Mr. Stink

I love this new book that I have just finished called Mr. Stink by David Williams!
I didn't know David Williams was a children's author. He is a comedian on the TV and he raised lots of money for Children in Need by swimming the River Thames. That was 140miles!!

This book is about Chloe and her horrible mother and sister. Her mother's dream is to be an MP which never comes true.Her mother is a horrible character.
When Chloe is walking down the street from school, she spots Mr. Stink on a bench. She decides to talk to him and when they are friends, she invites him to live in the shed, without her mother's approval.
How will this end? Will mother find out and put Mr. Stink back on the streets for Christmas? Read it and see!

I would give this book a five star rating! I couldn't put it down and read it in bed when I was supposed to be asleep!

Excellent book. "A new Roald Dahl".

Friend To Animals

I am working on my Friend To Animals badge at Brownies!
I should get the badge just after Easter!

For the badge, I took a trip to Shuttleworth College to see lots of animals and learn all about them.
At Shuttleworth College, I saw: lots of rodents, a type of crocodile called a Caiman, a Kinkajou (A Kinkajou is like a lemur cross monkey type of creature which is allergic to strawberries and loves honey), and lots of other magnificent animals! I touched a snake AND I held a Bearded Dragon! Also, I was cuddling a little rabbit and it fell asleep, snuggled into my furry coat because it thought that I was its mother! Of course I just had to hold the Guinea Pig! I still love Guinea Pigs!

To get my badge, I had to  make a little poem about my favourite endangered or extinct animal. I chose a wolf! I also had to make a Brownie scrapbook about animals that I have never seen before! I made this with my fellow Brownies and it was so fun! All of this is nearly done now and I can't wait until I get my badge! I also had to research the vets in Milton Keynes and make a poster about my favourite pet (see below)
Mam promised to buy me a sash to keep the badge on and I am just so excited!

I am a little bit sad because I will be leaving this Brownie Pack because I am moving house in May.
:-( I hope to join a new Brownie Six, but I will never forget the First Great Denham Brownies.

Priory Wild Life Park and Tic Tacs

Today I went to Priory Park for den building, fire making and a nature walk!
I saw squirrels, birds, nests, bee-hives and all sorts of other wild life! It was a bit muddy so we definitely need some wellies!

I made a beautiful den with Tilly and Lavinia! It was made from broken branches and willow. We had a fire (not a real one),  shelter and weapons! Our weapons were made out of wood, our food was leaves and our fire was wood also.

I loved the visit so much and I can't wait to do it next month! The only part that I didn't enjoy was my fault, I was on the rope ladder in the park and I got tangled in it and hurt myself a bit. I am fine now though!

When we were coming home, we stopped of at Budgens to get some dog food and stuff. I got some Tic Tacs and wow are they amazing! They are so good that I just can't stop eating them! I have the lime and orange flavoured ones!

Go Tic Tacs!

Chinese New Year!

Kung Hei Fat Choy! (It mean Happy New Year in Chinese!)

Last week was the start of Chinese New Year!

The Chinese calendar follows a twelve year pattern with each year named after an animal. The story is that Buddha invited all of the animals to join him for a New Year celebration, but only twelve animals showed up. To reward the animals, Buddha named a year after each one of them in the order that they arrived.
Depending on the year you were born, you are believed to have a character traits of that year's animal.
2013 is the Year of the Snake! If you are born in the Year of the Snake, these are your characteristics: Acute, Aware, Cunning, Proud, Vain, Vicious. I was born on the Year of the Sheep. Here are my characteristics: Smart, Artistic, Kind, Happy, Reserved, Insecure, Dependent. (I like the first four best!).




This is waht I made for Chinese New Year!

Max the Missing Puppy

I have competed the book Max the Missing Puppy by Holly Webb. There are three main characters, Molly, Max the puppy and Jasmine (who looks like me in the illustrations!).

Molly's parents let her adopt a cute Old English Sheepdog puppy called Max! But when Max runs away trying to find Molly who is at school, he gets lost. Luckily, a nice girl called Jasmine  finds him and looks after him. Eventually, Molly is reunited with Max! Also, Jasmine gets a puppy; Max's brother who is just like him!

I would give this book a five star rating!
Holly Webb has written lots of other books about cute kittens and playful puppies! I can't wait to get to the library to read the next one!
Buy it here!

UPDATE! Just been on Amazon, you can buy 10 books by Holly Webb for only £10.00! Buy the 10 books here!

I am a Badger!

I have made my promise at Brownies! I felt very nervous and worried I would do something wrong, but in the end it was so exciting! We had to re-enact the Brownie Story and it was amazing!

The Brownie Story!

Someone spent 8 hours painting the Brownie Story on a big, white sheet! It was lovely! We walked on the sheet to find the Owl who led us to the pond to find the Brownie, but the Brownie was me all along!! I said my promise and law and signed my name on the sheet with the other Brownies.
There are six people so far in Brownies and we were split into threes. One of the 3s were Squirrels and the other 3 (that is the one I'm in) are Badgers! I am happy to be a badger.

Making my Promise

All the parents came to see us but my dad couldn't make it because he was at work. Mam took lots of photos though.

Afterwards we had juice and muffins. I had two muffins!

I am proud to be the first Brownie in Great Denham!

Snow and Science!!

There has been a lot of snow this year so far. I have had fun playing in it and had some great snow-ball fights with Dad!

Take that, Dad!!

My beautiful snowman.

Maisie and the snowman.

The other day, I went to s science show in Milton Keynes and it was great; it was filled with bangs, fizzes, pops and something unexpected! I think the best experiment was with marshmallows. They put the marshmallow in a container, and sucked all of the air out! The marshmallow went so big! I wanted to eat it. The scientists blew air back into the container and the marshmallow shrank! I wanted to eat it more than the big one!
They made this massive bang happen that, even when I blocked my ears with my hands, it still hurt my ears!
It was amazing all of the stuff they did and it was so good! The scientists that did the experiments were proper scientists, which I thought was amazing.

I have been to a new drama class and it was great! We played am amazing game; I had to stare into another person's eyes but I couldn't smile or talk or giggle. It was sooooo hard! For homework I have to read a book about a lion, a witch amd a wardrobe because we will be doing this in our play soon.

I also have to practice my Brownie Promise as I will be saying it for real tomorrow at Brownies. I am sad because my dad is away and he won't be there, but my Mam will be there. I can't wait to get my first badge. Yipeeeee!!!
