Today at school we did an African experience. The dancers, drummers and choir all did African things. It was quite good and I did dancing and choir. We had advanced recorders today which was OK. For lunch I had jacket potato with cheese and it was delicious. After school I did guides and we went on a walk. We had to go past one hundred corners and our group did one hundred and eleven corners. Nothing else happened.

Today was French Club. I got the result to my test last week and I only got two things wrong! For lunch, because it's Passover, Lucy and I got to have a jacket potato with tuna. Yummy! Not a lot else happened today. I did piano and that was quite good. I can't wait until Thursday because it's the last day of school! I don't really have anything else to write.

Today at school I told every-one about scout camp and cutting my finger. Also I told everyone about the netball tournament. Tonight we did the Seder meal. It was quite fun and lots of people from my class went. It's really quite late now so I'm going to bed.

Sunday 28Th March

I was a lot warmer last night. I wore: a T-shirt, two fleeces, a pair of trousers, socks, gloves and a hat. For breakfast we had ready made pancake mix. We cooked them on outdoor gas fires but ours didn't really work so all of our pancakes were under-cooked. We did three challenges today. Firstly archery. We had to shoot as many golds (centers) as we could with three arrows. The best score I got was nineteen out of thirty. Another time I shot a gold. When we did the real round of the most golds we shot five. The next activity was fire lighting. We had one hour. It took us a few minutes to light our fires and then we got to roast marshmallows on them. When our fires burned out we made feather sticks (sticks that are good for lighting fires). Then we did first aid. That was quite easy. After that we lit a fire together (in our patrol). We had to light using five matches or less. None of the boys could light it so I had the fifth match. I managed to light the fire but then one of the boys "accidentally" blow it out. Then we had lunch: ration packs. We had to put these plastic bags into boiling water to cook them. I had tuna rigatoni. It was really nice. Then we had the puddings. They were squidgy and sloppy and horrible (even though mine was supposed to be chocolate). Then we did the final activity: the gun run. It was this thing where we had a wooden cannon that we had to take apart, carry across a river, take through a children's playground and fix together again. It was hard and Ethan had to come on our patrol (because we had barely any people) and he sabotaged it! Then we took our camp down and packed our bags. Finally, our scout leader told every-one that our patrol won and we got two big chocolate bunny's to share between our patrol. They were nice. Then we came home and I had a warm shower. It felt really good. Then I went to bed really early.

Saturday 27Th March

At netball we came tenth in the whole region (Bath, Bristol and South Gloucestershire)! I am very pleased. Scout camp has been OK so far (Ethan and I left to go there yesterday). Last night we went on a night hike. It was really muddy. Also I only wore a short sleeved T-shirt, jogging bottoms and one sleeping bag last night. I was so cold because the tents are just canvas (like a sheet of plastic) held together with rope, a few poles and wooden pegs. Also, the camp is at the top of a hill so whenever I need the loo I have to put my walking boots on and go all the way down the hill to this hut that the Cubs were using. For breakfast today I had a cheese toasty, baked beans and fried bread. Every-one else who wasn't vegetarian had a bacon butty, beans and fried bread. Everything was cooked on a fire. Today we built camp gadgets out of wood and played this team game were you have a log and two pieces of wood and you have to use them to get the log all the way down and up the hill without touching the log or the log touching the ground. It was hard. Ethan's patrol came first but our patrol tried again later so we got second. Then we had lunch: a cup of powdered soup. I had vegetable. After that everybody had this piece of paper with stuff to do to get this badge but because I'm not in-rolled in Scouts I didn't get to. Instead I cut pieces of wood with an axe and I cut my hand. Then we had tea. It was a really nice stew thing and for pudding we had this really nice thing. It was a banana, cut open with slices of chocolate inside, cooked on the fire so the chocolate melted. Yummy! The last thing we did was have a campfire. Ethan and I talked before going to bed.

It was the digital switch over today. Well only part one. I did netball at school today. It is really exciting because we're going to either the county or the nationals (I'm not sure which) on Friday. I also had recorders, choir and Guides today. Guides was fun and we got a letter about going on this trip with guides. It sounds really good. Here is part two of the story.

"Where is it?" someone shouted.

"I dunno!" replied someone else. My eyes shot around the room. I needed to get out of this dump before... I swallowed. Two small feet trotted into the room. Above me the bed springs were stretched. Suddenly the upside-down face of a three year old stared at me.

"Hello." she said happily. I clasped my hand over her lips.

"Shh! Do you know a way to get out of here?" I whispered nervously. The girl shook her head. "Rat's!" I thought. Then I suddenly had an idea.

"Hey, what's your name?" I asked softly.

"Cally!" replied the girl.

"Well Cally. You really should let your dad know that I'm here. And you should tell him about the eggs on the kitchen windows."

"Why?" asked Cally.

"Well he might give you a Lolly pop in the kitchen." I replied. Cally's face lit up.

"Dad!" she yelled, "Come here!"

"What is it Cally?" asked a rough man.

"The girl under the bed said that I should tell you about the eggs on the windows in the kitchen" Cally announced proudly.

