I haven't written on my blog for quite a while now. But that's because I haven't wanted to, since people have laughed at me. Some people I know said they thought my blog was weird. Do you think it's odd or do you like it? I'd like to know. Please let me know by adding a comment. Thanks.

Hello,today after school me and my dad went to Sainsbury's to by some compost and grow trays for my pumpkin seeds that my Grandma had sent to me.After,when I got home I gathered some stones from my back garden and put them in the grow trays then I filled each one of the trays with compost and then I put the seeds in and watered them. Then I put them in my small greenhouse. My Dad said they should put their heads above the surface in about a week's time.

My holiday at my caravan

2008-04-20T07:38:00.002+01:00

Hi, I went to my caravan on Saturday 12th April and stayed for a week with my Mum. My Dad couldn't get down because he had to do work. In that week I played with my friend Jack and played with my other friends Rhys and Owen. Because we had a shop at the site most mornings I cycled up there with Jack and sometimes his little sister Charlotte. We bought the papers and sometimes we were allowed to have excess money and we could go into the clubhouse to spend that excess money on, say, crane machines or driving games.

And the mornings I didn't get the papers with Jack and Charlotte I went swimming with my Mum in the pool. While the park was closed in the winter they made the hall which normally leads to the swimming pool and the clubhouse into a whole load more of changing rooms which are good because the changing rooms you go in one side and out the other and it's good because there's two locks that go down but you only have to close both doors and you pull down one because they are both connected. I think they are connected by a simple bar going to one from another.

One afternoon I visited Halfords in Bognor which is near my caravan because we are in Pagham and while we were there because my bike at the caravan was rusty in most parts like the chain and all the bolts we bought a new bike. My new bike had front and rear suspension and 12 gears but you can only go up to 6th gear.

Another morning after we had been swimming I went down to Runcton garden centre which is also near my caravan. We looked at the plants because last year our plant tubs had been nicked and Mummy said I could buy a little toy which was a jack in the box.

I'm going to Windsor on a school trip

2008-03-04T07:43:00.002Z

Today I'm going on a school trip to Windsor. For lunch we are going to Pizza Hut. We are going on the Long Walk, seeing the riverside train station, seeing the Castle, seeing the crooked cottages and going to the shops. I'm looking forward to it. We will be put into groups of six and in a mixture of the classes who are going which are Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5. That's all for now.

PS. I'll update you tomorrow or by the end of the week on how the school trip went. Plus I'll have some pictures and maybe I'll put some on my blog.

What I've Been Doing

2008-02-29T18:44:00.002Z

Sorry I haven't done my blog since September.

Now what I've been doing (the real subject..!)

Over Christmas and my birthday I got wonderful presents from my family and friends. The Christmas presents I had (the ones I can remember) were: Matchbox Mega Rig Sharks, two giant chocolate bars, a racing car game and Simpsons pyjamas. For my birthday I got: three new Nintendo DS games, a new dressing gown, lots of birthday cards and loads more presents.

Now I'm doing lots of clubs at school. They are: football club, art club, gym club, story reading club and chess club. I'm also doing swimming in school hours.

And we are going to have two new neighbours because my next door neighbour and another neighbour is moving house. My next door neighbour is moving just over the road (nearly literally) into a new house development called The Fallows and they are being built by George Wimpey. George Wimpey have been working since March 2007 and are putting 120 buildings.

That's all for now - the latest news from Elliot Jones.

PS. Thank for everyone who has waited since September for me to update my blog (website). I will try really hard to maintain doing my blog every two weeks or less or more up to a month. Goodbye...!

The holidays...!

