Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Japanese. At school, we learn Japanese. I like Japanese because we have a cool set of Japanese dolls...there's the Empress and Emperor and all of the people that work for them and there's all of the furniture and two Japanese trees on the right and left side of the bottom row....and next to them are the carriages that the Emperor and Empress use. Last year we made some dolls ourselves. I did a 3D model in paper. I did the sword holder and the sword. This year I want to do one of the carriages.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about the Camden Show. On Saturday I went to the Camden show in Camden. It was so cool. I went on the dodgem cars, it was so fun. I had a a chip on a stick which is a curled, fried potato. It wasn't that good. I had a frozen chocolate milk slushy. I also had a choc top. I was very sad when we had to go but I can't wait until the Bathurst Show. 

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Armour. At school there this a book called "Arms and Amoury". I keep it under my desk sometimes, when I don't get to finish reading it and then when I am finished reading it I put it back on the class library shelf for someone else to read. It shows all kinds of weapons: guns, swords and much, much more. There's this sword that is also a gun! There are all sorts of weapons from different nations - I think it is really cool. I read it whenever we have free reading time. I like old pistols, swords and old fashioned kinds of weapons from a long, long time ago but I don't like the idea of them killing people. I like the design, the look and the story behind them and I guess I like history, which is a part of me.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about pirates. If I was a pirate I will sail the seven seas, looking for islands to explore. I will name them after me. Do you want to be a pirate? If you do follow these 7 rules:

1 .be greedy

2 .ignore the rules

3 .name you ship

4 .say arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!

5 .make your victim walk the plank

6 .never take a bath

7 .and if a crew member tries to start a mutiny on your ship and gets away, why don’t you give him the black spot so he knows what’s coming his way.

This is my painting of one of my favourite ships, the 'Golden Hind'.

Until next time

Story filed: Cars!
Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about cars. Last weekend I went to the Bathurst car museum with my mum and my 2 home-stay students from Toyo High School in Tokyo. There were lots of cars; some old cars, some not so old and there were motor bikes as well. And there were motors...car motors. Behind these were a line of car miniatures - models of racing cars. They were really cool. After we left we were going to go to the dinosaur museum but it was closed. So, we went home and ate lunch. The End.

Until next time
