Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about working from home. Now I'm working from home things are different, everything is online now so there's lots of screen time. There's bad things and good things the bad thing is you can spend most of the night finishing a test. But there's a lots more good things, like it's really easy because you can just open a file and boom you have your whole English test. The website my school uses let's us students message each other so we can always be in touch. But the most bestest thing I think is spell check -  we don't get it at school so using this is a dream coming true. It's not that bad working from home but I hope to go back to school soon.                                                                  

Until next time

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

The Cube

On the moon there was an Alien. He had found a key on the moon that lead him to a tower

that had a magical compass. This magical compass took him to earth but the people there

wanted to experiment on him. 

So, he had an idea. He didn't look very scary so instead he would turn himself into a

horrifying creature and destroy everyone and exploded up the earth.

The end.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about Prodigy. Do you know what Prodigy is? Well, it is an educational online game to help students like me with our maths. Now, let me tell you how to play: first you customise your character and then you go and explore the game world. You can even visit your friends in the game or do battle with the Titan (a big evil monster) or the Puppet Master. You can also rescue monsters and make them part of your team if you can break the Puppet Masters spell. In this way, you can eventually make a whole army. The higher your level, the better stuff you get like armour, wands, boots, hats etc. How to play: it's simple, whenever you're in battle, building or doing quests you have to answer a maths question. The questions get harder along the way. You may think that sounds easy but you are frequently in battle so you have to answer questions frequently too! When you finish a certain question you get a prize. Prodigy is very fun indeed. Well, I am off to play some Prodigy now, so bye!

Until next time

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

The Chameleon that Nobody Loved

Rustle, rustle, rustle rustle goes Geoffrey. Geoffrey emerges from the bushes, completely invisible. "Hi" says Geoffrey to bob the parrot "AAAAAAaaaaaaaaa....who's there?" says the very frightened bird, as Geoffrey tries to explain. But Bob leaves in quite a kerfuffle

Unfortunately Geoffrey accidentally does this over and over to his three friends Bob the parrot, Gerry the snake and Bill the frog. Geoffrey can't help being a chameleon but over time he will learn to control his disappearing power.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about this really fun, old (3 May 2011)  TV show. It's called The Amazing World of Gumball. Now the reason I'm talking about this old TV show is that for as long as I have been watching it - I have only just realised it is a mirror image of my own family. Let me tell you about the characters: 1. 12-year-old cat named Gumball Watterson AKA me. He's the son and older brother 2. adopted walking goldfish brother and Gumball's best friend, Darwin  AKA my pet fish. 3. The intellectual sister Anais, also a rabbit AKA as my cat Miko 4. the workaholic mother Nicole, a cat  AKA as my mum. But beware! You will need to clean your room around her as she can very angry if you don't, but still.....she loves her family. 5. stay-at-home father Richard  a real lazy, fat dad rabbit AKA as my dad (who's not really fat). My family doesn't get into crazy adventures tike the Watterson's do - but apart from that, they are amazingly like us!

Until next time
