A day in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement

I woke up and I had little food for breakfast and didn’t really enjoy it. After breakfast I walked to school first I have to walk out of my village, I really don’t like It because it full of trash. I left  very early because my school is far away.When I got to school my feet we’re paining by the time I walked into the classroom I was relieved when I sat down. My teacher put us into groups to share the few text books we had but that took a long time because they’re are 80 children in my class. I was put at the back of the class and couldn’t hear what the teacher was saying. We started with Maths which was a bit hard because I couldn’t hear everything my teacher said. After maths it was break time but I didn’t have everything to eat so the school gave me something to eat and I was exhilarated.

At the end of the day I walked back home with no transportation. When I was walking home I found some money to take the bus instead of walking. I was thrilled that I didn’t have to walk all the way back home.When I got home I had to try and make me supper from the food we had because my mom and dad weren’t home yet they only come home at 9:00. After my supper I got a blanket lay it down on the ground and then lay down and slept. I couldn’t wait until the next day because I was moving in to a new better home


The next day was moving day I was moving into my new home. It has a vegetable garden and 
proper bed not just a blanket. I was delighted when I saw it it had lots of a marvelous stuff. But I still hope that one day I can get a proper house and go to a better school.

    A good effort, Seth. Some good insight shown. A few grammatical errors are visible

I used the not operator to indicate to left right or forward. I also used the and operator to do two things at a time. I used the or operator to do either one thing or the other. I learnt how to use them and it was fun.

The singing inspector

Singing 🎤 inspector blog post While I was waiting for the signing inspector I sat in the classroom very nervously.Then he arrived he wore huge knickerbockers and stockings. He had a bright red face with blue eyes and he had blonde hair with curls. Then he called everyone to a room except the little ones and Jack and Paulus who don’t do singing exams, which I think is a little unfair. When we started we did doh rah me fa so that stuff. First up was Benny and I.  I was really frightened because when he said you must sing a song we didn’t know a single one! Can’t you even sing blue bells of Scotland or minstrel. He shouted and asked what can you sing! Benny said we could sing pretty Polly he said in a shaking voice. We began to sing it was terrible I almost fell over of fright ,but we finally finished and I was relived. The other kids did way better than us.
