Surfing and Seals

Thursday 25th August 2011, we went surfing in the rain at Porthtowan. It started hailstoning while we were surfing in the giant waves. Later in St Ives we saw some seals in the sea, they were following a boat. The people on the boat had fish. One of the little girls threw some fish for them and the fishermen were very cross because they wanted the fish for their tea!

Geocaching and Swanpool Beach

On Wednesday in Cornwall we met our friends Helen, Josh and Saffy at Swanpool Beach. We had a fun day, we went on a bouncy castle and climbed the rocks and had a delicious ice-cream. Afterwards we went Geocaching. Mum had an app on her phone and we had to use the map and compass to find a hidden object. The first one was this Dragon in a field behind Swanpool. Josh showed us a trick with a bottle.

Fishy Fun!

On Tuesday 23rd August, we went to the Seal Sanctuary in Gweek in Cornwall. You can see loads of seals, penguins, otters as well as starfish, crabs and rockpool creatures.

The otters were called Stasky and Hutch and they were very funny. Hutch was very naughty and when the man who was feeding them, went into their garden, he clung onto his trousers and nibbled his boots and toes!!!

I liked being able to hold the crabs and starfish. There was a hermit crab as well, who kept hiding in his shell.

The seals were very cute and nosey. They tried to get fish from us but we didn't have any!

Billie Elliot

On Wednesday before I went to see Bille Elliot, I made some blackberry jelly jam with my friend Tasha. It was delicious. Her mum and my mum made some scones to go with it. Yum Yum Yum

Billie Elliot was smashing, cool and I loved it .There were some very sad bits, where he talked to his dead mum. Some very funny bits when he dressed up with his friend in his sisters clothes and there was amazing dancing, including some backflips, cartwheels and a somersault off the wall.

Off to Oz

Tuesday evening, we went to see The Wizard of Oz. It was amazing, it was like being in a DVD! The tornado was the coolest thing ever and the cutest thing ever was Toto!

A real dog on the stage!

There was a really weird bit when the witch had ballet dancers in her castle and she was screaming.

My favourite characters were Dorothy and Glinda+The crazy witch.

My favourite scene is at the end when Dorothys wardrobe door swings open and the ruby red shoes are there!!

Crazy for You

On Monday I went to see Crazy for You at the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park. My favourite part was when Bobby the main character dressed up as Mr Zangler. It was so funny because when the real Mr Zangler came it looked like there were 2 Zanglers.

The music and the singing were fantastic. The costumes were amazing, in fact the whole theatre was raised with music and laughter.

We had visitors during the show. They were fireflies!!! They lighted up the whole theatre and made it extra super special. x

Sunday in the Woods

Today we went to the woods. It wasn't an ordinary wood it was a "magical" wood.

There were lots of special trees, like the Wonky Wizard Tree, The Woodland Wheel, The Rainbow Tree and the Bridge of Trust!

We found a tree that wasn't just any tree it was a Teepee tree, and we helped to make it more magical by adding more branches.

We also found Badgers Gorge ( A gigantic badgers home) and Hollywood world and Stone Mountain. What a busy day. When we got home we made scones to celebrate a magical day. Phew!!!!

Buzziful !

These are some funky bee hives we found in a market in Brantone in France. The man was very kind and let us taste some of his honey. It was was spectacularly tasteful.

Caketastic !

Afternoon tea. Every day after swimming we had tea and scones and sometimes we had cakes or macaroons a well.

Yum yum ! xxxx

Pool Time

Back to the pool.

This is Dadones pool in France. It is the most wonderful place in the world, ( well in France!).

Grandpa Richard let us swim everyday and we played the most wonderful games.

Lucy is the cheekiest grown up I've ever met and is really really naughty and fun. Once in the pool she chased me until I collapsed exhausted!

Cats Cats Cats

My friends have two cats. Totty Ann is a house cat and loves being inside in the shade. Their other cat is black and called Henry and he thinks he is a supercat. He loves the outdoors and to go hunting in the long grass. While we were there he caught two shrews, three lizards, a black bird and a beautiful woodpecker. We don't think he actually caught the woodpecker we think he found it and brought it to us to show off.

Bonjour France

Bonjour,

This summer I went to France. I had a great time staying at my friends Milla and Pia's house.

It is surrounded by fields of sunflowers and Pia and I painted some flowers. I love the sunflowers because they make me feel happy.