2007-09-04T07:22:00.000+01:00

My summer holiday was exciting because I had a two week holiday at my caravan in Pagham near Bognor Regis and is about 35 minutes away from Portsmouth. In them two weeks Daddy had to do two radio interviews. One when Mummy, me, Daddy and Grandad were together and before Daddy was interviewed the first time we had lunch in the Santa Fe restaurant. And then we met together again by the Nike shop in Gunwharf Quays which is where we had lunch while Daddy had his interview. And Daddy bought me some three quarter length white Nike trousers for being good in the first week. We might have gone up the Spinnaker Tower but Daddy said we couldn't. For starters it was too windy and it was swaying about and there was a queue of about 130 people trying to get in. The next time Daddy was interviewed Mummy wasn't there so I had to go with Daddy and we brunged some games for me to play with. And then for being good in that and the man who was looking after me said I was good so Daddy bought me some brown Nike trousers from the Nike shop for being good. That's all from my caravan that I'm going to give you.

After I went to my caravan I went to Jubilee Jets holiday club which is where Mummy and Daddy take me to have fun while Mummy and Daddy work. I go on the quad bikes, I go on the trampoline, I go on my bike, I go on the bouncy castle that Jubilee owns, I go in the sand pit and trust me on this the diameter from the side to side is about three metres and the length is about ten metres and there's gallons of sand. And then I kept going there for about three weeks and I only had one week left of my holidays so we had Aldermaston village show which is where the village gets together to do a show and my Mummy is one of my school governors which is Aldermaston CE Primary School. So we put up a stall with my Daddy's new £100 display set and all of the children the whole school had done loads of work but our school git flooded so all the work that was done was wet and ruined. So the head teacher sent out some letters saying to all of the mummies and daddies can you ask your children to draw some pictures or write any poems or something like that because all our school work was lost in the flood. So I did a piece and Maisie in my class did a piece here sister Phoebe did a piece and Lucy did a piece in my class and her little brother Alexander did a piece and that's all I can think of and we have like module units my Mummy calls them being delivered because Peter Oldridge the organiser of the show went up in an airoplane the day the module units were delivered because the school was washed through with mankie water and that's why we have the module units. He had bird's eye view picture so right overhead. They take up the whole playground which is 100 metres by 100 metres and that's only for three classes. We got ground pictures of the crane and the day after we have a big open space next to our house and it's green and we call it The Green cos it's got grass and conker trees and we have lots of children who live around the area near the green and we all collect conkers but some of the bigger ones don't. And that's the end of my summer holidays.

Flood..!!!! I had to be rescued by boat...!!!!!

2007-07-29T08:34:00.000+01:00

Hey guys, sorry about I haven't done my blog since May but this is gonna be an exciting one....I got rescued by boat from my school....out of the library window...!

We had a flood. The whole school was flooded. Water was up to my knees. The fire and rescue service had to take us by boat to the other side of the village on the hill and our motor was four men. The water was up to their tummy where you come out of school by the gates.

We then went to the village hall and we had to say our names to one of the office people and a policeman. They wrote our name down. I got collected by my friend Lucy's mummy.

My mummy and daddy were stuck in the floods. Mummy had to stay in Reading overnight with a friend from work. Daddy had to abandon his car while my friend Lucy's mum took me to my friend Teo's house. Daddy took five hours to get home and he collected my from Teo's house and I went to sleep as soon as I got in.

Back to school

2007-05-06T08:40:00.000+01:00

This morning I am at my caravan eating my breakfast. My Auntie Jela and Uncle Richard are coming here today and we are going to have a barbecue and go swimming at the swimming pool. I started back at school last week and this week it was our year 2 class assembly. I had to play my recorder on my own and we did some country dancing.

Getting a new caravan

2007-04-04T07:36:00.000+01:00

Our new caravan is made by Willerby and its make is a Winchester. It's got a few quite good features. The first one is there's like well it looks like a cupboard but when try to pull the cupboard open it slides out like an enormous drawer. The next feature is a cupboard in which is a bin and when you open the cupboard the bin swings out from its lid because the bin is attached to the door and the lid is attached the side of the cupboard but not the door. The new caravan has double glazing, central heating and one door that I don't like. I don't like it because I would rather have two doors like the old caravan. The new caravan is second hand. And because it's second hand there is a little bit of damage on it. The first bit of damage is on the right hand side of the front and is a broken gutter corner but that is going to be fixed. The second bit of damage is the thing that keeps the door open is snapped off. So that will be fixed as well.

