Karate is a martial art. It takes a long time to learn and you have to practice a lot. I learn with my friend. We have to wear special

clothes called Karate Gi. We go after school every week. I hope one day I can get my black belt. This means I am very good at Karate. Now I have a yellow belt. This means I am just starting. Karate helps you keep fit and learn self defence at the same time. My

teacher is very good!

When will we go back to school! I asked my teacher and she does not know. I asked my mum and she does not know. I asked my cat and it does not know! I hope we can go in September. I miss my

friends and my teachers. It was fun at home for a while, but now it is very boring! I do my schoolwork on my own and have to play

games on my own as well. I can see my teacher and friends on the phone sometimes but I want to see them in the classroom!

Last night we had a big storm in my town. It rained and rained all night. The thunder was so loud it woke us all up! So we went to the window to watch. There was so much lightning in the sky. My sister was very scared because it was so loud! I was a little scared, but it

was great to watch. We went to bed before the end of the storm. In the morning there was lots of water on the ground from the rain. We

put on our raincoats and splashed in the puddles.

Dinosaurs lived a very long time ago. Today we can only see them in books, on the TV and in museums. People think they were big and scary but there were lots of little dinosaurs as well. A long time ago a big rock from space hit the Earth. This made dust cover the sky so that the Sun

could not shine and help the plants grow. There was not a lot of food for the big dinosaurs. Only smaller animals could find enough food to eat. This is why you can not see a dinosaur walking down your street today!

There is so much rubbish in the sea. It is very dangerous for plants and animals that live there. We must be more careful with our rubbish. Birds get caught in the plastic and can’t fly. We use plastic bags to carry our food from the supermarket. Some of these bags go in the sea. Turtles may eat them because the look like jellyfish.Whales can get plastic caught in their mouths.All because some people don’t take care of their rubbish! So we all must to recycle it! Lets make the world a cleaner place!
