Covid-19

Covid-19 is a new illness that affects your lungs and air ways. It's a virus that has spread all around the world. The symptoms are similar to if you had the flu or a cold. At the moment, all over the world, over 590,000 people have covid-19 and there are 27,367 people dead.

Covid-19 also affects me, for one we have bad internet connection here and as most schools have shut down thousands of kids will go on internet, so it has gone from bad to terrible. Me and my sister have been limited to 2-3 hours on the internet by my Nan because she needs to work.

Nanny has had to close her online shop because she can't guarantee that the things she's sold will get to the people who have bought them because of so many people being sick and self isolating so we won't have as much income.

I think people are being stupid though I saw some of it on the 11th when I went shopping, everyone was panic buying things like bread, meat, bottles of water and toilet roll like they were going to die of hunger, also I don't get why people are buying bottled water when there is water in the tap drink that instead of wasting money on something that is killing the earth.

We have made more recipes or altered our usual recipes to make them go further we don't have as much food as we normally do. Nanny is hoping to only go out once a fortnight but we probably will have to go out more for milk because most shops are limiting you to one carton per visit.

Some people are going out like nothing matters and are letting there kids walk around the streets this actually proves that some people don't care that they could be spreading the virus and potentially killing others. They are being selfish and are a risk to other peoples health.

Coastal Landfill

I think we can all agree that the sea is becoming more and more polluted every day.
So much so that there's now plastic pebbles floating in the sea and the beaches are covered in rubbish like plastic bottles and tin cans.

Some of this is down to the 1200 or so coastal landfills in the UK that are at risk from erosion.
Some are already spilling tonnes of waste into the sea leading to a pollution time bomb around the UK coastline.

Powerful storms and rising sea levels mean once-hidden waste could be exposed to pollute oceans and beaches, according to coastal policy expert Mark Stratton.

"One of the biggest risks of doing nothing at these sites is that the defences will fail and you’ll potentially have former landfill either eroding out onto the foreshore or leaching into the water. Alongside that there’s a potential impact on human health depending on what’s in the sites" he said.


Landfill sites before the 1990s had basically no restrictions about what rubbish could be dumped in them, therefore not a lot is known about what they contain so it can be very dangerous.

Many landfill sites were on the coast and some were used to raise land levels and even as part of flood defences, but as climate change is bringing higher sea levels and stronger storms the flood defences are weakening and in some cases bursting.

There's probably over 77,000 tonnes of waste in all those landfill sites combined. Leaking landfills may also be the source of the bizarre plastic pebbles that are being found on beaches, experts say these lumps of plastic are formed from burnt waste dating back to the 1980s.

Book Review: All The Things That Could Go Wrong By Stewart Foster

Ok so all the things that could go wrong is a great book. It is about
two boys, one called Alex and one called Dan here's a little preview of the book.

Dan is angry. Nothing has been the same since his big brother left and he's taking it out on the nearest and weakest target: Alex.

Alex is struggling. His O.C.D. makes it hard for him to leve the house, especially when Dan and his gang are waiting to get him at school.

Then the boys' mums arrange for them to meet up and  finish biulding a raft that Dan had started with his brother. The two enemies stuck together for the whole of the school holidays- what could go wrong?

ok so I'll give that a ...



for being so good and giving me a view of what being bullied feels like.

Book Review: Blitzcat by Robert Westall 📖

Blitzcat by Robert Westall is a great book. As soon as I started reading I was absorbed ( that could be because I'm a bookworm though ). Any way I'll tell you a bit about the book.  Ok to start of with its about a cat called Lord Gort who tries to find her old master. By travelling many miles and  having many new masters she succeeds in her goal.

But her old master didn't recognise her which made me cry a little bit at the end. Over all its a good book and if you like emotional stories this book is for you. I give this book ...

The Rose Theatre

The Rose was built in 1587 by Philip Henslowe and a grocer named John Cholmley. It was the first purpose-built playhouse to ever stage a production of any of Shakespeare's plays. The theatre was built on a messuage called the "Little Rose," which Henslowe had leased from the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark in 1585.

The Rose was the first of several theatres to be situated in Bankside, Southwark near the south shore of the River Thames. The area was known for its leisure attractions such as bear/bull-baitings, gaming dens and brothels. It was located in the Liberty of Clink, a liberty outside the jurisdiction of the City of London's civic authorities.

The Rose contained substantial rose gardens and two buildings; Cholmley used one as a storehouse but I don't know what Henslowe used his for. North of London, professional playhouses like the Curtain Theatre and The Theatre had already been open for over a decade.

