The road trip

Slainte! I am going to tell you about my road trip yesterday:

First, we got 4 friends: Mr 4, Mr 6, SW and Z. Then we played a game that we must find a car, van or truck according to a colour. Mine was red and I got 1567!

It took a long drive to get to Owlcatraz. (It was in Shannon. And we were in Wellington! It took 2 hours!:o) At Owlcatraz, we saw 7 owls: Owlbert Einstein, Owlvis Presly and I forgot the rest. We learned that an owl can turn its head 360 degrees, they can sleep with their eyes open, the owl can lay 1 or 2 eggs.

Then we went to Land of the Giants. We saw a BIG cow called Big Snow and a small one called Jonah Low Moo. I patted Big Snow. I fed a deer called Gracie. Then I saw 2 ostriches called Stormy, a boy and Windy, a girl. I learned that an ostrich’s egg is the biggest egg in the world, that the ostrich is the biggest bird in the world and it can run 30 miles (70 kilometres) an hour!

Then we went to a duck pond. I got to feed some ducks. It began to rain. Lucky that I bought a jacket.

Then we looked at some hedgehogs. We learned that hedgehogs come out at night.
(No wonder I saw hedgehogs at my Cubs night bush walk!)

Then I see stuff on logs like a troll on a pole, a hedgehog, mog, dog and frog on a log. I got a sticker.Then we went to Palmerston North. We had Burger King. Mother let us play sleeping Lions. Then we took our friends home.

I had LOADS of fun!!

My weekend

Slainte! I am going to tell you about my weekend:

Saturday: We had no soccer game. We did work around the whole house. Celtic Dingo and I played on the trampoline. (I did some trampoline alone.) We went with my father. We went to Mitre 10 Mega. At the cafe, I had a gluten free cupcake. Then we went to Common Sence Organics. I got some of my favourite vegan foods.I watched Piglet’s big movie.

Sunday: We went to church. Afterwards, Celtic Dingo and I went to respite care with SW. We watched Dr Suess Horton hears a Who. It was very funny. Then we went to SW’s house. We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks. Then we had some juice. Then father took us to a soccer field to practice soccer. We did very well. Then we went home.

I had fun.

Another book

Slainte! I am going to tell you about a book called “Angry Animals”:

Lets start with science words for it:

Invertibate: An animal with a backbone.

Vertibate: An animal WITHOUT a backbone.

Lets start with more about diets:

Carnivore: posh meaning of an animal that eats meat.

Herbivore: posh meaning of an animal that eats plants.

Onmivore: posh meaning of an animal that eats plants and meat.

Insectvore: posh meaning of an animal that eats insects.

Let’s see what animal is the cruelest! Now lets have a study of 2 baby carnivores: A lion and a tiger. Here’s how the cubs live, (TC is tiger cub. LC is lion cub):

TC: I never see my dad. LC: My dad rules a group. We’re called a pride. TC: I eat first! LC: Lucky! I eat last! TC: My mom tells me to watch out for humans. They set booby traps. And sell our skin for coats! LC: The humans hunt us! For my daddy’s mane!

They get endangered: posh meaning that an animal is low on population. Now let’s see about the piranha. Hold the phone! We can’t study because: They’re scared of shadows. They can’t kill a human. They’re dismissed. Let’s go to my snake and cobra list: Snake 1: Green Mamba. Highly posionous: That means they have venom. They can camouflage: that means blending in a scene. It can look like a vine. Snake 2: Cape Cobra. Medium poisonous. They can trick to get a baby meercat. He spreads his hood to look bigger. Snake 3: Spitting Cobra. Medium poison that it can spit. Snake 4: Rat-Tailed Snake. Extremly poisonous! It’s bite can kill you in 10 minutes. They’re quite deadly! Let’s go to Komodo Dragons. Hold! The komodo dragon is killed way more than they kill people. They’re dismissed! We could go to wolves, We will have a wolf explain how he lives, against a human: Wolf: You destroy our territory: that’s a place where animal lives. Human: Only for farms! Wolf: You shoot us! Human: Just for sport. Wolf: But our wives can’t get babies. I’ll eat you! Human: NO! Humans are cruel to animals. Let’s go to crocidiles: The crocidile can grab a human leg and do a death roll. Do you know that 99% of baby crocidiles can’t grow up. Oohh. Poor babies! Let’s go 550 years ago to see bison. It’s extinct. Because the native Americans killed them for meals and a war came and killed all the bison!

The cruelest is….. The Human!?!?!? Because the human is killing the animals! (But I like animals.)

