Love the name

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Thank you

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I’m going on holiday for Halloween and I’m bringing a pumpkin!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Nice!

King Hank Paddington

It’s kinda weird but fun

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Oh, that’s great!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Thank you

King Hank Paddington

I mean, lucky you, going to a party!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

It was good

King Hank Paddington

Really? What did you do at the party?

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

We ate, painted cat masks, played ‘Bananas’( basically hide and seek but the seeker closes their eyes and hiders aren’t really hiding) and some of us (not me cause I had to go early) used VR headsets

King Hank Paddington

Ooh, that sounds fun! I would have liked to do the cat masks! The VR headsets would have been cool to do too!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

It was good; however, it wasn’t the same as actually talking to friends.

King Hank Paddington

Yeah, but I bet it would have been great!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

It would have been if we hadn’t had to go early!

King Hank Paddington

Aw, that’s sad.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Sike!

Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing

It was good; however, it wasn’t the same as actually talking to friends.

King Hank Paddington

Yeah, totally!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Hello everyone! Just wondered what everyone has gotten up to in September 2023! Reply to this message and tell me all about it!

Hey everybody, I went to code club on Wednesday and it was Roald Dahl themed! It was really fun!

Baskerville

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Star Reviewer

Nice! That’s sounds cool

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yeah! I like code club!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

In my school they haven’t started any clubs yet

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Aw, that’s a shame. This code club that I go to, it isn’t at a school but at a library instead.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Ooh I love the library

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yeah I love libraries too. It’s at Hunslet library but you can do it at Central library as well! It’d fun!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Yeah well fun

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yes it is! Sadly, I’m too old for it now.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Yeah, it’s always a shame when you realise you’re too old for something

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I know, tell me about it. It’s so depressing!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

My school has started clubs now! I’m going to the digital club today

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Oh, great! What’s it like?

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

It’s really fun! It’s called digital wizards so I’m going to wear a wizard hat and a cape to the next one as a joke. We do coding and stuff but we also mess around on games.

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Oh, that’s funny! I wish I could come! It sounds like fun!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Yeah :)

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

You know, I really think you’re one my best, best friends!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

So sweet :) Same here though. Even though we only talk on here, i don’t have any other friends irl or online who love books :( and you’re also so nice :D

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Really? I don’t think I should be surprised at that anymore, but I still am! Everyone calls me nice, but I think I’d end up going into The School for Evil.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Hehe……I think I’d be joining you too

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I mean, I really feel like I’m similar to Agatha in a lot of ways! I’m not like Sophie at all.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Same! I think it’s sweet how two opposites are such good friends though.

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yeah, that’s partly why I liked it so much! (As well as Tedros)

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Nice! I went to a Radio Club and it was really fun!

King Hank Paddington

That’s great!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Thanks

King Hank Paddington

You’re welcome!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

How do I get in and where is it?

Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing

It’s in Leeds, and you have to sign up.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Okay everyone! Big announcement! I’m finding that it’s not quite as lively on here any more, so I’m starting the Awesome Authors club! It was going to be co lead by Empress Magnolia Cuckoo Clock but sadly she disappeared so I’m going ahead without her. It’s her own fault, and really I’m quite mad.
Awesome Authors is for the most extreme book lovers. We will write stories, create quizzes, poetry and more!

Anyway, here’s how you apply! I will be accepting only five people, however there might be more! Just answer the questions below and I will decide who shall partake.

1) Why do you want to apply?
2) Would you be willing to be in every meeting?
3) Have you written any books, poems or other literature before?
4) Tell me a bit about yourself. (No personal info)
5) What ideas would you bring to the team?

Thx!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I would like to apply because I love reading , writing books, poetry and quizzes!
I will try to be in as much meetings as I can !
I have written lots of books and poetry in school and even at home I am currently working on BBC’s 500 words 8-11 category (I am writing a spy diary , based off of ‘Murder Most Unladylike’ and ‘Scarlet and Ivy’).
I have a cat , love reading , have a sibling , love school and also I am very interested in art , design and technology.
I would say when there are big book related competitions , I would create quizzes for the website and much more , I will do any job the team wants!

Thank you for listening to my speech ,

Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot

Thank you! I really enjoyed that, and I think it was a great application! I will post a message soon with the members and hopefully you will be on there!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Thank you!

Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot

Np! I’m sending the results out at the same time as this message so keep an eye out!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

1. I want to apply because it sounds really cool & fun and because you’re my friend! 2. It depends when the meetings are, so please tell me in advance, but I am around a lot, so yeah! 3. I’ve tried, though I’m not very good , but I wrote a short story a few years back and I make up songs. 4. I really, really love reading and I don’t go to school. 5. I’d bring ideas like e.g. did you know that cyanide smells like almonds? or an idea for a book! ( they just come out of nowhere!) I hope this message comes through soon and I hope to get in the club!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Wow! I’m really impressed! I will be posting a message soon with the results, if you don’t see it then I will tell you here as well! Good luck!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

No problem! I’m sending the results out now! Keep an eye out!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Okeydoke!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

:)

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Gratzi mil!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

no clue what that means but I hope it’s good?

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

It means thank you in Italian ( I think?) And I know a little bit of Italian. But it’s probably not obvious to a lot of people because they don’t know any Italian.

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

I know some Spanish. Some words are similar

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

By the way did you send me a message, but it got deleted? Because I have 2 messages that go to the same page! If so, please try to send it again!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Oh maybe.

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Hmmm, this happens to me, too!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Yes, once you know a bit of Spanish you know a bit of Latin, a bit of Italian, Portuguese, quite a few languages are similar!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Yeah! It’s really interesting

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yes, lots of languages are similar. Like, for example my dad says that Spanish and Scottish are quite similar because in both languages you have to roll your Rs! I like learning languages!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

I didn’t know that! That’s cool. What languages do you learn? You might have told me but I forgot.

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I am currently learning Spanish and French but I think Italian would be a good language to learn too! My main language is English/ American. I can slightly understand Portuguese too!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Nice! I am learning Spanish with Duolingo, and I am on section three. I also learn Welsh on Duolingo because I am in Wales, and I also learnt a bit of French but most French I do in school. I also speak English as my main language. My family also has a bit of Irish and Dutch, and my mum is from New Zealand! My dad’s family is Welsh though, I think.

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Wow!! I learn Spanish on Duolingo too but I’m on level 5! My mum is American and my dad is English. But I’ve got some German and Scottish ancestry too!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

I know some Spanish. Some words are similar

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Well done! I loved that speech I hope you get in !

Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot

Thank you! I hope you get in too!

Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

2. i would definitely be willing to come to meetings. but it also depends when they are on. i cant really do it on schoolday mornings or wednesday or thursday afternoons. but if 4 some reason i had 2 miss a meeting i would definitely tell the club!

3. im currently applying for a blue peter badge with a 250 worded piece of writing. ive written lots of writing and poetry at school and my teacher always shares it with the class as an example. sadly i have not really entered any writing competitions because i do not know of any. i was wondering if i get into the club can we always share any story competitions that r on?

4. i play netball, my family likes to travel a lot, i love reading adult fiction mystery/murder, have a younger sister, absolutely LOVE school, and am always into fashion.

5. id bring lots of book ideas, reading competition ideas, and anything really that you want me to do id gladly do so!

Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot

Agreed! I love Brussel sprouts

Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing

Donuts. I just love them and blue cheese is alright

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Eat cake with brussels sprouts, it is not that bad!

Queen Jewel Unicycle
