Hi there! Thanks so much for inviting on your blog. What a great idea to have a blog for young writers. When I was growing up we didn't have blogs – we didn't even have computers! Can you imagine that? Yep, that was the olden days, where I rode around in a horse and cart (no, not really – we had cars by then) and everything I wrote was by hand. Sometimes I still prefer to write my stories by hand. I always carry a notebook with me because you never know when a good idea is going to come to you. My notebooks are full of ideas: things I remember from my childhood, drawings, snippets of conversations I may have heard, even cuttings from newspapers and magazines that interest me. Sometimes I might even begin a story in my notebook, then when I feel it begin to take shape, I'll begin to type it out on my computer. A notebook is a great place to practice your writing. Because, like everything, if you want to be good at something, what do you have to do? Yep, that's right – practice! Imagine if you were a runner and you turned up on race day to run your 100 metre sprint without having done any practice. You wouldn't do your best run, would you? Well, writing is just the same. The more you practice in your notebook, the more likely it is that when you do finally sit down at the computer, the ideas will flow. The more you write, the better you get at writing. Good luck! And have fun.

Best wishes,

On Tuesday went on an EXCURSION TO THE CITY!! We got on the bus and drove into Tuesday we the 1/2’s the city. While we were driving we saw the MCG, Fed square and the Art Centre and the spier. We got out of the bus got in our lines. We were walking for ages till we got to the Art Centre we walked in side. The first thing we saw was a piano. Ronin touched it but he didn’t get in to trouble we went upstairs we saw a piece of art work it was very boring. Next we went to Flinders Street Station. There were 8 little clocks and 2 big clocks. We went to St Pulse Cathedral. We saw the stain glass windows and the big organ pipes. We saw a priest there we tried to ignore him but someone was making too much noise which distracted the priest so we left and had brain food and then we went to fed square and the little play ground on the other side. Then we saw these green egg things where you could play games on it. That day was very exiting but it’s over now . I had a very good day.
