Snowflakes

Snowflakes fall from the sky

Like a mountain rising high.

They are crisp, they are small,

They turn into a snowball.

By Emma Benson

A poem by me

This is a poem that I made last night about....

Fireworks

Orange and red blue and white

make the starless night alight.

Sparkle, crackle, fizzle, pops.

See which fireworks are the tops.

They go flying through the air

then BANG sparks go everywhere.

I shall watch them in delight.

fireworks on Guy Fawkes night.

Horse riding

On Saturday I went horse riding with Mum, Ruby and Jane.

My horse was called Lenora. She was brown. She was bigger than Ruby's horse but she was smaller than Mum's horse.

While I was riding with Ruby I saw Mum fly 5 meters away from her horse landing with a plonk! When we met up with them again she was crying and she had moved from Jake to Annie. They were both brown but Annie had a white stripe on her forehead.

We took a couple of photos of us on the horses then we had cheese sandwiches for lunch. My favourite!

Mum hurt her left shoulder when she landed.It hurt badly but it's not broken.

I had a brilliant day.By Emma.

Armageddon

On Saturday Dad and I went to Armageddon and my friends Alex and Matthew came too. There was lots of cool stuff to see and buy. There was an EB games store there and places were you could play new games and the best thing there was a SWORD SHOP!!!!!! The swords (and other weapons) were from games, movies and TV shows. At the end there was a little shop where Matt and Alex brought some Halo 3 Mega Blocks figures and I brought two Lego mini figure packs.

It was loads of fun!!!

blogging

Hi there all

I have to do a blog if I want any screen time but I don't really want to post a blog because I don't know what to say! Theres not many interesting things to say. So I decided to post in about why I don't blog much. I think I may have a blog just for me and my friends so I can post about warhammer and other stuff.

bye!!!

All Whites vs Honduras

We went to the All Whites game yesterday. It was a great game with both teams having lots of scoring chances. Zak was very excited. He couldn't sit still! Em also got into it and joined in all the chanting. The only bad bit of the whole night was that it took an hour and a half to get home after the match. Well, that and only drawing the game 1 all...

Ambury farm day

It is almost time for school to start. So I went to Ambury farm day with Mum and Zak.

After we went through the gate, we saw Aunty Jane, Uncle Mark, Ruby and Damon on a picnic blanket. Then Aunty Jane told us we were going to the baby animals. When we got there I went to the bunnys. Every cage I looked in was empty except one. Ruby said the bunny chewed her finger.

On the way to the tractors we saw the lambs that had just been sheared. We went for a tractor ride. The tractor was blue and had no roof. It was a bumpy ride and we saw lots of kites. There were animal kites and swirly kites in lots of different colors.

Very soon the ride finished and we were going to go on the bouncy castles but the lines were too long so we went on a rope bridge which was a bit like tight rope walking.

Ruby went on a chestnut brown horse and I went on a white horse called Cindy.

It was a brilliant day!

Test flight

It's school holidays and I'm taking a day off work with Emma and Zak. We saw 'Despicable Me' this morning and we are about to go for a swim at the wave pool.

I'm hoping to get the kids involved in this. Emma to get a bit more keyboard experience and Zak (who gets enough keyboard experience) to do some writing. If it all works out, we should be able to blog while on Holiday etc from Cath's iPad.
