LEGO van & classic cars

Hi!
I haven't written in a while because I haven't really felt like it, and I haven't really been on the computer as often.
Any way, I decided to write a post about fathers day. Sorry about the pictures not being very good, but our camera has broken again so they've been taken with a mobile phone.

On fathers day we went to Brodsworth Hall. Today lots of classic cars were on display.

We usually go inside the house, but today we looked at all the cars and walked around the gardens. 
The church is open on Sundays, so we went in and had a slice of cake. The lemon meringue  is GREAT!

The cars had all been restored. You couldn't touch them.
Fine looking engines
  Instead window stickers with companies such the AA on, the cars had badges on the front. I wish they still gave out badges instead of stickers!
This is a pedal car. It would have cost about £20 when it was new. Now they cost about £180.
This is a motor bike and side car. Someone drove the motor bike and one person got in the side car, but before my mum was born our nanan got in a side car with three children and luggage for a holiday!

Yesterday our nanan came to stay for a night. Our mum went to the dentist so me and Reuben and nanan baked some biscuits. Here are some pictures.



Not too fast Reuben!!!

A few days ago I made a Lego sixties mystery van. I got the instructions from the Lego website.
I had to make it without a roof because to make the roof you need two big special bricks. Here is a picture with my mini figures in it:
Who would think Jack sparrow, a fireman, a scuba diver and a ninja would go driving together in a 60s van?
It's a strange world!

LEGO Sky Scraper building and singing group

Hi! Today We went  to the singing group. We are going to do a concert soon. Me and jemima have got solo parts. The song I am singing is called drop in the ocean. Jemima is singing a song called make someone happy.

Today me and Jemima built a lego city! We built lots of sky scrapers, and we made a palace for the queen with the golden brick. Here are some photos.

The wind powered factory.
Darth Vader paid a visit!

Me and Jemima made posters about our lego city. I called it Brickdon, and Jemima called it Lego City.

Playing in the garden.

Today we've just been playing in the garden. We made a tyre swing and a tepe. I also sewed some cabbage seeds, radish seeds and broccoli seeds, and I planted some garlic.
Me, Jemima and Mummy have just been moving daffodils away from the path so they don't get trampled on. It took quite a long time!

Industrial Revolutional forum.

Hi!
Yesterday we went to a Industrial Revolution forum. It was at someones house.  We had to do a  speech about an invention that was invented during the Industrial Revolution. Me and Jemima talked about the hoover. We also did activities like make a victorian town out of play-dough. We also made a water wheel and a poster about child labour.

The Industrial Revolution started in the 1720s. It was a time when lots of machines were invented. Instead of  people doing things by hand, machines did it for them. Life would be very different without the Industrial Revolution.

Clifton Park mueseum

Hello,
yesterday we went to clifton park mueseum.We did some victorian washing. First we had to grate the carbolic soap into the tub. Then we had to use a pauncher. (I think it is called that!)
Then we had to use the dolly.
After that we scrubbed the tea towel on the washing board. Then we had to dry it by winding it through the mangle.
Washing took a lot longer than it does now!

Next we did the victorian cooking!
We made wholemeal and apple cookies on the victorian range. It's called a range because it  can do a range of things like boil a kettle, bake biscuits and fry things.
The Range
Stirring the butter!
Getting the cookies out!
After wards we played in the playground

New chickens

Hello.
We got our new chickens yesterday. They are called Posh, Petal and Indiana. We now have nine hens. We might have to get rid of one of the black chickens because it is lame and one of the other chickens is picking on her. Right now all of the chickens are in the poly tunnel so they can get used to each other. Some of the brown hens got into the black hens pen and started bullying them. Because the earth in the poly tunnel is really dry the hens really love having dust baths in there. When the new hens went in the poly tunnel at first they were having dust baths for ages and dust was flying everywhere. I will put some pictures of the new hens soon.

Chicken news

Two of our chickens have died. There were ill so daddy had to kill them. Their eyes looked dull and they weren't interested in anything but drinking. We have got two new ones today. They have black feathers. They are quite young so they don't have very big combs. The builder who is building our conservatory gave them to us because he couldn't sell them.. We are also getting three more chickens.
Bye for now

Norfolk

Hi
Last week we went on holiday to norfolk. My granny lives there and we stayed at her holiday house. My cousins were also staying there. Here are some pictures.
 There was a really big sand pile on the beach which some diggers had made. They were moving it back to heacham beach because it had been washed away. It was really fun for jumping off.


Me and Reuben jumping!

Today

Hi,
My sister went on a sleepover last night. She hasn't come back yet.
This morning we went to town. We looked round the car boots and I bought some books and some barbies and some Jacqueline Wilson top trump cards. We also looked in the toy shop then went in wilko to buy some guinea pig food. Then we went home. I went up to the big garden with Daddy. We are getting chicken so he is making a chicken house. It is nearly finished. I found two golf balls in the garden today.
