It’s our choose your own adventure week and we love it! It’s like a free ride at our favourite theme park on a sunny day! That means we are smiling and very much enjoying our own time of freedom….
 
 
 I am so lucky today I get to talk about my holiday in Japan.
For two weeks I went to Japan with my family this month. We had to fly early in the morning but left home very early for the airport. Mum, Dad, my niece and I were in the car together.
I love to fly because I have heaps of food and lots of drinks which is great. I always love to fly.
Sometimes I'm scared but sometimes I'm not.
We stayed in a lovely big hotel and I stayed with mum and dad, and breakfast downstairs everyday.
The weather was warm so I made sure to wear a Disney top each day.
The food was so good. My favourite was the sushi train because I choose what I want to eat. I used chopsticks and also gifted chopsticks to my friends at blogging.
I went to Tokyo Disney and the fireworks were amazing. The tea cups and the Beauty and the Beast ride is the best, it is the story of Beauty and the Beast as a ride in a tea cup. I love it. I got lots of photos and when I look at them they make me smile and happy. I rode the big thunder mountain at night time. Mum saw Minnie Mouse and I saw Mickey, Cinderella, and Tiana from Princess and the Frog.
I went on the bullet train from Tokyo to a lovely place, it was beautiful and very very fast. I fell asleep.
I am also very lucky that I went on the last Disney cruise from Australia, ever. I hope they come back but if not I am sure to travel somewhere to get on another Disney cruise.
I don't have my next holiday booked, but, I will soon and will be sure to let you know.
Thank you, Claire.
 
 
We woke up at dawn, time to hit the road to Western Australia. 
Dad packed all of his gold detector and stuff, we buckled in and were off.
I fell asleep and suddenly we were there. We set up camp and off we went to find gold. We walked for ages and we found a little creek, and started to pan for gold in there. We were panning for about forty five minutes,  I shook my pan and searched for a speck of gold in my panning plate. I had quite a bit of specks of gold in there. I got my squeezey bottle to suck up the speck of gold.
We had lunch then we took off further into the bush. 
We both took out our gold detectors and started to search for anything in the ground, dad’s detector went beep beep beep, which means there’s something in the ground. I dropped my detector and started to dig where dad was swinging his detector.  Every clump of dirt that I put to the side, dad would go over it with the detector, nothing, so he swung it over the hole, again it went beep beep beep. I dug deeper. The last clump of dirt I dug out my dad swung his detector over it again. And it went beep beep beep.  I broke the clump of dirt down. And finally we found a small nuggets of gold.  Which was great. A small piece of gold ranges from $1000 to $5000. 
It was getting late, we headed back to camp and cooked dinner, faced time my mum and told her we found specks of gold and a small sized nugget. I slept with the nugget under my pillow. The next morning we drove home and unpacked the car. We took the gold nugget into a gold shop to our surprise the price in gold went up to $8,000 -$10,000 dollars. 
We both smiled cashed the nugget in and we got $8,999 just for a small gold nugget. 
We halved the money, 
I brought a Maine coon which was a Smokey colour. And my dad took my mum on a holiday to Singapore for a few days.
Talk about how a little bit of work, has paid off.

Last week I finally finished off my animation, other people will be able to watch it, and there is a presentation to see my animation.
It’s hopefully good and the animation people will love it.  How great they might think it was made by Pixar or Dreamworks or whatever.
I was so clever to be using blender in 3D animation, it is better at stop motion animation. 
I made my new intro for my animation but this is the best 3D animation I have ever done. 
The other people give subscribe and click below and they give the 42 subscribers and they got the views of my videos.
Village News is the amazing videos on YouTube I look on IMDb it got a 9.4/10. I got the cartoon voices the Villager and the witch and I am so good at this.
This is Korey signing off.
And have a great awesome animation videos, good day for you.
 
Today’s topic is your own choice
Today I am going to tell you about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. On the eleventh of March 2011 the plant was hit by an earthquake and followed by a tsunami. The tsunami caused major radiation leaks making it impossible to restart the reactors. The plant was first opened in 1971 with six boiling water reactors and had no recorded trouble until 2011. The building was designed to withstand an earthquake but not a tsunami. The plant was shut down permanently in April 2012.  
Some fun facts; 160,000 people were displaced as a result of the disaster. Areas classified as difficult to return zone still remain today due to high radiation levels. The plant was closed not due to human error, but to natural disaster.

Well I got new game called Assassins Creed, it is really nice but not bad, really so easy for me. I like seeing you all today, I have a happy life today because you are all cool people. I even have Radiovoice next Monday, yay, and this weekend I will be going out for fun. I was happy to see Cindy on Tuesday afternoon.  Ruby is such a cute dog she will always come to my room and sleep together. But I must take Ruby to go outside before sleep to pee, so she doesn’t pee on the floor. Oh lord.

Hi readers, how are you? Today's topic is a choose your own adventure and I have chosen to write about my adventure on a very big cruise ship. I am going with my Mum and her partner, his son and my brother, and my sister. 
The ship will be leaving on the 21st of March next year for seven days and leaving from Brisbane. On this cruise there will be so much to do. On this holiday I can go to all the activities like spotlight karaoke, girl rock climbing, adrenaline peak and salsa dancing classes for young guests, and the best will be going to the circus school, and hopefully I can get involved with the show.
I will be sharing a cabin with my sister and hopefully we have a porthole so we can see outside. My mum and her partner will be next door to me.
When we get settled and unpacked we will try to research the surroundings of the ship, especially the Royal Theater where we will see lots of movies and shows. 
I have heard that the food is incredible and there are lots to choose from. I am so excited in the coming months and once Xmas is over the holiday will be here before I know it.
This is Cruisey Beth signing off until next week.
 
