In Jade class we were pretending we was John Joseph Merlin creating inventions. I chose roller skates to be my\Merlin’s invention
My favourite invention is the… MECHANICAL CHARIOT!!! I love this invention because it will make traveling sooooo much easier!
When I saw him I thought he was a king! But then I realised he invented ROLLER SKATES?! If I chose one of his inventions it would be the gouty chair! 🙂
When I first saw him I thought he was a sailor, but he is an inventor. I think that in his hand there is a small box or a key. I liked this painting because there are a lot of questions behind it, even if I don’t normally like portraits.
WOW Merlin is so good at inventing stuff I wish I was an inventor. Now that would just be EPIC . If he was still alive this is what I would of asked Did you make your inventions by your self? Cause you never know he might of asked someone to help him like his mum ,dad anyone . Just because their telling you it’s him you do really know if it’s actually him he might be taking all the credit . He looks likes a very rich man with that
Skeleton key in he’s hand he might be a rich man . When I first saw him I thought he was a captain of a ship and a at the end my class found he was an inverter I was SHOCKED. He made many more things not just the harpsichord he made roller skates a gouty chair he made loads of things and Its so remarkable that he did these things not being on his iPad or Apple MacBook well what if the didn’t have Apple things I there times
We liked the story about when he was playing the violin on his roller skates and crashed into a mirror.

Merlin is a great inventor. He is now my favourite inventor because he has made a range of fantastic inventions that are really cool and work on their own.
My favourite thing that he created was the mechanical swan because it is a very nice decoration to have in your house if you are having a party
