A day in the life of a child in a informal settlement

Hi my name is Bob. Nice to meet you. Every morning I have to wake up at 5am because I have get my school clothes ready. It takes me 1 hour to get to school and the worst thing about that is I have to walk to school with a empty stomach. My family and I struggle with money because my dad and my mom don’t work so we have hardly any food and nearly all my clothes are to small for me. I have to walk to school barefoot so my feet get really soar. We have to walk to a bathroom and the bathroom is a hole so sometimes the small kids fall in the whole. I always get sick because of all the germs from all the rubbish lying around. I go to a government school. We have no libraries so we can not study from books. Kids play in the dam and they get sick because there is so much rubbish and there is rubbish that is sharp and can cut the kids. When I go to the hospital I wait so long for the doctor to see me because there are 3000 people and only one doctor. When I have homework I have to do homework in the dark. I wish we could have electricity so we can see in the dark.
When I go to sleep I hear strange noises because we can hear our neighbors because their house is really close to us so we can hear them speak so I only go to bed at 12:00 and that’s when they are quite.

His eyes are round and his face is red and he has eyes that look like blue gooseberries. My friends and I think that he is the most hateful person ever. The singing inspector called all of us into a big room except for Jack Long and Paulus who do exams and not singing lessons. We had to warm up our voices by singing doh ray me fan and tata tete things, it was really weird. Mr R called out my name, he also called out Benny name. I was so scared.Mr R said sing for us, but both of us didn’t no any song. Mr R pointed at the modelater. He got angry because we didn’t know any song. I finally started singing pretty  Polly in a weak kind of voice. Then Benny started singing pretty Polly in a high voices because he was scared.

Hi there. I was doing this code. This was a bit hard but then I found out because of my amazing coding teacher Mrs Louw. This code was in the Functions section. I learnt that I should read the questions properly before I do the code. I am on the For Loops section and I am starting to read the questions properly and now I’m starting to get the codes For Loops.
