My Grandparents



My Grandparents
By Charlotte





On any special occasion we always go to my Grandparents house. Christmas for example. After we open our presents at our house we go to Granny and Grandpas house and open presents at their place!


We all sit on their couch and open the presents that we have brought for one and other. After we are all satisfied with our presents, we have our Christmas roast lunch. We have my favourite food in the world GRANNYS POTATOS they are so yummy! Then we have desert which is Ice-cream, escimo pies or pavlova which is also my FAVOURITE desert!


When we have all said good bye (not for long) we go to auntie Barbs house and have a big family gathering with Barbs family and friends and we jump on the trampoline.

<<< MY HOLIDAY >>>

MY Holiday!
By Charlotte




Last week as you probably know it was the HOLIDAYS!!!
St Benedict had a two week holiday, (I know some schools that had a 3 week holiday!) and the first week my Mum had the week off because she's normally at work and the second week she had to go back :(  but that meant that I could go stay at my friends houses!(YAY) 

The First Week 

We didn't do that much in the first week but we did watch the whole Star Wars movies and they are my FAVORITE movie series! We also went up Mt Kau Kau a few times, it was tiring. On Friday Eva, Abby and I went to the movie Inside Out. It was a really great movie! But we didn't wan't to do much so we stayed home and kept warm and spent time with Mum before she had to go back to work.

The Second Week

Monday = My Sister and I bused into town and meet Mum (Mum works in town) we looked in shops and I got two bath bombs from Lush and a Cotton Candy frappuccino from Starbucks after that I packed my bag and then went to Abby's house for a sleepover.

Tuesday = Abby and I went to an Ice Skating Rink at Wellington Water Front and we got sushi and Wendy's ice cream and stayed up all night talking!

Wednesday = I went to my Auntie Barbs house and my cousins and my cousins friends and I went to Chipmunks. It was very weird to go there because I haven't been since I was really little. It has changed so much!

Thursday = My Sister and I packed our overnight bags early in the morning and Emma and Lucy came and picked us up to go to there house for a sleepover until Saturday! We went Ice skating and got to have sushi and went to the central Library and city gallery (we did a lot).

Friday = We woke up really late and walked to Miramar shops and got two movies one was called The invention of lying the other was the Maze Runner. By the time we had lunch and watched both the movies it was time to go to bed.

Saturday = Mum came to pick us up from Emma and Lucy's but we stayed a bit and had lunch and had pamper evening this included doing nails, foot spa, hair and my sister did my make-up. When we went home we had dinner and went to bed and Ollie came over at 11:00 at night! but I didn't stay awake that long. He came from Christchurch were he lives, he came to pick up his car that he bought.

Sunday = We dropped Ollie and his daughter Bluette (who was at the Arise conference with there church) to the airport and When we got home I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and it was MERCEDES !! After we finished the biggest hug in the world she asked me if I wanted to come to Wellington water front with her and Veronica. When we got to the water front we went to Te Papa museum and saw, Gallipoli the scale of our war exhibition! It was a very good way to show people what the war was like. After that we were all hungry so we went to a restaurant at Beach Babylon and I got a Jaffa milkshake it was delicious!!!

  
And this is were the journey ends hoped you enjoyed reading about my holiday!  My question is - What is your place to go holidaying?

BYE :)

-+-+-+-+EPIC+-+-+-+-





EPIC 




A few weeks ago the school created this thing called an EPIC award you get this if you show the EPIC values and they are Empathy, Perseverance, Integrity, Creativity

The value I think I showed is creativity because in our tasks this week we had to do title pages and I think let my creativity show I did a really cool K.O.S tittle page. (keeping ourselves safe.)

I also showed Perseverance at my Cheerleading comp we had to wait a long time we stayed 5 hours at the gymnasium and Zeal (my team) came 1st place and Mercedes & Siena team came 1st and they got a bid to go Australia and compete there !!!

The easiest value to show for me is Creativity,
and I don't really have a hardest value to show but I do have to work on some.
