Norwich Aviation Museum

I recently went to the Norwich Aviation Museum with my Nanny, Grandad and cousin. As a family we like to go out on day trips. We try to look for new places to go and my Grandad thought that visiting the Norwich Aviation Museum would be a good morning trip out. It was my first time visiting the museum and I had a great time there.

We were the first people there so we had the place to ourselves. This gave us the chance to have a good walk around and look at everything in the museum, without having to worry about crowds of people. Also my cousin and I were able to wonder around taking lots of photos of the aircrafts.

One of my favourite parts of my visit was listening to my Grandad's stories as we walked around the museum. He told me about what his life was like when he was growing up and what members of our family did during the Second World War. It was really interesting.

The museum has a  lot of interesting pieces. They have aeroplanes, an American Jeep, medals, uniforms, photographs and so much more. The museum is well looked after and has pleasant staff. The museum is not hugely advertised, so I do not think many people know about it. Therefore it is quiet and gives you the chance to look around at your own pace.

My Summer Reading List

Today I thought I would tell you about my summer reading list. These are books I have wanted to read for a while and am trying to find time to read. This list does not include books to read for school.

The first book on the list is, ‘The five people you meet in heaven’ by Mitch Albom. The book is about a war veteran who dies while trying to save a little girl. The man goes on to the afterlife where he meets five people and they explain his earthly life to him.
I have not read a book like this before but it sounded interesting because I think it talks about how events can lead people down different paths and that you can be part of someone’s life without realising.

The second book is, ‘An offer you can’t refuse’ by Jill Mansell. This book is about a seventeen-year old girl who is offered £10,000 as long as she breaks up with her boyfriend. The twist of the story is that she is offered the money by her boyfriend’s Mother. Will she take the money?

I thought this would be a good book to read because it looks at the difficult decisions that people make in their life, which will affect their future.

Another book on my list is, ‘The Night Circus’, by Erin Morgenstern. The book is about a mysterious circus that arrives without any warning or announcement. I wanted to read this book because it has received really good reviews, so I thought I would read it to see what people are talking about. I do not know a lot about the storyline of this book, which is good as I find out what is going to happen as I am reading.

The last book on my list is, ’Wreck This Journal’, by Keri Smith. This is not a reading book, but I wanted to include it on the list. I have already started the book and it is brilliant. It encourages people to stop trying to do perfect, accurate artwork and focuses on having fun.

I hope to have completed all of the books on the list by the time I go back to school.

What I want to do this summer

Now that I am free for the summer there are things that I want to do but am either too lazy or forget to do. So to make sure I do everything I want to do this summer, I decided to make a list of things that I want to have done by the end of the summer.  So I thought I would share with you some of the things on my list.

Things I want to do this summer:

1. Finish decorating my bedroom
2. Get second ear piercings
3. Finish my Wreck This Journal
4. Finish my knitting project
5. Make a scrapbook full of Year 11 memories
6. 10 new posts to this blog

I have not included school work on the list because I will have to do that during the summer no matter what. I will make sure that I do everything on this list and will probably let you know when I have completed everything on the list.
