Month: June 2020

Firstly I went to see my granny to say hello. We were there for a wee while. Then in the afternoon my friend came over. We made our own cushions. We sowed them ourselves. We also went to the shop as well. My sisters dad came over and showed his new car. It was quite nice. He got a bmw. That wraps up today’s blog bye. By Orla.

Yesterday I forgot to blog which wasn’t any good. I was really just getting in touch of my friends. Me and my friend were talking about how excited we were because she was coming to my house the next day. I was mostly chilling out and that was nice. That’s all for today’s blog bye. By Orla.

Hi all, Caspian is back!

We had a virtual tour of LEGOLAND today, it was wonderful. I especially liked looking at the rides and the Lego everywhere. I love making Lego builds. Mum and Mark have got me most of the Ninjago Lego sets – all the dragon mechs and Garmadon’s volcano.  I’m saving up to get the DC Flash Lego set at the moment and I’m currently building the Dalek spaceship from Doctor Who.

My Lego facts:

1. It was first designed and made in Denmark.
2. Lego manufactures more wheels than anyone else in the world.
3. Lego means play well.
4. Their motto is, ‘the best is never too good’.
5. The biggest set is the Milleneum Falcon, Han Solo’s ship in Star Wars.
6. Its signature skin colour is yellow.
7. Many people try to make fake Lego.
8. there are six Lego theme parks around the world.
9. The most popular Lego game is Lego Dimensions.
10. Lego Ninjago has been aired since 2011.

After the tour, I designed a Doctor Who ride. Trouble is, as you will see from my picture, a Cyberman (wearing the eleventh doctor’s fez) and a Dalek (also in a fez) are manning the ticket booths so getting entry to the ride is a bit tricky! If you do manage to get on, a weeping angel takes the motion camera snap so is somewhat problematic!! One of the Silence lurks on the ride but visitors always forget they saw him (you will understand why if you are a Whovian like me). If you make it to the end of the ride (the cart is the TARDIS), don’t buy a souvenir from the Zygon who can’t spell in case he tries to steal your identity!

 

Today we went to Legoland in Windsor, England. We took a tour on the internet and looked around the whole park. Mummy asked me to create a ride I’d like to visit at an amusement park and I chose to create the Superheroes rollercoaster. It has different cars to ride in such as Ladybug car, Cat Noir car, the relaxing car where you can cuddle up in a duvet, there is a Supergirl car and a Harlequin car. It is not a scary ride but you have a lovely view from the top of the ride.

I have also made two wind chimes. I am sending the giraffe to my lovely friend in Cumbria.

We made some current buns and gave some to our neighbour.

I would love to be in Walt Disney World right now. My favourite disney character is Minnie Mouse. Here is my drawing.

I did some reading and some maths today aswell. We went out to the plot so I missed seeing Miss Brockie-Donald 😓

Thankyou so much for my ice lollies. I couldn’t believe I had won a prize. It made me cry happy tears.

Today I have been reading which was super quick today! Learning my words again and doing sums from my book.

 

I have been learning about Glenn Miller today.

1. Glenn Miller was a music teacher then he had a big band.
2. He played the trombone in his band.
3. His band was an army band during World War Two.
4. His music was heard throughout the war.
5. He was travelling to Paris when his ‘plane disappeared and to this day, no one knows what happened.
6. I listened to Chatanooga Choo Choo and Moonlight Serenade. I loved the music a lot and mummy is going to find more for me to listen to. Chatanooga Choo Choo sounded like the beat of a steam train.

I have also drawn a picture in memory of Lunar. She is a rainbow cat now.

Love from Tanith xxx

Hi all, Caspian is back!

Today I have been researching Glenn Miller, the American band leader. He played the trombone, and during the second World War, his ‘plane disappeared over the English Channel prompting many conspiracy theories to this day. I have been listening to some of his music arrangement (see title above). I learnt about syncopated rhythm like that in Chattanooga Choo Choo. It is not my kind of music but I know it is important to at least understand different musical types and from different eras. I give Moonlight Serenade a 1 out of 10, Chatanooga Choo Choo 4.5 out of 10. My scores are only on personal taste not the arrangement.

Tonight, we are playing my Doctor Who board game.

Bye.

 

Hello,

Today we created a new land for Holywood Studios based on Honey I Shrunk The Kids movie.  The landmark it would be known for like the other Disney parks is the giant ant – like the film!!  We designed a Dustpan Rollercoaster, a Bee swing, a virtual reality Ant Ride, a giant ice cream store and giant fish pond.  As you enter the land you are shrunk down like in the film so everything around you is supersized

Hello,

Today I drew some Disney characters – we all know how much our house loves Walt Disney World!!!!  We have created a new land for Disney too to be based in Holywood Studios – Rhys will upload it!  We have watched the Imagineering Story on Disney+ when it came out and loved all the behind the scenes bits of what we see every year when we go.  I have lots of happy memories and pictures from our Disney trips especially last year when I got turned into a princess in Cinderella’s Castle and got to be a part of Beauty and the Beast!
