A bit like hard work




Is what today was like. It seems like they boys can move their mood, or indeed switch from one state of attentiveness to not at all, dependent on the sun, rain, shine, cold, wet dry.....

We have to make a firm structure with actual jobs attache next week, to make things happen...

I walked towards...

I walked towards the chipman, he asked if I wanted salt or vinegar.
I walked towards an old man who was walking his dog.
I walked towards a bunch of guys who was on their coffee break.
I walked towards a woman with blonde hair.
I walked towards a big lorry that said ASDA Price. 

Communities

Communities are always there for each other, amazing parties and good laughs. water fights and snowball fights. We come together to organize surprise parties. Together we can do what we want. Play football, go on trips and have BBQ's. We watch movies and have sleepovers. With only a quick look at this community you are welcomed with warmth and kindness.

The School Community

The school community is important because we have different group like form, classes and then there's goths, chavs, geeks and more. I guess teachers have their own groups like the English department, Maths and Science. But at the end of the day they're all teachers and all want the same thing. To teach us and to give us knowledge to become as successful as them.
so like the teachers the students want to learn. So we all go to school and we all pull together to make it a successful, happy community.

House

The house across the road a old woman lives. first she looked like a little scary but after that she looked calm. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. 
She had a dog, a cat. I guess they must be her life and they looked like it. She dressed ok and even though she looked scary who knows how she is feeling and what's happened. But she reminds me of a loving animal lady who cares so much for them which is good. 

My Community

My community is really good. Everyone knows each other and is quite nice. In the morning is dead and because people go to work and school and the eventually round about 4.30. It is really busy because everyone come home and come back from school and don't play quietly, they play so loud. Neighbours call in and out because they are really nice and share food with everyone a festival. Neighbours share stuff with each other. Nobody is nasty and are really caring. 

I walk towards...A Short Story

I walk towards a man who gave me a wave. He had a big house and an attic. All the pigeons standing on the slippery roof. It looks like he has a big plant inside his house. He had all the plants. even the man eating the plants waiting for him to eat his lunch. A fly ate it, munch munch, munch.

COMMUNITY

Needing to know people

Treat each other with respect
You can welcome new people
