22 March 07 - 12:06Tartan

Tartan is a thread made out of wool. It can be woven in many different colours. Tartan began from woven cloth. The Scots brought it over from Ireland. The Celts started wearing tartan the earliest. Tartan is made up from crisscrossing multicolour threads. Tartan is important for Scottish people all over the world. Tartan patterns have been used for centuries. The estimated time for when tartan began is about the 3rd century. When most people hear the word tartan they think about kilts. They think about kilts because that is the traditional dress of Scotland.

21 March 07 - 21:34My Dog Jess

This is my dog Jess. She is 4 years old. I got her from Dogstrust 6 months ago. She is a Jack Russel Terrier crossed with a Yorkshire Terrier. She is always on the move and HYPER!!! She goes to Glens Dog Training on Wednesday nights and hasn't been for a while. I have to take her for a walk in the morning before school, when I get home from After Care, after she has had her dinner and before I go to bed. She is allowed off her lead for most walks. Jess does not particuarly like other dogs and tends to go for them. She likes to chase bikes, motorbikes and runners. When I take her a walk I have to pick up her number 2's because in this country if you get caught leaving it behind you can get fined at up to £500 by the Police.

02 March 07 - 12:01Australia

The country I would like to visit is Australia. Australia is home to lots of animals. When we in Scotland get winter they get summer and it is very hot! Australia is famous for the Great Barrier Reef and the Sydney Opera House. Australia is located just under the Equator in the Southern Hemisphere. I would like to go to Australia to see the wildlife and visit lots of animal parks.
