The panto

Yesterday i went to a pantomime which which turned out to be Aladdin. It starts in a Chinese town called peking where quite a few people are introduced including Aladdin who plays a funny trick on Susie (who runs a bath house) that involves pepper pastilles. In fact here is the exact dialogue .

Aladdin: You look tired.
Susie: That's because i have been fetching water all morning for Princess Jasmine's bath.
Aladdin : Here, this might help
Susie: Mmm fruit pastilles , my favorite
Aladdin: actually... they're pepper pastilles!
Susie: agggghh!!

Also if you saw someone trying to steal something off the washing line you had to yell "Quackers" at the top of your voice and quackers the duck would appear and give the thief a good slap on the bum. i really enjoyed myself

The Animorph book series

A few days ago i went to the library and found an interesting book series about a group of people who have special suits allowing them to morph into animals that they have acquired the DNA of. Another thing is that they can only stay in the guise of a certain animal for two hours without being stuck that way. Their main intention ,though, is fighting aliens called Yeerks which are disgusting green-grey slugs. I'd
better not tell you what they can do to humans because it's completely disgusting.
The first of the series that i read was called The Extreme in which the Animorph group find out that the Yeerks have a secret base some where on earth . In the end they destroy the arctic base by morphing into polar bears and charging about like crazy!
They are good books and i recommend them!

My day at the kelvin grove




Yesterday when we went to the kelvin grove I helped us get there by reading the signs and keeping the driver of the minibus on track. Some of the things that we did when we got there was taking photographs, having a look about and learning stuff by reading the information panels and using the touch screens.
I learned about the story of the last great auk , the different styles of art and Charles Rennie Mackintosh design. My favorite things were: The Christ St John on the cross by Salvador Dali , The tiger and the spitfire. I had a really good day!

Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery

Yesterday I went to the Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery in Glasgow. Here are some photos.



We've just come into the Museum when me and dad spot this statue of Elvis.



This is a game you can play in the Ancient Egypt section. In it you are the spirit of Pa-Ba-Sa and you have to do three tasks to ensure his survival in The Afterlife.



This is me standing in front of the Sarcophagus of Pa-Ba-Sa



This is the Spitfire ,that is hanging up in the main hall, that was used in World War II.




These polar bears are real but stuffed!




This is me wearing a mask!





This viking sword is part of the ancient Scottish collection

Friday 16 November 2007

Yesterday we went to the Allan Gibbon house where we met some of my parents friends including a fourteen year old boy called Alasdair D who has spray paints. So while my dad was fixing the computer and my mum was talking about animals, Alasdair and I went off and entertained ourselves with the paints .I found a way to make the writing look spooky ; you just get really close and spray.There is a really good cap for the paints , called the gold cap , which is very good because it is very quick and large. Eventually we had to stop because we were both feeling dizzy because of the fumes.I enjoyed it and thanked Alasdair for showing me his spray paints.

halloween

Yesterday it was Halloween! When i went Trick or Treating, i dressed up as a devil with an overflowing sweet bucket! Also our house was decorated so much that it looked like a dungeon!Here are the names of some of the decorations

2 Meters of rusty chain.
2 giant Scene Setter posters.
42 feet of spider strings.
Spooky Streamers.
3 Glow-in the dark skeletons.
Eyeball light kit.


The best place that we went to lootwise was old Jean Pilboroughs.
The best place that we went to (scarewise) was Ted's house. What gave us a scare happened while we were searching through a bucket full of leaves for sweets when suddenly there was a loud BANG! It turned out Ted had been hiding with a huge bundle of newspapers which he dropped ,causing the bang. I think it was spooky and good. I really enjoyed Halloween!

my research

today i did some research on magnetism using iron filings , toy magnets and paper. i noticed that the chains of filings distorted into lines that showed where magnetism was present. when i used two magnets the iron filings distorted into the shape magnetic force is in when two magnets stick together.

