busy post

Sorry I have not posted but it has been busy. I am not going into details because it would take all day so here is a list:

We went to Legoland on Monday. We did lots of rides. My favorite was the dragon roller coaster. We also had a look around mini land were they had copied lots of the world.
When we got to the London bit we saw a Lego dalek on top of Canary Wharf aka Torchwood.

I went to Blacklands farm with the group. We did trampolining, a crate challenge where two people stand on the crate tower while some others built up the tower. The other four were holding the safety ropes in case we fell.We had a record of 14 crates high. We also did some archery.

On Sunday me and Dad went up to West End Live to see the Lego Roadshow. I took part in a Lego Mosaic and found out how high I was in Lego bricks. 180 for those who are interested. We then had a walk around Covent Garden and watched some street performers.

Oops I went into detail.

sailing lesson cach up

Ok here is what happened in sailing.

Lesson 3
When we got the there were some school kids were doing a day thing so we had to share the lake. It also meant that the best life jackets had been taken. I think the thing we learnt best was how to doge boats bigger than us who are trying to splash you.

Lesson 4
Really hectic but nothing worth saying.

lesson 5
Lots of splashing as we got out the paddles.
Got soaked by the instructors speed boat. he came past and we got court by the waves.
I told the others in the boat to turn ( I was at the front) but they didn't. so I got
hit right up to the waist. Still the wave carried on going and got the others wet.
Serves them right for not turning.

wet week

On Wednesday we went to the Chatham Historic Dockyard.

First we went on a guided tour of how they made the wooden ships.

We then went on to the HMS Gannet which is a restored sailing ship. I then said that when dad had got lots of money like he keeps going on about he had to buy me a sailing ship like it.

After lunch we then went on to the HMS cavalier a world war 2 destroyer.

We then ( after a few tantrums ) went to the police museum. Samuel and William played on a model of a police public call box (aka the tardis ) while me, mum and dad went in to the museum. Check out the tardis!

On Friday I had sailing again.
It was the worst sailing i had ever been to.

We rigged the boat wrong at first. Well my partner did. Then we fond out one of the screws in the boat was loose so we started to take on water. then we were the slowest boat to get up the river. Then the rope that kept the boom from swinging aroned came undone. Then as we went back to the jetty i was sitting on the front of the boat and we were going to fast and my partner didn't slow us down and we hit the jetty to fast i went flying out of the boat and into the water. I just maneged to get on to the jetty but if i didn't i would have gone under. Not a good day is it?

shopping

On Monday me, William, mum and dad went shopping. I had to get a new coat, William had to get some more clothes and mum and dad were looking for a Internet connector thing to give the computer in Samuel and Williams room Internet access. The in the first shop William got his stuff but it didn't sell coats but I got a new top. After all mum and dad are paying.In the next shop we then found a coat and as we went to the computer store dad saw someone who goes to a speaking thing dad does. After a 5 minute chat we got the Internet access thing and got a McDonald's. When we got back dad took Samuel to get a McDonald's since he had stayed behind.

Friday

On Friday we went to the teen group.

We were late because mum and dad had to go shopping first. I went with them so that I could get chocolate (evil laugh).

It rained all the way down to the teen thing and stopped the moment we got out of the car. I went outside and played for a bit. I soon found the toy swords and challenged everyone to a sword fight. Only got two in the end. I won them both.

Had lunch and went back outside to see that one of the people had brought a rc robot thing. After playing you can't get me with it I suggested that we all bring some rc stuff (rc means remote controlled for those of you who don't know) and have a robot war. Then it started to rain so went in and played with the Lego.

And that's it. Now got to go get my N.S.E.C.T. ready for WAR. Bye.

sailing lesson1 level2

On Friday I went to my first level2 sailing lesson. HURRAY. I was a bit worried about the wind there was very little. We also had a new kid there also called Josh. This is going to be confusing. Still what can I do? Anyway by the time we had rigged our boats the wind had picked up so we went very fast. and we had a record as 4 boats went under. Mine was not one of them.

Help

On Monday I got sent back to school! It's not fair. Just because I couldn't remember my 12 times tables.






APRIL FOOL. I bet you fell for it didn't you.

Ok now the real post.
On Monday mum and dad left for a meeting in Sheffield. Just me, my brothers and my nan at home. my brothers nearly drove me mad. Mum and dad get back today. I don't know if I will be able to stay sane for that long though.

space day

On Tuesday we got up at 7 o clock ( that's very early for me ). me, Samuel and dad got in the car and went on the long drive to get to a space day thing. It took a long time because of the traffic.

When we got to the place which to Samuel's horror was in a school. Don't worry it was still a home ed trip it was just in a school. Ironic isn't it?

At first we were not sure where to go but when we found it it was a bit cramped. More people turn up than they thought were coming. We then went into the hall where the blow up planetarium was. It looked like a big silver bubble. We did a bit about the planets and the solar system and then moved on to stars. They turned off the lights and projected the night sky onto the roof of the bubble thing. I saw two constellations straight away.

We then went out of the bubble and had a quick break whilst they took down the bubble. We then made some moon spinners to show all the moon's phases. We then had lunch and a play before starting the next activity.

