It was Wicked!

Today I went to see Wicked which is a play about the wicked witch of the east, west and the north. This all happened before Dorothy came. It was wicked!!! We went with a girl called Christine, one of my Mum's friends.


And, I had my ears pierced. I have to wear my earrings for 2 months. The same earrings!! After 2 months is over I get to swap earrings. I have to spray my ears before I go to bed and in the mornings. And, I can't go in the swimming pool for a week.


Ben rode 28kms today on his bike with Dad. Awesome!! I couldn't do that.

Hot, Hot, Hot

Currently the temperature is 44C and it is 5:20pm!!  We are sweltering.  Fortunately one of the bedrooms has an airconditioner so we have been cooling off in there.  The hot weather is going to continue for another week.  Where is the Freo Doctor?!!!

Yarra Primary School

Today we went to Yarra Primary School to get my school clothes and hats.  There was a lady that looks like our office lady at Rosalie  and she showed us around the school.  My teacher's name is Miss Saunders.  We met her when we got to the school. 

We went on a tour around the school.  We saw the classrooms, the art room, the playground, the library, the kitchen (Stephanie Alexander kitchen - famous cook) and the afterschool care.  I get to cook in the kitchen and if I get really good at chopping vegetables, I get a chopping license which I think is really weird.  The vegies come from the vegetable garden at the school.  

We went shopping as well.  Ben was complaining the whole time because he wanted to buy a motorcycle.

Australia Day - by Ben

From Ben: Yesterday, I went to the square at Melbourne (Federation Square). I had a big breakfast. It was yummy. It was really, really far and I had to ride on my new bike, that is green. I had to ride really fast. When we went back we went to the fair. I went on a big slide, rock climbing (I had a harness on and it wasn't scary, it was fun) and I saw a little piggy who was eating hay.

I rode back home and it was really short, I wanted to ride longer. Dad didn't let me ride longer.

I had pizza to eat for dinner. I didn't go to bed until 11pm. Because we went to the fireworks (at the big ferris wheel at Docklands). I really, really, really liked the fireworks. The ferris wheel went really slow.

St Kilda and Ben's new bike

Ben has been riding his new bike everywhere, every morning with my Dad. He rode 20km yesterday from Richmond to Federation Square along the Yarra River. Mum and I just stay in bed.

Yesterday we went to St Kilda. I bought some birthday presents with my birthday money. I bought a necklace, a ring and a fox puppet. Going to St Kilda was fun because they had street markets.

James and the Giant Peach

Today I went to see James and the Giant Peach - the play (by RMIT students). I really liked it. My favourite actor was the ladybird. At the end you were allowed on the stage and allowed to dance. It was fun!

We played Wii tennis at the shopping centre (near RMIT). Ben beat me!

I bought a new Smiggle packet with 2 highlighters, a stapler and staples. I really, really, really, really like Smiggle.

We have arrived in Melbourne!

We have finally arrived in Melbourne. I am not well. I have had the flu for nearly 2 weeks. Hope I get better soon.

We live in Richmond. My address is 86 Somerset St. Here are some photos.

The school I am going to is Yarra Primary School.
