Giuseppe Carretta Wins Race

Hi guys its me, no not the twins but the one and only GIUSEPPE CARRETTA

I'am back to update you guys about life in Chengelo...

At Chengelo we have what we call Sports day. It is where 3 teams (Kaimbi, Ndale and Mukwa) compete in track events only. E.G Long jump, 800m, 1500,ETC.So I had only two races which were 800 meters and 1500 meters. My first race, which was 1500 meter, I came in second with a time 5:41 minutes. In 800 meters though I decided I had enough

of losing so I left the others by 3 and a 1/2 meters or so and got a time 2:32. My mum and my grandma were there to cheer me on. Damiano and my two cousin were there too. And to top it up a friend of mine came along too.

Well that's all for now by Giuseppe

The Stig of the Dump

Dear friends, there was a problem with the Internet so we couldn't finish my previous post on Stig of the Dump review. Now I have done it all over again! In the first post I told you what this is all about.

Book Title:Stig of the Dump
Author:Clive King
Date:24\06\1960
Report by:Damiano Carretta Dario D.C.D.

Now I am Going to tell you why this book should be published.It should be published because there may be children or people who like a story of friendship between 2 different friends such as Stig who is a wild boy and Barney who is a normal boy.There also may be teachers who want to explain the stone age to the their students and this just the book for them.There also may be people who like adventure books in England so this the perfect book for them.
The rocks you see in the photos are the rocks that were used from real cavemen long ago our friend,Cris a geologist,gave us these rocks.

Bye Bye see you next time Damiano Carretta Dario D.C.D.

Magic Music.

I am lerning how to play the flauto traverso and it is very hard, but I am managing.

I have to practice almost every day. I am also lerning to play the normol recorder. The name of my teacher is Marey, she cames from France and she is a musicin, she is a very good at teaching music, she is funny when she teaches. I like her as a teacher beacuse she is gental.

I borrow her flauto traverso because I do not have one for now.

Marey cames to my house every Sunday morning or sometimes on Saturday morning so i have to be awake and ready for the lesson.

I like music very much, I was good playing the recorder, so the teacher Marie wanted to challange me giving to me her flauto traverso. I really like it so I decided to learn how to play the flauto.

FILIPPO CARRETTA

The first ever school trip to another school

One Wednesday my mum dicieded to go on a school trip to Alan's school. Alan thought that was a brilliant idea so next Monday, after humanities, we would all go to Chisero school. Chisero is the school that Alan built for the children of Chisero because they didn't have any school where to go and learn and play.

When that Monday came, also our friend Ben was there. So, adults in Alan's car and kids in Ben's car! Also Kay joined our trip, so Kay, Filippo, Ben and myself were in Ben's car and My mum, my dad and Erica (a Italian girl that is staying for a while with us) were in Alan's car.

To get to Chisero it was a long long ride and a bummpy one too. But at last we arrived. We found a open house as a school with a lots of children and teachers.

When we arrived they diecieded to sing for us some joyful songs. First they sang of their school than for Alan. He was embaresed when they sang for him, but very very happy.

After that we took a hike up a hill and then downhill to where we found a nice beautiful stream with freash and clear water,the children get the water from the stream for the school. From there we went all the way down to Chisero and back to the school. the walk was a great one. It was a hot hot day I couldn't bear it but it was really amazing. When we got back to Chisero we brought out the pencils and books for the children of the school. After that we had a little snack then back all the way to school.

From this trip I learned that not all the children can afford to go to school and that we are all different and we are lucky to have a school like the one here at Chipata.

Tell me... my story...

This week my mummy made us do an activity. It was about me telling you a story that happened to me in my past. Here it is......

My First Sleepover With Joe

One Saturday morning me,Filippo and Joe were at a kids club where we do fun and games and learn about Jesus and God. Later at the end of the club we entered Joe's car and Joe's mum drove us to Joe's house.There we got ready to swim in Joe's big swimming pool. We had so much fun but our fun was interrupted by lunch. For lunch we ate popcorn and juice. After lunch we got bored of swimming so we went inside to play with Joe's Nintendo. We played star wars Lego, we defeated Darth Vader and his evil clone troopers. Then we played with Joe's Guinea pig, he is so cute and cuddly and fluffy. We got bored again, so we went swimming. Later it was time for our supper. Here is were I forgot what we did. Well later we went to bed.

This was the best sleepover ever. I liked it because we played with Joe, my best friend Joe. He is cool and knows what to play and when to play and he is great at saying jokes.

I miss Joe very mush he is now in Canada if only he could come back here and stay.

Tell me... my story...

At school this week i had to right a story of a important life event and the story starts.

My puppy and me

I wanted a pappy and i begged my mum and dad but they never allowed me to have a pappy.

When my other dog (Elly) was having puppies i wanted one.

I also had chosen the name for him. It was B-dawg but still my mum never allowed me to keep one.

Then one day my mum decided that i could have a puppy.

I choose the puppy but sadly he died so i choose a new puppy and renamed it Rex. We are still going to give all the others away.

My puppy is still to young to be trained and i am waiting for the other puppies to be gone so Rex will be concentrated in the training.

THE END
