congratulations

I know it's been a while but I've been busy settling into high school.
Guess what guys? I've finally collected my grade one certificate.

Hard work and dedication = Distinction!

I've started guitar lessons at school with a guy called Tom, so far so good, hopefully, I'm on my way to a grade 2 distinction next year. As long as I continue to practise, practise, practise as my mum keeps telling me.

On Thursday my mom and I went to The Beefeater on Hagley Road https://www.beefeater.co.uk/steak-restaurant/West-Midlands/Duck-Edgbaston.html
I was so hungry I FORGOT to take a picture but here's a little photo of my plate, when I remembered to take a picture.

I had a chicken burger, chips and corn on the cob, which was delicious and for dessert, I had pancakes, sorry again, but it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture.

On Friday I went to the Midlands Arts Centre in Edgbaston https://macbirmingham.co.uk/courses I was there to take part in a six-week Young Inventors course run by James Hannan from Maker Lab. During the course, I will be learning to invent, design, build and code. I will definitely keep you posted with all my new inventions. This week we used something called a vacuum sucker to make pots using potatoes and plastic, I know it sounds strange but it was loads of fun.

Speak to you soon

Dubai!!

Wow, what a week I’ve had. On Sunday the 28th of October, I left England for a holiday to Dubai. My mother, God Mother, God sister – Maya and my aunty, all met at Heathrow Airport, we were due to fly from Heathrow with Emirates airline all the way to Dubai! It was a seven-hour flight and Emirates are a fabulous airline. https://www.emirates.com The food was great, the movies were great, the staff were very friendly and the female flight attendants wore a very interesting looking hat. My mom said it was one of the best flights she’s ever been on. We finally landed in Dubai, once we cleared customers and collected our luggage we made our way outside and boy was it hot, yay! We got a taxi to our hotel, we were staying in the Rove Hotel Downtown. https://www.rovehotels.com/hotel/rove-downtown/ The hotel was really nice and modern. We settled in our rooms, unpacked some of our things and went across the road to explore the Dubai Mall. The mall was huge, we had ...

Braces!

Hey guys, It’s your girl TJC here and today I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is that I have to get four of my teeth extracted, this is because I have too many teeth in my mouth 😩. So after I get my teeth extracted I am going to have braces fitted. I will have my retainers fitted on the 4 th of March 2019. I have been on the waiting list for a very long time - about two years, so I’m happy to get the process started. The good news is that my school has given me a Spring challenge. It’s a bunch of activities that have to be completed by the Easter half term break. We get to choose three activities. I will talk you through the three that I have chosen. The three that I will be doing are: read an autobiography about someone who inspires me, the second one is to cook an entire meal for the family and the third one is to take some clothes to a clothes bank. The inspirational autobiography I have chosen to read is entitled “Hope in ...

Happy Christmas!

At last the Christmas holidays are finally here. My school broke up a week before most schools so I got 3 weeks off. YIPEE!!! I have now completed all my Christmas shopping. My Aunty Kizzy came from London to spend the Christmas holiday with us. On Christmas Eve we made a gingerbread house that she had brought. For my Christmas dinner, I had turkey, beef, mash potatoes and purple cabbage. It was delicious and as for the drinks they were refreshing. For dessert, I had some of the gingerbread house that my aunt and I had made (or at least decorated). It tasted almost as good as it looked! My uncle and cousins came round to see us in the evening; this was great because I don’t get to see them that often. We tried playing a game of hide and seek upstairs – not the b...
