A day in the life and a home a home of a child in an informal settlement

I wake up really early at four in the morning. My bed is as small up to my yips and I realised that I was surrounded by water.There was a big storm last night. I woke up soaking wet. I wish we had a proper house that did,not leak. I get ready to go to school with my wet clothes cause that is the only pair I have. I wish I had more clothes because my clothes have holes in them and they Are very old.


I wait at the bus stop to get to school.  Sometimes I get bullied when I walk to go to the bus stop. I don't like it when that happens because I get hurt and my mom doesn't have the money to buy medicine. When I get to school we sit in our chairs but we have to Share chairs because there are 60 children in my class. Their are not enough of textbooks so we have to share. It would be better if they had more textbooks because then we can learn more. I eat at school because we don't have enough money to buy food at home.


We share bathrooms with our neighbors. We can get sick very quickly because we can't flush our toilets so there are a lot of germs it the toilets. I wish we had proper toilets because lots of my brothers and sisters fall in the toilets and die. I wish I could buy a proper bed to sleep in because my bed has holes in it and it’s very dirty wish I had a clean and Comfortable bed. There’s  been lots of fires and every time we have to make a new house and find new stuff to make it with.

Swift Coding

I found this code challenging  but interesting. It was hard in the beginning because you had to find a loop. When I got the loop it was easier. I learnt that when you put too many functions it does not let you go through to the next round. I Learnt that they are many different loops you can do in one code.
