Although it’s far out in the english countryside Sudeley Castle is a great place for children Sudeley Castle has many astonishing features. Such as a playground in the style of a Norman castle, gorgeous dresses from Henry VIII’s time, and rooms that tell stories. The playground was in a field not too far away from the castle and the garden. The castle had a drawbridge that opened up to a little grassy area called a bailey with little corridors to walk through. Then at the top was a little wooden area that you either had to go around and climb up or go up high by climbing rope bridges and other obstacles. At the very back there was a zip-line that you could sit on and swing through the air on. One of the things I enjoyed at Sudeley Castle was the dresses. When you come in there is a little wooden balcony with stairs leading down to the dresses and medieval relics. Some belonged to Kathrine Parr, and more of King Henry VIII’s wives. Some of them were funny looking with poofy collars and others had beautiful swirly designs. I wanted to try them on and play like I was a princess they were so pretty. Then we went down the hall into two connected rooms. The first one showed a village scene with people cheering for ol’ King Henry as he rode through on a beautiful horse.The scene was made out of painted cardboard.The lights and the speakers really emphasized the story when the lights shone on different parts of the story as the speaker told about the part the light was shining on. As you come into the next room the lights dim and the speakers come to life telling how Henry charmed princesses into marrying him.This scene was out in a garden.The scene had roses all around cardboard Henry and the princess at night. As you can see Sudeley Castle is fun for all ages, and it’s great if you like learning about history in a fun way!

It Just Passed Halloween!

It just passed Halloween and I was a fairy for Halloween! We're all moved in in Africa since I haven't posted on my blog in such a long time. So I just thought that I might do it today, well, more like tonight. We have three new teachers this year their names are Miss Sarah, Miss Jacque and Miss Bethany. They're all very very nice. Miss Jacque is my teacher. They all have apple computers which is my favorite kind of computer. Well change of subject because I don't really want to talk about computers...

My birthday is coming up on November 22, but we're having the celebration this Saturday. So I think that is all I will put on my blog for right now, I've enjoyed having my favorite french teacher Miss Sarah help me type this onto my blog for me :)

Summer Vacation!

Summer vacation is really good. I love summer vacation. I mean Summer vacation is one of the best vacations in the whole year. Because you see, you get to go to the beach and stuff. And it's only a few short days until we head for Coconut Grove. You see, I just love and love summer vacation. And winter vacation is, you see, Christmas vacation. You get presents and you get to set milk and cookies out for Santa Claus and stuff. I'm really looking forward to Coconut Grove. I'm just always so excited about it. And we've rearranged our bedroom a couple of times since we moved to Africa by the way. Well, now I miss school and I want to go back soon. And see all of my friends since they are all on furlough. But I do have other friends. And WOW, I haven't written on my blog in quite a while. Well, I guess this is the end of my paragraph. That's all for now.

My School Christmas Party

I had a school Christmas party a few days ago.  And we needed to make presents for someone else.  I made one for one of my friends, Abby.  My sister made one for Hannah, my other friend.  Hannah made one for me.  It was a handkerchief embroidered with an "M" and a little flower.  And this is what I made for Abby.  I made a coupon book with some American money since I didn't know where any of my African money was and I had a stuffed animal, too, for her.  

Here's what we did at the party.  We exchanged gifts for each other and we played a few games.  And here's one of the games we played.  We did a snowball fight with snowballs made of cotton balls stuffed into pantyhose.  It was boys against girls.  And of course there were four boys and four girls.  So it was even.  And that's the end.
