Hi
Guys, how are you?
I
have been on my travels again, this time to Edinburgh in Scotland, and what a
great time I had!
I
went to see the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and watched over a 1,000
pipers, drummers and dancers play the evening away at Edinburgh Castle. The
bagpipes make a lovely sound, but the ‘pipers’ need a lot of ‘puff’ to keep the
bagpipes playing. I tried – but didn’t have enough puff and only managed a
little squeak, followed by hiccups!
Have
a look at this picture of all the wonderful military musicians from the Armed
Forces; don’t their kilts and uniforms look spectacular?
I
am learning so much about different places. Last month it was France and saying
yes in French, which is ‘Oui’, and in Scotland they say, ‘Aye’ – how many
different ways can you say ‘yes’ – let me know.
1
Day, 10 hours and 4 minutes and counting down to the Paralympics 2012. I am just off to book my place on the settee
in front of the television. We have some fantastic athletes competing.
Don’t
forget to watch out for Great Britain’s Pippa Britton – Archery, and Louise
Hunt – Wheelchair Tennis.
I
am really looking forward to watching the Wheelchair Rugby and Boccia. Boccia
is great fun – ask at your local sports centre to see where the nearest Boccia
Club is to you.

There
are some 4,200 Paralympians from more than 150 countries competing in 20
different sports. Have a look at my coming newsletter, lots of fun facts and
pictures about the Paralympics and stories and poems to read. Four years ago
Great Britain won 42 Gold Medals and a total of 102 Medals in Beijing, coming 2nd
in the medals table – can we beat that in our home Paralympic Games?
So,
settle down, choose your favourite sport to watch and then write me a short
review on your ‘best bits’.
On
your marks, get set, Go, Go, Go!
Be
brilliant!
Benny
