Hi people, it's Leo here. Well, I know it's not Christmas yet but we can talk about it. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Why? Because Santa comes and he gives you presents. Santa comes into your house and leaves you presents right under your Christmas tree. Sometimes you are on the good list, sometimes you are on the bad list and if you are on the bad list, try a bit better next time so you can be on the good list for next year. Santa lives right in the heart of the North Pole - some people ask "why does he live there?" but Santa is used to the coldness so it's not a problem for him. Christmas is a special time for everyone because it comes only once a year. And I can't wait for Christmas because I love it. Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. I love Christmas no matter what.

Until next time

Hi people it's Leo here. Today we are talking about my trip to Canberra. Ok, we are not talking about the road trip or anything like that, we are just talking about being in Canberra. We came from the worlds worstest road trip ever: seriously it wasn't a good trip - it's all those twisty wisty roads. We had a pop in, sleep and pop out trip. Yes, it was that quick! Before we knew it we were driving on the road again. When we were there, we went for a very early morning walk. We went through a park to get to the big lake, where I saw a skateboard ramp and I had a go on my scooter. On the walk I saw lots of people and dogs - the people there aren't that friendly. I think I prefer Bathurst people because they are kinder and you get to know people just by saying hello. Not that many hello's in Canberra. I also saw some birds - black swans, water fowl and ducks - all swimming on the lake. I do like Canberra but it is not as good as Bathurst.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about star gazing. I got this telescope for Christmas a couple of years ago. My Aunt Tessy bought me this one, it's quite good. I haven't been star gazing for a long time, but I would like to go star gazing one day and soon. I like looking up at all the stars in the sky, my Mum told me a lot about stars. I remember a line of stars that make a lion - Leo the lion and that is my name. But we see the lion upside down - yes, I said it, upside down. In another country they see it the other way up. I think stars are pretty good - there all kinds of stars. They are not like little stars like I might draw in a picture, they are these floaty kind of thingys in space. The sun is the nearest star of them all.

Until next time

Hi people - it's Leo here. Today we are talking about my favourite toy planes. These are models of real airplanes - they are army airplanes. The grey plane is a 'bad guys' plane, it belongs to one of the baddies. I know this 'cause my Dad told me. I have another one of these planes but the propeller keeps coming off. I have another plane with a broken propeller and it also has lost a wheel - I took it to school for my news day and I think I lost the wheel there, so now it only has one wheel. Still flies though. The other plane belongs to the 'good guys'. I think I have quite a lot of planes in my collection. I like my toy planes and they are very good to play with!

Until next time
