When i am older I want to be a Japanese actor because I love the Japanese culture and I also know a bit of Japanese. it will be very hard to become a Japanese actor because first I have to learn full Japanese and also I might not get the place to be one and if I don’t get to be a actor I will be very sad because I just started wanting to be a Japanese actor and I think it is so cool in japan I really wish I could live in japan.If I don’t get that job or don’t move to japan I want to I want to be a vet because I love animals and I don’t want to see them suffer but also being a vet it takes a long time to become a vet but also sometime you have put the animal down because it might be very ill or it has bitten a human.

Today was curling and all the p6 went !!! The first thing we done was just slide with two curling stones across the ice but we weren’t really sliding we both struggled to slide , instructor tout us to do a curling slide what we had to do was put your foot on the step and your other foot behind that , then you push and swap feet then you lay your back foot straight.

after we done that we done a lot more things but they were quite similar to the other one !!!

the bell went and went to eat our food we were telling each other who was in our groups. At the start of curling we were nervous but as the time went on we were fine . Merissa : I liked it a little Dakota : I loved it !!!

games :

we were playing all sorts of games like jenga , knots and crosses , pop goes the weasel , normal mini curling , running curling and others. sadly I forgot what they all were but we remember some of them , the first one was normal jenga and we were trying to make the big tower go bigger and bigger !!! the other one was knots and crosses it was just like the normal game but we were doing them in hoops and groups that was really fun !!!  Dakotas favourite game was running curling my favourite game was running curling !!!

This weak and last weak has been really , really hot. It has been a long time since we have had really hot sun. I think it was 2016 when it was really hot but not as hot as this. The my auntie Angie lives in Edinburgh and she said she had to put on the heating because it was that cold and windy !! I am not sure but I think that the weather reporter said that Dumfries is supposed to be the hottest in the UK. what is your weather like at your house ??    most people in the house got burnt.
