World book day.


WORLD BOOK DAY


Phoenix feathers
Harry Potter is an amazing story which will plunge you into the wizarding world. The story is based in a castle called Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Along the way Harry meets two new friends called Ron and Hermione, together they sneak past a three headed dog in their first year and escape from a dungeon in their third year. It is written by J.K. Rowling.

The sword of Gryffindor.

CELM FIRING RANGE MONDAY 2013

 

We set off waves pounding at our sides like hail pounding at a window. It was a boring day lucky I had my joke book to cheer us up.

 

TUESDAY 9 JULY 2013

 




In the morning it was a pleasant morning we saw some dolphins catching some fish, later they came to play in our wake.
 
 
It was thrilling the way they did some synchronized swimming for us, we loved it, they were beautiful, fascinating creatures.

Beast

Quest

By Adam Blade


I love beast quest it is my favourite fictional series.

AVANTIA is a made up land where Tom and Elenna live. I love it because it is amazing because they save AVANTIA from evil beasts sent by MARVAL an evil wizard.                                                                                                                       

You can get it in Spanish and French too.

It has fantastic pictures and brilliant diagrams they also have a lot of detail put into it. There are brilliant internet links but we have not tried them yet but I think it’s cool.  There are very interesting facts in it.

my favourite sections are gadgets and space exploration.

My year on Tarquilla

This year has made me feel happy because all the wonderful places we have been. I have also done loads of work this term and I am very proud of myself.

 

The favourite place I have been to is the railway museum, in Gijon, because of the wonderful steam engines it’s the biggest train museum I’ve ever seen and it has real trains in it and you get to hop into some and there is a mirror carriage which makes you think that the track is going on for ever.

 

The best thing was seeing the starfish at Camaret and here in marina Yates there are sea anemones on the pontoon, we’ve seen goose barnacles and we’ve also seen flocks of robins like a coat patchworked with beautiful red and soft brown. We’ve also seen beautiful dolphins, they were very intelligent and they managed to swim under Tarquilla’s propellers they also like to leap out. There were loads of shrimps [Gijon], we used a lot as live bait, well loads, but we didn’t catch anything and then we went fishing off the end of the wave break using normal tackle.

 

I love to sit on the front of the boat with my legs dangling when we are moving whilst the water is rushing past.   

                                                                                                               

It was a really awesome year

Richards blog entry


Yesterday we saw a man pretending to be a statue he was really funny.



My favourite food is baguettes and cheese, we usually get the baguettes from a boloungerie but sometimes we get them from supermarkets but the bread tastes better if it’s from a boloungerie. We saw the baguette yesterday being made. First they were tying knots in dough then they stopped it and we saw some men picking up Y shaped baguettes and putting them in the oven and then I spotted one pull out a weird machine and he started putting round dough like balls into it but then we had to go.



You get big Atlantic swell in this part of France, at Houat we got loads of big swell the swell made the boat rock vigorously. It’s fun for us when we are at the beach and it’s breaking on top of us especially if you’ve got a life jacket on ‘cause when the wave crashes on top of you then you’ll shoot up, better hold your breath because you’ll be going inside the wave.

Super sailing in St Quay


Sailing boats are taking part in some awesome racing today. There are eight boats representing different countries, some will be taking part in the 2012 Olympics. Each boat has a team of three ladies on.

Sometimes today they were a bit slow as there was not much wind, they put up their spinnakers to catch the most of the wind and it was really cool watching them go up particularly as they went round the buoys marking the race. They were tipping and tilting and I thought some would go off and crash into the scary rocks which were surrounded by the spooky mists.

We don’t know who won but we did know they all managed to finish the race safely. All the best to them for the Olympics!

St Quay Portrieux




At St Quay Portrieux after lunch we went to a beach it was the sandiesstist beach in the whole wide world and the weather was beautiful it was the sunniest day in the whole year so far.

When we were on the beach we built a castle, big dragon den and dragon whilst we were there we also played rugby and football it was really fun.

(The picture is of the beach in question but on a slightly gloomier day - it is still February after all. Mark.)

A note from Daddy

Richard was clipped onto the jackstay -  which is a safety line designed to keep you on the boat. The rule for the boys is that if the boat is not tied up then they are. They wear a lifejacket and safety line whenever they are on deck, and only go out dependant on the conditions and parental approval. He was sat down when we crossed the Queen Mary 2's wash, as were both other boys and although the boat did bounce up and down at a good angle and he could look down into the sea he was never in any danger of falling off.

It was quite exciting though.

From November 6th...

we used the engines to go down the Exe Estuary it was like a jigantonuoouummmuusss dot to dot because we had to follow the buoys.   

That night we stayed at Torquay we luvyluvyluvyluuvyluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuved it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

We woke up early to get going to Portland across  Lyme Bay and around Portland Bill. the trip around Portland race was ixxxxeriblaleauscious which means  really really really terrible in a really really really bad way because it was bumpier than a bumpy thing in bumpyland in a bumpy car on a bumpy road reading 6 newspapers at once.

The Quarries are still active quarrying up there we can still see the old tracks they used to get Portland stone from the top of the hill to the bottom, then onto the mighty ships to everywhere even America and New Zealand.

We loved the 5th of November, we went to Weymouth for bonfire night, it was really really really exciting.                                         
                                     

REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER GUNPOWDER TREASON AND PLOT THERE IS NO REASON WHY GUNPOWDER TREASON SHOULD EVER BE FORGOT.....

From Cowes to Haslar 24.11.11

I was sitting on the front deck of the boat then suddenly Queen Mary II'S Pilot boat came up really really really  f a s t  with his Big sea blue lights flashing all over the place, he said please can you bear away to  starboard and one minute later Queen mary II came along she made such A really Big disturbance that I nearly        off the front of the boat.
                                                                       fell
I could see into the oggin.

Topsham Quay

We are moored at Topsham Quay I like it here. There is a dog that runs around on the quay he is really playful. I liked it when there was a parade around Topsham because I got to get candy floss, I liked the floats with their noisy music.

It is fun living on a boat because there is a bell and a lantern it lets us be able to read in the evening.
Our Dad is fixing the back deck, when the back deck is fixed we can go out on a trip around the world. Whilst we were in the Quay, we spotted two black swans, two white swans and two geese, there is lots and lots of seagulls and waders. There is also a quay seal which we saw twice.

We went on a dinghy ride, we loved it. We have also been on a train to do our shopping and washing and going on a trip to Exeter central.
