Hi, everyone! Who empties the bin in your home? I’m doing a survey to find out what jobs children do at home. In our house, my dad empties the bins and takes out the rubbish, and my mum vacuums the carpets. My sister sometimes dusts the furniture, and we both have to tidy our rooms. I’m a tidy person, so I enjoy tidying my room. After dinner, we have to clear the table and load the dishwasher or do the washing-up. I helped to cook dinner on Saturday, and everyone enjoyed it so I’m going to do it again! We help put away the clothes, too. I like matching socks, but why is there always one extra sock? My favourite jobs are outdoors. I love watering the plants in the garden, and I don’t mind taking out the rubbish either. What about you? How do you help at home? Send me a message!
