Living in a informal settlement

When I wake up for the start of the day I don’t even feel like getting up from my bed. It rained last night I was freezing and cold I hardly slept.

I got up from my bed I was starving but there was only a small piece of bread to eat. When I go to school I don’t even get lunch . After I was done with my little bit of bread I got dressed I new I had to be quick because I didn’t want to be late for school again .

The singing inspector

Gladys One day I came to school with the news there was a singing inspector coming today. We were called for singing class later on in the day.When we went in I was slightly scared but when I saw the inspector I was terrified.He told us to sit down . He called up Benny and Charles. They could only sing pretty Polly and he shouted at them then I felt like if I go and sing .Nothing would come out of my mouth. If I was called up I was going to freeze because I was so nervous. When he called me up I felt nervous and scared . I was even more scared when me and iris did not say a thing. I was relieved when my turn was over. The singing inspector said we were not to sing again. From that day on me and iris’s had to sit with the big boys and the little kids . That didn’t go for singing. But I have to admit I’m glad I’m not going to sing for him again. The End
