Shop till you drop?

Why do I like shopping? Well… because it can be fun, interesting and just amazing!

I don’t like shopping for food, but I love shopping for clothes, shoes, furniture, computers, books and things like that. I usually go shopping to big shopping malls, because I can buy everything I want and need in one spot. I would love to go shopping every single day, but I know that’s impossible. I go shopping when I need clothes, shoes… that’s not very often, so I also go shopping just for fun.

I usually don’t go shopping for food, my mum and dad do that. They go to supermarkets once a week. I don’t go shopping on Sundays or late at night, because I don’t have time. And I’m too lazy. I go shopping with my friends or with my parents. I like it in both cases. I mean, shopping is shopping, right?  Sometimes I also go window shopping with my friends.

I don’t spend my money online. That means, I don’t do online shopping. I believe that shopping is much easier and faster on the internet, but you don’t really know what you’re buying. Maybe the product looks perfect on the photograph, but when you actually get it and try it on, it can be completely different.

What about commercials? Do I like them? No! I hate them! I never read them, I never watch them on TV, I never look at them on the internet… They’re so incredibly annoying and boring. They hide the negative sides of the product, and make the positive ones look so much better, than they really are.

I don’t know why, but shopping is probably more interesting and fun for women.   I don’t understand some people. Come on, how can you hate shopping? There are so many reasons why I love shopping.  I guess it’s one of the things I really like to do, one of my hobbies.

For example, I don't have to eat everything from my plate or I must go to bed at nine o'clock. I don't have to clean the dishes. I must be polite. I can watch TV. I can't be noisy. I can help my father at his work. I and my sister have got some rules between us too. For example, we don't disturb each other when we do our homework.

I really like my family rules because they're fair and fairly divided.

Leon, 7. a

In our family we have family rules.

I must tidy up my room every weekend and sometimes help with other chores. I must do my homework and study every day. I must get up early in the morning except at the weekends, but I don’t have to make my bed every morning.

At lunch time I must sit politely. I must cover my mouth when I yawn or cough. I don’t have to make lunch, but sometimes I go to shop to buy some food and drink. I must obey my parents. I must always say “please” if I ask for something, or “thank you” if somebody gives me something.

My ideal school

I get to my ideal school at 10 a.m. At first, we have breakfast in a small colourful restaurant, where we can do our homework, talk and enjoy ourselves. We only have four lessons a day. We have a lot of space around the school. There is a playground for small kids and a big swimming pool. There is a big mountain two kilometres away from school. In winter we can go skateboarding, skiing or just hiking. There is a river and we can go bungee jumping or fishing. We always have P.E. outside. We have an animal room, too. There are tigers, elephants, lions, giraffes, monkeys ... We have biology there. We feed, clean and take care of the animals. History is very interesting because we have a time machine, so we can travel in past. We have meetings with Einstein, Columbus, Mozart and others. We have geography and music at the same time. We travel all around the world and go to concerts of famous singers. There are thousands of students, hundreds of teachers and we all know each other- Teachers are nice and calm. We all have good marks. we don't have homework every day. We learn maths, art, English and other subjects in the computer room. There are bedrooms for students from distant cities and a dining room for students and guests. We all have great time there. 
Zala, 9.b


A typical day at my ideal school starts at nine a.m. every day. Every second day classes take place somewhere outside, it depends on a topic and learning material of that day. 
The school is modernly designed, therefore it has plenty of windows, space and it combines wood and white concrete as a building material. It is surrounded by a big lawn with a playground, trees and flowers. 
Every student has their own part of the lawn to plant seeds of their own choice and learn about gardening as well. 
Classes contain about 15 students and mostly use practical work as a learning technique. Teachers are educated on one subject only, what makes them more productive in passing their knowledge to the students.  Every pupil has their own computer to make notes at school but every day's homework is to rewrite and sum up all of them in a notebook just to improve handwriting and repeat what they have done.  lessons usually last until two p.m. unless they are spent outdoors, those can end later. 
After school students are welcome to use the school library, cafe, gym and the laboratory to attend afternoon activities or just hang out. 
Ava, 9.b

I'm visiting the best school ever. What I am going to tell you is my ideal school. 
My school is at the end of the valley, near the waterfall. If you are visiting that school, you have to go through the waterfall. Only students with imagination can visit and see that school. Our day starts at 8 o'clock in the morning. My first lesson is making magic and learning spells. After that we have our second lesson. We usually go to the forest to feed and talk to the animals. Then we have free time so we can do whatever we want to. We ride horses and fly on the brooms, for example. We never have homework because we don't go to ordinary school as other "normal" students. After that we have lunch at school. You can eat whatever is on your mind. 
That's why I love my school and I'd never change it. I'm lucky to be that special to visit such an ideal school as mine is.

