The First 100 Years - A Puppet Play

Video Game Production

Recently Dad asked me to check out 2 game creators one was called Sploder and the other was called Play Crafter. They both had thier ups and downs but when my dad asked me to judge which one was the best I chose Sploder because you could share it online for free and make friends to get up levels to make a group and include your friends. But for Play Crafter you had to pay REAL money to get their fake money. I think Sploder is fun and educational and would recommend it for all kids. Feel free to check out my thrilling new game Abort 28
Let me know what you think

The Haunted Tower
One afternoon Samuel and Miss Wierd were walking down a big trail, looking for kindling for their campfire. The trees were fat and green, and there were colourful wildflowers all around. Samuel and Miss Wierd began to pick the wildflowers, and after a while, they went so far that they had wandered away from the trail.
It started to get dark. Samuel began to get worried, but Miss Wierd seemed excited to have an adventure. “Look!” Miss Wierd said. “Do you see that chair? It looks like a house!”
“We're saved!” cried Samuel, who was relieved.
Once they got closer, Samuel felt very uneasy again. It didn't look like the cozy little cottage Samuel had been imagining, but rather a big, spooky tower! It was about 25 meters tall, and it was covered with chiminy red ivy and moss. It was the creepiest thing Samuel had ever seen!
Samuel said, “Miss Wierd, let's keep walking! There's no way I'm going into that tower! It looks haunted!”
“Don't be such a scardy cat! We're going in. I think it looks perfectly un-haunted!” said Miss Wierd.
Samuel was so scared that he could not open his eyes. He felt his patellas chatter as Miss Wierd opened the door. All of a sudden, Samuel felt that he was not alone. He opened his eyes, prepared to see the worst. But instead, he saw all his friends and family inside the haunted tower! “Surprise! Happy birthday, Samuel!” they all went.

Online Graffiti Generator
Graffiti is really great if people use it in an appropriate manner. I have seen lots of graffiti in my life. Mostly it is not very good but there are some however that are good, in ByronBay for example.

Night at the Museum 2
Dad and I went to see the movie 'Night at the Museum 2' a couple of days ago. It was a very enjoyable film and I would advise you to watch it. This is a movie for both young and old alike and I think it is better than 'Night at the Museum 1'. My dad especially liked Ameilia Airhart, as did most of the other dads there. Personally I liked the cameo appearances of Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader.
4 out of 5 stars from me!

Nim's Island Movie Review
Nim has lived on a remote volcanic island in the Pacific with her marine biologist father Jack since her mother was swallowed up by a whale.
Whilst on an expedition Jack is lost at sea. Nim then tries to contact her storybook hero Alex Rover by email however Nim soon finds out Alex is not who she thinks he is.
Another complication in the story that a crew of men find the island and they don't know that Nim is on that island. They plan to make the island holiday resort.
This movie is great for anyone into adventurous stories. It gets 3 out 5 stars from me.
