6. Expected Year 6 Writing (end of Year) A report Level 4 Report on the Pack-it-in-Bag I have tested the Pack-it-in-Bag for one month, and have reached the following conclusions. I like the bag because it can fit all my books in as well as my lunch box and my P.E kit. Also on the outside it has little compartments so you can put all your pens and pencils in. This means you don’t have to hunt through your bag just to find one pen. The bag also looks stylish as it comes in an assortment of colours, it doesn’t just come as a plain black school bag. On the other hand the bag isn’t waterproof so all my books and the bag got very wet, as well as that the bag can’t be put in the washing machine or tumble dryer so it took ages to dry. Furthermore, as I am only small the straps on the bag are only one size and are too big for me. For this reason the bag sliped on to my elbows and I needed to keep pulling it up. I think if the bag was going to become more popular it would need to be in a more suitable material (e.g. one that was waterproof) and you would also need to make the straps so the size of them could be increased or decreased to fit different people. In general I would give the bag seven out of ten marks which is reasonablly good. I hope you will consider my ideas and maybe i’ll see the Pack-it-in-Bag in the shops soon.
