My name is Aran and I am 6 years old. My favourite toys are my trains and my computer. I have 5 train sets, all of them have some trains from Thomas the Tank Engine that run on them. My favourite train set is the original Thomas the Tank Engine set. I've got every single train from that set - over 100 trains in total.

My computer has 59 games on it, and now  I don't have to share it with Glenn any more. Some of my favourite games are  Legoland, Lego Racers and Lego Racers 2.  I can beat my Daddy if I race him on Lego Racers - he says he lets me win but he doesn't really. But my real favourite games are Return to Castle Wolfenstein ( Wolfie ) and Jedi 2,  both multiplayer games me and my Dad play on the internet against other people. I also like Galactic Battlegrounds, which is a Star Wars version of Age of Empires, Age of Empires II The Conquerors, Global Operations, Team Factor, Stronghold, Sim Golf, Bumper Cars, Fifa World Cup, Renegade, the Italian Job, Virtual Tennis, Heroes of Might and Magic II (Nanny and Grandad bought this for me), The Clone Campaigns, Tony Hawks pro Skater III, Grand Prix IV, Mobile Forces, Team Arena.

I've just come back from my holiday. I went to my caravan at Devon Cliffs - it belongs to me and Mummy and Daddy. I like the swimming pool best of all, I can swim under water if I have my gobbles on. I can also play Crazy Golf now as well. I went to Woodlands this year - I liked the Rapids Ride best there. I also liked the Master Blaster, although it was not as good as the one in the Millenium Dome.

I'm now in Year 2  at school. I like going to school. My best friends are called Ryan and Tom. I've been to Tom's house to play - he has got a bigger train set than I have.        

My favourite activities at school are playing in the sand and the water tray, maths and reading. I can read really well. Both Mummy and Daddy listen to me read and they both tell me how clever I am. I also like singing - I'm really good at Jingle Bells!

I want to be a train driver when I grow up.
