Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about mountain bike riding. At my school, we have started to build a mountain bike course for kids wanting to do mountain bike riding - I'm one. I think mountain bike riding is a great sport, it's good exercise and really fun. We had to start building a course at school because we didn't have one to ride on straight away. So far, the course is just a mowed path with dirt jumps, on the side of a hill. All the building work was actually pretty fun. This activity has really got me back on my bike. I've started to go for bike rides in the morning on the weekends. This has been on my to-do list for a long time but I've just been too lazy to do it. Eventually, we will add to our course - stuff like better ramps, bridges and jumps. I'm really excited for next week's mountain bike riding, it's gonna be awesome.

 

Until next time

Story filed: I can dream

When you were a kid, did you ever dream what your dream car would look like? I do, all the time. I really want my dream car to be an old army-like jeep. I would like it to have features such as old tin doors, a dark green pull over canvas roof, light green baggy seats, an old fashioned foldable windscreen and a flat tin bonnet. I really like theses sort of cars because they are big and airy and I really like its’ design and that they are so simple. And another reason I really want a car like this, is that I really like old cars - I think old cars are better then new cars because new cars are so sensitive and hard to repair because of their computers but old cars are more tough. So, in the future I hope I can get the car I want. 

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about the lockdown. It's been really amazing seeing what people have been doing in lockdown like making funny videos or online classes or online activities. But now restrictions are lifting, life is sort of getting back to normal. I'm back at school and my mum is nearly back at work and dad's job might start up again, who knows? Unfortunately lots of people like dad have lost their jobs and that really sucks. But there have been good and bad things about all of this lock down - like pollution had gone down in lots places and also some places have been rejuvenating and plants are growing more but there is a lot of bad stuff too and we know what that is. I hope we can all start going out more and start to do what we love, very soon.

Hi people it's Leo here. Today I'd like to tell you a story.

Breaking News

A box has been attacked in a house in an urban suburb, by none other than the dangerous terror-kittycat Miko. Locals reported a loud disturbance in the neighbourhood which started with the sound of an angry cat, chewing loudly on cardboard. We were lucky to get an interview with some of the eyewitnesses. In their description of the event, they said that they were going out to lunch, when a small cat with a sledge hammer walked into a house (known to be the house of Mr Cardboard Box). Then, the sledge hammer flew out of the window and the cat that had gone into the house, came running outside with Mr Cardboard Box over her head and she ran down the street. We can assure you that dangerous terror-kittycat Miko is now in custody of the relevant authorities and that there is nothing to worry about. Now that dangerous terror-kittycat Miko is safely tired-out, the kittycat will face court later this afternoon in order to see if she gets any dinner tonight.

Until next time

Hi people it's Leo here. Today I'd like to talk about everything Star Wars. This Monday as you know, was May the 4th and in my case it was Star Wars Day. Wh? Take a guess... May the 4th, may the force be with you?  It’s like the movie quote. It’s just a play on words but a pretty cool play on words. Do you like Star Wars? I certainly do. I really like the Imperial Army the most because they have the best weapons, the best outfits, the best movie lines and the best theme tune and they have really cool ships. The good guys are pretty cool too they always win, when you think they can’t. What Star Wars movies have you seen? I’ve seen about all of them except one of the new movies. I really want to see the new TV series of The Mandalorian, it looks really, really good. Did you do anything special on May the 4th. I didn’t really do anything. It’s usually on a school day so my calendar is full but as I’m currently homeschooling I gave my toy lightsaber a swoosh. Well, until next time and remember, may the force be with you.
