Before I realised it was afternoon and I was to go to The West Midlands Safari Park. It was a free trip from school for my whole family. We were traveling there by a coach. So we got out of our house to get to the school which is where the coach was.

About 45mins later we were there in the Safari park! But first we went to eat something because we were starving after the bus trip. We went to eat to a place called PIZZA! I had southern fried chicken and chips. Then after that I went to have a look around the place. First we went to THE DISCOVERY PLACE then we went to the SEA LION SHOW! I can tell you that he is interligent!! Then we went to see the ELLUMINATION! It was so Fantastic. As we walked through the path, we noticed a very horrible SMELL! We look to our left and saw a huge Hipappotamus. I think that was where the smell was coming from. We walked as fast as we could away from the smell! Then we saw lots of swans and on the other side there was lots of rides like The Big Water slide, Twister and lots more! Then we came across a Bumper car place! My brother wanted to go on it so my dad and my brother went on the bumper car while me and my mum watched.

We had catch the coach so we could get back home! But there was a problem, we didn't know the way out. About 30mins later we found the exit. On the way we went across a shop. My dad bought me a tiger bear and a tiger printed pen! He also brought my brother a toy bus! When we finally got in the coach and before we knew we were home!

On Sunday I went to the cinema to watch Ratatouille. It's about this rat who wants to become a chef. His friends and his dad wouldn't let him be one! And the adventure starts there! It's a fantastic and halarious movie.  So that day I set off from home with my dad and my brother to get to the cinema. First we went to Sainsbury's our local supermarket to get popcorn and drinks! I know there is food available in the cinema but do you know that it is very very expensive. One packet of popcorn cost about 3.99 while in the supermarkets it costs 1.50 for a pack of six! Isn't that a big difference? After I bought the stuff then me, my dad and my brother went on the bus to the cinema! When we got there the movie was about to start so we sat down munching our popcorn. The movie started at 4.30pm and it finished at 7.30pm. The movie was so great that I wanted to watch it again. I had a great day in the cinema  watching Ratatoutille and I think you should watch it too!!!

Last year in class 4 I started learning to play a recorder! It's like a flute but you play it differently. My teacher Mrs.More helped me and my best friend Klaudia to play recorders. It was really fun learning even though sometimes it was hard work. I knew how to read the notes in 2 days and my best tune I could play is Old 'Mac Donald'!

We also had a music festival. In the music festival the Brass instuments and the recorders played. Unfortunetly I wasn't playing brass because the day the joining in forms were send out, I wasn't there because my dad was in Greece and I had no one take me to school so I stayed at home. But this year, it all changed because I asked the brass teacher Mr. Rabilliard if I could join in, and guess what? He said 'YES'. I was so happy and then after I played the French Horn which was a member of the brass family. So I think I have a good knowledge about music don't I?

We all have favourite T.V stars and my favourite one is Mary-kate and Ashley! They are normally known as The Olsen Twins. They are identical twins and they play lots of movies together like Holiday in the sun, Winning london and many others. Their BIGGEST and GREATEST movie yet is NewYork Minute. It's great! I have watched lots of their movies and I am planning to watch some more in the holidays!

I also got books about Mary-kate and Ashley! About 7 books. I had more but after I read it, I gave it to someone else so they can even read! My Favourite book is called The mystery game show. I really enjoyed reading them. So why don't you watch some movies or read books about Mary-kate and Ashley! You will enjoy it!

For all Muslims celebrating Eid at the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, Eid Mubarak.

The holidays have gone and am i am going back to school! It feels wierd having to wake up early in the morning. I had new uniform, shoes and lunchbag.

When i first stepped into the classroom I saw all of my friends. We had a great assembly and we got to sit on the bench instead of the floor because we were year 5 now. After assembly we started to learn about the rules of the classroom and some other information.

Soon it was play time and we went out to play. It was boiling hot especially because i have been running and i was sweating all over. After play we started reading a story called James and The Giant Peach. The start of the story was good but we couldn't finish it in one day! I can't wait to read the other part. The before I knew it was lunchtime. I had crisps, orange juice and a sandwich.

Then it was time to go in and do some more work. We did lessons on Britain Since 1930. It was very interesting. Do you know that they didn't have bathrooms they had to take a shower in the front of the fire place with only one bucket of cold water and they took a shower only once a week. After all that, it was time to go home. It was a great day! Don't you think so?
