Kite making at Old Sarum

Today we made kites at Old Sarum. 

Its near Salisbury and was a Roman Fort.

The kites where made out of plastic and where very easy to make.

These kites worked really well and we had help for making them. English heritage and National Trust are very good with kids and do a whole heap of things to do and to see.

Old Sarum - why it is important

Old Sarum is important because William the Conquerer was there in 1215 to collect the Doomsday book.

The doomsday book was a book about all the lords, lady's, animals, children and their land. William the Conquerer wanted the information so he knew what he could tax people.

This castle was a part of willoms war base.

Salisbury Cathedral

Today we went to Salisbury Cathedral. Did you know that is is the tallest medieval spire in Europe?  It is over 800 years old.

They had sculptures which just looked like rocks that were there as art.

We climbed on them they where weird shapes and sizes.

Alternate Energy - Science Museum

Today we went to the Science Museum.

I decided to learn about all the alternative energies there are.

There is five Alternate energies. Water energy is made by turning the flow into power through mills. It can also be made from he sea and the tide.

Solar energy comes from sunlight. Light can be changed into thermal energy and can also be turned into  energy which is power. It can be collected and stored into batteries.

Wind energy is the generation of electricity from the wind. Wind does not carry the energy. The turbines make it. We saw alot of turbines in Wales as well as in Spain. I think they look ugly. They sound really creepy.

Geothermal energy is the earth's internal heat. It can be turned into power or electric energy. You find this in places where the lava is close to the surface of the Earth. We saw this in New Zealand when we went.

Biofuel is plant substance. It can also be turned into energy or power for our use.

Nuclear energy is nuclear fussion to release energy of a sort. This can be turned into energy or power.

We have to do something about using alternative energy because our world is falling apart. We are using too much coal and gas and it makes the environment toxic and die.

I think wind turbines should be out at sea where there are no cows or anything around like people who will get sick when they are near them.

Lego land (mini land)

Today we went to Lego land to look at the mini land. It was mind blowing.

They had moving Lego trains, an underground, the London Eye and lots of little boats. It's so smart how it all works there were things here and things there. It's very interesting to see.

They even had the changeing of the guard at the Palace.

Ev. Turkish restaurant (London) reveiw

Today we went to ev.

 They had Turkish delights to greet you and there cuisine is a shared cuisine. They bring out little bowls of sauce and dips and toppings with bread and it was delicious. 

I'd rate ev 9 1/2 / 10. So in my eyes it's great.

Dunham Massey war hospital

Today we went into the Dunham Massey house.
The house was opened for the war effort and used as a hospital. Some of the sick soldiers got looked after there. This is in World War One when there was a lot of wounded men and women. There was little activities to do.
We had to roll bandages using a smart little machine. They needed lots of bandages for the sick.
Then it showed the rest of the house.
