National Space Centre!

 



We went to the space centre in Leicestershire. There was so much to see!
 I liked the film show best and going in the lift to the top of a very very tall rocket!

This is me holding up the earth!

Pokemon love Conquer Maths!

This is me doing my Conquer maths with the help of Pokémon!

There's a new edition to my family of Pokémon.
Sylveon has been added.
She's the latest Pokémon in the Eevee evolutions.
Sylveon is a beautiful, loving fairy type who becomes very attached to her friends and family.







Every day I do Conquer Maths, a bit of writing, piano practice and sing hard for my LAMDA exams that are coming up; Sylveon can help me out with them, as well!

I am singing 2 songs and I have to learn the words, moves, singer, songwriter (lyricist) and composer! I am singing "When Will My Life Begin" from the movie Tangled and "Part of that World" from The Little Mermaid. That's my mam's favourite song and she's always singing it!

I am practicing hard for my Grade 1 piano too! Also, I have three concerts coming up!


I made this at Brownies. It's the Brownie Promise.

I didn't really do much to get this badge:
I made peppermint sweets and a Chistmas Cracker.
 

Tonight I went  to the most super exciting, mind-blowing Brownies ever! NOT!!
Bourne Brownies is nothing like the Brownies I went to in Bedford. We don't really DO anything.We just play stupid games for 30 minutes then we finally sing a song. We do a little bit of half-hearted work like colouring or bingo and then we leave. I like seeing my friends there but I thought Brownies was meant to be educational and things? I will be moving up to Guides in the Spring and I hope it will be more exciting!




I've also bought some more Pokémon-orientated items. A 3DS XL case with Pokémon X and Y legendries Xerneas and Yveltal on! Two DS styluses with Xerneas and Yveltal on, and a storage case to put 3DS games in! I can't wait 'till it comes!

A Tale of Friends, Enemies and Minecraft!

A Tale of Friends, Enemies and Minecraft is the latest book I've completed. It was by Jake Mayer and it was his first book.
Although it didn't have as amazing grammar and story-line as I thought it would have, it was still a good book at heart. It was barely about Minecraft; the only times that Minecraft came into the storyline was the rare occasions where the star of the book, Mike, played the game. The book was more about how Mike fought against the bully in his school with the help of his good, Minecrafter friend, Mark.
The book was a bit confusing because  the grammar wasn't amazing. If Mike's mom said "Goodnight", and Mike replied "5 more minutes", both of the people's speech were in the same line/paragraph. This makes it difficult to read and understand. Doh!
The chapters in the story were very short, only 3 pages long at the most. This gives me a great advantage in bed, because I can read a chapter without getting caught. The book was 143 pages long and 43 chapters.

I'd rate this imperfect book 4 stars. Barely about Minecraft, but was still satisfying to read. I'd recommend this book to kids of all ages (of course a baby couldn't read this) and you wouldn't eveb have to know about Minecraft to like it!

I Love Minecraft!

Journey To A Different Dimension

The other night, (when I was supposed to be asleep) I finished off the book, Journey To A Different Dimension by Demian and Stan Schatt. When three kids get teleported into the world of Minecraft, they have to find a way to survive when other players try to steal their stuff and kill them. When it comes night, the monsters come out and try to kill the three kids, Tiffany, Paul and Ryan. Even worse, the game is on Hardcore mode, which means when you die, you cannot respawn - come back to life.
This book was excellent, but one thing that I did not enjoy was that it was an old book, I discovered this because the version of Minecraft they were playing was obviously very old.
Overall, I would give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. It was quite a short book, it only took me 3 nights. (I was supposed to be sleeping...) It was 131 pages long. That's quite short for me.

If I was to be a character in this story, I would be Tiffany. She is the only girl and she's also the only person with a  Bow and Arrow. I'd like to be her because I'm bad at fighting with a sword in the game. Tiffany doesn't know much about Minecraft, but she has a beginner's guide to the game.

My favourite part in this book was when they planned a trap for the horrible robbers that tried to steal their items. Tiffany was important here, as she had to shoot the button next to the TNT with a Bow and Arrow. This was my favourite part because their was so much action in it.

Here's a link to buy the book on Amazon: Journey To A Different Dimension

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! Bit late, I know. I've been super busy with all my pressies from my birthday on the 18th of December (week before Christmas!) and all my Christmas ones! I got a bunch of Lego! Minecraft  trinkets, including a pick-axe and sword, a red-stone block, a diamond pendant, two soft toy puppies and chocolates with a little stuffed penguin!! My dad got Nerf Darts! My mom got a lovely notice board with wine on it! For my birthday I got the Best Gift Ever! I got Pokémon X on the 3DS!!! I've nearly completed the game already!

But, one of the best gifts ever was spending time with Mom, Dad and Maisie!

I was so excited when I unwrapped Pokémon X!!!! Can you tell?

Me in my new Onesie!

 

Look at all my Birthday pressies!!

Birthday Meal. I had a 10ounce Gammon Steak!! And a cuddle from Mom!

Christmas lunch at Nando's with my brother. He doesn't like having his photo taken!






Pokemon VS Minecraft

Sorry that I haven't blogged in awhile... I've been obsessed with Pokémon! Pokémon is an amazing game for the DS/3DS where you start with one Pokémon, (I prefer Fennekin) and start training it on other Pokémon by attacking them. You can also catch other Pokémon and start training them as well! There is also Pixelmon, a Minecraft mod that adds in Pokémon!
Minecraft VS Pokémon, I actually prefer Pokémon now... Wow.

I was searching Amazon and found these! A set of eight Pokémon toys, the Eevee family. It includes these Pokémon. Here are their names in the right order...  Umbreon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, Eevee, Glaceon, Leafeon and Vaporeon!

Busy Bees and Christmas Catch-Ups!

What a busy weekend! Last Friday, mam, dad and I travelled three hours to Newcastle to see family! We were driving in the pitch black darkness and out of no where, a line of cars came at us in their lane. We were so scared when a car came bombing at us in the wrong lane!!! Thankfully, he moved over before we hit him. After a three hour journey, we stayed at the Premier Inn.
Finding the Metro Centre was a nightmare, as all of the new roads were so difficult to follow; they kept on bending the wrong way and were ending too soon.

It's only two days until my birthday, nine days until Christmas and four days until Jaime comes! I don't know how I'll handle all of the excitement!!!

On my birthday, I'll be going to the cinema with dad to see Frozen, the new movie! When I turn a year older, I'll be Double Digits - ten years old!

There was a hint of rivalry in my neighbourhood; mam was in competition with the other neighbours about the Christmas lights! The sales-centre agent said our house was the best! Here's a pic of our amazing lights :

 

I also made a delicious Ginger Bread House! Take a look :
