Merry Christmas for 2016!

Merry Christmas everyone! I was getting very excited in the days leading up to Christmas day and then it finally came! I was very lucky to get lots of things that I wanted. Christmas day was a big day because I got up at 5:30am to look at the presents. Grandma and Grandpop came over to watch us open the presents. Then we all went to Nanna and Grandads place for lunch. I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day but I was determined to start building the big new Lego set that I got!




I was very good at cleaning up the wrapping paper as I went, there was hardly any mess!

Time for a Dance

Since we're on the topic of performing, here's another one. This time it was at the St Catherine's school fete. Each year got to perform a dance for everyone to watch. This was my year in the year 1 dance.

Jack on Stage

Now that it's school holidays, I get the chance to go on a drama camp! I actually went to one in the last school holidays and I loved it so much that I really wanted to do it again. I had a really fun time and at the end of it we do a performance for everyone to watch. Here's a video of me in the performance we did last school holidays. See if you can find me in there, I played the part of one of the 'natives' in the story.

Testing the New Wheels

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to take out my radio controlled car for a bigger test drive. Dad and I took it to a soccer field where we could really see how fast it could go.... and it goes fast! It took a while to get a hang of the steering but I was able to drive it pretty well. I even did a few jumps!

How I've Changed

Recently at school I had to present some news to my class. The topic was 'How I've Changed'. I think the best way to show how I've changed is through a slide show! This video is what I presented to my class to show how I have changed over the last 7 years. They all loved it!

At the Firing Range

I love to collect and shoot Nerf guns. If you're not sure what a Nerf gun is, it's a toy gun that shoots foam darts very quickly. I often have nerf wars with Dad and Emma. I decided it was time to show you my collection and demonstrate these guns so I made this video. This was a tricky video to make, you'll see why when you get near the end of it!

To Melbourne We Go! - The Video

I've finally put together the video of our trip to Melbourne. I take you on a tour of some of the sites that we visited. It's a long one so you might want to make a cup of coffee before you watch!

To Melbourne We Go!

A couple of weeks ago we went on a short holiday to Melbourne. I'd never been to Melbourne before so this was a very new experience for me. I thought it looked a lot like Sydney, except it had trams on the road.

Once we had arrived and dropped off our bags, we went out for a walk at the park.



We made our way to the museum where we had tickets to see their new Jurassic World exhibition (did you notice my shirt too??)





You reckon I do a good scared face?



Then it was off for another walk to find a place to eat for dinner.



The next day we went to visit a very high tower. It had a look out at the very top. It was 88 floors high!









When we got back down to the ground we went for a walk along the river. You could probably tell I was a little tired/hungry in this photo.



After something to eat, the girls decided to go do some shopping while Dad and I went to visit the aquarium.





These penguins were very cute!



After all this sightseeing and walking, I needed some downtime. This is how I like to relax.



We went to a lot of different places to eat while we were in Melbourne. Some of them had colouring in for kids.



This was the last place we stayed. Our flight was cancelled so we had to stay another night in a hotel. I was starving by this time and it was getting quite late.



Stay tuned for our video of the trip!

My 7th Birthday!

This year I turned 7 years old. This was another birthday that I was very excited about and I had a very big day.


It started out with the opening of presents in the morning. I got a new Lego set and got straight into building.





Then we went bowling. I went with my friend Jakub. After bowling we went out for lunch and then went back home for more opening of presents!

Finally we went out for dinner. I chose the venue - 'Chips' (Gymea Hotel). This time I had my friend Kobe come with us.



After dinner it was back home for cake. Mum made me a cake with Minecraft on it!

Skyzone Adventure

A little while back I went to visit a new play area at Westfield with my friend Jakub. It's a big area with lots of bouncing activities. It was very fun and we were worn out when our time was up! They also had a lot of climbing walls but I'm not so sure about those.

The Gamers

I'm sure you already know that I love to play video games. I would consider myself a 'gamer'. Recently I had my friend Jayden over at Dad's place to play the Xbox. We played Plants vs Zombies together. We started off on the same team but then I secretly switched teams so I could fight against him!

Easter Time

It's that time of the year again when the Easter bunny comes to visit! I know when it's close to Easter because we get to go to the Easter show. The best thing about the show is the showbags and that was the first thing I wanted to do when we got there. I'm not that interested in the rides.

As you can see the train ride in was a little bit crazy.



We did get to see some very cute animals at the show.





I got to go on the ferris wheel with mum and dad. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be after a while. I could even spin the carriage around.



Here's the showbags we got.



Lots of lollies to start making my tongue blue.



Here's a video from some of the easter show. As you can see I wasn't too keen on getting near the baby goats. They looked cute but I was happy to keep my distance from them.

Easter Sunday

And one week later it was Easter weekend and that means......EASTER EGGS! This year we had 3 different easter egg hunts. I love hunting for the eggs but I'm not so excited about eating them.

This video sums up the day and all the egg hunting we did. I made sure Dad filmed a lot of it so I could share it with you.


Here are some Easter photos. The Easter bunny visited Mummy's place, that's why there are so many eggs!







We had another egg hunt at Daddy's and then one at Nanna and Grandad's. I did that one with my cousin Isabella.

My Lego Review - Lego Minecraft 'The Mine'

You might know that I really love a game called Minecraft. It's a game where you can dig and build anything you can think of. I love to build big houses. Another thing I really love is Lego, and now there is Lego Minecraft!

One of the sets I have is called 'The Mine'. I really like to build this one and I did a review so you can see what it is all about.

Time with my Cousins

Over the past few weeks I've been able to spend some time with my cousins Isabella and Frankie. It's been a long time since I've seen them because they live in Darwin.

When we were at Nanna and Grandad's, I showed Isabella how to throw waterbombs off the balcony. She thought it was really great!

A lot of the waterbombs ended up in the pool. I was more than happy to jump in and collect them all. I also found a good way of exploding them, by biting them!




We were also invited to Isabella's 2nd birthday party at Old School Park.





You can see I got very dirty.





And here is us taking a time out to eat some lunch.

A Lego Inspiration

Last weekend Dad and I went to the Powerhouse museum to see a special lego exhibition. This one was all about DC super heroes. There were lots of cool models. Some of them would've been very hard to build. There was even a full size lego batmobile that was made from half a million bricks!















Once we left the lego exhibit, we went for a wander around the museum. I really liked the space stuff. Here's me at the control panel inside the space shuttle!

Our Tim Tam Challenge

For Australia Day this year, I wanted to undertake a special challenge. That challenge is to 'blind taste' all of the flavours of Tim Tams and guess what they are.  Emma even joined me for this one. It's actually a lot harder than you'd think!

Merry Christmas!

I know it's a little bit late but...Merry Christmas! Finally I've got my Christmas video all ready to go. Christmas day was a big day and I got lots of presents to open. This meant I got very excited too! It was a long day because Emma and I were up pretty early to check what Santa had brought us.