Our stories

A pirate 

Once upon a time there was a pirate who lived in a cave. He always wanted to find a secret treasure that was hidden in a room with the gate that shuts itself. But for that gate he needed a key. He had only a drawing of it. One day, together with his wise friend who had a map to the location of the key, he went treasure hunting. The location of the key was near the mermaid town. But these mermaids were evil and they ate people. He had a gun, so he could kill them. Then they killed all of them and found the key. After a long day of adventures, they both went to sleep in a mermaid nest. Next morning they headed to the mountains to find the gate. After the whole day of hiking, the gate appeared in front of them. Using the key they opened the gate. It was very hard to unlock it because of the rusty lock. They entered the big golden room and turned on their torches. Statues, chalices, swords, and helmets - everything was made of pure gold. They decided to live there and to be the richest men in the world.

The story of a wise man

Once upon a time there lived a wise man that only had a cottage. He was very wise, but also sad, because he was poor.

       One day he went outside. He saw a shiny object on the ground and picked it up. He found a ring that makes the one who weares it tell the truth. But only five minutes after he found the ring, a theif stole it from him and ran into the forest. The wise man set a trap for the theif cleverly and waited for him. The wise man caught the theif and got his ring back. On his way home he stared at the ground carefully, because he thought that he could find some more valubale items. And then he found a locked chest with no key. He looked for the key, but he couldn't find it. The next day when he was outside, he heard the wind that whispered him that he should go to the widzard. When the wise man found the widzard, he asked him if he could open the chest. The widzard laughed and opened the chest.

       They were both very disappointed. In the chest there was only a note: The treasure is in the mystery, in taking the right path in life and in having a great time. After that day the wise man was happy, because the treasure really is in the mystery, in taking the right path in life and in having a great time.

Magic Island

Once upon a time, on a Magic Island there lived a queen and a king. They had a beautiful daughter, a princess who couldn't laugh. One day a Dragon flew over the island and stole the princess. The queen and the king were very sad. They said: "Who finds the princess, he will be another king, or he will marry her."Every man on the island wanted to marry the princess, but no one could find her.
The king was very desperate. Every man who wanted to find the princess disappeared. On the Island there was a cook. He said to the king: "I will find the princess." The king said: "What? You are just a cook, you can’t find the princess." Cook said angrily: "Yes,I am but I can find the princess."
The cook went to find the princess. He went to the sea. There was his old friend a mermaid. The cook said to her: "Hello, my old friend." The mermaid said happily: "Hello, and what are you doing here?" The cook said: "I am going to find the princess!" The mermaid said: "I saw her yesterday. She flew away on dragon’s wings." The cook said: "Did you see where they were going?" The mermaid said: "Yes, into a cave, but you must have a flying carpet to fly there. I can give it to you." She gave him a flying carpet and he flew away, killed the dragon and saved the princess. She smiled.They married and lived happily ever after.

Ian, 7. b

Every year we have a special Christmas dinner.  My aunt, uncle and cousins come and everyone makes something to eat. 
This Christmas we wanted to make something special. My cousins brought three different kinds of potatoes. It was very interesting and I liked it very much. They also brought steaks and some cake. My parents made  a chicken filled with bread amd my favourite dish - a chicken pie. I made some muffins and orange jelly. 
I liked the chicken pie, because it was crunchy on the outside and creamy inside and it was absolutely delicious. Small pieces of chicken, mixed with sour cream and mustard are stuffed into special pie dough. Then it is put into the oven and baked until it is golden brown. After that you are ready to enjoy it. 
Next year I will cook something new and interesting again.

When I was little ...

Because of my allergies and because my parents weren't at home over day I didn't go to kindergarten. Instead I had a baby-sitter. She was the nicest person I have ever met, besides my parents. There wasn't one thing she didn't allow me to do. As a 5-years old child I liked puzzles and I also loved drawing and playing with lego blocks.
I had a lot of toys, but I didn't really play with them, because most of my time I listened to fairy-tales that my baby-sitter told me. I didn't really want new toys, because I was happy with what I had.

What is Life?

Life is golden

Life is fair

like a rainbow in your hair

Lafie's one fantastic light

Life is shining in the night.

Life's fire from above

Life is you and Life is Love.

Mila, 8.b

Life is a rollercoster, get on it

Life is a school, lesrn in it.

Life is homework, make it,

Life is a plant, water it.

Life is cruel, no one survives it.

Domen, 8.a

Life is short, live it.

Life is happy, full of laughter.

Life is sad, lots of tears.

Life is a surprise, enjoy it.

Life is difficult, make it easy.

Life is an experience, dare it.

Life is too precious, don't destroy it.

Teja, 8.a

It's strange, how Life can turns

and it's strange, where Life can go.

