Story filed: Another list

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about lists. My list helps me write my column and I tick a subject every time I do it. When I get to the end of my list I have to write a new one. I just think of ideas and write them down then I have to go round taking photos of things for my ideas. I'm now at the beginning of a new list and on the list are things that I think my reader will like, things that have I seen and things that I like. I keep my list on the fridge.

Until next time

Story filed: The Glass Piano

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about a piano, a piano with bubbles of glass coming out of it! This piano was in an old glass factory in a special room for art. To me it is very creative and very interesting because you never usually see a piano like that anywhere else. I don't really know what the glass bubbles mean but it might mean that your imagination is flowing out or it might mean that the music is coming out of the piano; because the music comes out as you play a piano. It could be a bubble piano that when you play it, coloured bubbles come out instead of notes. To me it looked like the notes are flowing out like sound-bubbles, that come up to you when you are listening and go pop in your ear and the note comes out of the bubble, beautifully.

Until next time

Story filed: History

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about History. I like learning about history because to me, it is very interesting because you get to learn about what happened a long, long time ago. Richard III, an English king, was found buried under a car park and then was reburied in Leicester Cathedral. Richard III had a very nice burial and I saw it all on television. Well, to me it's a bit weird being buried in a church. I thought he would have a special place in a graveyard with a big statue and a plaque saying Richard III. He died not of old age, and not in war - well it was tied to war because he was in a different part of the battle and he got murdered in secret. Some monks found him and buried him the ground near their church. The car park was built on top of the monks church. No one ever knew he was buried under a car park and now they do, so that car park is famous now!

Until next time

Story filed: stranded on an island

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about a movie. It's about a family who get shipwrecked. The ship has been wrecked on the shore of an island but the pirates are there too - they are bad news. The family defend themselves from a pirate attack by throwing logs, coconut bombs and setting booby traps (one is a pit with a tiger in there and the other booby trap is a bridge that collapses underneath the pirates). And they do it with the help of a rescued cabin girl. The father made a mechanism that shoots arrows at the pirates, to work it you have to pull a rope - same as the bridge. The pirates get shot in the bottom, OUCH! And the best thing in the movie is their tree house. I wish I lived there.

Until next time
