Friday 8th March was Book Day!! For school, we had to dress up as a book character, I went as Hetty Feather! Here's a picture:

Kumon

I go to Kumon.

Kumon is a method of studying that started in Japan. There are lots of centres all over the world in which you can learn the Kumon method. It teaches both, maths and english.
     
            Toru Kumon began to teach his son in 1954 since he was having problems at school with mathmatics. Toru Kumon developed the Kumon Method. With the help of parents who liked the Kumon method, he opened the first Kumon Centre in Japan in 1956.  In 1958, Kumon Centres began to open around the world. Since 2011, approximately 16 million students have been studying using Kumon. From 2009, over 4 million students were studying under the Kumon Method at more than 26,000 Kumon Centers in 46 countries.

           Millions of people go to Kumon, I am one of them. I started in Year 1 holidays when I was 6 years old. I started on one of the lower levels after my instructer, Larry, decided how well I did in my starting test which consisted on 10 pages of sums. You can shortenen the amount of pages to 5 if you wish. I left in Year 3 holidays and started up again in the middle of Year 5, last year. Since then, I have moved up many levels and now in my G League which is a very high level. I chose to do both subjects, math and english, and I am on level G in both.

I am sure there's centres in other countries however, I can't find links to theses sites. Try typing into your search box:  Kumon.

Is Exploring Always A Good Idea?

Bored, I sat fidgeting in front of the blazing fire thinking, just wondering, what on earth I could do to pass time. Walking! Exploring! So this was what I decided to do…

    

Slipping on my white coat, I stepped outside breathing in the fresh air. Meandering around for a few minutes, I came across steep steps that looked like they led up to a wonderland of adventures. I didn’t know what to do. Should I climb them? Should I venture further into unknown territory? I chose to do so. Having no proper idea of where I was going, I climbed…
