Story starter!

6AM: I left the house on my own, wrapped up in my warmest coat (which I wear every day) to make the 3km trip. I met up with other children from my village, and we huddled together beneath the mountain to keep warm, waiting for the last couple of stragglers to arrive. As soon as we were all together, two of the dads put their sledges and emergency packs on their backs, and we set off for school

MY DIARY ENTERY



At around 5:30AM i woke up. I was coled and tired from the winter night. I shot up, as i knew there was no time to spare, and collected all the belongings i would need for the whole day, because once i got into ice desert, i was only seperated by one wall from ,i knew there was no turning back until late that evening.


Bag, coat, hat, scaff, another coat, jumper, another jumper, water bottle, food, bag, hiking stick. I almost left the house in my pijamas but luckily my mum screemed to tell me to get changed just as i stepped on the ice floor.


I had around 5 minuets to shove on my 5 layers, both top and bottom, and get all my equipment on without it falling off my back. i succeeded with 1 minuet to spare and ran out the door, struggling with the emmence wieght on my back. I shuffled out the the front garden

and onto the snow covered path up the hill.


I had to be carfull with every miniscule step as any small slip could cause death or me having to pick up the many items that will fall out my heavily packed bag.The snow fell on my face and each breath caused a puff of steam making me look like some sort of kettle.


At school, i met up with some class mates and we crept inside to keep warm. The school day went by fast with a cold wind blowing throughout the entire day. After the work, I had to go to market, on the other side of school, to pick up groseries and supplies. That took more than an hour and a half of walking, half an hour of searching and another 3 hours to get back home.


By that time it was around 8:30 leaving me 30mins for me to make dinner. My brother had been ill so I had to make him special soup to make him better. Mum came back when i was asleep but she woke me up by opening the door to check i was okay.

good night:)


FOR MISS DAWSON: I am already missing school but I hope you are having a nice break from us and that you are happy and healthy:)

Have a nice day,
