Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about offering a helping hand. Do you give a helping hand at home or in public? I sometimes give a helping hand at home and at school. What do you do that is a helping hand and where do you do it? What about animals and the ecosystem? 

I think I have a good idea:

1. We could stop littering. It affects animals on land and in water and the earth. Have you SEEN the piles of rubbish that go to land fill? It is ginormous!

2. We could stop using plastic and packaging and start using biodegradable plastic

3. We could start using electric and solar powered cars

That is how I think we can give the animals and the ecosystem a helping hand. 

And remember to give a helping hand where ever you are.

Until next time.

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about story books. Stories have been around for a long time, passed down to generation to generation.You're probably aware of the story of Sleeping Beauty, Snow White or Hansel and Gretel or Little Red Riding Hood...and these are just a few. Stories have been made into books and movies too, like Beauty and the Beast. Stories haven't always been in books. Take the Aboriginal's, their dream time stories are mouth to ear, mouth to ear. But today, we write it in a book. I read lots of books. What is your favorite book? And what is it about?

Until next time.

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Botany Bay. I stopped for a play on the small beach while I was in Sydney and when I looked around, what I saw is very different to what it was when there were no cars or roads or shops. I think I like the view in my imaginations better. Still, it was fun.

Until next time.

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about Mitch's 30th birthday. Mitch is my cousin. It was a 5 hour trip in the car for us but when we got there it was really fun. There were bubble balls - they are like a big blow up ball with a hole in the middle that you climb in, and there's a handle you hold onto. I had a go but got knocked around a lot! We had a a roasted pig on the spit and it was pretty good. There was also a roaring fire in the fire pit. When we  were leaving there was a really big kangaroo in the front yard. He was very furry. We stayed that night at my aunty and uncle's house. My mum slept in the spare room and I slept in their studio on a fold out. We watched some TV before bed. I read some books then I went to to sleep. The next day we had breakfast and then my mum and my aunty Tess went to Mitre 10 to get some house paint. I stayed home with my uncle Erik and watched some more TV! When they got back, we left for Bathurst. I was sad to leave and a nearly left some of my stuff behind. If it wasn't for my uncle Erik finding it, I would have. I hope I see everyone again soon.

Until next time.
