Reading - Power To The People

1. Fault - Fault is a book about two kids who are caught smoking and accidentally hurt a little kid, I didnt really like the book because it was short and boring, but it was alright, I guess.

Hello, Goodbye Poem

Hello, Goodbye Poem

Made By Callum

Hello to going to sleep early and waking up early, having to face yet another week of school.

Goodbye to countless hours playing Fortnite and Warzone with friends and family.

Hello to the outdoors and not being cooped up inside my house having to get a headache from my brother.

Goodbye to late night fortnite with the boys and waking up at noon to start playing games again.

Hello to waking up on a cold frosty morning, freezing and dreading having to return to school.

Goodbye to untold hours watching shows on Netflix such as, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Stranger Things and On My Block.

Hello to numerous hours having to sit in school listening to people chat about everything they did.

Goodbye to the numerous hours I sat watching youtube, laughing at everything that I found funny

Hello to the real world.

Goodbye to the fake.
