Hi people, it's Leo here.Today I'm going to talk about an art exhibition me and my mum and my Godmother Fiona, took. The exhibition was Vincent Van Gogh's artwork. Vincent Van Gogh really liked Seasons. He did quite a lot of artwork for each season. The first season was Autumn - I really liked the autumn paintings. They had dark autumn colours in them. The next season was winter - in winter he used plain dark colours, no light in them, no green, no autumn colours just dark colours. The next season was spring. in his paintings, he had light colours this time - he used green and blue and yellow. The last season was summer - in one of his paintings he painted a self portrait. I thought his self portrait was good - nice expression. My favourite one of them all was this vase full of bright flowers. Someday I might try to paint it myself.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here.Today I'm going to talk about an old house I stayed in when I was travelling. I have stayed in the house before, it is quite a nice house, I have to say. Last time I stayed there, I stayed in a room that had a verandah with a view of the garden - it was a good view. But this time we stayed in a tower room. It had one big bed for mum and dad and two small beds, I chose the one on the corner near the window. I wish I had big brother to share the other bed and so I don't get lonely. That night at the hotel, I also had a very big, tasty dinner.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here.Today we are talking about my picture. In this picture there's a big Lava Monster with five arms, cat like eyes and Kraken like teeth. In the picture the Lava Monster is trying to eat one of the four penguins from the movie Penguins of Madagascar. I am a very big fan of the Penguins of Madagascar. I am also writing a comic book about them called Penguin Wars. I know their names off by heart; there's Rico, Skipper, Kowalski and cute little Private. The only way this monster will die is, if it is stabbed in the brain. In the picture, the monster is trying to eat Rico. Skipper has cut off the monster hand that that was holding him and he then stabs the monster in the brain to save Rico. Here is a little detail that describes the penguins: Rico the regurgitator, Skipper the fearless leader, Kowalski the penguin with a plan and Private the sensitive penguin.

Until next time

Story filed: Harry Potter books

Hi people it's Leo here.Today we are talking about (dramatic pause...) Harry Potter. Some of you may be very familiar with Harry Potter but some of you might not. I haven't seen or read much of Harry Potter myself but I know what it is about. Not too long ago my Mum got me two Harry Potter books. My mum said they are the special ones with pictures. I have seen very little of the Harry Potter movies but one movie I did watch.......well, it wasn't that scary; it wasn't really scary at all. I don't think they are meant to be scary as they a just a story about a boy who has amazing adventures. The two books I have are Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I think they are good.

Until next time
