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

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!
