School Daze

First day of Primary School, not that tough! All you have to do is give someone your crayons and they’re your new best friend. And before you know it everyone in the class loves you and your crayons.

I’ve been to schools in three different countries. They were all very different, but one thing that was the same, was starting school. Everyone tells you that you’re not the only one that’s scared but you don’t believe it. Starting school can’t be mastered with practise, so remember that and soon you’ll be laughing over any mistakes you’ve made.

Tomb Raider Rocks!

I am obsessed with computer gaming if I could do anything for just one day that’s what I’d do.
My favorite game is DEFINITELY Tomb Raider. Out of all the games in the world I think it’s the best!
I only own four, TR1 remake TR6, TR7, TR8, but I still think I’m the most obsessed person in the world. I can’t explain why I love it so much, I just do.

I Don't Understand Animal Cruelty

I think animal cruelty is a self-centred thing to do and I don’t understand it.

I think people do it because animals are vulnerable and can’t protect themselves.

Hurting animals is a crime and people are often fined and jailed for their cruelty.

I think people are cruel to animals because they think they don’t have any value, but they do.

Even though there are centres to care for sick and injured animals we must all work together to help stamp cruelty out.

School Subject Choices? I Vote For More Flexibility

I already know what I want to be when I’m older I want to be a lawyer so particular subjects are pointless to me in school I think if your like me and you know what you want to be when your older you should be able to choose in your first year of high school because your responsible enough to keep on with your subjects you’ve chosen to do.

There is a chance that I might change my mind during my time at school.
But I don’t think it is unreasonable to ask the school to allow me that flexibility.

Hoping For Harry Potter This Christmas

29/11/08
I would normally watch Harry Potter ALL the time but my mummy stopped me from watching it. Because I was starting to get obsessed even my dreams were about Harry Potter. I would play Harry Potter games and I was Hermione. NOW that I am not watching all the time I am playing it all the time. It’s not bad. I am getting Harry Potter movie for Christmas.

Poem

In my English class
I have to write a poem
About a season


Summer Buzz

Grrr. I hate summer
Bees always chase after me
Why must they sting me?


Lovely Winter

I love the winter
Receiving gifts at Christmas
And giving them too!


Falling For Autumn

I love the autumn time
Colourful leaves on the ground
They are magical

Watching lambs in spring
Makes me want to jump for joy
Oh! It makes me smile

Colours like summer
Orange and yellow and red
They are so pretty