The ANZAC march

Slainte! I am going to tell you about the Anzac march with the Cubs:

We marched down a road. We went to a memorial which has the dead army men  were buried. A man did a saying from the reading I did on Holy Saturday. “For every thing there is a season under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck, a time to build up and a time to break, a time to love and a time to hate, a time to make war and a time to make peace.”

Some people gave flowers and wreaths. David Ogden, (Our Mayor) was at the Anzac service! I helped someone give flowers. (The man put it down and then we had to salute.)

Then we marched to the end of the march.

I had fun!

Angel Shamrocks memory garden

Slainte! I am going to tell you about Angel Shamrocks garden.

After watching Spiderwick we went to Californa, (NOT in USA! It’s a plant shop) and we brought 2 bags of garden mix, 2  plants (that I forgot  the name,)  and some purple and yellow flowers. (Our colours are purple and yellow.)

Then we planted the garden. We got the stuff out of the place. We got 1 bag of garden mix, then a weed-I-don’t-know then the last layer of garden mix. We put the plants, birdbath, log and angel statues. (The angel statues couldn’t stand.) It was a dirty job! (But was fun!)

It was fun!

P.S: The pigs tried eating it and it chased Celtic Dingo!

My weekend

Slainte! I am going to tell you about my weekend:

Saturday

Celtic Dingo and I went to our soccer games. Mine was at 10.00. Celtic Dingo’s had his at 11.00. My team lost 15-0! Celtic Dingo’s team won 5-1. After soccer, we had a shower. (Because the weather was stormy and the ground was muddy.) Then we went to Celtic Dingo’s soccer friend’s house with lemonade. We watched Robo-cop, played a play station, played hide-and-seek and then we all had a vegetarian pizza. Then Celtic Dingo’s soccer friend’s mother gave us some of her home-made muffins. Then as we went in Celtic Dingo’s soccer friend’s father’s car, we were quiet because Celtic Dingo’s soccer friend’s little sister told us to be quiet because their next door neighbor didn’t like noise. Then when we were home, we saw Teen Shamrock and Shamrock Boyfriend at our home because our parents were watching a movie. We watched The Powerpuff Girls on our Sky TV. Then we went to bed.

Sunday:

I had a cold from yesterday so mother had to go to church alone. (I lost the cold.) We watched some sport on the Sky TV. I watched Teen Shamrock play the Sims 2. When father went out, Celtic Dingo and I went on the computer. (Though we weren’t aloud on Sundays. YAY!:) ) Mother went to another movie. Teen Shamrock, Celtic Dingo and I watched some movies on the Sky TV that was loaded from the computer.

I had fun.

Inspector Gadget Part 3

Slainte! I shall continue Inspector Gadget:

Chapter 10:

Penny was looking for Inspector Gadget. “Uncle John! Uncle John?” she shouted as she looked for him. She and Dr Bradford found him in the junkyard. “Uncle John! No!” Dr Bradford looked. “The chip’s gone! Scholix could have destroyed it.” She kissed poor Inspector Gadget and left. And….. Then, by a miracle, Inspector Gadget woke up!!! “Penny? Dr Bradford?” said Inspector Gadget. “You don’t need the chip!” shouted Dr Bradford. “Let’s go!” said Penny. “We must stop Robo-Gadget.” Soon the GadgetMobile got a rocket booster. Of they went to stop Scholix!

Chapter 11:

They found Scholix’s limo. Inspector Gadget held the bumper. “Go go gadget skis. Go go gadget snow.” Nothing happened. “Go go gadget water.” Nothing happened. Claw pressed ‘bumper’ and the bumper fell off. “Ha haa!” laughed Claw. “Oh, oh!” said Robo-Gadget. Inspector Gadget was on the roof. “I’ll get him boss.” said Robo-Gadget. They fought and fought until they rolled off Claw’s limo. On the bridge.

Chapter 12:

The 2 Gadgets stood on the bridge. “You know how to dance?” asked Robo-Gadget. “I was taking lessons not to long ago.” said the Inspector. “Well, DANCE!!” said Robo-Gadget. He got guns. “Look, I’m dancing.” Then they got on the top of the bridge. “Go go gadget oil slick” said the Inspector. But toothpaste shoot out! “Go go gadget spider!” said Robo-Gadget. A spider came out then they jumped down to the ground. Then the Inspector saw a plug on the neck with a sign that said ‘Do not pull’. Inspector Gadget pulled, and Robo-Gadget’s head got off! “Wait! We can be partners. Together, we can RULE the World.” said Robo-Gadget. “Should have thought of that faster” said the Inspector and threw the head in the water. “Go go gadget chopper.” The chopper appeared and he was going to go to Claw.