We split into teams of 4. We had to make 2 rockets. Two of us would make a rocket to go highest and the other two would make a rocket to be reusable. I was making the fast rocket. It was the basic design but when I tested it it was very good. We were going to launch them out side ( by the way we were using air to launch them ) but it started to rain. So they moved the launcher to an angle so we could see which went furthest. My rocket was one of the ones that hit the wall at the end of the hall.

We then got in the car and went home.

a new play park and the bromley meeting

On Thursday we went to a play area a bit like monkey bizz but bigger. It's called fun drum.
It took a while to get there but it we got over the long journey by figuring out how long it was since we were there last there.



On Friday we went to the bromley meeting. Despite the fact it was meant to rain it was really warm and sunny. We were out side most of the time and found a lot of cool places to play in.
We all so found a tape measure which some one had tied around a tree. I don't know why someone had tied it to the tree though.

pottery

On Wednesday we went to bromley to paint some pottery. It took us a little While to find it but we got there first.

There was so much to chose from. In the end i chose a model dragon. Three of us were paining dragons and we were at the same table. I think i did well. I was a bit slow so mum had to help me do the second coating but i did every thing else my self.

Saturday 8 March 2008

Halls, reporters and animal parks.

On Friday we went to the bromley home ed meeting. It was in a hall in the middle of no were. A lot of peaple showed up a reporter also came. It was a lot of fun.

On monday we went to godstone farm. Again. It was same as last time until the end when lots of school kids ( i think they were in year one) came into the play barn. It was very crowded.

bowling and colds

On Monday I went to bowling with the group. First game I came second, second game I came fourth ( five people played), third game I came last. Sniff. Still i have had a cold for a while so I have a excuse and I am sticking to it.

Halls Green

On Friday I went to Halls Green with the teen group from my church. It was lots of fun.

We went swimming, abseiling, climbing, a very muddy assault course, plus some wide games.

I shared a bedroom with five people. They were all mad!

I didn't manage to actually do the abseiling; I climbed up ok, but just couldn't quite bring myself to "sit down" over thin air, which is what you had to do to go over the top.

However one good thing was that my dormintory team won so I have a full stash of chocolate hidden in one of my shoes (can't say which one in case Samuel reads this!)

We also had a bonfire on the second night, complete with twelve bags of marshmellows! I'd also helped build the bonfire.

The wide game was, we were in two teams. First we had to get our stickers from team base to the other, without getting caught. I got so close to getting a sticker on but the whistle blew just as I got there! Then we had to go and find our team's "hider in the woods". I found the OTHER team's hider, but not ours!

Mum got stressed because my phone didn't work down there so I didn't text her every hour on the hour like she wanted me to!

I had a great time but I was glad to get to sleep in my own bed last night.

bowling and old hospitals

On monday I went bowling with the group. I'm not sure about the score but I know that on the first game I came fouth the seconed game I came second and the third game I came second. Not a bad score is it.

On tueseday we went on a trip to a old Operating Theatre. There were lots of things that were used back in the 19th century. There were also lots of tools there. We then listened to a talk on what it was like in the hospital. We were also gave us a demonstration on what suergy was like. One of the people was a bit to keen on cuting somone up.

partys galor

This has been one busy week.

On Friday it was Samuel's birthday. In the morning we watched Samuel opened his presents. And then it went mad. Mum was sorting out the food, Samuel and William were playing with Samuel's presents, i was downstairs looking after Jonathon and dad went out to do something.
When the guests arrived i was running back and forth opening the door checking on Jonathon repeat and so on. Now i know how mum feels.

Samuel opened his presents and we then went up to the the park. We played up there for a bit before coming back home where some more friends had arrived.

In the afternoon some schooled friends came round with more presents.

Old friends,Tutankhamun and the O2

On Sunday we went up to London to see some old friends of ours. It was a long journey but it was worth it.

As it turned out we got there early so we left a note and went to a nearby park. Now your bound to know what we are like in parks. We were ok at first but i ended up trying to strangle Samuel. You see there was a sort of sliding handle thing which you grab on to and slide across. Now i was taking a run up to grab it when Samuel who was not anywhere close enough to use it grabbed it just as i did. Because Samuel was holding on it didn't slid so flew of and Landed on my back. Ouch you must be saying and that's what i said along with other things i won't mention.

Yesterday the home ed group had a trip to the O2 building to see a showing of Tutankhamun.
It didn't take long to find our friends. We then played it until we joined the queue to go in.

I got a narrated walk though listing thing so i could find out more. It was amazing. To think it was all so old and it all had so much detail they had statues of people so realistic you could almost feel it was alive.

We didn't buy anything in the gift shop but we did go and had a drink.

Wednesday 9 January 2008

pizza and TGR

On Tuesday Samuel and William went out to monkey bizz which you should remember from other posts. Whilst they were out my nan took me to pizza hut for lunch. I then watched some tv and played on the computer.

Later on I went to the teenage reading group at the local library. It was ok but some of the kids were a bit.....well.....a bit mad still it was fun.
