LEGO

I played with Lego after a long time.

I decided to make an "all terrain vehicle", that is, a vehicle that can operate on land, in snow and under water. The machine that I designed is mainly an Airship, but it also has huge skis for snow. There is a special breathing system for it to function underwater and there are tyres for it to move on land.

When I first made the vehicle, it was very flimsy. So I had to rebuild it with more detailed and concentrated effort. I seperated all the parts and put them back in a more sensible way in the new design.

 I also added a storage cabin, exhausts and a helicopter on a launchpad on the vehicle. There is also a POWERSTORER. It stores extra power for emergency. It never runs out of power because it runs on solar energy. There is a cannon that shoots really far.

 Then I added a bike and an "auto-floater" for working in space. An AUTOFLOATER is like a robot that controlled by a voice-activated-program !

There are FLOOD-BOMB lights in front of the vehicle on top of the power-storer. When its dark and there are baddies, the flood-bomb lights shoot towards the baddies and then there are pipes that generate new bombs-lights.

I even made a story with the Lego characters I have. In my story there was a copy of Batman and my own character "Super-Ninja". I wanted to write all about the story, but Mum she will type it out tomorrow ...

Christmas is in the air !!

London is getting dressed up for Christmas !
I went with Mom and Dad to see the Christmas lights in Central London last week. Central London is such an exciting place !Whenever I go there I feel very enthusiastic and mesmerized, because I get to see all sorts of different things than what I see daily where I stay.

It has wonderful places like London Eye, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Shard, Cheese Grater Building, Gherkin Building, Tower Bridge and many more interesting historical monuments.

We went to see Christmas decorations on Oxford Street. Oxford street is a shopping place.It has so many stylish clothes shops, and many different other shops too. When we got there I was amazed because the whole street was just lighted up high and low!   

It felt like I was in a galaxy with many bright planets floating around me !

It seemed like all the people were shopping for christmas. All shops had their windows decorated beautifully, and all shops were playing christmas songs and music. 

I  clicked these photos with my little camera !
 

The street was lit up with lots of peacock feather shaped lights.

The diamond was proabably meat to be the peacock's body with glorious colours !

 

Apollo 13

I watched Apollo 13 on TV this Sunday with my parents. The movie was about a mission to the Moon. On the way a major problem happened so the astronauts -  Jim, Jack and Fred had to sadly bring the spaceship back to earth before they touched the moon. There were lot of problems that they had to deal with to land back on earth safely.

I remember two problems clearly.

1. When they were on their way back, the carbon dioxide level was too high and oxygen level was reducing. The ground control told them to rip the front cover of their manual, and they had to use a tape to wrap it untill it became a big cube. Then they had to cut a hole and put a sock in it. Then they had to attach a pipe which they had in the spaceship to make some kind of "air-filter".
Then Jim said, " I can hear air moving". So it worked !

2. At another time, the problem was with power. They had to save power to reach back to earth. So they had to switch off everything...even thecomputers and heaters. It was so cold that red wrinkles formed on their eyes. Fred had the most red wrinkles and he felt sick.

Finally they reached earth safely because of all the teams working together.

It is one of the best movies I have seen. I learnt how important it is to work together, support each other and not to blame others when things go wrong.

When Ken (one astronaut who could not go on the mission) was called to help, he did not become upset. He forgot what had happened and solved the power problem by giving them a specific method to follow to make all the lights come on.

It was so fascinating and interesting to watch the astronauts find different ways to solve their different problems. It was cool to watch but it made my mum very tense. Dad had already watched the movie so he did not get tensed.

MYSTRIC MAGIC SCHOOL

I wrote this story inspired by the Harry Potter book I am reading.

It is my first Harry Potter book and I am enjoying it so much, 
that I can hardly keep it down at nightime. 

...........

It was the most calm day of the week - Sunday.

James Hilton was downstairs watching TV. Whoosh ! Suddenly a letter flew out of nowhere and landed on his lap. He was amazed ! A letter on a Sunday! 

A few moments later, before he could open the letter, a red whirlpool came into the room. He was stunned and he was staring at the whirlpool when a door under it opened and Whoo...ooSH, he zoomed inside ! He spun at the speed of a Ferrari ..it made him feel dizzy. SPLASH ! He landed in front of a gate. 

The sign on it said "MYSTRIC MAGIC SCHOOL". Just as the the door opened, James saw a machine with many grabbers on it. 

Three grabbers crept up to him, grabbed his head and scanned his brain. They declared 

"TEAM SUN"

James was stunned. He could not understand what was happening. The grabbers picked him and dropped him in front of TEAM SUN's door. When he entered the room, he saw the walls were coloured in Topaz colour. The teacher was so small that he had to stand on the desk to talk to James ! 

He waved his wand and books appeared. What interesting topics - 

POTIONS - by Lon Keun

DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK SIDE - by Kate Loy

ATTACKING SPELLS - by John Reith

James was so eager to learn , he was already flipping through the pages. But he wanted to see more of this new school. He went into the playground. Children were flying around on brooms instead of running around in the playground. They were playing Tag and even Football on brooms , so not one was getting tired !!

It was such a beautiful sight !