Well. I had the school photo today. It was the class photo. Also we are doing an explanation in groups in school. In my group we have to explain how a rain drop gets around the world. I did piano which was OK. Not a lot else happened today. I have decided that on my blog I will do a story. Here is part one. It's quite late so it might be rubbish.

I searched frantically through the pile of newspapers. Where was it? It had to be here somewhere! I turned over the front page of Saturday's paper. There it was. I stared at the front page only to see myself grin back at me holding the bottle. Saturday. That was three days ago. Things had changed so much since then. A single, pearly tear ran down my cheek. "Oh mum." I whispered, "Why did you have to leave?" If only I hadn't won the contest. I shook my head. If only. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. As quick as a flash, I scooped up the newspaper and ran into the room next door. As I lay frozen under the bed I heard shouts from the other room...

Read part two of my story, coming soon to a blog near you!

Monday today. Ugh! We had P.E. Ugh! We didn't do much else. I have decided that there is no point for me to do a blog if nobody reads it. So by Friday If I don't have more than 5 comments from at least 2 people I will stop doing my blog for private use and it will just be for me to read.

It was my friends party today. Me and another girl in my class were already at her house (because we had come for a sleepover). At the sleepover for our midnight feast we ate: a whole box of Roses, a packet of strawberry laces each, a packet of aero bubbles (we shared them between us), a packet of mini eggs (shared) and half a big packet of tic-tack's. It was very yummy. Two other girls in my class came around and we went to Dyrham park. It was more exciting than I thought it might be and my dad had to come (because my friends family didn't have enough seats in their car. It's school tomorrow and a Monday. Ugh!

I really don't like Mondays. We didn't do much today. I was a blue-hat today. Also we had P.E. We did tag rugby which was OK. I was on the blue team and we won overall. But it was a bit rubbish because I didn't even touch the ball once. Lucy's friend came around today. That was OK. I'm going to go now.

It was the science fair today. It was quite good and I made:a bouncy ball, a harmonica, a bath bomb and a fossil of a sea urchin. It was also a spelling test today which was really annoying because I spelt dissatisfied like that but the teacher said that it should be spelt disatisfied which is wrong! (I checked in the dictionary and I spell checked it!) After school it was the cake sale. I bought a fairy cake, popcorn and a rice crispy cake. They were yummy! I went to scouts and we did the code of conduct and bug out bags (bags that you can grab in a Tsunami or earthquake.) That is all I did today!

I had a great day today. This morning I played with Maisy and then in the afternoon I went to my friends house. We played with LEGO and it was James Bond. Apart from that not much happened today apart from it was the Bath Marathon so all the traffic came down our road because the other roads were closed. Also I drew this picture on paint today. I don't know why I drew it I just kind of got bored. I have a really annoying tooth that is really wobbly but it wont come out! Nothing else happened today except Lucy went to a horse riding party. So I'm kind of bored.

No school today! I spent most of the day playing with Maisy. Lucy's friend came round and I went to swimming. Last night Ethan went on scout camp but he came back today (unfortunately). He said that there was meant to be 300 people going on camp but only 10 went! So the people who did go got to eat loads and do loads of abseiling. That made him happy! Anyway I'm going to bed now.

At school today we didn't do much. We were going to show our medals (for netball) in assembly but we are going to do it on Monday instead. After school I went to scouts. It was really fun. We went shooting at King Edwards. When I used an air-riffle I scored 10 with 3 shots. When I used the pistol I shot 2 shots in one place and I accidentally shot the light bulb under the target! That's about all that happened today apart from Tracy Beaker returns and Spirit Warriors was on. They were OK.

It was environment day to day. Forester (the house team that I'm in) did cookie mining in Y5 first. You had to get chocolate chips out of a cookie using only cocktail sticks. We looked at how mining coal destroys land. Then we got to eat the cookie. After that we went to Y4. We made wind mill things out of plastic paper. Then we did butterflies in Y3 where we drew pictures of endangered butterflies. Finally we did a design for an ecological house in Y6. It was a good day. We also had advanced recorders and netball. I am very excited because tomorrow is the netball tournament. Tonight is guides. Also at school we will get to dress up as our favourite characters of a book tomorrow. So yeah.

It was an OK day today. I had French club and we learnt SUR which means on. It was also the fair trade assembly. That wasn't that good. After school today Lucy went to a tea party so dad brought Maisy to school. That was very good. I also had piano which was quite good. Right now we are watching Horizon which is about ancient humans and our different diets. I started to read Girls out late and Lola Rose. They are both by Jacqueline Wilson. Today we ate some of the cakes that me and mum made yesterday after school. They are really nice and they have butter icing on them. I'm just about to eat one now. Anyway I'm going to go and eat my cake.

Pinch punch first of the month. Today is the first of March and the first day of our school environment week. This morning I woke up really tired. I got out of bed at quarter past eight. I had to get ready really quickly. When we got to school, at lunch time, some people in environment club had their photo taken. I was one of them and it might be in the paper!

When I came home Lucy went to a party so me and mum made cakes. We have just finished doing the butter icing. I tested a cake and it was delicious! That's all that happened today so I'm going to go to bed.

Goodbye!

P.S:Ethan says that it's pie week?
