Petra’s blog

Hi! I’m Petra. Welcome to my blog. Here I write about what I do, how I feel and anything funny or strange that happens to me. I hope you have fun reading it!

Farm life!

Last weekend my family and I visited a farm. We had a great time! We saw lots of baby animals – chicks, lambs, calves. It was fantastic! I rode on a pony – his name was Tony and he was very sweet and cute. I loved him. I also helped the farmer feed the chickens and my sister collected the eggs, and the milk from the cows – that was very funny to see!

Difficult week!

We’re having exams at school and I’m studying and studying and studying! Life is very hard! Why do we have tests? I hate them – really I do! I’m getting bored and tired with it and I want to go shopping! There’s a new shopping centre near my house and all my friends are there, but I’m at home studying! Do you have to study for school tests? Write and tell me your views and opinions.

School newspaper

Our school newspaper wants some articles on pupils’ opinions about things and problems you have at school or at home. I’m the editor of the newspaper, so please send me your emails with your views. And don’t forget to check out our website for reviews of the school play and the calendar section for school sport and matches!

Bye for now!

That’s all for now! I’m going to have a break and visit the shopping centre. I want to find a florist’s to buy some flowers for my great-grandmother. It’s her birthday tomorrow – she’s 97 years old!

See you next week!
