Australia

I went to Australia last Summer. We went to Sydney and we stayed  with my Dad's cousin and his wife. We saw Sydney Opera House one day. Did you know that the man who designed the Opera House was inspired by a piece of orange? He was peeling the orange and he looked at the bits he'd already peeled off and they were all jagged, just like the roof of Sydney Opera House.
                                                                                                             


Then we went to Cairns (pron. Cans). We stayed in a campervan and one day we had a huntsman spider in our kitchen. My Dad screamed. It was weather perfect and the scenery was lovely. There were lots of mountains and forests. We had a great time and did a lot of swimming! We also visited the Great Barrier Reef and went snorkeling. We saw crocodiles, sharks, giant turtles and lots of beautiful fish. We weren't allowed to touch the coral or bring anything home from the beach.

A trip to the Emirates Stadium

7 April 2011

For my ninth birthday I  went to the Emirates Stadium to see Arsenal vs Sunderland. I don't support Arsenal but I was excited. Although it was not as exciting as watching Manchester United we went into the dreaded Arsenal shop where I bought an Arsenal jacket. Colm, my brother used up all his money on a scarf, gloves, hat and jacket. It was a disappointing match for Arsenal and they were even booed off by their own fans. The end result was nil all. My Dad was hoping that Arsenal would win so he kept hoeing that Kenwyn Jones would get the ball because he says he's useless but I think he is better than my dad... just about. The next time I go to England I want to see United.    

My trip to London.'

Hello fellow bloggers. For my ninth birthday I got to go to the Emirates stadium home of " The Gunners" the greatest football team in England. We flew from Shannon to London and stayed in a hotel. The hotel was not to far from the stadium. While we were there we saw Tower Bridge. The next day we went to the stadium where Arsenal were playing Sunderland. Arsenal got a lot of chances but failed to score. Sunderland also continued  to get chances but were not able to take them. I was very disappointed that not only did we not win but we didn't get to see any goals at all, even though we are a classy side. After the match we went to Chinatown where I ordered my favourite food, deep fried sea weed with loads of sugar.

France

I've been to France five years in a row. We didn't go to the same location every time. I like France because its really hot and there's loads of water parks and climbing activity centers. France has only sixty-five rainy days a year.
This year we're going to France again by ferry and we're going to three different camp sites. My mom is teaching us French next week so I will be able to talk to people there. Last time I went pony riding and we went to a space museum. There's loads of fun things to do in France and that's why I like it.  By Claire.
