Archery

Posted by Ben | Posted on 13:36

Every week I do Archery. It's really cool and I am now at the back on the room. There are three shooting lines: Front, Middle, Back. What I have to do is hold the bow, get the arrow, put the arrow in the bow and...
PING!
Yah, it's simple, but there are a few things that the instructors tell you to do.

(P.S. Yay it's nearly Halloween! [Spooky wail])

Isle of Skye

Posted by Ben | Posted on 11:47

On the 9th of September, me, Katie, Mummy and Daddy left for the Isle of Skye. We had to do three seperate journeys which were about five hours long each (wow). Luckily we had the iPod to keep us amused. Our first campsite was Grizedale, we stayed there for two nights. On the second day we went to the Lake District, and went to Beatrix Potter's house. The next campsite was Luss, which WAS in Scotland. If the Lake District was in Scotland it would be called Loch District. I really liked the Luss campsite because it was by the edge of Loch Lomond; I liked going in the water. We sadly only stayed at Luss for one night. Then finally we got to the Isle of Skye were we got a holiday cottage and stayed there for a week. YIPPEE IT HAD LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF LEGO THERE WOOOOOOO! Sadly I made a really good model on the last day and :( I had to leave it there :(. The best part was seeing my friend almost everyday (he lives on the Isle of Skye).

On the way back we stayed at Luss for :( one night and at Bewick Upon Tweed for :) one night.
I'm happy about stayed at Bewick for one night because it was SO WINDY.


I got home on the 21st of September.

Chaos Faction

Posted by Ben | Posted on 11:09

I REALLY like a online game called Chaos Faction. You have to kill your opponent by punching, kicking, or using power-ups. To control (default controls) press Z for attack 1 (punch) and X for attack 2 (kick). To use a power-up collect a box that appears on the play area. Then either use Z or X to use it. If you do campaign you have to battle an opponent to unlock new characters and weapons. To customise your character, click "Start Game" on the main menu, then select a game mode. The customise character screen will come up after that.

This game is super COOL and I think you should get it. Price: $39.99 (wow). Yes, OK, it's loads,
but its worth it.
I'll give you some intructions:
On the main menu, click "Single Player". Then Choose you place, and click "OK" at the bottom right corner. Then wait for it to load. After that, a screen will come up with the starting point. Select "Track" in the bottom left corner and click on one end of the bit of track that is already there. Then move the mouse to where you want the track to go to. When you have done that, click, and the track will be placed. Oh, yeah, and press - and = to change the height of the track piece.

BUILDING STATIONS

When you get to a village, town, city or metropolis, use the right mouse button and then select "Build Depot". Click near the village, town, etc. to build a depot. Recomendations: a depot for a village, a station for a town, a terminal for a city, and a terminal with a bridge for a metropolis (See "UPGRADES").

UPGRADES

To upgade a depot, click on the depot and click the picture that looks like an arrow pointing upwards (in the box that pops up). When you have done that, select what upgrade you want. To make a bridge, select "Double Track" which is under "Track". Then make a double track. Make sure it goes past the depot.

TRAINS

To get a train, click the picture of a train. Then it will come up with a map. This map is the map of the place you are in. If you have more than one depot, you can see where they are on the map. Smaller circles are the industries. in the top right corner, theres a picture of a train. Click "Change" and then use the arrow keys to select. Press "Enter" on the keyboard to select the train you want. Now, to make the train go onto the map, select two or more dots. Then a box pops up and now all you have to do is select what cars you want! Then click "Close" and choose the priority. Done? Click "OK"!

Thats all the info. Hope you like it!

Yesterday, I went to the The Butterfly and Wildlife Park with my Mum. It was really fun and I had an ice cream. Yum!
Before lunch we saw the flying display. They had an Eagle Owl, a Buzzard, a Black Vulture, and a Harrier Hawk.
