AMITY FEST

Hi guys,

OMG I still can't believe it I went to Amity Fest in Liverpool on the 27th of October. I you don't know what Amity Fest is it is a tour what British youtubers run. This tour was the first UK tour and they only did 3 shows because it was a test run. The shows they did were Birmingham, Liverpool and Brighton they did 3 shows in 3 days which I think is amazing.
 
The youtubes involved in Amity Fest are Zoella aka Zoe Sugg, Pointless Blog aka Alfie Deyes, Sprinkle of Glitter aka Louise Pentland, Marcus Butler, Niomi Smart, Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Caspar Lee and ThatcherJoe aka Joe Sugg. Sadly Joe couldn't make it to the Birmingham or Liverpool show because he had very bad food poisoning.
 
The show was at the O2 Academy near Liverpool Lime Street. We waited outside of the venue for 7 hours because there is no seats and we wanted to be quite near the front. We ended up very close to the stage.
 
The show had Q+As, sumo wrestling, robot dancing, a DJ set from Caspar featuring Emma Lee, the most likely to tag, singing, a javelin throwing competition and a human pyramid. I would definitely go back to Amity Fest if I had another chance.
 
We wore flashing bunny ears and we can be seen in all of the vlogs because no one else had the idea like we did. ( Thanks Liv) Thanks for reading.

Settling into year ten

 
Hi guys,
        
I know it has been a long time since I last posted a blog post but I have been settling in to year ten at school. Year ten in the UK is the year when you start your GCSE course. I chose my GCSE options in April 2014 when I was in year 9. I am very pleased with the options I chose because I think that they are very interesting. I didn't want to do too many academic subjects since I following pathway 1.
 
 
My first option was separate science because then I could get a GCSE in biology, chemistry and physics. I want to be a midwife when I am older so having 14 hours of science every 2 weeks was a good option for me. I am really enjoying separate science but I would have to say that my favourite of the 3 sciences is definitely biology but closely followed by chemistry. I find physics boring sometimes but it is an extra GCSE so I can't complain.
 
My second option was Spanish because I really enjoyed learning throughout year 7,8 and 9 so I knew that it was a good option for me. I am still liking Spanish even though my friends think I am mad for taking it as an option. What I didn't know about Spanish is that you get told about the GCSE question before the exam so you can practice what you are going to write in the exam.
 
My third option was food technology in my opinion everybody should take food tech because you learn soo many life skills concerning food. for example when I am a student I won't have to live off tosties because I will be able to make simple but tasty meals for a small price. I love food tech mainly because of all the food we make but I also like the written work because my teacher makes it so easy to understand.
 
My last and favourite option is dance even though I have never done a dance lesson outside of school I made a massive improvement in my dance and posture just because I have been doing dance in school. I took an interest to dance in year 8 when my friend Sophie persuaded me to join dance club. When I found out that I could take dance as a GCSE I knew that I was going to take it 100%. To make it even better the exam is worth 20% of the mark and 80% of the mark is practical work which will probably be my favourite part of the exam.
 
I don't just do these 6 subjects I still have to do English literature and language, maths, RAVE (religious and values education) and P.E (physical education).
 
Sorry I haven't been posting regularly but I am going to try and stick at it this time. Thank you for reading this post. 
 
Bye from me