 
Today I’ll be talking about my experience at the many concerts I have recently attended. Firstly I saw Southern Sons again and I was in the front row. Two weeks later I saw AC/DC at the MCG. And I really enjoyed myself because there is a story behind the AC/DC concert. My biological father and I were meant to see them live in 2010 but he had a stroke and I was so sad that I didn’t get a chance but they came out again in 2015 but we missed getting tickets.  When they released tickets for another Australian tour for 2025 we got so excited. I was online and I trying to get tickets for the Wednesday night show but I got kicked out. I got a phone call from my brother saying he got tickets for the Sunday night show and I was so excited for my brother helping me out. My highlight was seeing AC/DC. 
Not even a week later I got a chance to see Jimmy Barnes at Mount Duneed Estate in Geelong, and it was the anniversary of the passing of Micheal Hutchence from INXS. It was such a hot day that I brought myself a top and stubby holder for my beers and I bought 2x beers that cost me $22 dollars and my carer brought a hamper it has sandwiches,Tim tams, dips and dry biscuits and a glass of wine but knowing me, I was drinking beer. We got a chance to see Kate Cebrano, Ian moss and Icehouse and the last act was Jimmy Barnes. We got a change to meet Kate and I had a picture with her and she also signed my poster. I was so grateful that I got a chance to see more Australian acts but it was about to rain when Jimmy Barnes was playing, his wife played the bagpipes. We left when there were three songs left from finishing the show because it was spitting with rain and I was in so much pain with my foot. On that Sunday morning we drove back to Melbourne Carrum Downs. I can’t wait to see more concerts next year.
Ash.
 
 
Let me start by telling you about my made-up story. Once there was a girl called Paris, and she was no ordinary girl. She was royalty, but she didn't know until her 18th birthday. And on her 18th birthday she flew home from Greece, and when she arrived out the front of the palace she was greeted by her parents who gave her a big warm hug. Her parents, who were king and queen, told her about her royalty as they walked through the big golden palace doors, that she was a princess, and she wasn't allowed to marry for love. But she had fallen in love with a handsome prince from Greece, and had married him no matter what. She still became Queen. Written by Charlotte.

Christmas is coming! My support worker picked me up to go to Umbrella Support program I wore my Mickey t-shirt. My support worker even brought me a present. “Do you like receiving gifts in a bag or wrapped?”
Inside the bag there were a Minnie keyring, Hello Kitty stickers, a green slinky, and a box of Favourites chocolates.
“Wow, what a lovely present. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I said.
When My support worker dropped Abbey andI  at Balla Balla, it was almost 9 AM. Cindy came in and said, “Come to the party room, wonderful people!”
There was no name on the seat next to me just a sign that said “Reserved.”
“Cindy, who is sitting next to me?” I asked.
“It’s a surprise. You’ll see. Why don’t you eat some snacks? There are cookies, Smith’s, Doritos, and Shapes.”
Once everyone was seated, Cindy said, “Today is our annual Christmas gathering. We also have a surprise visitor, and that person will be sitting next to Jacinda. I know you’re feeling anticipation, Jacinda.”
Then she said, “The surprise visitor is here. I’m going outside to greet him. You all stay here and have a chat with your friends.”
Sheridan turned to me.
“Jacinda, what are you doing for Christmas?”
“I’m going to open my presents on Christmas Day. I asked my parents for pastel colour pencils. What about you?”
“I’ll have Christmas lunch at home with my parents and Shan. I might take my dog for a walk,” she said.
Soon the visitor walked in…
It was Michael Bublé.
“Michael? Is that really you?” I asked.
“Yes, young lady, it’s me. What’s your name?”
“I’m Jacinda. I love your Christmas songs so much. One of my favourites is Cold December Night.”
“Oh, cool,” he said with a smile.
Everybody took turns introducing themselves.
“I’m glad I get to know you all,” Michael said. “Now it’s my turn. I’m Michael, and I have four kids.”
Suddenly Santa walked in.
“Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!”
He called out names in random order to give out presents. I still felt anticipation because I hadn’t received mine yet.
Then Santa finally called my name.
I opened my present straight away. I got a pastel pink journal book, a Snoopy pen, bear stickers, and an Oreo.
Michael opened his gift too he got socks and a beanie.
Cindy handed out gifts to all her participants. She usually gives a gratitude journal and a craft.
Martina gave her clients a biscuit.
We had some free time, and Michael decided to chat with me. He asked me lots of questions and told me that his daughter likes pastel colours too.
For lunch, we had pizza! The flavours were meat lovers, Aussie, margherita, and barbecue chicken.
After lunch, we watched Michael perform his Christmas songs. Then it was time to pack up. Delia took the leftover snacks home.
“Michael, thank you so much for coming,” I said.
“You’re welcome, Jacinda,” he replied.
We went for a walk, and Claire even got to dance with Michael.
My support worker picked Abbey and me up. She got a chance to greet Michael and had a little chat.
“How was your day with Michael?” She asked.
“It was loud. I’ll tell you more in the car,” I said.
Thank you for reading.
It's Princess Jacinda, signing off.
