Creative Writing Challenge - Bob Bilby

Based on the Bluey episode 'Bob Bilby', write a diary from the perspective of Bob Bilby about all the adventures he's had with Bingo's classmates over the last few weekends. Maybe you could write about how he saw an Australian rules football match on TV with Jasper W, or you could write about Bentley taking him for a fun day out to the beach for ice cream and sandcastles, or maybe Sadie taught Bob Bilby how to ballet dance. Anything you want, make it from Bob Bilby's diary!
