Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about my friend Sam's dad who sells miniature train parts and has......um, I think four steam trains. One day he bought one into school to show the class. It was exactly like a real steam train and it could even work like a real steam train. In class, we are doing a tea and sugar train project. The tea and sugar train was a train that delivered food to people in the desert. And every year is also brought Santa along too. Me and my friend Sam did the the important parts of the tea and sugar train drawing - then we drew another engine to help push the tea and sugar train and all it's carriages to wherever it is going. Sam did the steam engine at the front and I did the coal pit. The coal pit is the carriage that holds all the coal for the steam train. Then, together, Sam and I did the other engine which was a diesel engine for the train. When Sam's dad brought in his epic model train to school I learnt something that day: the engine was nearly 1m long and 20cm wide. I hope Sam's dad brings in a model train again.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Lego. I LOVE Lego. I have spent the morning watching video clips of Lego plane crashes, then a battle (pirates versus soldiers, pirates won) then a bit of Lego Jack Sparrow, then mum mum told me to get off my dad's phone so I can do my column. Lego sets I really, really, really want are: Lego planes, Lego trains, Lego ships and Lego cars. When I say Lego, I mean Lego trucks and cars and racing cars and stuff like that. I guess any Lego sets are fine. I also like miniature stuff and I watch that stuff online but I'm talking about Lego today...anyway, I like watching Lego video clips they are the best.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Ben Chilfley's train. At Bathurst railway station, is Ben Chifley's own train engine that he drive before he became Prime Minister of Australia. Near the train was an old railway signal. I think it used to help move the train to where it is today and then a couple of months later the Council decided to fix up the train signal and also the old house on the right as you enter the train station...and also the car park behind it. I think it's a great idea! What do you think?

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to tell you a story....

The astronauts were getting closer to the escape hatch but the alien was closer. When the astronauts got there, the alien ran away for some strange reason. While the astronauts were breaking the metal bars to the escape hatch, their robot accidently got himself caught in some wires and stuff which was attached to an old rocket. He. Went.Crazy. Aaarghhhh!!!! All of a sudden the rocket stopped. Uh oh, crash! Luckly the astronauts had cut all the wires. So, in the end the two astronauts and their robot were safe. 

Until next time
