Hello everyone, my name is Lilly. How are you doing because I am exhausted. Same old same old. I woke up quit early because I had to go to school, also because there are chickens right outside my house made of steel and scrapes so you could call it a shack. I was so hungry so I went to the very small kitchen to get some food. When I opened the cupboard there was nothing. Not even a crumb of bread.

Hi everyone Yes, it’s me again. I will be talking about my Grade 5 camp at High Africa. We did so many fun things there at High Africa. Firstly my teacher put us in our cabins.

I won’t spoil it for you Incase you want to go to High Africa. One of the staff members divided us into groups of five. I was in group two. Also, some of my other friend were in the same group that I was in. Only one of my cabin mates were in the same group as me. Yay for me 😃!

hi Everybody I thought Grade 5 was going to be hard, but actually it's not. I enjoy working with my teacher Mrs Barnard. She is really kind, funny and thought full I am going to miss her next year. In the mornings on Monday and Wednesday I would do Athletics to improve my skills in High Jump. On Monday in February  I was competing against other schools. I was competing in High Jump and i made it through to the finals. in the finals i thought i came fourth but i actually came third. i was so pleased with myself. Once in Assembly, my whole class did a dance.we were dancing to My Old Heart. my Drama teacher choreographed the whole dance. Once my whole class went to  Kirsten bosh for a outing to learn about the Fynbos. I am enjoying my time in 2019. ON the 14 of February was Valentines day. I enjoyed Valentines day but I call Valentines Day Friendship Day. Bukho Bukani
