MOSQUITOES
People hate mosquitoes. Mosquitoes fly around us at night and they drink our blood.
They can make us ill, too. They sometimes carry viruses or the malaria bacteria.
These diseases kill two million people around the world every year!
Mosquitoes like places with water. They have got thousands of eggs and they leave
their eggs in the water. Then the insects grow there. Mosquitoes also like dark
colours and places. Their favourite time to look for food is at night.
So what can you do about these horrible insects? Here are some ideas:
• Don’t leave water near your house: No water means no mosquito eggs.
• Wear long clothes at night: Short clothes are an invitation to mosquitoes. They
say, Come and get your next meal!

your clothes. Mosquitoes hate them!

year in June in the Welsh town of Llanwetyd Wells. Hundreds of people and horses
from all over the world participate in the race.
The marathon has got very simple rules. Humans and horses can run in the race,
but each horse must have a rider. Humans and horses run for 35 kilometres and the
first person or horse to pass the finish line wins the race. The race starts in the town
centre and then the runners race over roads, up hills and across fields and streams.
Horses can run very fast so they usually win the race. Huw Lobb, from London, is

STEVEN BOYLE
Steven Boyle has got a very special job. He designs and makes creatures for films.
He also puts make-up on the actors and gives them a completely new and
frightening look. You can see Boyle’s work in many famous films, including King
Kong, Star Wars and Under the Mountain.
In Under the Mountain, there are creatures from another planet. These creatures –
the Wilberforces – look like humans in the beginning, but later they change into ugly
creatures. Boyle’s make-up and designs are very unusual. He makes the creatures
look very frightening and realistic.
Sometimes, putting make-up on the actors is harder than designing the creatures.
One actor, Oliver Driver, plays the head of the Wilberforce family. Driver’s make-up
is more complicated than the make-up on the other actors. He has got a silicone
face, false ears, hair and teeth and special contact lenses in his eyes. You can’t
recognise him at all! The transformation is amazing and Boyle is happy with the
results. He loves his job!

GUY’S BLOG
Hi everyone!
I’m home in London now, but last week, I was at a friend’s house in Illinois, USA.
There’s an amazing building in the area – a big, gold pyramid. Pyramids are
something you rarely see in the USA and the gold pyramid is really a house. It was
the idea of a man called Jim Onan. Onan’s pyramid is smaller than some of the
pyramids in Egypt, but it’s real gold.
Onan loves Egyptian antiques, and the pyramid house is full of old Egyptian
paintings, furniture and statues. There are three living rooms, a dining room, five
bedrooms and a kitchen. The rooms aren’t cold and dark like the real pyramids
because they’ve got some windows for light. There are three small pyramids in the
garden for the family’s cars, and a tall statue of the ancient Egyptian king, Ramses.
There’s also a model of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. In the past, the house was open
to the public, but it’s rarely open to the public now.
You can see satellite pictures of the pyramids and statues on the Internet. They’re
amazing!
