The words of the day

Fleek – perfectly groomed eye brows

Plagiarize – publish a borrowed thought

Shenanigator – a person who investigates shenanigans


Writing from words of the day

The writers used this topic to write about - Santa visits McDonald, Not going to plan, Chaotic but beautiful, Safety at McDonalds and He rarely had a shower.


Exercise – an object that symbolises your life

The writers had a variety of items symbolising their lives - I would rather write than learn, Things left behind in the UK, A wonderful machine, the mobile phone and a magnifying glass.
