Minecraft

I have recently brought and installed Minecraft, which is an online game about building and surviving in your newly created world. I've got some Minecraft books which help me learn to do things in the game.

I've been playing it for about a month and once, I dug a hole, put a torch on one side jumped in and placed a trapdoor on top.
When you are playing just try to survive! What you have to do is survive by making things from the world you are in. You can make tools like a wooden pickaxe and you kill things to get food. Be aware of monsters in the night! If you have made enough torches (1 block of coal and 1 stick = 4 torches) that would stop them spawning in your shelter.
I'm still learning, but next time I'll make a huge cave shelter and then put a door on the front.

My presents

A few days ago, I had lots of presents for new year.
Some of the things I got were a fishing rod, two Lego sets, two minecraft books and lots of other books. As well as that, we got a trampoline! My favourite present was my fishing rod. I'll show you some of the presents.

My veggie garden

Today i'm going to tell you about my veggie garden. I'm growing basil, tomatoes, wheat, peppers, garlic and strawberries. Luckily, my dad has an irrigation system. That means I don't have to water them! Sometimes I go out and pick the weeds out of the garden bed. After I've done that, I pick the flowers off the basil or it won't make enough leaves. I'm looking forward to my wheat once it's grown, then I'm going to make a mini bread roll! Here are some pics from today of my plants.
