Alton Towers!

My good friends Alex and Mario came round last week to go to Alton Towers with mum (cause she’s the only one who can drive… yet). It was super fun, and we had a great time going on all the rides. As we went in July, it wasn’t as busy as the peak time in the summmer holidays. But, as we had all finished our GCSE exams before everyone else, we could beat the crowds, and we definitely beat the queues.I think we must have done at least 30 rides over the 3 days, possibly more- which is considerably more than the time Alex went to Thorpe Park in the height of the summer season and got on 4 rides in the whole day!

Going to the beach – with friends!

Ok, maybe I am a bit addicted to going to this West Wittering place. But it’s such a great beach, soft sand and quite good waves (by British standards, anyway).

So I went with 3 friends- Alex, Paul and Shan. And mum- cause she’s the only one who can drive, and the only one who would want to pay for food and parking :P

Going to the Beach – East Head Spit

So I went to the beach today, West Wittering beach, to be precise.

In geography we’re going to do a project next term, on a hypothesis about West Wittering beach in general. We have to come up with our own hypothesis, something like “Is West Wittering a good tourist resort”, or “Is WW a stable and sustainable beach”. Something like that. Then we have to do a big project proving or disproving that hypothesis. It’s a bit heavy going really. We were looking at some projects people did last year, and they were like 50 pages long! Some of the pages were just like a big picture or some graphs, but it’s still a rather big project to be compelted by October.

But, today I did the better part of the project. Went to the beach with my Mum, and just took lots of pictures :D I’ll sort out later how I’m going to use them in my project, but it was fun to do them today- I guess it’s proving that I’ve finally broken up from school.
