I’m round and orange,
I have a stalk,
Carve me a mouth and it looks like I can talk,
I’m a carriage in a movie.
What am I?
Day 3 and 4
Day 3 Friday
Today I went to look at a school called Deanmore primary. It used to have the same colours as Harry Potter but now it’s all new and blue.
Mrs Jo chatted to us and she was nice and the other lady gave us a tour and took us to the classroom. The teacher was very nice and told me the tyres in the playground were painted different colours because spiders don’t like bright colours so won’t hide in them also you don’t burn your fingers. The children have lots of fun playing and stuff. We are going to do the book fair at the school on Tuesday. It’s much bigger than Berkley and really fun. Then we went to Hillarys that is a harbour and we made a wish on spinning dolphins but it’s a secret what I wished for.
Day 4 Saturday
Today it’s my mums birthday and the babies are crying but daddy has gone with uncle Doug to get a car and we are going to see kangaroos later at Yanchap national park.
The Journey and Days 1 and 2
Journey Monday -Wednesday.
Hi everyone in squirrels and the teachers, I am in Australia and Perth. It took one whole day and night to get here. I liked the games and movies on the plane and watched inside out. I had my own TV which came up from under the seat. It was cool but you had to wear headphones. The babies had cots on the wall in front of mummy and daddy. It was past the middle of the night when we got here it was dark. Daddy left a suitcase in the car park and mummy was upset because it was all the twins clothes. They had to wear my cousin Hugo’s which don’t fit him now. We got it back the next day .
Day 1. Wednesday.
I stayed in bed until 12 o clock because of jet lag I think, then when I woke up I had some cereal then I jumped in the pool. It was raining though and mum kept on saying “are you warm enough? It’s a bit chilly today”. I was ok though cos the water was warm and the sun kept on coming out. We picked my cousin Ella up from school which has 3 massive swimming pools but no boys allowed.
Day 2 Thursday
We walked to the shops today. They are really big and up a big hill. I bought some new clothes with my money and mummy got me some too. I saw a Dr Who chess set and sonic screwdrivers but mummy said wait until the end to see if I have some dollars left. They have different dollars here to America but I have extra dollars now because my tooth fell out and the Australian tooth fairy came and have me $2. We went to the beach to watch the sun setting and I went in the sea with big water and also my legs got rough on them from the sand and water. It was really, really very sore. I had to take my shorts off and walk in my pants. I expect everyone will laugh at that. Then we had chips to get warm and got a taxi home. Oh and I fell over and scraped my knee, my elbow, my hands and my side on the first day but I am ok now.
My swimming gala!
on Saturday I went to a gala at weston-super-mare when I got there i
was terrified because just then dad said
that I should not really be here. you have to be 9 and over.
i only had 2 races to do but it was Reley races and I am quite bad at them
and you were supposed to be 9 or over so I came last in those
but I did have a lot of fun because I met my friends from squad so of course I had fun even if i didn’t win.
anyway. Mia

Regional championships
last weekend Finlay and I raced at the regional Championships in Exeter. It was Finlay’s first championship and He really wanted to finish on the podium. He rode really well and made the Final after getting two 1sts and a 2nd in his qualifying rounds. He tried so hard but just missed out on 3rd by half a wheel, I was very proud of him.
This was my 3rd championships and I had finished 2nd both times before. I was determined this time that was going to win it. Like Finaly I had 2 wins and a 2nd in my qualifiers and knew I had to give it all to stand a chance. The gate dropped and I snapped first and hit the first corner at the front. I led all the way and going intomthe last corner where my dad was standing, I wanted to shout to him the I was going to do it but I knew I needed to concentrate to the end. It was a great feeling to finally have the title and the SW1 plate.
Finlay’s holiday
During my Holiday i went to Belgium with my family. We stayed at a place called Molenheidestraat ( Like a Centre parcs). We had loads of fun, it had a great pool with massive slides and a huge indoor and outdoor play park. I watched Harri race which was fun and spent lots of time with my friend Jenson.
I raced at the British Championship when I got home and was really unlucky not to make the final against the top riders, just getting knocked out in the Semi finals. Really Happy to finish in the 12 in the country this year and hopefully finish even higher this year. I have been signed to the same team as my brother and am looking forward to next season.
Hope you all had a great time!!
Harrison’s holidays
During my holidays I was lucky enough to be selected to be part of the Great Britain squad to travel to Zolder in Belgium for the Bmx world championships. The weather was really hot and the track was inside “Spa” Formula 1 race circuit and we parked on the race track.
Daddy had told me that there was a big first jump and decided that if I wanted to do well I would have to jump it. In practice I hopped in and out of it a couple of times and then just went for it!
When it came to race day I cleared the jump and was leading my first race of the championships. I had a Japanese rider, 2 Belgiuns, Chech Republic, Netherlands,Spanish, and a Columbian. I finished 2nd in my first 3 races but made a mistake in the knockout stages and unfortunately got knocked out. I had a really great time and my best Bmx buddy became world champion!
When we got home I raced at the British championships, I won my first race and made it all the way to the semi finals against all the best British riders. I’ve had a great season except for a few crashes. I have signed for a new team next year and have a new sponsor, so I’m already excited about next season. Hope you all had a great Holiday!
London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Tuesday we went to London. When we got there we went to a restaurant called Zizzi’s by the river Thames. On Wednesday we went to the Transport museum and after we went to the theatre to see Horrible Histories. I bought a box of stickers and a jumbo pencil. On Thursday we went to the Tower of London, we saw the crown jewels.