Have I broken the school record?

2007-02-25T08:33:00.000Z

I think I have broken the school house point record because this week in one afternoon I have received 15 house points, I got 5 for science, because we had to do this sheet and find 6 ways to make a little toy car move. Everybody first wrote down push in one box, pull in the other box and spin in the next box and some people like me could blow it so we wrote that in the next box and that made us have 4 but we had to have ways to make the car move. Then Mrs Burridge my teacher said if anyone can be a super scientist and find 2 more ideas to make the car move then for one idea you will get 5 house points and for the other idea exactly the same, 5 house points. I was working really hard trying to come up with new ideas to make the car move then I put the car on my arm and made it slpe down so the car rolled down my arm, then I went to show my teacher and she said 'Children, STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN'. After we were quiet she said Elliot has found the first super scientist idea, she said it was putting your little car on your arm and making your arm like a slope and letting go of your car and you will find your car will move down. Then the whole class wrote in the fifth box slope. Then we all went back to experimenting. Then I tried dropping the car and a few other experiments, I found these did not work so well, but the drop did, so I went up to Mrs Burridge and told her I'd found another one, I showed her dropping the car. Then she stopped the class again and said Elliot has found the second super scientist idea, dropping. My friends were amazed, so they wrote down my idea which was dropping your car. Then I showed my sheet to my teacher and she said I could have 10 house points as I had found both super scientist ideas. The other housepoints were for bits and bobs over the afternoon totalled 5 making a total of 15 house points.

Bye bye computer!

2007-02-04T08:29:00.000Z

I am selling my computer because I don't like it. I don't like it because it is chunky. I am getting my Daddy's laptop instead. And Daddy is buying a new laptop for himself. I am selling my computer on Ebay. Daddy I said I might get £100 for it.

Lately I have been tidying up my bedroom. I have a had a big clear out and I have thrown away most of my books. I had three shelves of books now there are only two.. Because I have had such a big clear out I have got two shelves empty. I am planning soon to tidy up my games cupboard. In my games cupboard I used to have lots of little cars, most of them were Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. I have only got ten Hot Wheels cars left. I have moved some of my furniture around and bought a canvas wardrobe. Next to my bed I used to have a pine box full of cuddly toys. Now it is by my drawers of clothes. And I used to have some pine drawers as well. I can't remember where the pine drawers but now they are in front of my pine box in my bedroom near my clothes drawers. Also I sorted out one of my cupboards, not the games cupboard. That other cupboard used to have a train track in. We put in the garage because I had had it for a long time and I were getting a little too old for it and part of it was cracked. So I put that in the garage along with all the other stuff I had in there including a big box full of Playmobil. In there now I have some shelves in there and all my birthday and Christmas games and toys. For Christmas I got four selection boxes and I have a giant sack of presents from my Mum and Dad. Christmas was really fun.

A busy week

2007-01-15T19:07:00.000Z

Lately at Tai Kwaen Do I got my new belt. My new belt is yellow and white. That makes me the second most senior person in the group. Recently some new children joined the group including one of my neighbours. And here is my new belt.

One the 14th January I went to my old friend's house. His name is George and I used to go to nursery with him. At his house we dug a deep big hole in the garden. When we came back in, his dog Izzie sniffed me and she jumped up at me and head butted me in the tummy. But not very hard. After we had dug the hole I noticed my fingernails were really dirty and full of mud. For lunch at my friend's house we had a Sunday roast because the 14th January was Sunday.

I'm getting ready for Christmas

2006-12-17T09:12:00.000Z

Yesterday I had Christmas lunch with my Grandad and Grandma and my Uncle and Auntie. I also had Christmas lunch at school on Friday and at Christmas lunch at school we had crackers and out of my cracker came a spinning top. After school I went to my after school club where there was a big Christmas party. Father Christmas came to the party and gave us presents. The presents were a toy battle ship, Knex and a wooden pirate ship. By the way, me and my Mum and Dad haven't even got our Christmas tree up yet and all our decorations but we're doing them today the 17th of December.

