Long lost poem!

By jujupage1 -
Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair,
Top of piano, window ledge,
In the middle,on the edge,
Open drawer,empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard,with your frocks,
Anywhere, they don't care,
Cats sleep anywhere!

By Eleanor Farjeon

As I went up the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today,
Oh how I'd wish he'd go away!

By William Hughes Mearns

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

Fun story! The other day I had a bit of day ja voo. I remember reading this poem with my sister about cats. I remember trying to memrise it! Me and my sister used to share a bedroom and one day we woke up really early chanting the poem really loud. I think it annoyed my parents!
The second poem I remember it really confusing me because it did not make any sense. This was the first time that I found out about nonsense poems.

Do you have any childhood poems? Let me know in the comments below,

See you next time,

Bye

What I'm hoping to talk about in my English speaking exam- Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, After Easter, my English teacher told the class that we will be doing a speaking exam on whatever topic we wish to talk about. I don't know the exact details of the exam but I do know that we have to talk about a certain subject for 4 minutes. I will probably find out more about it when I return to school next Tuesday. Although, I already have an idea of what I'm going to talk about. I thought it would be interesting to talk about my heritage since I've got an interesting racial background. My sister talked about this for her speaking exam in year 10 and she did very well in it so I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it also. I will hopefully be able to talk about where my mum comes from. She was born in a French colony called Réunion near Madagascar. I can also talk about my dad's heritage because he's half English and half Japanese. I'll find out more about what the exam entails later but I th

Charlotte Brontë- The power of writing

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Victorian Britain was, as many would say, unfair,cruel and harsh. It is a fact that women were discriminated in the sense that they did not have a voice or the power to act on problems in society. Victorian Britain and other countries too, were very patriarchal. This is particularly apparent during the life of Charlotte Bronte.  On the 21st of April 1816 was the birth of Charlotte Bronte.  In her early life, Charlotte dedicated her life to teach children and her family. She returned to Haworth where her sister's opened a school but failed to get students. Therefore, she and her sister's turned to writing.  She and her sister's hid their true identities. Charlotte concealed her name under the pseudonym Currer Bell in a bid to sell her books.  They believed that concealing their names under a male identity would get their books to sell. This is one of the major signs of a patriarchal society during the Victorian tim

The IB dance mock exam - Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  On the last Friday before the half term holiday, I'm going to be doing an IB dance mock exam. This mock exam will consist of me coming up with my own choreography that I will perform as a solo piece in front of my teacher. It's not going to be as formal of an examination as the rest of the exams that I'm going to be sitting but it's still a pretty big deal since I am still going to get awarded a grade at the end of it.  My day on Friday will begin at 9:00am and for the first part of the day, I will be working on my solo and coming up with the choreography. I think for the rest of the day we will be spending some time catching up on some theory and working on writing up the rest of our dance investigation as part of our coursework. The day will be 5 hours long and will therefore finish at 2:00pm! Ohh joy, I do love my life. However, at the same time, I am still excited to do some choreography because I love coming u

The difference between the conscious and the subconscious - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, my mum told me to take a look a Mel Robbins's work because she talks a lot about human psychology. If you don't know her story, Mel Robbins was a well-known TV show host on American channels like CNN and has now become a motivational influencer on the internet. She faced a lot of financial difficulty trying to pursue her career in the TV and entertainment industry and this caused her marriage to become unstable and eventually she became severely depressed. This was to the point when she even struggled to get out of bed in the morning. After releasing her book, the 5 Second Rule which motivated her to get up out of bed every morning, Mel Robbins now inspires other people with mental health issues. Whilst finding out more about Mel Robbins, I came across a video that she made about the conscious and subsconscious part of the brain during therapy. I found this video really interesting because for me, it expla
