MY DAD STORY  BY CAMDEN
What my Dad does most days.
My Dad works at the Rose and Shamrock. He sells fancy wine and beer etc. If you meet my dad he is a great guy he says hi and  hello to everybody. Every time my dad goes to work he wears his uniform Sometimes I get to come to his work and go in the staff only place. I  help him to pick up the boxes it’s cool being Dads little helper. When Dad comes home we do dad time which is jumping on the tramp and playing rugby. Dad loves cracking jokes just for the fun of it. They are more funny than a lemur laughing. It usually cracks me up.


My Dad looked like a barbarian with his old moustache. But he is almost fully BALD but my dad still looks good bald. His uniform is all black but on saint patrick's day he’s all green. Dad has a great smile and he usually smiles for everything it’s cool that I have the best Dad in the world.

Art Blog Post

This is my art that took me 2 weeks to make. It took a while but it was worth it.
I have made Ender_Nigh_Lord with paint and white crayon.
I made my background blue.

I changed my background because the original one has a hole in it, and then Miss Plimmer said block on block for background wouldn't stand out. I have kept mostly to my plan.

Here is my art
