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

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 Mums Birthday

Yesterday it was my mums birthday! I woke her up with a song of "Happy Birthday".
For presents she got Mint leaves, bangles,a book of wordplay , a big bar of
Cadbury chocolate and lots of shampoo and soap from Lush. Her cake was a quadruple layer chocolate fudge cake stuck together with chocolate icing.

Another thing that i did was making myself dinner(a baked potato) for the for the first time! It was an enjoyable day (especially for mum.)

Cubs

Yesterday i went to cubs for the first time! it was exciting because it was a chance to make new friends. Also it was a special night because signed photos from famous people like Daniel Radcliffe were arriving! Another thing that we did was making clay people. We ended up with a hundred and five of them! I really enjoyed myself!!

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.