2006-11-30T18:02:00.000Z

On Friday the 24th November it was my 7th birthday. I had a birthday party, I played there and had loads of fun with my friends. I loved it. It was brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For my birthday I got a baseball and a baseball glove and a telescope and two Bionicles and hangman and a Nintendo DS. And Dinodig. Dinodig is a plastic bones of a T-rex in stuff that you can crack. And I had a big hug from my Mummy and Daddy and my whole family. My Grandma came over to stay and we went to Pizza Hut. And I had a Dalek birthday cake.

My Holiday

2006-08-14T07:56:00.000+01:00

On the 1st August I went down to my caravan with my Mummy but Daddy had to stay at home because he had to do some work. But I had some friends there from before because they were owners like me and my Mummy and Daddy. The first few days with my Mummy my Mum pottered around in the caravan and I played with my friends Reyes and Owen. Then on the 4th August my Daddy came down and on the night of the 4th August we gave Daddy a treat for his first night at the caravan and the treat was to eat in the complex. The next day we went shopping in Bognor for Mummy's birthday present. I bought her a gooey foot massager. The next day we went to my Auntie Jela's 50th birthday party in her garden. And it was brilliant. The next day we went to the Isle of Wight on the hovercraft. First on the Isle of Wight we got off the hovercraft and we walked over the raliway bridge then me and Mummy tried to find the toilets while Daddy bought a disposable camere for me. At first me and Mummy couldn't find the toilets so we waited for Daddy at the shop he went into to get the disposable camera and then we all found some toilets nearby. And then we waited for a bus that took us on a tour all over the Isle of Wight. We got off the bus at Amazon World. Amazon World is animals from the Amazon rain forest. And then after we had looked at all the amazing animals we walked out of Amazon World to go into the shop of Amazon World then we went to the toilets. After that I went on the adventure playground there. After that we caught the bus that took us on another tour and on the way we were going up a steep hill and the driver was a bit funny and he said "is there any volunteers to get out and help me push". And all the kids said "YES". On the way down the hill there was a conker tree and because were on the top of the bus and it was open top and there was a massive conker hanging on the conker tree and it was really spiky and it me just on the forehead. Then we went to have lunch at a posh hotel. And the hotel's name was the Yelf's Hotel. Then Daddy and me walked into a wallet shop to get me a new wallet because I lost my other wallet. Luckily no money was inside it. So we had to try and find a new one and not any wallet in there were the right size for my pocket so we coudln't buy any there. Then we walked down the hill to some souvenir shops and we looked in there and I couldn't find anything for a souvenir but I found one thing that was a fridge magnet and it was a hovercraft. After we had been in the souvenir shop we walked back to the hovercraft and then we all went to use the toilet. Then we got on the hovercraft and went back to Southsea and while we were at Southsea we had a go on pirate crazy golf. It was brilliant. After that we went on a few games then we walked back to the car and we drove off trying to find a place to have dinner cos we had no dinner at home. Eventually we found a place called the Selsey Tram. There was a coincidence with the pirate crazy golf and the kid's menu at the Selsey Tram becuase the kid's menu was a pirate's menu and the pirate crazy golf. So me and my Daddy thought it was a very funny coincidence. Then we went back to the carava. By that time it was nine o'clock so I had to go to bed. But before I went to bed I could go and see the lights in Bognor. The next day Daddy was working in London so Mummy pottered around so I could play with my friends Reyse and Owen. In the afternoon I went to see a display for the RNLI at Pagham Yacht Club. And it included the India Juliette the rescue helicopter. And I went with my friends Reyse and Owen and their mum Gloria and my mum Cathy because India Juliette is the rescue coastguard helicopter in the TV programme Seaside Rescue and I watch Seaside Rescue but I really wanted to see the coastguard helicopter India Juliette with my own eyes so that's why I went. Late at night Daddy came home then he went to bed. The next day we went to finish Mummy's birthday shopping. In the afternoon I had to go to my friend's birthday party cos his birthday was the same day as my Mummy's so there was a kid's party at 12 o'clock to one. After that me and my friend Reyse we went down to do this new thing at the complex it was called circus acts. And my Daddy gave me three pounds to buy some juggling balls at the end. Then me and Reyse walked back to our caravans from the complex. Then in the evening there was a party for my Mummy and my friend Owen. It was brilliant. Reyse and Owen invited two lifeguards Samantha and Gary. After we had eaten we popped 50 party poppers and then for a birthday treat for Owen and his brother Reyse and me my Daddy drove us all to see Bognor lights. The next day it was my Mummy's birthday. After I had given Mummy's birthday presents to her Mummy and me went out for a swim at the complex. After that I made a new friend called Sam that was visting Church Farm Holiday Village where my caravan is. I played with him for a little while and then I said "bye bye I'll see you in half an hour". While I was playing with my new friend Sam my Daddy was loading up his car to go home with me and my Mummy was loading up her car to go home on her own. Then Reyse and Owen came round, Owen opened his present from me and my Mummy and Daddy. Then my Mummy opened her present from Reyse, Owen and Gloria. After that we had some birthday cake and everybody thought it was yummy. Then I went to my friend Sam and said "bye bye" and then I jumped in my Dad's car and set off home. Twenty minutes later my Mum set off home. And that was the end of my holiday.

