My Sketchbook

I was looking for something to write about on my blog and then Mum suggested I post up some of the pictures I have drawn and here they are:



                                                                     Manga Boy:

He is a boy that came from a book I once read. It was called The Penderwicks. In the book he lived with his mother and cook. He had no real friends until the Penderwick girls came and livened things up for him.



                                                                   Dick the sports boy:

Dick loves sport and has a weekly game of it with some friends. He is not from a book like my other boy instead he comes right out of my head and I am very proud of him.


                                                                  Queen Marie:
Queen Marie may be old but you do not see her in an old ladies' home instead you see her going off to balls and saving the day. She went to war once when King Ernie was too sick to go. She is not afraid of doing things like that.





King Ernie:

He is a bit forgetful but he is really nice. He once eat his fish uncooked and when his men told him he turned so red that if he had been in red he would look like a tomato.




Queen Emily:
She is the sister to Queen Marie though she does not look it and she rules the only kingdom that King Ernie likes. She has ten children and loves every one very much. She is loved very much in her kingdom and even though she is not loved as much as King Ernie and Queen Marie.



                                              
                                                                           Sam:
He loves nothing better than to get Albert in trouble and stay out of it himself. He is very clever though he will not admit it. At the school for young owls he beat everyone in the class and his parents are very proud of him.


Albert:
He is very naughty at school but only because he does not want to be like Sam. He lives in a hole in a tree and could fly at a very young age. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up and I think he will be for when he sets his heart on something it happens.

An Animal Collage

I was at an animal sanctuary last week and there were all sorts of animals there but I forgot to bring my camera and so when I got home I looked up some of the animals on Morgue file and then I made them into a collage on Picnik.



Which kind of animal do you like best? I like the dingos and the koalas.

The End of January and Fireworks

This is a collage that I did of fireworks. I did it becuase it is the last day of January. I got the pictures off Morguefile a free picture site.

 Thanks for reading.

My Tooth Came Out

I have had a loose tooth for a long time. I couldn't get it out.

Then one day one I was reading one of my favourite books: The Penderwicks. I started to play with my tooth then I heard a crack of the root I turned it around and then it came out.

I ran to tell Mum I just could not wait to hear what she would say. But Mum was on the phone so I went in search of Imogen to tell her what had happened. I just could not keep it to myself.


When Mum got of the phone she gave me $2 for my tooth. I do not believe in the tooth fairy. Do you?

As soon as Dad got home I told him all about it. Dinner was so much better tasting now that I did not have a tooth to get in the way and bleed.

Fun with Maths

Mum was on the internet, "Look what I found," said Mum and we all came running.

It was a math's site named Manga high. There were lots of maths games but Mum knew just which one she wanted to play. It was an Algebra game called Algebra Melt Down. To play the game you had to place the right atoms to make the right answers to give to the the right scientist. We all like it very much. So Mum went and made us an account.

There were a lot of games and we spent ages just finding a game to play. Some are a bit too hard for me to play but most of them I can play.

Manga high is not like all the other maths sites I have ever played. I have not lost interest in it and I don't think that I will. There are so many maths games and so little time to play them in.

The second day when I signed in there was a new maths game. It was a game about angles.

I soon found out that there were more than games on the site. There were also prodigi. Prodigi are maths quizzes where we can practise our maths skills.

I love maths now.

So Many Different Sophies

I went to picnik to see if I could do with a photo of me, what Mum did with a photo of herself, on her new blog Sue Elvis Writes Notes

Christmas Cards for Everyone

There are so many things to do and so little time before Christmas. Don't you think the same?
We are making our own cards for Christmas this year. I think that home made cards are so much prettier than shop bought ones.

First we got out lots of pens, pencils and paper. We drew some pictures and wrote Merry Christmas on some of them. Then we coloured them and inked them. The cards were beautiful but Mum had another brilliant idea. Her idea was that we should make little tags to go on the Christmas tree to go with them.
Mum found some nice holy pictures in a book and scanned them. Imogen was in charge of our job. Our job was to cut out pieces of card and stick them to the pictures.

Charlotte went on the computer and printed off some little pieces of paper saying 'Merry Christmas from Sue, Andy, Duncan, Callum, Imogen, Charlotte, Sophie, Gemma-Rose'. It was all in different fonts.
We are almost finished with the cards and tags.

Making things for Christmas is a lot of fun.