It flew into the window.I ran over to Mummy and said MUMMY THERE IS A BABY BIRD THAT HAS FLEW INTO THE WINDOW!!!!!!!!So Mummy said to go and tell Daddy.I told Daddy so he got into his clothes because he was still in his pj’s. Daddy went outside and said to me and Rosie don’t come outside because we could scare the bird. Daddy came back and said can you see all those birds that are looking all over him if I go and bring him in to rescue him all those birds will get angry so we left him for a bit. Then we went outside again and Daddy moved him gently. Rosie said can we take him to the vets. Nooo we all shouted!!!!!! Daddy moved the hose then he flew away, back to his family.

My Half Term
I’ve had a really exciting half term. First I went to a fostering workshop and it was a nature hunt , which was really good. Then it was my dads birthday and we went to Bath for the day shopping. Then ……….. Saturday came which was my birthday. I got lots of presents but best of all mum and dad surprised me and I got tickets to go to the Harry Potter Studios. Even better we were leaving in two hours !!! It was amazing and I got a Harry Potter wand , but the best thing was when we got there they asked if anyone had a birthday, I said YESSSSS and I got to open the doors to the great hall. I can’t wait to see my best friend Jamie because he sent me a birthday text to my mum. Hope you all had a great half term like me.
Hello Everyone at Berkley School
I had a very long journey with Mrs Hirons going in a car, on a train, then on a coach and then finally an aeroplane. I had lots of sleeps on the plane and we watched lots of movies. Paddington Bear was my favourite and I had ice cream too. We could always see where we were flying on the screen and when we landed there was a camera under the plane to watch the wheels go down.
We went to Hong Kong first and it was very hot and rainy there. We then went to Australia. It was very exciting to go to School to get Jack and Ella and see lots of children. We have been to lots of beaches . We went whale and dolphin watching but we didn’t see any . This was at Byron Bay which is the most easterly point of Australia. We went to a place called Paradise point for lunch and when we came out there were about 30 Ferrari cars . I couldn’t choose my favourite.
We then went up the Q1 which is the tallest building on the Goldcoast . The views were amazing ! It has the fastest lift in Australia and you can watch a film of it going up and down while you are in it which is really weird.
We went for a walk in the bush to try and find some of my relatives . We haven’t seen any yet as I think they are hiding at the moment. We will keep kangaroo spotting.
I have been to football matches and netball matches with the children and Jack scored a goal and Ella’s team won 15-3 and she won girl of the match.
We are now off to stay in Brisbane for a few days and then going to Rockhampton where there is a crocodile park . I hope they feed them before I get there !
They are also filming Pirates of the Carribean here at the moment so we are hoping to go and see the film set and see the Pirates.
I hope you have lots of fun on your school trip to the castle and send me lots of questions and messages.
lots of love from
Mrs Hirons and Roo !
Year 3 rugby tournament
On May 20th 2015, 11 year 3 children took part in the annual Frome schools Tag Rugby Tournament, which is usually for year 4 children. The weather was rather chilly yet sunny and much better than the rest of the week. The children all played brilliantly and gave it there all! There were some close matches and they certainly saved the best till he last match where they won 5-2, with tries from Mia, Henry, Billy, Rowan and Katie. All the parents and Miss P cheered and shouted encouragement throughout while Mr Groves did super coaching, subbing and gave the children great advice.
Thank you to all who took part. The children represented Berkley brilliantly! Next year the children will be challenging for the title! Come on Berkley!

The next day Lily went home. So time to go to my worst part of the holiday when my family, so me, Elliot,Mum and Dad went to Becky, Neil ,William and Alex’s house. We went to the park and I used the stomp rocket that William got for his birthday and I jumped on it and landed on my foot funny and I couldn’t walk on it. So the next day Mum took me to the doctors and they looked at it and said that they think I’ve sprained some ligaments in my foot so I was put on crutches for a few days. We went to Leah’s house for a Easter egg hunt and still managed to do the Easter egg hunt.
It was a fun Easter holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday my friend Taylor and I went into the Velodrome and watched the British sprint team racing. After they finished they started talking to us about our racing. They signed my Great Britain race shirt and let me sit on their bikes and wear their shoes. When I am 10 they have invited me back to ride with them.

We had pizza for tea my favourite. Me and Gracie-May had pepperoni and the boys had just cheese and tomato. After me and Gracie-May went upstairs to watch a movie we watched my favourite movie WALKING ON SUNSHINE (Mine and Gracie-Mays to be fair!!) We also made loom bands while watching the movie. When my mum came up and said ” You can jump into bed and read”. But me and Gracie-May went on our iPods. I looked at some cute and cool pics and Gracie-May watched a video on you tube. We stayed up till 11:30 which was cool. The next day I went to Gracie-Mays for a bit I was supposed to sleep but we had some friends staying for the weekend so I just had lunch there. Gracie-Mays cousins where there for lunch as well. There names were Gabby, Jack and Robin.

The next day we went to longleat first . we went on the rocking rhino next the boys did deadly 60 and the girls went to the shop and I bought a flamingo pen which looks really cool. We went in the adventure castle which was really , really fun. After that we went round the safari park it took a really long time to get round the lion bit and it was one of the smallest enclosures because a lion was to near to the gate they were not allowed to open it. But we got there in the end. My favourite animal was the wolves because they were like really big dogs and they looked really cuddly soft and fun to play with. When we got home we had tea( I forgot what we had) after me Lucas and Elliot watched a movie together and when we had to turn the telly off my mum said that I was allowed to sleep with the boys because the first night I was the only one who slept by myself so I got to sleep with the boys.