My Daddy went to the United States of America

2006-07-30T18:35:00.000+01:00

Eight days ago my Daddy, Graham Jones, went to the USA. First he had a nine hour flight to Orlando. He went to a conference in Orlando. After that he went to Boston on a plane and he stayed in Boston for two nights running. While he was there he bought me T-shirt that said "Boston" on it. After that he had a six hour flight to Heathrow airport. The next day running my Daddy Graham Jones had to go all the way to Gatwick Airport on the train because he flew into Orlando from Gatwick Airport. So his car was at Gatwick and he had to go and collect it the day after he came back from Boston. I were really pleased to see him; I missed him while he was away.

I lost my tooth today

2006-05-09T19:04:00.000+01:00

Today the 9th of May 2006 I lost my big front tooth at the top and do you know how it came out? I will tell you the story of how it fell out. Well, at breaktime play in the morning I were running around with my really, really wobbly front tooth and then I bashed into a wall and it came very very very very very very wobbly. And then at the end of play I got pushed into a door as all the other children came in. And then it got really really really really really really really really really really really wobbly. And then as I came in I skidded on the carpet and I hit my chin on it. And then as I were doing maths I accidentally wobbled and hit my chin on the carpet again and then my really really really really really really really really wobbly tooth came out. And that was in the middle of maths. And I put my hand up and said "my tooth came out" and Laura who is helping now in our class she helped me stick it on to a piece of orange card and then I put it in my bag.

New things in my house

2006-05-08T07:48:00.000+01:00

Recently I have had loads of new things in my house. I have had new carpet along the landing and along the stairs. New painted ceilings in the hall and along the landing and on the landing we've had painted walls and we're having our toilet painted. And we have had a new toilet seat and new painted banisters. We've had new guttering, new soffits and new windows.

My Grandad Lew has been in hospital two times cos he has collapsed two times. He is very poorly now. He can't even do phone calls he is so poorly. I have sent him a get well card and it had five pounds in it.

As well I have had a new scooter that flashes. If you want one go in the Argos catalogue and it is £19.99. It's really good.

At school there has been a lot of competitions lately. There's a Google Doodle one, and draw a picture of the Queen one. I have entered both of them and here are my pictures below.

New things I've got

2006-05-04T06:57:00.000+01:00

My Daddy had a new laptop computer and a new mobile phone. And with his old laptop computer he gave it to me and yesterday I sent my Daddy an email message from my new laptop. Did you know I have got one computer of my own and now one laptop computer of my own and did you know my school you get certificates if you have been there for a whole term without being absent or being on holiday. And I managed to not be on holiday and not be absent so I got a certificate. And this is it.