In York they have built a replica of the rose theatre and that is were me, Abbie and nanny went yesterday. The play we saw  is called a midsummer nights dream and it is very good in my opinion  it made me laugh and the fairy's were dressed up as trees. They were doing things like one fairy took someones bag and dumped it in front of the person it belonged to.  I don't think abbie liked it though because she was hardly looking at it.The theatre is like a pop up one  but more impressive  especially on the inside  but sadly after the second of september it will be taken down as it was only open for ten weeks.

A Dog Called Homeless by Sarah lean

I got A Dog Called Homeless from my public library and it is the  longest book I have read.

This is how the story starts, My name is Cally Louise Fisher and I have not spoken for thirty-one days. Talking doesn't always make things happen,however much you want it to. think of the rain; it just happens when it happens. when the clouds are ready, when they're full, they drop the water. It's not magic; it's just putting something back where it belongs. 

Cally can see her mum who has been dead for a year but no on believes her so she stops talking. she sees her mum with a wolf hound and a tramp called Jed in the end it turned out that the wolf hound was a gift to cally from her mum and Jed looked after the dog and was trying to find Cally     

 I think it is lovely book and the best one yet I think it would be for 8 up and give it 5 out of 5
my dog likes reading it to

The Secret Life Of Pets

Today we watched the secret life of pets it was the best film yet  my  favourite  part was when the white dog was ansoring the TV and went out and left the TV on  well I think so .


A Jack Russell Terrier named Max lives with his owner Katie in a Manhattan apartment. While she is at work during the day, he hangs out with other pets in the building: tabby cat Chloe, pug Mel, dachshund Buddy, and budgerigar Sweetpea. One day,
 Katie adopts Duke, a large mongrel from the pound, leaving Max jealous because of her divided focus on Duke. Enraged by M
ax's attitude towards him, Duke tries to abandon Max in an alley, but they are both attacked by cats led by Sphynx cat Ozone. They remove both dogs' collars and leave them to be caught by Animal Control. Duke fears that he will be put down if he goes back to the pound.

 They are rescued by a white rabbit named Snowball, the leader of "The Flushed Pets" – a gang of sewer-dwelling animals who hate humans because their owners mistreated them. After Max and Duke pretend to despise humans as much as they do by saying they killed their owners, the Flushed Pets invite them to join. Before they can prove their loyalty by allowing a viper to bite them, Snowball learns from the cats that Max and Duke are domesticated. The two dogs escape the sewers and board a ferry to Brooklyn inadvertently killing the viper in the process; Snowball vows to kill them and leads the Flushed Pets after them.

 Gidget, a white Pomeranian with a desperate crush on Max, discovers he is missing and recruits a red-tailed hawk named Tiberius to find him. After looking over the city for Max, Tiberius returns carrying Ozone, whom Gidget coerces into telling what he knows about the dogs.

 Gidget and Tiberius then enlist Mel, Buddy, Chloe, guinea pig Norman, Sweetpea, and Pops, an old basset hound to begin searching Manhattan. The group encounters Snowball, who vows to kill them as well, and Norman is captured as the rest of Gidget's team flees.

In Brooklyn, Max and Duke raid a sausage factory for food. Duke tells Max about his previous owner, Fred, an elderly man who adopted him as a puppy and loved spending time with him. One day, Duke got lost while chasing a butterfly and was caught by Animal Control, but Fred never came to claim him.

 Max convinces him to visit Fred's house in a nearby neighborhood, confident Fred will still love him and take him back. When they arrive, though, they learn from a resident cat that Fred died. Heartbroken, Duke accuses Max of attempting to get rid of him and barks at the new homeowners who had just returned to the house, who call Animal Control. The handlers catch Max, but Duke interferes long enough for Max to escape and ends up being captured instead. While trying to rescue Duke as he follows the Animal Control van, Max is attacked by Snowball who tries to kill him. However, when his gang is captured, Snowball realizes that he and Max must work together to rescue them.

 They drive a city bus into the van on the Brooklyn Bridge, stopping traffic. The Flushed Pets encircle Max, unaware of his partnership with Snowball, but Gidget and her team save him. When Gidget is using her kung-fu fighting skills, Max starts to fall in love with her. The van rolls away; the Flushed Pets escape, but the van falls into the East River with Duke inside. Max is unable to get the keys to Duke's cage, so Snowball jumps into the river to retrieve them, allowing Max and Duke to escape the sinking van. Once out of the river, Snowball realizes how good being heroic feels. The entire group returns to the apartment block by pig-driven taxi.

 Max expresses his love for Gidget, who returns his affection. Snowball and the Flushed Pets then come up with a new plan to annihilate all humans, but Snowball is suddenly adopted by a little girl named Molly. At first, Snowball resists, but gives in and lets himself become a domesticated pet. The remaining Flushed Pets return to the sewers, the domesticated pets return to their homes and embrace their owners, and Max and Duke finally reunite with Katie, sparking a true friendship.
