Guest Poster II

Perhaps the most popular post to appear here in the last year was that produced by our eldest, Freddy. It certainly elicited more comments than my own rather feeble efforts.

A couple of days ago he asked me if I was still running my ‘website thing’. I said that I was. ‘Why?’ he reasonably asked. ‘Oh it’s something to do. It’s better than just watching television.’ I replied. ‘Do people still read it?’ Fred said swooping in with the killer supplementary question. ‘ Occasionally’ I said. Obviously one has to maintain a positive outlook for ones children. Fred thought for a few moments. ‘Could I write something else for people to read? he asked. Naturally I agreed.

So with minor corrections for grammar and spelling, they don’t seem to be doing too much of that at ‘skool’ yet, Fred’s second tilt at blogging……

‘Hello,

I am 7 now. My birthday was in January.

I really like school now. My favourite thing there is the science experiments. We have made electrical circuits with lights and switches. I have got some of these at home as well.

I like Chinese food now. When I stayed with my Nana and Granddad they took me to a Chinese restaurant and I had sweet and sour which was very nice. I did try to use chopsticks but they were difficult.

I have been at Beavers for a year now. I got a special badge for that last week. I’ve got lots of badges now. I am trying to get my Beavers ‘Bronze Badge (Ed-Chief Scouts Bronze Award) which is the best badge you can get at Beavers. I am going to show the Beavers something about all of the planets to get the badge. I like Jupiter best because it’s so big and it’s made of gas.

Thank you for reading my work again.

Love Freddy’
