Pretty Clever

“I’m too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me.”
This sentence was written on girls tops which were being sold in America. Lots of mums were angry about the slogan because it is saying that girls aren’t smart but boys are. I agree with the mums and i wouldn’t want my my mum to buy me a top like that because I am smart. Girls can be clever and pretty..
My mum got worried when she read about the story and looked in my wardrobe to check if she had accidentally bought me any T-shirts with negative slogans. All my T-shirts were fine.
I have two brothers, one is seven years old and the other one is ten years old. They have superheroes on their tops. They are being told that they are strong and powerful. Girls should be told they have ‘girl power’ because girls can do anything!
Britain’s Burning

I haven’t written a blog for one year because I have been busy painting, but I felt angry about the rioting so I thought I should write about it.
There has been rioting in the UK by some young people. I think that is very shocking. On TV, they showed what the rioters have done. The images were horrifying which showed smashed shop windows, as well as cars and buildings on fire. This scared me because I thought that the trouble could spread to where I live and me and my family could get hurt.
Young people shouldn’t be doing this. They don’t have any manners and respect for the rest of us and that is not right. The rioters should be made to fix and replace everything. They are just greedy and need to be made to learn that stealing is wrong. They should work hard and save if they want something, like I do.
The face veil – what children think

I see women with veils at a few places, but mostly on streets walking along the pavements and when I look out of the car window. When I see women with veils I think they look scary because I only see their eyes staring and it scares me. Even if I’m scared people should wear what they want. People should be fine if women wear veils. People should not force them to take it off and stop wearing it.
I wonder how the women in veils breathe, drink and eat. I wonder if they get hot when it is really sunny. I do think it is rude when people don’t show their face when they are talking because you can’t see their emotions. You can’t see if they are angry, sad, embarrassed, jealous, scared, happy, excited and surprised. But I would talk to a woman in a veil.
