The Diary of Poppy Watt.......Monday 17th September 1939

 Monday 17th September 1939

Dear Diary,

                   I heard(on the wireless)that the Soviet Union invaded Poland,well still is. Everything is so scary! Tomorrow is my 12th birthday,but I know there's going to be nothing special. At the moment,I'm in Mr. and Mrs. Wells house. They're very kind but they,re not Mummy and Daddy. At least I have Pia Alvarez(my dearest friend). She's nice. It's funny! I never thought I would miss playing outside. But all I've wanted to do for days is to go out  there and have fun. The only time I go outside is at my school.

Mr Barker(my teacher)has a name that suits him very well! He barks when he's cross. But he's still quite nice, when there is no one chewing a pencil and then sticking it up their neighbors ear. I've made some friends , such as Abigail Young, Tagnetti, and Natasha Casico. We make each other laugh. And, tell each other our worries.

I hate that adults say:

"Don't worry about the war, you'll be fine if you do what we tell you to do."I hate it because it's impossible not to be worried,and i know that none of the adults aren't worried. Also I know tat there could be a bomb when the teacher tells us to do our work.