Chapter 13:

Meanwhile, Penny saw Sykes, she kicked a pipe. “What are you doing?” said Sykes with a gun. “Hi, I’m Penny!” “Hi, I’m Sykes!” But then, in a helicopter, Dr Bradford was slapping Claw. “You thief, murderer! You stole my invention and murdered my father!” Meanwhile, at Riverton Police…. “Here’s the foot!” said Sykes. “This girl is amazing!” “Here’s the 1000 dollar award!” said the Police Chief. Up at the top floor, “You are under arrest!” said Inspector Gadget. “Go go gadget bomb!” He got Dr Bradford and Claw fell in the Gadgetmobile. The Gadgetmobile punched Claw in the back. “Enjoy the bars!” it said and put bars over him. “Little girl, we must put your uncle in jail.” said the Police Chief. “But Claw made an evil version of my uncle.” So Inspector Gadget and Dr Bradford got married and lived happily ever after.

Special scenes:

#1: “Hi! Follow Robo-Brenda! KICK IT! KICK IT!” Then… “Oops!” She fell down.

#2: The body (Not including the head) of Robo-Gadget ran and bumped.

#3: At a minion recovery group: “Hi! I’m Sykes.” “Hi Sykes!” “And it’s 30 days since I’m a goodie!”

#4: “This is a cool watch! Brain, testing!” said Penny. “Brain is not here. Leave a message at the sound of a woof. Woof!” said Brain.

Inspector Gadget Part 2: The war begins!

Slainte! I am going to continue Inspector Gadget:

Chapter 6:

“Go go car.” said Inspector Gadget. “Morning!” It was the car! “Who’s in the car? I work alone!” The GadgetMobile switched to automatic.”Wowzers!” shouted the Inspector. “Duck!” said the GadgetMobile. After a while of driving…. “Problem 3,O clock. Left, idiot!” Inspector Gadget looked. There was 2 people trying to get in the car. “Lost your keys? What?!” The Inspector saw they were criminals! “Go go gadget, coils!” 2 springs bounced Inspector Gadget. He fell in concrete. “Go go gadget, T-coil” It blocked the criminals way. Meanwhile, 1 robber ran and tripped. The GadgetMobile camouflaged! “Enjoy the bars!” said the GadgetMobile. The Inspector stopped his 1st crime! At Scholix’s lair….. “Nice claw Dr. Willsmith.” (Remember, a bowling ball squashed Scholix’s hand.) “And I got fake hands. A normal hand, and I know you like Japanese food so I made a sushi hand.” said Dr. Willsmith. “I need a name.” said Scholix. “How about, Claw?” asked Sykes.

Chapter 7:

After a party for Inspector Gadget, where he got his photos, he was famous! One day, at the Police Station of Riverton, he got a murder file for Artimist Bradford. He got to a coin. “Go go gadget, magnifing glass. Increase magnification. Increase magnification.” He studied it. “Si? Go go gadget, Italian translator.” “‘Si’ ‘is yes!’ “I knew it!” Penny drove with Inspector Gadget. Then…. “Uh, Uncle John?” “Scholix Industrys. The capital letters spell ‘Si’! So Scholix killed Artimist Bradford!”

Chapter 8:

At Scholix’s, I mean Claw’s lair…. “I got the chip.” said Claw. He put it in a robot. “Robo-Gadget, destroy the town. Have fun!” So he destroyed Riverton and had fun! Inspector Gadget said, “Go go gadget, T-coil!” He entered Claw’s lair. “Go go gadget, suction shoes. Go go gadget, scissors.” He slowly cut to get the foot out. Sykes was sleeping, but could was up soon. Brenda looked for Inspector Gadget. A robot girl followed her. “Let’s have some girl time Brenda. Robo-Brenda LOVES girl time! Look, I’m programmed to be a cheerleader.” So she did until she fell off the building. “Oh,” said Robo-Brenda, “Did you know Scholix, now Claw stole a foot and killed Artimist…..” “YOU’RE AMAZING!! It’s good news for me, but bad news for Scholix!” said Brenda. Inspector Gadget now was escaping until he was knocked out.

Chapter 9:

“Greetings!” said Claw. “You won’t get away with your plan!” “It can. I shall make armys of robots. Why?” “To make teachers…” interupted Dr. Willsmith. “SHUT UP!!” shouted Claw angrily. “Aww….” whined Willsmith. “It’s beacause they will all belong to me, and they won’t get tired or say ‘No!’ Every army will be made by my creations. Say bye to your chip. I’ll show you something.” He showed Robo-Gadget. “He’s like m…” Claw got out his chip, and destroyed it.

To be continued…..

