In my school they haven’t started any clubs yet

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

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!

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!

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 ,

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!

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

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

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

Reply

Yeah! It’s really interesting

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Reply

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

Reply

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

Reply

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

Reply

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.
