Dear Diary, (Melody's)
I've finished all my grammar school exams and that is one thing I cannot express. Everyone was tense, nervous and worried. Lots of the children felt a little pressure sometimes. I've done the exams for the following:
-Girls-Tiffin Girls' School (Grammar)
-Girls only-Henrietta Barnet School (Grammar)
-Girls only-Nonsuch Grammar School (Grammar)
-Girls-Wallington Girls' Grammar School (Grammar)
-Mixed-Graveney School (Selective)
-Mixed-Greenshaw School (Selective)
That is also the order of my preference choices. Good news! I've passed all the tests that tell us whether we've passed or not. It's too long a story to explain which ones say, which ones don't. So, maybe next time(probably not).
Another thing is I'm in Year 6, which is also when we do our SATs. We did a mock SATs last week. The papers included: Maths Paper A (Calculator not allowed), Maths Paper B (Calculator not allowed), Mental Maths Test, Reading Paper, Short Writing Task, Long Writing Task and Spelling Test. I'm on seventh heaven because I've got 40/40 for Maths Paper A, 40/40 for Maths Paper B and 20/20 for Mental Maths Test! Squeee!
Exciting news! I'm Grade 4 ballet and soon, we're doing our Grade 4 exam! Then, we'll officially be learning Grade 5 ballet. This time, the leap between the grades is even bigger than usual. Guess why! Because we're doing pointe shoes in Grade 5!!! Lots of people say they looked forward to their first pointe shoes but were disappointed and really didn't like pointe shoes. However, I believe I will like my pointe shoes when I get them and that I will enjoy trying the pointe work. I most probably will get back to you on that one when we've started and I've got my pointe shoes! 8-)
Ummm... I think that's it. NOOOOOOOO!!! Wait! One more thing! I am a house captain! So basically, in our school, we have 4 houses(a bit like 4 teams/groups). We earn house points, so, like brownie points. There are 2 house captains for each house-Milton, Dryden, Cowper, Tennyson-but there are sometimes exceptions. Anyway, the house captains are Year 6s and what we do is everyone writes a letter to the headteacher to say why you should be the house captain of your house. Well, I wrote one and got chosen! The house captains are:
-Milton-Melody(me), Jahan(boy)
-Dryden-Alice(one of my BFFs, girl), Christol(girl)
-Cowper(Coo-per)-Milly(Amelia, one of my BFs, girl), Valentin(boy)
-Tennyson(Ten-ni-sun)-Tharsha(one of my Bfs, girl), Vadim(boy)
I'm so happy I got chosen! Although sometimes it's so hard I wish I wasn't house captain. Anyway, I'm supposed to think on the bright side.
OK, that's it. Goodbye! Farewell! See ya! Adios! 再见！Bye!
