2013 Andrew on Tarquilla.

I am a 6 year old.

i am a 6  year    old.

This week it was my birthday. It is brilliant having a birthday on the boat. I get to open my presents and we had pain au chocolat and orange juice for breakfast.

My aeroplane from my brothers.

 

For birthdays we hang the cards on a string above the chart table and we have birthday signs around the boat. Some people send messages to say happy birthday by text, some by internet and Nanny and Grandad skyped to sing to me ‘happy birthday’.

 

The capitainerie lady gave me a pen and key ring as a present which was nice.

We saw two trains when we went out in the afternoon and both drivers waved to me. We played on the beach, we went swimming and had a water fight.

      

The pizza was very good, there was bacon on mine, it was very yummy. I blew out the candles on my cake, it was a marble cake with chocolate and coconut and icing.

I had a nice birthday.

We saw common dolphins, I was happy.

 

It was a long journey.

Easter

We drew a hill with a boulder over a cave. At Easter Sunday we made some flowers and stuck them on the picture. We hunted for some paper shapes on the pontoon first and then on the wave break then we found Easter chocolates, we ate some yummy chocolate.

World book day

Humphrey’s tiny tales by Betty G Birney.

                                                                                                                            

My creepy-crawly camping adventure.

 

Humphrey's tiny tales books

I love it. It’s very funny because he says unsqueakably. Humphrey is a hamster who lives in a classroom and at the weekends he goes with the girls and the boys home. In the book I am reading he is going camping in someone’s back garden.

Also I like my Ships and boats book, my favourite bit is about the hovercraft. I love my Tonka books too.

 

My Year on Tarquilla

I have liked this year. This year Tarquilla has sailed to here [Gijon]

 

Gijon is my favourite place because it’s got beaches, it’s got marinas and I liked the big parade and meeting the Kings.

 

I liked the sardine factory and sweet factory on my birthday [Port Haliguen] and I liked the stalactites and stalagmites too [Ribadesella].

 

It’s good having birthdays and Christmas on the boat especially opening my presents.

 

It was fun when the dolphins were playing with Tarquilla, one was under Tarquillas’ side, they jumped out of the water every time, they looked friendly and happy. I liked it when we saw some starfish, we were on the dingy looking over the side of the dingy, there were a lot of them [at Camaret].

 

I love playing in the big waves with my toy boat. I did walk in the water and had a turn on Richards bodyboard, it was fun to lie down on it and get whooshed by the waves.  We’ve had big waves in lots of different places.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

It was fun making Coot [boat made from junk as a design project] and racing it and Coot won the race.

 

 

We’re looking forward to more adventures this year.

Brest

I like playing with Lego every day and eat and play and drink. I like galettes which are pancakes with cheese and ham. We played football. We went onto the beach and tied a blue string onto my big blue boat then I did make it go fast.
