 # Creating our own objects
 
+We've been using built-in objects like `str`, `int` and `float` but we can create our own objects as well!
+You might wonder *why* you would do this and that's a valid reflection.
+For beginners it's often a bit unclear when to create your own objects and when not.
+We'll go over some abstract examples to showcase the syntax and usage, then do a couple of practical exercises.
+
 ## First some *abstract* examples
 
-TODO simple animal or vehicle exercise
+A basic abstraction can be seen below.
+The main thing to take away from this code block is the new [keyword](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#class-definitions) `class`.
+Once the new `class` is defined, we can create an **instance** of this class.
+We can create as many instances as we want, just as with `str`!
+
+```python
+class Animal(object):
+    pass
+
+
+dog = Animal()
+dog.name = "bobby"
+dog.legs = 4
+
+print("the {} named {} has {} legs".format(
+    dog.__class__.__name__,
+    dog.name,
+    dog.legs,
+    )
+)
+```
+
+We can create as many attributes as we want and in the example above we do this for a `name` and a number of `legs`.
+An `Animal` will *always* have a `name` and a number of `legs` so why don't we foresee their existence?
+We can do this as follows.
+
+```python
+class Animal(object):
+    def __init__(self, name, legs):
+        self.name = name
+        self.legs = legs
+
+
+dog_1 = Animal("bobby", 4)
+dog_2 = Animal("dianne", 4)
+dog_3 = Animal("rex", 3)
+
+all_my_dogs = [dog_1, dog_2, dog_3]
+
+for dog in all_my_dogs:
+    print("the {} named {} has {} legs".format(
+        dog.__class__.__name__,
+        dog.name,
+        dog.legs,
+        )
+    )
+```
+
+Now, objects don't just possess *attributes*, they can also *do* things!
+Executing a piece of code should get you thinking about **functions**.
+A function belonging to a `class` is called a **method** and we can easily create them!
+
+```python
+class Animal(object):
+    def __init__(self, name, legs):
+        self.name = name
+        self.legs = legs
+
+    def speaks(self):
+        print("barks ~~{}~~!".format(self.name.upper()))
+
+
+dog_1 = Animal("bobby", 4)
+dog_2 = Animal("dianne", 4)
+dog_3 = Animal("rex", 3)
+
+all_my_dogs = [dog_1, dog_2, dog_3]
+
+for dog in all_my_dogs:
+    print("the {} named {} has {} legs".format(
+        dog.__class__.__name__,
+        dog.name,
+        dog.legs,
+        )
+    )
+    dog.speaks()
+```
+
+And just as with functions defined outside of a `class` we can add arguments to our own methods.
+
+```python
+class Animal(object):
+    def __init__(self, name, legs, owner):
+        self.name = name
+        self.legs = legs
+        self.owner = owner
+
+    def speaks(self):
+        print("barks ~~{}~~!".format(self.name.upper()))
+
+    def jumps_on(self, person):
+        if person == self.owner:
+            print("{} licks {}'s face...".format(self.name, person))
+        else:
+            print("{} growls in {}'s face".format(self.name, person))
+
+dog_1 = Animal("bobby", 4, "dave")
+dog_2 = Animal("dianne", 4, "alice")
+dog_3 = Animal("rex", 3, "dave")
+
+all_my_dogs = [dog_1, dog_2, dog_3]
+
+for dog in all_my_dogs:
+    print("the {} named {} has {} legs".format(
+        dog.__class__.__name__,
+        dog.name,
+        dog.legs,
+        )
+    )
+    dog.speaks()
+    dog.jumps_on("alice")
+    print("\t---\n")
+```
+
+🏃 Try it
+---
+
+Think of some other world objects you can create a class for and do so.
+The first one that comes to mind is vehicles but you can do anything that makes sense to you.
 
 ## Class inheritance
 
-TODO shapes and surfaces
+Inheritance is one of the four main pillars of Object Orientated Programming.
+The idea is pretty simple, classes can inherit behaviour from a *parent* class.
+For example, `Dog` and `Cat` are both `Animal` so they share common attributes and methods.
+
+```python
+class Animal(object):
+    def __init__(self, name, legs, owner):
+        self.name = name
+        self.legs = legs
+        self.owner = owner
+
+    def jumps_on(self, person):
+        if person == self.owner:
+            print("{} licks {}'s face...".format(self.name, person))
+        else:
+            print("{} growls in {}'s face".format(self.name, person))
+
+
+class Dog(Animal):
+    CALL = "barks"
+
+    def __init__(self, name, legs=4, owner=None):
+        Animal.__init__(self, name, legs, owner)
+
+    def speaks(self):
+        print("{} ~~{}~~!".format(self.__class__.CALL, self.name.upper()))
+
+
+class Cat(Animal):
+    CALL = "miauws"
+
+    def __init__(self, name, legs=4, owner=None):
+        Animal.__init__(self, name, legs, owner)
+
+    def speaks(self):
+        print("{} ~~{}~~!".format(self.__class__.CALL, self.name.lower()))
+
+
+class Parrot(Animal):
+    CALL = "creaks"
+
+    def __init__(self, name, legs=2, owner=None):
+        Animal.__init__(self, name, legs, owner)
+
+    def speaks(self):
+        print("{} ~~{}~~!".format(self.__class__.CALL, self.name.lower()))
+
+    def jumps_on(self, person):
+        print("you're silly, I'm a {}, I don't jump...".format(
+            self.__class__.__name__)
+            )
+    
+
+animal_1 = Dog(name="bobby", owner="dave")
+animal_2 = Dog(name="dianne", owner="alice")
+animal_3 = Cat("garfield", 3, "dave")
+animal_4 = Parrot("coco", "alice")
+animal_5 = Cat("gertrude", 3, "dave")
+
+all_animals = [animal_1, animal_2, animal_3, animal_4, animal_5]
+
+for animal in all_animals:
+    print("the {} named {} has {} legs".format(
+        animal.__class__.__name__,
+        animal.name,
+        animal.legs,
+        )
+    )
+    animal.speaks()
+    animal.jumps_on("alice")
+    print("\t---\n")
+```
+
+🏃 Try it
+---
+
+Take the additional class yyou made, such as vehicle and do some inheritance.
+For vehicles you could create a base class with a brand and number of wheels and seats.
+Then inherit for a bus, bike, car, cycle, etc.
