Thursday 9th September

We’ve got a REALLY difficult English homework project to do. When I told Mum about it she said “I just don’t know HOW Sylvia (that’s Mrs R’s first name) thinks those things up. Sometimes I wish she wouldn’t!” Then she laughed and said she didn’t mean it.

What we’ve got to do is ‘An Alphabet of My Holidays’. We’ve got to write about things we did in the summer holidays and each thing’s got to start with each of the letters of the alphabet. ALL of them!!! From A to Z! (Why do we say ‘Zed’ and Americans say ‘Zee’? Keep meaning to ask and forgetting.)

But that’s so HARD!! I mean what am I going to do when I get to X? And Z? And Q??? Slam asked if we could leave them out but Mrs R just gave him that look she does and he didn’t ask any more.

Z… Z… WHAT did we do that started with Z…?
