'My Achievements'
I have accomplished special achievements in running, football, dancing and singing.
Running
I have set many running records for my primary school and hope to do the same in my secondary school. I love running and personally think I'm better at long distance because I have the energy, enthusiasm and stamina. My running hero is: Brigid Kosgei because she is a great long distance runner, has set a world running record and she won this years London Marathon with a well paced run of 2 hours 18 minutes.
Football
I played football for my primary school and we did really well. I'd even score the winning goal at times! I've watched West Ham, which is the team I support play at London Stadium and Upton Park. Right now, I'm training to be in a local football team and hope to make the squad. My football heroes are: Harry Redknapp and West Ham's Declan Rice because they are or were really good in midfield, which is where I am best at and they both could attack, defend well and are very skilful.
Dancing
I've been dancing since I was 2 years old and still enjoy it. I have got many distinctions, merits, certificates and medals for my exams. I have dancing once a week taking part in modern, tap and singing. I love singing I feel it's my strength. I even sing in the shower!
Singing
I have participated in Havering music festival three times, which was a record for my school.
I am so proud of my achievements and I hope you are of yours.

At my new school I'm in the green house, whose mascot is Kermit the frog.
As sports captain I thought of an idea to create a mini football league vs the other houses.
When voting for sports captain I was the only one that came prepared with a speech!
"Everyone is unique and that is a good thing don't think it's a bad thing"
"Do not doubt yourself you are perfect just the way you are"
"Be you"

'Ruby's 1st Week at Secondary'
My name is Ruby, I am eleven years old and I can't wait to share my adventures with you! I love all sports but running and football are my passions. I took part in London Youth Games cross country in 2019 and Havering girls won gold! It was a fantastic achievement.
This week I started at a new school and I'm now in year 7, I couldn't wait to start secondary school, I was really excited and eager to learn. I was even the first pupil to enter the school on the first day!
Secondary school is much larger than primary school but I think I have adjusted well and I'm really excited. At the moment because of Covid-19 Year 7 are in a bubble and in only one section of the school: E Block. We must stay positive though! There are more lessons and a different teacher for each subject. Most of my primary school friends go to my new school but I have made some new friends. I even got voted sports captain by my class for my class, I can't wait to get started!
On Saturday, I took part in trials for a local football team, I really hope I make the team. It was good to play with the girls who play for my age group and learn new tricks.
I also received my medals and certificates for my dancing exams, it was great to be back at my dancing school for the first time since March.
It was hot this week and on Sunday I enjoyed a lovely roast dinner at a restaurant in Leigh on Sea to celebrate my nan's birthday. I saw a war ship and enjoyed a vanilla whip ice cream, delicious!
