 My Holiday

In the first week of the holidays I was with my mum. I didn't do much I just watched movies, took my cousin to the park, and hung out with my family. The movies I watched were Grown ups 1 & 2, all of the Cars movies, Lion king, and a few other ones. 

In the second week of the holidays of I was with my dad. On The Monday we didn't do anything just hung out. On Tuesday we had a movies marathon. We watched many different movies. On Wednesday we went to Move X which is a trampoline park. After that we went to the mall to get haircuts. After haircuts we just walked around trying on clothes. On Wednesday my step sister Lucy and I stayed at my step nanas house for the night. On Thursday morning Lucy and I took the dogs for a walk to the playground. When we got back we packed up our stuff then we went back home. For the rest of the day we were outside on the trampoline. On Friday we just watched movies again. Then on Saturday I went back to my mums and for the rest of Saturday and the Sunday I just did random things.

  My Dad

A choice activity today for school is to make a blog post about your dad or caregiver. I am doing one about my dad. I have to write about the things that make him special, things I love about him, etc. 

My dad. I love my dad because he is a super cool guy, he works really hard every day to support the family and help us. My dad and I like some of the same things like cars, 4WD, mud, building things, rottweilers, need for speed, play fighting, listening to rock music, and spending time together. My sisters and I like to annoy him by calling him old man Jenkins, and Rodina Dwang. We like to go to the Waimakariri river to go 4WD and sometimes he gives me a driving lesson.

 Art

This afternoon for school the senior syndicate had many different choices on what they can do. I chose do an art activity. I drew two very simple things. A flower and a dinosaur. I didn't color them in because I liked them without color. They are both very simple, but I like them. Here they are.
