Last weekend me and Daddy went to Manchester for my first national competition. On Saturday I had practice and watched the elites and on Sunday I raced. In my first moto I finished 3rd, in my second I had a big crash but in my last moto I finished 2nd which gave me enough points to make the main final which I finished 7th
After 27 hours of travelling we have finally arrived in Australia. The aeroplane was very big . The airport in Dubai was a very funny shape. I made sure I had my seat belt on before we took off and I had a cosy sleeping bag for when I slept. The food was delicious and Mrs Hirons let me have her salad !!
We had our own mini computer and we had our own screen to watch movies. You could watch the map and see which country we were flying over and lots of information about the flight. It even had a camera on the wheels so you could watch the plane taking off and landing from under the plane. We watched the new Bond film Skyfall and I saw the Fighting Temeraire picture you have all been learning about at school. It was a bit tricky to watch because Mr Hirons was watching Madacascar 3 . I will have to watch my animal friends on the way home.
The clouds were all shapes and sizes but the best bit was watching the clouds disappear so we could see land and see Australia for the first time.
The hotel is amazing and we are on the 23rd floor. It overlooks Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. There are some very tall buildings here.
I am very excited to be setting off on my adventures. Mrs Hirons gave me a bath and I am all ready to go ! I think the aeroplane is going to be very big.
We had a wonderful day in Portsmouth. It was fantastic to see everything first hand that we have been thinking about in our topic.
My group knew so much and I was really proud of them.
It was also really interesting to see that there were over 300 articulated lorries on the road that day!( in joke- you had to be there) !!

I have just finished looking at the photos of some Squirrels out in the forest. It looks as if they were having a terrific time. I would love to go but sadly I haven’t had the chance.
Maybe one day I’ll disguise myself as a Squirrel and sneak onto the minibus! I bet no-one would notice!!! What do you think?
Mrs White
This week everybody will be travelling to Portsmouth on an educational visit to The HMS Victory. This is part of our creative curriculum topic on ‘The Fighting Temeraire’.
In KS2 we have been learning all about what it might have been like to have been a sailor aboard one of the ships in Nelson’s navy. Perhaps the Temeraire or the Tenacious or even the Victory herself. So, hopefully, everyone will have a good idea about life in those times and will get the most out of the visit.
I am really looking forward to the trip! I expect there will be lots of blogs about it next week!
Is anyone else excited?
Mrs White
In two weeks time I’m going to be in a real moto cross race. I can’t wait I’m so excited. I applied for my racing licence last night – I am waiting for my racing number to come through.
Me and my family are going to see the hms Victory in Portsmouth when we were going to France. So now we might have to go a second time with Mummy and Daddy to see the hms victory.
I’m going to cornwall with my grandma, grandad and my cousins, my mum , dad and my little brother freddie .We are going to go in 3 weeks. We are staying in a house and I like doing that.
On the last day of the holiday we went on a day out to West Kennett Long Barrow and Avebury (in Wiltshire). When we arrived it was cold so we put on warm clothes but still had our lunch outside.
The barrow is a burial mound for important people but it is empty now. It is about 5500 years old.

So he was the first to have a go. But when i started to join in he pushed me out the way. So girls just to warn you do not want a brother. But its even werse for me because i have got two brothers . GO GANGMAN STYLE.
Today is the bath half marathon and my brother is running it . Me and my mum also my dad and my other brother are watching him. At the run we are meeting some friends also my big sister. My big brother did really well and he got 1:25:19 and that was amazing. Then at the end my mum and big sister went to get some tea. And then we all got in the car and went home. And my big sister is staying for a night.
Mrs Perry and I have both been watching the James Bond movie ‘Skyfall’ and it was really funny because at one point 007 goes to the National Gallery and he sits right in front of the Fighting Temeraire while he is waiting to talk to another spy.
I have been to see the painting recently and it was in a different place In the gallery. I think they must have moved it for the film?
