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.

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.