Inspector Gadget Part 1: The start of Inspector Gadget

Slainte! I am going to tell you about a movie: Inspector Gadget.

Chapter 1:

A bus wheel was speeding. It was out of control. There was 50 kids in, screaming, with the bus driver. Meanwhile, John Brown, our hero, is making sure everyone is safe. Then, he saw the bus that lost control, and 4 kids and their dog was walking on the zebra crossing. John Brown ran. He flipped the dog in the air and ran the girls to safety. But the bus was going to crash on a teddy, then a building. He ran to a tow truck and threw a winch and it hooked on the bus. It stopped before the person in the teddy costume was crashed. “The dog!” shouted the crowd. And John caught it. A crowd was cheering while John gave the dog to the girl. “I would like to thank you!” said Dr Bradford. They kissed. Except, it was Brain. He was dreaming.

Chapter 2:

“Wake up Uncle John!” said a girl. “Yes Penny?” asked John. “I am just reminding you tomorrow is Parent Career day.” said Penny. “Oh, but I need this badge.” said John. “Uncle John,” said Penny, ” It’s not about the badge, it’s about the heart behind it.” She hugged John. At the lab of Dr Bradford, she and her father, Artimist Bradford, was trying to move a dead foot without touching it. “Kick the ball!” said Artimist. “Think about the foot kicking while I’ll do dinner, dad.” said she. He rested and tapped his foot. The foot moved. “Look, dad!” shouted Dr Bradford. He opened his eyes. “What?” “Tap your foot!” said she. He tapped his foot. Nothing happened. “What were you thinking, Dad?” she asked. “I was thinking how beautiful you are.” said Artimist. “Wait! You must think with your heart! Not your head!” she shouted. “Think of it again!” He did, and tapped his foot with his eyes open and…… “WE MOVED THE FOOT!!” they both shouted.

Chapter 3:

John was securing the parking lot. when he saw Dr Bradford. “Wowzers!” he whispered. “What did you say?” said another lady. She was deaf and was a security guard too. “Just talking to myself.” said John and went to Dr Bradford. “Hey! Dr Bradford!” shouted John. “Hey!” said Dr Bradford. “I borrowed a book from your dad.” said John. “Here!” “Thanks! I wondered where it was.” “Nice stars!” said John. “Yeah! Which ones?” asked she. “The whole thing.” said he. “Oh, I thought you mean pacific ones. I take things SO litterly.” said Dr Bradford. “As do I!” said John. “So bye. And tell your Father I say ‘Hi!’ OK?” “OK!” said Bradford. Then a black zoomed. “HEY!!” shouted John. “10 MILES IN THE PARKING LOT!!” ‘We have an invader in a black van in the hole of the house!’ “Dr Bradford.” he whispered.

Chapter 4:

John ran in Dr Bradford’s lab. “Justice won’t be served until I find the suspect.” he said. He ran to his car. “Where are you going?” said the deaf lady. “To get the bad guys.” said John. “This is not going to end well.” she said. Then he put his siren on. “Justice shan’t be served.” said John. “And I’ll never rest!” He drove to the black limo. “Oh no!” said Scholix, the theft of the robotic foot. “We are being chased by a security guard. Sykes! Prepare the oil slick!” “Right!” said Sykes. He pressed a button that said ‘oil slick’ and….. John’s car slipped upside-down and bumped into a sign saying ‘Do you YAAHOOO?’ and it crashed on Scholix’s limo. “Caught me!” said Scholix. “Want a victory cigar, John?” “No thanks.” said John. He lit it. It was a bomb! “Remember, smoking kills!” said Scholix. “I don’t smoke!” shouted John. Then it blew up John’s car. A bowling ball hit Scholix’s hand. “AAAHHH!! MY HAND!!”

Chapter 5:

” Hey! Where’s Uncle John?” asked Penny to Dr Bradford. “In there.” she said. Penny walked in John’s hospital room. “Hey, Uncle!” said Penny. “Shame you couldn’t come to Career Day.” “Out kid. Your Uncle is going to be out tomorrow.” Then the sciencetists made him a robot with gadgets. “What was stolen?” asked the mayor. “A robotic foot.” said a policeman. The next day….. John was training with Dr Bradford. “Remember, say ‘Go go gadget.’ and name the object.” “Go go gadget oil slick!” said John. The oil slick shot out. “Say ‘Go go gadget stop!’ OK?” “Go go gadget stop!” The next day….. “I got a suprise: the Gadgetmobile. Say ‘Go go car.’ if you want it to go automatic. Did you think of a name?” asked Dr Bradford. “Yes! Inspector Gadget!”Said John.

So that’s how John became Inspector Gadget.
