On Sunday we went to Weston Super Mare to see my Great Grandad. We went out for lunch then we went to the park to feed the squirrels some nuts. They took them out of our hands. We walked around the park to see if there were any squirrels.

Puppet Day
I really enjoyed Puppet day, it was so much fun making my cat and performing it in front of the whole school. I appreciated John coming to our school to show and help us all to create our shadow puppets.
When I got home I set up my own show using my cat and a torch to show my Dad.
Disneyland Paris
Over half term my family and I went to Disneyland Paris. I got lots of character autograph and were Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Mary Poppins, Geppetto, Duffy bear, Flagada Jones, Chip n Dale.
I did lots of Thrill rides while I was there including Tower of Terror, Arrowsmith, Big Thunder mountain and Crush’s coaster, they were awesome!
The Disney parades are so beautiful with lots of detail having music and dancing which are fun to watch.
The Disney Dreams fireworks and laser show was amazing. It was projected onto the Enchanted castle and fountains which made it look like the castle was moving.
Caravan weekend!
We went swimming on the first full day there.The pool was massive.We went shopping (clothes) and Mummy bought me a onesie!
The next day we played crazy golf. We went home early on the Sunday because the storm was due. So on the Monday we went bowling.

Brownie
Yesterday we got our dog he’s a cocker spaniel and his name is Brownie. He’s fluffy and loves cuddles when we run he jumps up at us and when we go on the sofa he jumps up but because he’s so small he cant get up. He loves chewing mums toes and he comes and licks us on the face. He has long curly, floppy ears and beautiful puppy dog eyes. He has a wet, shiny, black, slobbery nose He sleeps in kitchen he’s really cute.
We are very lucky to have him.

We went cray fishing at Great Elm and I caught four cray fish. There was a rope swing and lots of people came to look at our cray fish. We cooked them and tried them. They weren’t very nice.
Caravan holiday
We went to Cornwall for a week and we went to the beach on the first day. We went swimming and then we went to the arcade. My auntie, uncle and cousins Joe and Em came with us. After that we played Old Maid and Happy Families.
We went to St.Ives on the train and we went to see the animals at Paradise park, I fed the penguins.
We went swimming in the pool a lot and there was a great water slide, we also went on some paddle boats in the pool, the teacher was pushing our boats and splashing us and throwing stuff at us, it was fun. I threw stuff back at him and bashed him and we laughed.
Season nearly over.
Well the season is nearly finished, I’ve had a really great year. I qualified for the European championships in Belgium and the world championships in New Zealand! I finished my first season of nationals as British number 9, south west number 2 and have won both Bristol club championships. I am off to Birmingham for the British championships next weekend and the South West championships on the 8th September. Then the season is done. Lots of hard work over the winter working towards the world championships in Rotterdam next year!!

Holiday
We went to the Algarve. The villa was nice. We had fun in the swimming pool and went to the beach one day.We had to wake up at 3am to go home.
Well Dressing
I went to the well dressing service with my mum. It was smelly from the incense.Our panel looks really good.
camping
When we got there we had to unpack all of the stuff and me and Tyler played on our scooters on this tarmac platform. That night we stayed in the tent because it was really windy and there was loads of rain . Saturday we went to the stalls and I bought 4 things . I went on a ride and you get in a ball and it floats on water and you have to try and run in the ball and keep up. Then we went to make a van . The next morning we packed up and went to the beach . We climbed up the rocks and looked at the vans . We had a wonderful time . xxxx
World champs in New Zealand
I had an email on Friday night from British Cycling to say I had qualified for selection to represent the Great Britain team at the forthcoming BMX World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand. And this weekend in very wet and windy conditions I finished 2nd overall in Wales.
Busy…..but lovely Lyme Regis!
Me,Mummy,Daddy and Ellis went to Lyme Regis.It took ages to find a place to park the car near the seafront.In the end we parked in a quiet road where a few other cars were parked.When we got out of the car we grabbed the picnic basket and went to find a place to have a picnic.The sun was shining but when the wind blew it was quite cold so I borrowed Mummy’s cardigan.We found somewhere to have our picnic by a nice stream. Once we finished the picnic Daddy walked to the car to put the picnic away.
Then we walked to the beach.I prefer pebbly beaches more than sandy beaches so we stayed on the pebbles.Ellis threw loads of pebbles at the beach.Me and Ellis then sat down on the pebbles and waited for the waves to soak our feet.One wave got half way up my leg……… luckily I had rolled up my leggings to my knees.That day there was a fete on so we got up from the beach and went to the fete.On the way there was a man balancing stones on other stones.That was cool.There was a paper mache looking monster as well Ellis pretended to brush its teeth.
Lyme Regis
Yesterday we went to Lyme Regis for the day. I put my feet in the sea. I liked brushing the dinosaurs teeth and pretending it was a real dinosaur! I called it Fred. We also saw some ducklings.
London Marathon
On Sunday my Mummy, Auntie and Uncle ran the London Marathon for a charity called Barnardo’s. My Auntie and Mummy wore bright green tutus.Mummy’s legs and feet are very sore. She is a bit sunburnt too. It is very hard for Mummy to walk at the moment. There is a website where you can track them and see where they were running. We also watched the telly to try and find them but we were out when they were finishing and the camera’s showed them, how annoying is that! Well done them!

