    ENGLISH – READING

    I think the special visitor is a Animal Keeper, so he looks after animals.
    Also he may have pets of his own.

Brooke has her own room as well, mummy and daddy have a shower room of there own. We also have a nice garden were i and Brooke play football. Our house has a nice living room, which daddy has put a huge TV in. We watch lots of movies as a family when everybody is free from doing stuff. We have a attic that i and Brooke go up to get things for mummy and daddy it is very fun; as there is a very long ladder that i and Brooke like to climb.
