My ants

Yesterday me and my friend helped some ants (who were under threat from spiders) to make a new colony! The ants originally lived near the school bus park (Which is now infested with spiders.) Of course we did not move all the ants , we just moved a good few to the stairs at Dalry secondary school. I feel it was a good thing for me to do.
Yesterday i started my collection of Yu-Gi Oh cards! I only have fifteen at the minute
but my collection is sure to grow! Anyway here are the name of the cards that i got.

Dark Valkryia
Rescue cat(x2)
The Calculator
Canyon
Volcanic Queen
Ordeal of a Traveler
Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle
Ribbon Of Rebirth
Imprisoned Queen Archfiend
Cyber Phoenix
Cannon Soldier Mk-2
Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei
Protector Of The Sanctuary
Cup of Ace

I think that they are good fun!!

Drumlanrig castle


Two days ago i went to Drumlanrig castle! The first thing we did when we arrived was was the castle tour. It only covered 12 out of over 100 rooms but mind you most of it belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch. Next we went down to the adventure playground and spent most of the day there , going down the flying foxes at least 20 times. We also took lots of pictures (none of the inside unfortunately because you weren't allowed to) and some video footage of us on the flying foxes. On the way back up to the bus we saw the Drumlanrig sycamore which is the tallest sycamore in Scotland. Now for the pictures.

This is me in front of Drumlanrig castles lawn

The Glasgow Science Museum

Two days ago I went to the Glasgow science museum! There was loads of interesting exhibits including holographic fish and a wind-up generator. But my favorite thing had to be the simulator ride which had a video screen in the front . When the car in the video screen ,for example, went down a cliff it felt like you were going down a cliff . I had a great time and here are some pictures and a video.

Remember Pippin from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy? Well this is Billy Boyd ,the person who did the acting for Pippin , singing on the big screen


This is a video of me on the bicycle thing which shows you how your leg bones are coordinated whilst you are cycling

Yesterday i went fishing with Big Al! I caught three fish ,two of which were tiddly perch which were unhooked and released. But the third was a massive ,two and a half pound, rainbow trout! It took about five minutes to tire it out and get it the landing net.
Here are pictures and a video of me and the fish!

Gun Dog!

Yesterday we we went to Castle Douglas. There was a little toy shop called Jenny Wrens and that is where i got this toy called Gun Dog. The aim of the game is to get the most points by knocking over the alley cats by using the ball in gun dog's nose . If you want to know how it is fired i will tell you. You simply cover the hole in his tummy and squeeze. Due to air pressure the ball will fly trough the air! And here is a picture of Gun Dog and the alley cat targets.



I have had a lot of fun with this toy!!
