Mum, do you like the gifts that I have given you?

During the weekend my uncles, aunties, friends came over to my house to celebrate my mum's birthday.

Once everyone had arrived at our house, my friends and I went outside to play a game called Werewolves. How the game works is that someone pretends to be the werewolf and the other people are humans who are trying to run away from the werewolf (it's a similar game to hide and seek). I was good at this game because I only git tagged once and the other people were tagged at least four or more times.
    After that, we went to my room and we formed a club called C.Y.L (this stands for Cheska, Lingtan and Yssabelle). Basically we just play random games together. After that, it was time to have some food we all ran to the kitchen and said a prayer. After we prayed, I ate some spring rolls , chicken and rice I felt like I was in heaven because it was so delicious.

     When that game ended, we went back to my room and talked about the powers that we wished we had.  I wanted fire and invisibility and Jane wanted time and fire. Yssabelle didn't want anything (I don't know why). Then all of a sudden my mum said it was time to go for everyone.

I had a lot of fun celebrating my mum's bithday and next time I hope we can celebrate her birthday for a longer period of time so that I can spend more time with my friends.

Happy birthday to you!

During the weekends, Yssabelle and I went to our auntie's house because it was her birthday.

Once we arrived there, we said Happy birthday to our aunty Tina and she offered us some choconuts. After eating all the delicious choconuts, we went to the guest room and shot a video of us telling scary stories.

After that, we invited them to the guest room and showed them around, we felt like we were tourist guides. Then we played Minecraft together because all of us love to play on it. We love it because you get to create stuff.
     After that we played another game called Marco polo. I didn't get tagged. They told me I was a Marco polo expert and I agreed.
     Next, it was time to eat and I was filled with joy because it is my favourite part of any birthday party. I ate some chicken and soup. (it was the best thing that I've ever tasted). Unfortunately after that, it was time to go home.
     I had fun celebrating my auntie's birthday because I got to celebrate her birthday with her and meet new people.

Let's learn more about Jesus!

During the weekends my dad, brother and I went to Northcote to learn about God and Jesus. 

Once we got there, Chaim and I raced to St. Joseph's hall as fast as motor bikes  because we thought that we were late however, we weren't because it was only 1:30 pm and our sessions start at 2:30 pm so we had one hour to spare. Finally after an hour had past, all the kids arrived so we started our sessions.

The first thing that we did was we played hangman. Father Mario had chosen a very hard three letter word. We lost because he already had drew hangman. The next activity that we did was we made the word love by cutting a paper into four parts. It was hard because we only had an A4 piece of paper.

Later on, we coloured in our word with crayons and wrote a letter to Jesus. After that, we cut a piece of paper and we folded it into a triangle pattern. When everyone was finished I opened it and I couldn't believe my eyes because it transformed into a cross. 

After that, we raced to the park as fast as cheetahs racing to catch their meal. Once we got there, the K.F.L teachers (Kids For Life) brought us some fired chickens and everyone went running to the fried chicken pieces and within seconds it was all gone. My least favourite part was that Chaim, all the other children and I had to go but at least I got to learn about Jesus.

I had a ton of fun learning about Jesus because I got to write a letter to him and meet new friends.

Oh man, we didn't finish our movie!

During the weekend I went to my friend Jane's house because we haven't seen each other for a long time.
     Once I got there my dad and I did our secret handshake and I gave him a big kiss on his cheek, "mwah!" The first thing we did was we ate dinner (of course). I had soup and chicken with green nutritious veggies.
     After that we watched a movie called Minions. It was about how Gru became the Minions leader. When the movie was over we ran back to Jane's room as fast as Bolt because it was so cold in the living room and we had to go to bed now. While we were in bed we watched episodes called Element animations and it was one series about an egg's guide to minecraft and it was really funny because the egg kept on dying because of the monsters.
     Eventually we fell asleep."Shggggggggggggggggggggggggg!" goes the dehumidifier waking me up early in the morning. Then I woke Jane up by shaking her as if she was in a washing machine. Next we watched another movie called Aquamarine. It was a mermaid trying to swim away from her father because he is so mean to her.
     Next we ate some cookie toasted bread with some fresh water. When we were done we quickly went to my ipad and made our own mini movie about two worst enemies, a poor girl and a rich girl swapping bodies and they worked together to get back to the reality world. Sadly we didn't finish the movie because I had to go home. However, we did have fun making the movie because we used a green screen just like in the actual movie theatre.

I had an extraordinary time having a sleepover at Jane's house and next time I hope that we will get to finish our mini movie.
