During trading I learned that their mishoons (boats) are made from pine and fit 20-40 men. The men fish and hunt and the women cook, garden, make clothes, and keep the home. They have no set meal time, they eat whenever they are hungry. They eat vegetables (beans, corn), moose, quail and wild herbs.
They don't have a positive history with white men because white men have taken their people as slaves, they brought disease and they wiped out a tribe. They also stole crops. They are afraid of pilgrims. We have just returned from a 2 day trading expedition. We traded with three different native tribes. The natives appeared to be able to trade. We insisted that we get beaver skins. We returned home to our colony with 1 barrel of beaver skins.
During living in the world we had to build houses we managed to build 6 houses. During the process we had to chop wood, work together, and work hard. We learned that we had to make peace with the native americas otherwise we could parish. We also learned that we were both afraid of each other, but since we each had woman and children we thought different.
Our colony in the New World did not have a government. So we stayed on board our ship and made a plan for governing our colony. We elected Sarah and Daniel as our colony leaders. They will be responsible for making our rules. We all agreed to this decision. After we signed the agreement we went ashore and set up sentries because we needed to protect ourselves.
Crossing the great ocean was an adventure. At first the weather was good then it changed and the seas became stormy. At one point we feared for our lives when the ship hit a storm. Life on ship was scary because at one point someone fell overboard . Finally we reached land. the voyage took us to Cape Cod. We fought and argued when we got off the ship.
My name is Sarah Royal. I am 14 years old and I live in a family of 4. I currently live in Holland, but my family and I do not like it here. In Holland we cant get good jobs. We hope to move to a better place.
Today while visiting England I learned their money is called a British pound and it is worth just a little bit more than a dollar. Did you know Yorkshire pudding is a starter meal that is an edible bowl that you put gravy and vegetables in? England is very similar but it is hard to understand everyone with their accent and I was so excited to see the Big Ben it was so amazing. Another cool thing I learned about England is they start school and end school at the same time. Soccer is very popular here.
