The Battle Museum

Today we went to the Battle Museum. They have a lot of exhibits including samurai armour. I liked it because it was old. I saw how much work was put into it and was amazed.

They also had a dinosaur discovery room where you can see all the fossils.

They had a sand pit that had fake fossils in it. To find. It was lots of fun and a good source of information.

Leeds castle

Today we went to Leeds Castle. Leeds Castle has a playground and maze and lots  of shows such as the birds of prey show and many more.

The maze hint is to turn right every time and the maze was built out of hedges. Then once we finish the maze we went into the grotto. The grotto you can only access from the middle of the maze. The grotto was very spooky and had lots of tunnels, stairs and loud voices speaking poetry. The poem is The Tale of the Ancient Mariner. I think it would suck to die of thirst like they did.

 I forgot to take a photo of the playground but it was amazing it was called the nights realm it was made out of wood and looked fantastic. It had a flying fox, two levels of fun and heaps and heaps of ropes leading to the top level. We spent hours playing on the playground Leeds Castle rocks. I would rate this castle 9/10. There is a photo of the creepy face in the grotto.

Royal Pavilion in Brighton

Today we went to the Royal pavilion at Brighton. St George lV built lt and with no expense to spare. There were dragons everywhere. It was all Chinese decorated. My favourite room is the Banquet room because the chandelier is held in the golden claws of a dragon almost weighs 1 tone.

Cooking Time - homeschooling stuff

We use our maths to do cooking, and mum makes us read instructions and asks us questions about it all the time.

Today we made oat cookies for morning tea tomorrow.

The cheap shop in Hastings

The cheap shop is what it's name suggests. Its a very cheap shop. They sell all the past best by date but they test them. It's all at a very low price. There are soft drink for 29 pence. 29 pence = 58 cents. So a 2L soft drink like lemonade for 60 cents. It was a very small shop but one that if you pull out something you will get a other thing. You get what I mean.

Mum makes me look at prices and convert them to Australian dollars for my maths.

The Hastings castle

Today we visited the Hastings castle. The castle was on top of the hill at Hastings. It was built in the 11th century by William the conqueror. This castle was built after the 1066 war. The French invaded England and killed Harold the king.
As the years went by the hill got worn away and the castle fell to ruin. There was a huge storm which made half the castle fall into the sea.
King Henry the 8th made a law so that the church had to be ripped down. Now all that is left is this...

its still cool

The Amsterdam ship wreck

Today we were in Hastings and we went to a museum. The museum had alot about the Amsterdam Ship but was slso about lots of other ships right back to the first century.

I liked the stuff on the Amsterdam because it wrecked here. The Amsterdam was a East India trading boat. It was on voyage full of wine and gold when it all went wrong. The storm carried it to a beach then it sunk meters away from the island and then got sweaped away by the sea and taken to Hastings by the time it wrecked at Hastings most of the crew were ill or dead. The ill ones walked to the beach.

In the 1960s  a company that had to put a pipe in and they spotted the wreck and they went to find out what it was. Today there is still a tech there and in the summer you can see it at low tide.

Mum said we can come back in Summer and look at it.