From a shower singing to the biggest show.

It could be stupid and it could be bad

but it has to be worth it

because it's our only path.

One day can ruin it and one can

make it shine, but it's still

taking us over mountains and

horizons no matter what or how. 

Ava, 8.b

Love and hate


Some people love, some people hate,
and sometimes people use you
like a piece of bate.
But others, when they love
it comes from up above.
Some love is just so deep
it makes you want to weap.

Kiley, 9. a


Love is the feeling you make me feel.
Oh, so free it used to be.
Vermillion my blood used to flow.
Entirely yours I was.

How then you destroyed our wonderful life.
Aching my heart is inside.
To me you always meant everything.
Exiled I now reside.

Noah, 8. a


Value, purpose, destiny


I know I have a destiny,
despite the endless sea.

And in the darkest stormy nighty,
I know He’ll come for me.

My several worlds are in His hands,
He won’t forget my name.

I’m perfect for His perfect plan,
I won’t be put to shame.

Rebecca, 9. a


Run

My little friend has got
the sled and I have packed
a snack. We are now running
away and we are never coming back.


So long everybody, it was nice to
meet you all. But we are off into
the world and we promise we won’t fall.

What awaits us in this new world
we really do not know. But maybe
if you come with us, new things
await you too.


Angela, 8. a


My curl

When I was a little girl
I had a little curl.
That curl was really pretty,
but now, it’s such a pity;
I cut it with a knife
and now it’s left my life.


Kiley, 9. a


“Will you be my friend?”
Said a girl to her toy.
But before it answers back,
she puts it on her highest
shelf and never brings
it down.


“Will you be my friend?”
Said a woman to her life.
but before it answers back,
she passes it quickly and
forgets.


“Will you be my friend?”
Said and old man to the death.
but before it answers back,
it takes him far away,
where everything seems so okey
and nobody forgets.
And then it finally says: “I will.”


Ava, 8. b

One of those days ...

One day I was walking along the street to the bus station. I was really near it when the bus came and splashed me. I was wet from my head to my feet. And then the bus driver didn’t even wait for me but drove away quickly. So that’s why I was compelled to go home on foot. When I came home even my mum was screaming because I didn’t tidy my room. I was tired and when I lay down fell asleep immediately. Five minutes later when I was deep in sleep, my sister came in my room and asked me if I could help her with her homework. I was so tired that I got out of the bed and pushed my sister out of the room. Then I just lay back and tried to fall asleep again, but I couldn’t. I finally fell asleep at three o’clock in the morning. That was the worst day ever.

Urša, 8. b

It was one normal day. I woke up and I remembered that I forgot about my German class. I quickly picked up my clothes and ran through the door. I came to school by car and entered. I was too late and the door was closed. In that moment I remembered that I forgot to do my homework. I started doing it when the first hour began. I was shaking because I didn’t do my homework and the teacher started to ask questions. She called my name and I had to come in front of the blackboard and answer her questions. When the school ended I was angry because I was late to German class, I forgot my homework and the teacher asked me questions. At that moment the bus drove away in front of my eyes.
That was the worst day in my life!
Luka B., 8. b


One morning I woke up late. I quickly got dressed and ran into the kitchen. I didn’t have time to eat anything, so I just poured myself a glass of milk. But it tasted funny. When I checked it I realized it had gone bad. I got to school five minutes late and by the third lesson I found out I had forgotten my books for two subjects. The teachers weren’t exactly happy with this.
When the last bell rang, I went home. It had been raining all morning and the streets were covered with puddles. Right on the corner of my street a car splashed me with water.
When I finally got home, it was a huge relief. Well, this day couldn’t possibly get worse. Boy, I was wrong. Y six years old cousin came for a visit with her mum. The problem is, my cousin is a kind of nosy. Ok, she is really nosy. She wanted to go into our rooms, tipping over the vases, and on top of it, she spilled grape juice all over me. When they finally left, I was getting ready to go to my riding school when I found out it was cancelled.
Bad days happen, but that was really too much!
Angela, 8. a

I woke up and it was a horrible morning. It was raining. I was hungry, so I wwent to the kitchen and there I figured out that we ran out of bread. So I had to eat cornflakes. I didn’t like that. But then I remembered that that day was one of the special days. That night we had a performance at Cankarjev dom, so I didn’t have to go to school. So I dressed up and went to Cankarjev dom.
On my way there a car came by and splashed me. I was really angry because I was all wet, so I had to hurry up.
When I came to the theatre, I went directly to our dressing room. There I found out that I forgot my dance costume at home. I was really upset. When my mother brought me the costume and I was prepared, I went near the stage. All my group was there already and we started to prepare for the performance. When I was dancing I fell and sprained my ankle. At first I didn’t know it, but when I was walking to the stage to perform, I felt a pain in my ankle. I danced anyway, but it hurt really badly.
I hope that a day like that won’t happen again.
Petra, 8. a

Iva, 6.b

Are we shopping addicts?

