Recently we have been to Saint Paul's cathedral, Tower of London, Blenheim Palace, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, seen Big Ben, a ride up the river Thames and been on the London Eye. Also we have visited the famous London shop Harrods. Tomorrow my brother dad and i are going to Lords cricket ground to have a tour and a look around also seeing the honors board. On Monday we are leaving London to catch a train to Paris that takes a couple of hours and in Paris we are staying for 5 nights and then to Rome for 7 nights. My favourite things so far on our trip are Ocean Park (theme park) and the London Eye (massive ferris wheeel that lets you see all around London). I'll try to keep you up dated when i get the chance. Have fun at school (HAHAHA)

So far in my holiday I have been to Hong Kong and are writing this at Hong Kong airport and are about to leave to London. Two days ago we went to Ocean Park which is a theme park. My favourite rides was the Mine Train which is a roller coaster but in a fake train. My other favourite ride was the Space Wheel which is a wheel spins around and around untill in starts tilting in the and endes up going round and round upside down. Our famiy have been on all of the transport devices which is a tram,gondler,bus,mini bus,cable car,train,aeroplane,car and a taxi. So far I have bought a mini manchester united soccer ball and A Miami Heat basketball top and my brother has a San Antoino Spurs basketball top. We also had Dim Sum 2 times in 2 days and had bacon and eggs 2 times in 2 days

Today I am leaving to Hong Kong and lots of other places like Rome And Paris. I am really excited about it and get to go on a bigger plane than the one I went last year to LA and Disneyland.

MY SPEECH

The Guinness Book Of Records
You've probably heard of the The Guinness book records but did you know that it was first published in 1955 and has all kinds of interesting {and not so interesting!} records. When I say all kinds of records I mean ALL. From the craziest like largest toilet roll to the most boring largest air guitar ensemble.
My favourite record is the longest hand which is {9 hours and 19 minutes}.
Did you know that Mr Ashrita Furman {from the USA} hold the most records with a whopping 164 records including the fastest time to Pogo stick up the CN tower in Toronto. Alister Gaplin {from NZ} is second and has an impressive 36 record and has the furest distance to flick a coin.
Some bizarre records are:
A man who can fit two fists in his mouth and the highest tite rope walk at twlve metres.
Some lame ones are:
Longest line of river dancers and longest broadband connection.
Just last week a group bakers from NZ broke a record and baked the largest scone weighing at 120KG - the previous record was 60KG.
What do you think you could do to get in this awesome book?
Thanks for listening

CLOCK WORK BOOK REVEIW

Florian,Otto and the baron were on a sledge getting attacked by a pack of wolves in the forest on there way to the baron's house to ask for his heart. The baron committed suicide by jumping of the sledge so the wolves could eat him and Florian and Otto to get away from the vicious wolves. Otto did not want the baron to jump of the sledge because he wanted his heart.

Deforestation

Deforestation is a large amount of trees being cut down by humans which is humans changing the world. Now I am going to explain how deforestation can make big changes to the world.

All over the world deforestation is clearing on a massive scale. People think that the 30% of the earths land is going too disappeared in a little over one hundred years.

Forests are cut down for many different reasons but mainly for money and to grow livestock and crops. If we did not have trees and forests we would have no paper and would not survive and not have wood.

Did you know that logging operations which provide the worlds wood and paper products cut down countless trees each year? This is one of the reasons why we should not cut down trees.
