Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about swimming. On Sunday I went to the Orange swimming carnival. I did five races but I didn't win any, maybe next time. Lenny my coach and Emily my coach and all the members of the Titanium swimming club were there too. When I got there at 8am from Bathurst I was busting but the boys toilet was closed! But there were some other toilets left...one was inside the pool but this was being used so I had to use the traveling toilets outside. I don't like them because they are really cramped. At the end of the carnival my mum bought me some hot chips and then we went to the Orange Park and ate our hot chips and then we went back to Bathurst. The end.

Until next time.

Hi people, it's Leo here. On Saturday, I went to see Gus, my cousin, play in a rugby game. I also saw some of my aunties I haven't seen in a long time. One of my aunties had her dog Boo, with her. Boo was so excited he jumped on me, knocking me over. I bought a hot dog at the food stand and then after that Tess (Tess is one of my aunties) bought me a roll with delicious meat inside and there was a wasp that kept trying to steal my food! At the end, when Gus's team won, I sat down on the ground and Boo came over and gave me a cuddle and licked me all over the face - it was all a bit wet. I then went to Jude's house (Jude is one of my aunties). At her house (the house that she was staying in was AirBnB) we played noughts and crosses. I watched a bit of TV and my other auntie Noelle, came over. Soon after that we went to the park - we threw the ball for Boo then they walked me home. I hope I do this again.

Until next time.

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about the Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail. I went on the Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail, did you? I helped out at the lapidary exhibit. I took two turns on the spinning wheel which was also exhibiting next to us....well I didn't do a very good job! The next place we went was the Ag Station, where we met my friend Sam. We went on the Cobb and Co together, it was so much fun. We saw blacksmiths, stonemasons and bee keepers. We had great food and yummy cakes at the Chifley House Museum. I have never been to the  Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail before and I loved it, in fact I am definitely going there next year because it is so amazing.
Until next time

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

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

Everyone knows that lightening never strikes twice, at least that's what my Grandad says. Me and my Grandad....oh my I forgot to introduce myself - my name is Jack and I live in a windmill with my Grandad. My parents died when I was 3 years old. My Grandad has been very kind to me. Anyway where was I? Oh yeah....me and my Grandad live in.... oh wait, I have already told you that! It was raining and not to mention a bit of lightning...this is where my story really gets started.....
Until next time
