4. His train was called The Rocket.

5. His children were Robert and Francis Stephenson.

7.His second child Francis, died when she was a few months old.

1. He has a bridge named after him.

9.He opened the Liverpool and Manchester railway.

1. He was originally a miner, that is why his first marriage proposal was turned down by the father of his first love.

Those are the 10 facts about George Stephenson and his family.

Also Tanith made a lovely cake and did not at all bother to help Mum and I do the washing, drying and putting away.

Au revoir!

Today I made my own cake. This is the recipe. 4oz sugar, 4oz flour, 4oz butter, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. This is how I made it. First I washed my hands and tied my hair back. I put the sugar and the butter in first and mixed them. Then I added the eggs. The eggs were messy to do! Then I added flour and vanilla and mixed it all together. Then I added some pink food colouring to make my cake even more special. After I put it in to two cases, mummy put it in the oven for me. When the cake came out and cooled, I made some butter icing. I spread home made jam between the two layers and added some of the icing then I spread the rest around the outside of the cake with help from mummy because it was a bit hard for me to do on my own. I topped the cake off with some fairy smarties on the top. We are having my cake for tea for afters.

I also worked on words that rhyme and made up a poem for Halloween.

Halloween is where you can make buns and have fun;

You can trick or treat that means you get some sweets;

You can play with cats in hats;

I can play and say games;

Halloween is fun for buns;

I can bake fun yummy buns.

Byeee, be happy and smile every day, love from Tanith xxx