Another Amazing Rain Forest Walk
Today we went back to the rainforest. It was a bit like home today and was rainy and cloudy but the raindrops are huge as well ! The trees are just so enormous.
First we went to see the Hinze dam and you can walk right over the middle of it and look down on the water overflowing.
We then went to see a natural bridge in the rain forest.There is a waterfall which comes down and has formed the bridge. You can go underneath it into a cave. You can then go above the waterfall and there are lookouts on both sides of the water . It was very loud. I hope you can see how tall the trees are from the video. The trees are so different from ours.
It was wet and cool in the rain forest today.
Forest Schools will never be the same again !!

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
We went to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. There is an animal hospital there where lots of sick animals are cared for. In the park you can see all kinds of animals and get really close up .
We saw pelicans,eels, crocodiles, kangaroos, koalas, dingos, tasmanian devils and so many lizards wandering about we lost count.
We saw the pelicans and eels being fed and a bird show. We were able to feed the kangaroos ourselves but luckily the crocodiles were fast asleep.
There was a magic show and the magician did the same bottle trick that you saw at the Berkley christmas party !

Australian Forest School
Today we went to Springbrook which is a community in the Gold Coast, within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. Few places on earth contain so many plants and animals which remain relatively unchanged from their ancestors in the fossil record. There was so much to see we are going to have to back on another day.
We went up a very steep road and stopped at lots of lookouts to see the amazing views of the rain forests, waterfalls and the skyline of the Goldcoast.
The forest is very different to ours. The trees are massive and so tall. They have the most amazing roots. At one of the lookouts we were in the clouds and then they cleared away to show the view and then came back and we could see nothing.

Kangaroos
Today we went to look for kangaroos. We found lots !!!!!

Kuranda
Today we went to Kuranda which is known as the Village in the Rainforest. It is situated 380m above sea-level on top of the McAlister Range, in the heart of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforests.
You can travel there two ways. We went up on the train and came back down on the sky rail.There are lots of shops at the village . We had a picnic and did lots of shopping.
The Cairns-Kuranda Railway was constructed between 1882 and 1891. It is amazing that they built the rail track in the rainforest. Hundreds of men were employed to build the 15 hand-made tunnels and 37 bridges. The train journey was very slow and we had a couple of stops to look at the view and the waterfalls
The sky rail was scary as you came down in gondolas above the tree tops and you are very high up.We had to change cable cars as we came down and were able to go to some look outs to see the view.

my surprise birthday trip to disney
hello everyone,
I have been very lucky to have an extra week off school as my mummy took me to disney to celebrate my 5th birthday,
I had a very good time and went on lots of rides and I got to meet lots of the characters to. They even signed my autograph book which I am going to bring in for show and tell when we return to school. On the day of my actual birthday I got to have a royal dinner with princess’s which were belle, snow white, cinderella and prince charming, it was very exciting and even had a birthday cake there to.
My favourite ride was “its a small world” and I made my mum and nanny take me on it lots of times.
I have added a few photo’s for you to see.
See you all soon
The Great Barrier Reef
Today was just a perfect day. We went on a bus to Cairns town and got on a catamaran which took us 36 miles out to sea to Marine Land.
We all had to get changed into special suits and get our flippers and snorkels. We then went down to the edge of the sea and swam above the coral.
It was amazing.
We saw all sorts of fish and sea life. We had lunch on the boat and then went in the under sea viewing area.
We also got on a glass bottomed boat to see some more fish and coral. We saw a 150 year old clam .
We then went snorkelling again. The sea was 29 degrees and so clear and pretty.
We went out for dinner when we got back. Someone was very tired.
Here are a few pictures but there are some more !!

Easter
I had lots of chocolate at Easter. I did 3 Easter Egg hunts. On Easter Monday we went to the park and played cricket and went on the slides.
Cairns
We had to have a big sleep as we had an early start to catch a plane to Cairns.
It was very exciting to see the Great Barrier Reef from the plane. We are off on a boat tomorrow to go there and snorkel.
Today we played in the park and the pool. All the parks here have shades over them to give you shade from the sun !
A Busy Few Days !
I have had a busy few days on the Gold coast. We went to the beach …again !!
We saw lots of lifeguards . They have painted koala bears that you have to count like we had in Bath.
It is Mr Hirons birthday so we made him a cake…yum yum !
There was a big spider outside the front door which was a bit scary.
On Sunday we went to a car show where there were lots of hot rod cars. It was like being in the Cars movie .
My first national race!
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
Sydney
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.
No More Sleeps !
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.
West Kennett Long Barrow
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.
