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,

Melbourne Olympics 2024


Dear I.C.O,

This is your boss speaking……  I THINK the Olympic should be in Melbourne Australia because we were voted to be the best city.

This is my first AWESOME reason why the Olympics should be in Melbourne,  Australia. We have Federation Square so if you did not get some tickets you can go and watch it on the big screen. If you have some kids that do not like the  Olympics they can go and do a game master that helps you how it works.  It has some cafes there and you can eat everything.

My second reason why the Olympics should be in Melbourne, Australia is because we have The Queen Victoria Market. The Queen Victoria Market has all different types of food so if you come from a different country you can eat your type of food.

I believe that Olympics should be in Melbourne, Australia because we’ve got all different icons. If you need to go and watch the football you can go to Flinders Street Station to go on trains and buses and trams and all other things that get you places to go.

 That’s three reasons why the OLYMPICS should be in Melbourne, Austraila for the 2024 Olympics Games!
