Story filed: and a Happy New Year

Hi people, Leo here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here are my top ten things to do when Christmas arrives:

1. going swimming is good

2. another one is riding my bike

3. reading books by Geronimo Stilton

4. eating my favourite food is good

5. playing with my Lego

6. walking into town with my Mum

7. watching the Three Stooges on DVD

8. playing with my Dad

9. visiting my Great Aunty Bonnie

10. playing with the kids next door

And number 11 is Tintin - reading my books and watching my DVD. Tintin is the reason I write this column - he is my favourite person in a book and he is a reporter; so I wanted to be one too.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time

Dear Santa Claus

I hope you and Mrs Claus are well. For Christmas this year, please may I have a Star Wars Lego set with 3C-PO and a real light saber and a build-your-own-computer and a motor bike and a metal detector. Thank you.

And Merry Christmas to all of you!

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here again. Here is a spooky story that I wrote for school news:

"Long ago in 1986 Richard left his house. Later, the house was haunted. In the house there was a vampire, his name was Fred. He thought that he was a super-hero but all of the other vampires knew that he wasn't. He tried to stop a viking who came into the house because the viking really wanted to keep the house happy but the viking killed Fred because vampires are bad; that's what they do. The end."

Until next time

Story filed: Weddings

Hi people, it's Leo here. Yesterday we were going to a wedding. We went to Bowral and first we got settled there in our nice hotel then we went to Barrawang for the wedding. After eating quite a lot of food at the wedding we came back to our hotel. The hotel was quite a lovely place and in the hotel doorway there was a suit of Armour; like a statue of Armour. I called the Armour Bob but the hotel manger was called Bob so I have-ted to call him something else, like Gary. There was also a swimming pool and a hot pool and a snooker table - a really big one. I was a bit clumsy playing snooker. After that we had breakfast which was quiet yum. I had a very good time at the wedding. The marriage was ok - as I had never been to a marriage before. The bride Rin looked very pretty and Mitch has had his wedding the way he wanted it. And oh yeah and my cousins were there - Jack, Noah and Gus. See you later folks.


Until next time