A strange dream

one night there was a hurricane, that was threatening to destroy Scotland. it dispersed in the morning revealing a jewel encrusted cloud from which a sound like
" BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" came. (That's Bowser's laugh. If you're wondering what Bowser looks like, then i will tell you : He is a giant tortoise with a spiky green shell and a yellow belly.) On that day i released Mario with my conscience inside him. Then i found a Star (a small five pointed star except extremely powerful) and used it to do in Bowsers flying castle!

worlds smallest kite

a few days ago i got the worlds smallest kite as a free gift on a magazine! it is FUN to fly and it has a leopard patterning. it also creates an illusion which makes it look like a big kite far away.

The Kittens

Yesterday we went to dalry sanctuary and we saw two cute Kittens called Tigtigs and Mist. (I think Tigtigs should be renamed to Chaos.)I played with them for a while and they started slipping on each other!!!!! by the way Mist has a habit of licking people. she also looks like Tokyo.They are very nice kittens. i had a lot of fun playing with them.!!!!!

Thursday 23 August 2007

on my birthday i got a Nintendo wii .i think the reason why is because i educated myself very well. i have had very good progress on all of the wii games. in wii play i have got two silver medals and three bronze medals. in wii sports i am currently the unbeaten champion of everything except bowling. i guess we'll see later .in Zelda i have 2/3 of the fused shadows and i am reviving a third and last light spirit. i have never had a better present! my favourite game is zelda.

a whole week ago it was my birthday which was , frankly , the best day of my life yet.
here is a list of what i got for my birthday:

a magic wallet (which makes coins vanish or turn into something else.)
a mystic ring and rope (you tie the rope to the ring and pull it free without breaking the rope.)
two boxes of gelli baff (which turns water into goo and back again.)
jacks(which is a game.)
balloon paste(you make balloons out of it.)
a cd player.
two toa mahri (things that you make out of little pieces.)
7 birthday cards.
a top and a jacket.
and above all i got a ...
Nintendo wii which was the best present i have ever had (a games console with a twist. that twist is that you mimic your characters actions. eg : in baseball you hold the wii remote like a baseball bat ) 3 games for the wii (Wiiplay, Wiisports and legends of zelda..)

in the morning of my birthday i had a bath with some gelli baff in it(it was stupendously gooey)in the afternoon we had the cake(which was shaped like a Nintendo wii.)

A Poem

a poem i wrote this morning. i got the inspiration from a series of books called the redwall chronicles.

Proud Redwall
You stand high
when the enemy is near
you do not fall
o' proud Redwall
your walls so strong
the attacks they prolong
"charge!" shouted martin
the redwallers poured forth
the enemy gulped in fear
the young wondered
what tales would they hear ?

So what do you think ?

Toontown explained

This post explains a little bit about toontown.

The Cogs

The cogs began when a toon millionaire, who was paying a toon genius ,went into a laboratory and saw some strange robots. Their controls were on the wall. The toon millionaire fiddled with them. The robots flew off with the words "We will take over Toontown"

Factories,Mints and Offices

These are places where cogs are made.
Whenever toons blow them up the cogs reconstruct them in a blink!
When toons battle in there you sometimes get skelecogs.
These are simply cogs inner frame without the suit.

Gags

these are what toons use to blow up cogs.
there are seven Gag tracks.
their names are listed below

Toon-Up
Trap
Lure

Gag acuracy

all gags have different amounts of acuracy which means some are less likely to hit.

metal

The origin of metals

inside stars there is somthing going on called neuclear fission which means the hydrogen is getting compressed into helium. the atoms keep getting compressed until it becomes iron. then the star explodes , the iron cools down and impacts into an asteriod

the rarest metal on earth is irridium which is also the densest

my research

yesterday i researched atoms here is what i found out


Carbon

there are three types of carbon

carbon 12 = six protons six neutrons
carbon 13 = six protons seven neutrons
carbon 14 = six protons eight neutrons

an ionic bond

an ionic bond happens when an electron keeps swapping between two atoms
