you and keep on writing, I enjoyed reading your blog post. May be you should add a button "Follower" on the right side of your blog so that we can become your blog follower. Proud of you and I will be visiting you again. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks for tip. Do you think a Malaysian school may wish to guest blog for a week?

BLOD and all at Ysgol Kingsland - it has been a real pleasure reading the 1st world tour blog this week and you all have done an amazing job.
ReplyDeleteWell Done from just over the 2nd Severn Crossing.
Gadw'r iaith yn fyw!
Diolch yn fawr!
DeleteWe've all enjoyed taking part and look forward to following the blog's progress around the world!
Thank you Blod, Niamh and everyone at Ysgol Kingsland for a fantastic week of lunch reviews. You have been wonderful ambassadors for the Welsh people and Wales in general. I hope perhaps you may be able to guest blog again sometime. I am sure Veg and Veg's dad & mom will be pleased with your efforts and the response you have gotten from her followers. Welawlin! (That is the Mi'kmaq word for 'thank you'.) I have a challenge for you. Here in Canada the Mi'kmaq are the First Nations culture known as "The People of the Dawn". Can you guess why that is? Good luck and success with everything you do!
ReplyDeleteBe wonderful to have a First Nations guest blogger from Canada. Any contacts I can ask?

Hi Blod, Max's dad here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. Stripey Jack cheese is a mixture of 5 cheeses "glued" together. I'm sure it's not really glue but it makes for a different cheese and Max loves it.
Lytham St Annes is near Blackpool (the Open Golf Championship is here this year)
Cheers!
When do you have summer holidays? My daughter has been out of school for a week now and is "dying" to know (only I won't let her post this herself.)
ReplyDeleteVeg's holiday already started and ends late August!
DeleteVeg's Dad
Thanks, I will pass that along. :)
