My Dreadful Day at School

Hi, I’m Benny Adams, I had a dreadful day at school yesterday, probably the worst day I’ve ever had! A singing inspector came to hear us sing. He was an ugly young man, very strict, he wore large knickerbockers and had dark blue eyes like blueberries. His name was Mr. Raymond.

When we entered the singing hall we all had to do the Doh Ray Me So Fah and tata tete things. Once we had done all our warm - ups, Mr. Raymond called Charles and I to stand in front and sing.

I was petrified, I didn’t know about Charles but I could see he was shaking from the corner of my tearful eyes. Then Mr. Raymond called me “the long one” which I hated because that’s what everyone calls me, and then Charles was considered as “the short one” this made me angry but I tried to hide it.

Mr. Raymond then asked us to sing, Charles looked at me as if to say “help!” We did not know a single song, I was getting even more terrified by now. Mr Raymond was now pointing his long oak wood stick at the modulator and looking at his watch. The singing inspector then asked us in a irritated tone if we knew Bluebells of Scotland or Minstrel Boy?

Mr. Raymond got angry and then said in a roaring voice “what can you sing?”. Charles and I had to think fast, after 15 seconds (which seemed to be a thousand years) “We can sing Pretty Polly” blurted out Charles in a weak voice. Then I heard a girl named Iris giggle behind us and then I heard her friend giggle. The giggles spread fast and soon they transformed into thunderous laughter.

We began to sing, but I have to admit that it was horrendous singing. Charles sang in a deep growling voice. I sang in a high pitched voice because I was so afraid. During the middle of the first verse Charles and I stopped because we both ran out of breath. Mr. Raymond then shouted louder than ever “ Waste of time you two voiceless idiots in a singing class! Send them out!”

Charles and both ran out the singing hall at the same time, lighting fast. Charles ran back to class but I ran to the bathroom to cry.

    I loved reading your blog, Alon! Your narration flows easily as you express your character's feelings so convincingly. You have organised your story into well-planned paragraphs, and have edited your spelling and punctuation very carefully. Great job!

The Butterfly Lion

I feel very happy the way the book is going now, it is very interesting. I really recommend it, my favorite part was when Bertie (the main character) got to keep the white lion I felt euphoric! The part that I felt sad about was when Bertie had to move to England and then he had to scare the lion with a gun shot so he could run away and the part when Bertie's father shot the white lion's mother. I love the fact that Bertie found his white lion again and he married Millie. (Bertie's friend) I'm very angry that Bertie's dad married another women and made Bertie go to school.

Treasure Hunt, Swiftplayground

Treasure Hunt  Learn to code 1, Functions We are currently learning to code on Swiftplayground, the video above is one of the challenges that we had to complete called ‘Treasure Hunt’. Our challenge was to decompose patterns and create our own functions. The first function that I made was to reach the switch, toggle it, turn around and reach the next switch, toggle it, turn around and walk back to where it started. Then I made the byte (the small character) turn to face the next row. Once the byte had turned around, it had to move to reach the first switch, then toggle the switch, reach the second switch, toggle it, turn around and then repeat. This code I found simple.
