Hi people it's Leo here. Today I have written you a story called Magic Door. 

The door crept open while Sally and I walked into a magical garden. By the way I'm Jack and this is my sister Sally. The garden was full of flowers......and fairies! "It's beautiful" said Sally. "More like lame" I mumbled to myself "there's no such things as fai.....  mh mh mh". A hand had covered my mouth to stop me from saying more. "Don't say that" a voice said. I turned around and there stood a boy, dressed on old clothes. "Who are you?" I said. "I'm Jock and I look after this garden and if I had not stopped you from saying that, a fairy would have dropped down dead!" "Oh no, that's terrible" said Sally.

To be continued........

Until next time

Hi people it's Leo here.Today I went to the Centennial Park celebration day. The first thing I did was play with Lego. I made a runway and a plane. The plane traveled along a train track and the name of the airport is the skeleton airport because I found so many skeletons in the Lego set and I used them and put them all around the airport - so I called it skeleton airport. I also found a skeleton body with skeleton leg and put it in the plane as the driver. Once I was done and took a photo of my creation, I gave the Lego to another little boy to to play with. Then I played on the play equipment for a while. And then I did some sketching with Rachel - it was all quite good. While I was at the park I had pumpkin soup, a sausage sandwich, a muffin (which I didn't really like) and a piece of delicious orange cake. And it was all free! I said my thankyous and pleases and then I went home.

Until next time

Hi people it's Leo here. Today I will be telling you about my big plans for my mini stage that I have built with my Meccano set. Once i have built the floor, and extended it. I'll put on a play. the play is performed by Lego things ands is about this little boy, sneaking into a graveyard and through the fog, finds a haunted house. A lot scary things happen to the little guy - like skeletons popping out, zombies trying to eat him and vampires attacking him. But he gets away in the end. And then that is the end of part one. The story will be longer when I finally make it all happen. I'll get back to you when it is time for part two.

Until next time

Hi people it's Leo here. Today I have written you a story called Invisible for a Day.

This morning I got out of bed and looked in the mirror and I could not see myself. I was invisible! It was amazing. I had always wanted to be invisible so I could do what I wanted and no one would be able to stop me. What I really wanted to do is eat lots of sweets like lolly pops, M and M's and licorice. But I would not like to be invisible for too long. I would like to be invisible for a day or two or a month.....wait, not a month.....three days, that will do. If I was invisible for too long people would forget me. I don't want to be forgotten. I want to be known. So I put my jumper back on the cupboard. The End.

Until next time

Story filed: Royal Show

Hi people it's Leo here. Today I am talking about my visit to the Royal Bathurst Show. But this time I didn’t go alone – I went with a friend. She is called Lulu. We had great fun at the Animal Nursery. We got to hold baby chicks and pat them (I made mine fall asleep) and then we held baby rabbits (they were very cute as well) and then we got to hold Guinea pigs (they were very cute as well!). And the last baby animals we got to hold were ducklings – they were very wet and their claws dug into my hands but they were still very cute. After that we went to a little restaurant and Lulu and I got hot sausage rolls – they were homemade and they were delicious. I wanted to get another one but my Mum said no. After that we found the dodgem cars – Lulu and I are now old enough to drive by ourselves so, this was Lulu’s and mine’s first go at driving a car by ourselves and it was amazing…we also did some more amazing things but that story will have to wait for another time.

Until next time
