Hi,
I was at school today it wasn’t very good. I got into trouble for fighting again I got 3 of the belt it is very sore and I have big red marks on my hand. We were practising poems to say in front of the Royal Inspector he only comes once a year. My ink kept on blotting my page. I got lots of splinters on my foot because of the wooden floor had bits of wood sticking out from it. Today it was very dark because we only have gas lamps. I was really scared incase I got a disease from licking my slate to get it clean. Everyone has to be on their best behaviour tomorrow. I am very scared incase I say my poems wrong but I have learned them very well.