I love shopping because it's fun and it relaxes me. I like shopping only for myself and my sister. I usually shop in big shopping malls because there is a lot of smaller shops and big choice.
I go shopping for myself and my sister every month. I ususally buy a t-shirt, trousers, jeans and make up. I go shopping with my sister Tjaša because she helps me choose the right clothes. I often go window shopping, when I get bored. I spend my pocket money on sweets, presents for my friends and make up. I don't like online shopping because when you pay for something, you usually never get it, because they lie and take out money. I never read advertisment and watch TV commercials, because they're annoying.
All in all, I will always love shopping. My dreams are that I will some day go shopping to New York.
Taja, 8. b

I don't like shopping because it's boring and I don't like spending money. I like shopping for computer games.
I usually go shopping in small shops because they are near my home. I go shopping three times a week. I and my family also shop on Sundays. I usually buy food. I go shopping with my parents. I like it because I don't have to pay. I never go window shopping. I don't spend my pocket money. I think that online shopping is not very safe because people can steal money from your bank account. I sometimes read advertisments but I don't watch TV commercials because sometimes I think that commercials are longer than the film I'm watching.
In conclusion, I think that shopping is just a waste of time.
Matic, 8. b

I like shopping in general but only for myself. I like walking around the store and picking up things for myself when nobody bothers me.
I prefer shopping in small shops like boutiques and shops with old things. It's not crowdy and it's more like a hobby, not a work to do. Small shops are usually more expensive but just window shopping around the town is good, too. The most important reason why I like small shops is that they are not advertised. There aren't any commercials about their products. I hate commercials, there are too many of them and thy ruin everything. If all shops were like this I would go shopping more often, but now I usually buy things when I need something and boutiques are (as I said) expensive, so I try to avoid them. I usually go shopping at day time when shops are open, of course. I prefer buying things when I pass  the store on daily activities or in the town, and not to go somewhere just for shopping. That's why I usually go shopping alone so nobody bothers me. My parents just give me the money but only when they agree or things are necessary. That's why I don't want to receive my pocket money because, in fact, my parents pay for almost all my things. I usually buy things in the store and not online because I always want to see the product which I want to buy and make sure if the thing is really as I imagined. This is probably the most important reason to buy something; you have to like it and it has to look like you imagined.
Ava, 8. b

I don't like shopping because it is boring and I think it is a waste of time and money. I get twenty euros a month from my parents and I have to spend them very carefully. I usually go shopping in big shopping malls once a week and I buy only the things I really need. Sometimes I stop in front of the shopping window to see what can I buy inside. I usually buy some nice clothes in men's wear that suit me. Sometimes TV commercials help me buy some things easily. I never buy online because I don't know if the new clothes suit me. I often go shopping by myself and sometimes with my sister in the shopping centre Supernova. I am very happy if I find some nice clothes and go home as soon as possible.
Luka B., 8. b

I like shopping because I like buying things and have them for myself. I like shopping for myself.
I usually go shopping to the small shops, but once a week I and my family go shopping to the big shops (supermarkets). We go shopping because we need food and other things. I go shopping twice a week. We never go shopping on Sundays because we usually go to other places (towns), only if we run out od food.
I usually buy some drinks or sweets. I go shopping by myself and I like it, because there's no one to say to me to stop buying sweets. I sometimes go window shopping. I don't get my pocket money, because I don't need it. I don't like online shopping because I don't trust it. I don't like watching TV commercials because they are long and boring.
All in all, I lke shopping for and by myself, but only once or twice a week.
Lan, 8. b

I like shopping when I do it with my friends, and when I'm in a good mood, I like it with my mum, too. I usually go shopping with my mum, because my dad is not so patient. We actually go shopping just when we need something. When my mum goes shopping, she buys some food. When I go shopping I usually buy clothes. And when my dad goes shopping, it means that he will just look around and buy nothing. We all go shopping late at night, because there are not so many people in the shopping centre. I prefer small shops, but at the same time, it's practical to go shopping to shopping centres, because I can buy everything at the same place, so I'm not tired of walking to different stores. That's why I also like buying things on internet, but never clothes, because of the size - I just don't know which should I take... But anyway, I don't spend so much money, I'm saving it for the products which I want and are more expensive. I sometimes go window shopping, but the next day I usually go and buy the things I have seen in the shops. I see many commercials on TV, but when they play them, I always switch the programme. I think they're boring, but that's the way they make money. Good for them...The point is that I like shopping because I get some new things.
