Poolsbrook Park!

Image
Yesterday me, Alicia, Nikki, Luke and my little sister Jess went to Poolsbrook Park. When we got there after about 35 mins of traveling I was surprised to see almost all the geese from in the lake near the play area and just waddled up to Alicia, she seemed to back off but they didn't attack or anything but oook.  We played for a while, mainly on this spinning, upy downy thing! :) but we had to go as it was FREEZING! And what made it worse was the fat the there were METAL equipment, so, naturally, the metal was ALSO FREEZING so that made our hand even worse. :( This is pretty much the whole park, the gym equipment isn't is this photo and a few othe play things. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, it's more fun than it looks! It goes surprisingly fast. 

Eureka Home Educators Day - Destination Space!

Image
Yesterday, me, Alicia and my Nanny went to Eureka for  a special Home Educators day. We first went this show where they basically told us about going to space and what its like up there and demonstrated 'lift off'' (when the rocket takes off) by putting chlorophyll alcohol into huge water bottle, keeping the gas inside and lighting it..... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH, a load of flames came bursting out! We got a couple of good photos but apart from playing with a robot, the actual space museum was a bit too childish for me. :/ AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH! I'm being eaten! *Sniff* *sniff* I smell th-...... eeeww! Go and have a wash!

Conisbrough Castle Be A Scientist Day at Sheffield University  As you can tell, I love snakes! Being abducted by Aliens. Egg Incubating Geocaching! And lots of little Duckies! Nottingham Castle Shelter Building  Either we've shrunk or this chair has grown Hmm..... I joined St John ambulance cadets At the Anne Frank exhibition                                                       A little fun with a microscope! ;)

Going To Gainsborough!

Image
Today we (Me, and my nanny) took a small trip to Gainsborough to meet up with my 2 friends Anna and Sophie, they had recently moved houses so we though we'd go and visit them. It only took 24 mins on the train so time wise its wasn't bad, they picked us up at the station as well. When we got to their house, the twins ( Sophie 'n' Anna) first suggestion was to play with dolls or horses, I'm not a fan of either. So we scrapped that and they said about practising gymnastics, I told them a few times that I couldn't do gymnastics. So, eventually, we all agreed on playing on the Wii! That, I liked! We played for the rest of the day on that 'till it was time to go! Whoop! 18th December, 6 days left! Christmas is right around the corner! No, don't go and look. 

Geocaching At Longshaw Country Park!

Image
Yesterday, 19th October, Me, my nan, Joseph, and his mum all went Geocaching. It took a while getting there (1h and a bit), but when we DID get there it was quite pretty with all the hills! Well..... I like it! :) We set off immediately on our walk/ first Geocache. My nanny took out her GPS to guide us there, we got to a point where we climbed up a load of big rocks to get to the top where the GPS was leading us. Like I said, BIG!  We found a few trees which it could be hiding around, we knew this as the clue said 'The Last Tree'. It ended up being the one my nan thought it was originally, but where around the tree was it? Me and Josephs mum thought it was at the bottom of the tree where the roots were in the air. We turned out to be right! I'm not going to spoil anything so all I'm going to say is we found it eventually! ;) So after that cache was found we decided  to go over to the stream were a load of big rocks just la...

Eden Camp

Image
Yesterday me and my grandad went to Eden camp!!! It took us a while (1h 35mins) to get there but when we did get there one of the first things we saw was this huge spitfire!!!!! Once we paid to get in (which only cost £3 each as we are home ed) we were told that there were 29 huts and we were to start at number 1.  For the next couple of hours it was just going in and out of the huts, I found out that there was a plane made entirely out of wood and most of the German aircraft could not catch it except one. Apparently, Eden camp was a POW (prisoners of war) camp in the war time, and some of the things the prisoners made were brilliant (!), they made loads of shoes, toys, slippers, cigarette cases, wallets, loads of stuff.  This also includes ship in a light bulb, wooden puppets, strange butterfly things and a wooden bird.  We got to one hut which was a gift shop where we bought  some cinder toffee!!! YUM! So for...

Gullivers World Reveiw

Image
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Intro To Gulliver's. On Friday the 4th of September, we took a trip to Gulliver's world in Warrington where we went on loads of rides and stayed in a hotel for 2 nights, this was a prize that my nan had won late in the previous year and she kept it a secret for AGES! Our Room.  It was a very good win as Gulliver's hotel had a load of themed rooms.... we got the swizzles one. In the corner of the room there was a huge love heart like the sweets 'hearts' and there were 2 stools, again a stack of 'hearts, the main bed was bright and colourful and our room was quite small but the double decker beds had a TV each and separate remotes and the whole room was in the theme of a tree house!  In the bath room there were pretty (but fake) flowers, there was also a rack above the bath containing 2 bottles one of shampoo and the other had soap. The room itself was very brightly decorated especially ...

World War 2 On The Home Front!!

Image
On Saturday, 26th of September we ( me, jess, grandad and nanny) drove though to Rufford Abbey to see a world war 2 themed show that my grandad really wanted to go to! When we got there it was a pain to park, luckily there were still a few spaces available! After we managed to get into the main place we saw a ruin of an Abbey(!) and a couple of REAL tanks!!! This is a Vickers machine gun!  We passed a load of tents with people in who were dressed as solders a few had fake, bloody, nasty looking wounds on them.... they haven't seen my nan dress me up like a zombie for Halloween! We saw a tent with loads of world war 2 sweets and the man said that he's been collecting them but what he can't find he makes himself.... he gave me a sweetie cigarate....once I had eaten it I said to my grandad that I hoped that he HAD made it himself.... otherwise I would have just eaten a 70 year old sweet!!! There were a few demonstrations on, one was fire in the abbey (fa...

A Busy Week

Image
It's been quite a busy few days, some took an unexpected turn but turned out ok! First off, on  Monday, me, Sophie, Anna, my nan and their mum went geocaching..... but it started raining heavily as we were looking for the first geocache. We were that wet that all five of us went to bigtops and played in there a bit (2 hours). On Wednesday me, Alicia and my nanny went to see about joining the St. john ambulance cadets, we start properly next week! When we got there the leader came out and greeted us and showed us around. We looked at the schedule for the rest of the year, more on this when we start properly next week! Yesterday, me and Alicia basically took soap making lessons from my nanny! we started off by picking Alicia up from her mum's house, we took her home and started soap making but there was a problem, there was a hole in the bottom of one the bowls... luckily granddad's super fixing skills fixed it by the time we had wa...

Image
Yesterday, we went to the videogame arcade in Nottingham with me, Alicia, Nikki, Luke, their mum Emma and my nanny. First off I got up at about 07:30 in the morning to get on the train by 09:38. We then met up with 3 other HE families. It took about 1 hour and 10 minutes on the train and then about another 15 mins walking to the place.  When we finally got there and walked in there was a HUGE board with a photo of stampy cat :3!! the first game me and Alicia played on was this shooting game that I cant remember ( not space invaders ). after we got bored we went upstairs to play more games, there was this one quite good game that everybody could join in but we only got about 5 minutes!    Then... FINALLY(!!!) ......A very quick and not even proper coding lesson with scratch! The FREE coding lessons on Khan Academy were much better than the whole thing!!! On the way back we started playi...
