Dear diary,
I am felling very tired today.My mum keeps on making me do hard work.I know I have an exam to do but I already know it is so easy complained Omar. Okay but you have to get it all correct. But the next day it was his exam and he had to do it for 4 days . The next day when he did it he got all wrong-
And Omar thought he would get them correct but he got them all wrong because he did not practise at home. Oh no what am I going to do, I got them then all wrong. next in year 5, he had another exam and he thought of to cheat by writing them on ahis hand. When the exam started he look at his hand and started writing them down but suddenly his mum found out he cheated because his mum saw his hand.

Dear Diary,
I’ve had a super day! I do get my grandson to come here, at my house, he’s found about my Crown Jewels at my old, tiny kitchen.

I had to pretend I was doing yoga today, but come on! I’m a gangsta Granny, not a teenager or a young fellow, trying to be in a dream land doing yoga. Im trying to succeed to steal the Crown Jewels. Just don’t tell anyone, that. It would be crazy! I have to admire. I will make some cabbage things. Soup, and- well you get the point. I just love being a gangsta, you know, my grandson Ben, he is getting a bit interested in me, like how I stole those jewels and yeah! Hopefully he doesn’t find me boring and doesn’t believe me.
