Halloween


Natalie: On Halloween me, Andrew, Lauren and Craig went trick or treating at 5:00pm. We finished school and walked back to Craig’s house so we could get changed into our costumes and bags. At 4:30 we walked down to our house and waited there till it was dark, which was at 5:00. We walked up the road and back down to owl way, then went off into roads off of owl way. We got lots and lots of sweets in the end and we nearly filled a whole bag each. At about 7 – 8 o’clock we went back to Craig’s house for a while. We waited for our mum and dad to come pick us up when mum and dad got to Craig’s house they stayed for about 10 or 20 minutes then we went home and dad took a picture of us in our costumes and a picture of all our sweets that we got. It was really fun going trick or treating and we all got heaps of sweets.

Churches


Lauren: Since we have been here we have been going different places and on the way to where we have been going we have stoped and taken some pictures of churches. We have taken a lot of pictures of churches. We have also seen some old tombstones at the churches. We went around trying to read them but they were really old and fallen over. Some of them were really old and some weren’t that old. One of the churches was all decorated in Christmas decorations and you couldn’t read the tombstones there because they were really old ones.

Guy Fawkes Night



Lauren: On Monday the 5th of November we went to Nans house and stayed there for a while and we went over to Conegear Park to watch the bon fire and the fireworks. It was a massive bon fire and after it had been burning for a while they started to light the fireworks. The fireworks lasted about ten minutes and they were really good. During the weekend before there were a lot of fireworks going off because some people do them the closest Saturday to Guy Fawkes Night. There were some fireworks going off just across the road and some near our backyard. On Sunday morning we were going out and there was a firework right next to mum’s car. There were a lot of fireworks. Most of them worked but some mucked up and didn’t work. At Conegear Park there were some stalls were you could play some games, there was a throwing one were you had to knock down 3 tins and a darts one were you had to throw three darts into the same colour cardboard. When they were doing the fireworks one of them went into the crowd and some sparks were hitting people as well. It was really cold that night.

Trip to Southend










Andrew: On the 10th of November we went to grandmas. We left home at about 9:00 am. We got there at about 10:30 am. When we got there uncle john was there with his kids. After uncle john had left we sat round and talked then we went out side and brought some extra chairs in for lunch. Me and Lauren stayed out there and played badminton and soccer. Then we came in and had lunch we had sausage rolls pizza, salad, chicken and lots more. After lunch I walked down to the corner shop and brought some football cards which I am collecting. When I got back we played cards and at about 4:30 pm Uncle Roy came up to take Nan to Southend because we were going as well. Grandma didn’t go she went to play cards at a friends. We left at about 5;30 pm. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. When we got there we were only going to go on the arcade machines. But if you got there after 6pm your ticket for the rides was half price. So we got one each they were 10 pound. The first couple of rides were good. I played this game were u had 4 balls and u had to knock down 3 clowns that were on a stand. There were about 30 clowns my first ball missed. My next 2 hit so my last one needed to hit and it went in between 2 it was so unlucky. Then we went on some more rides we went on a rollercoaster that dropped about 20 metres then went upside down twice and twisted round. Then we went on a ride called big drop. It went up about 40 metres then dropped straight down. Then we went on a ride called tidal wave. We didn’t know what it was. It was were you went in a little rubber dingy down a water slide and we got soaked. We didn’t have a change of clothes. Then we had fish and chips. After fish and chips we watched a fire work display it went for about 20 minutes. Then we had some more rides and went over to the amusements I won about 1 pound. Then we went home I was staying at grandmas with nanny. She had been staying there all week. Tonight was her last night. Mum dad Nash and Lon went home they got home at about 12am. We got home about 11 pm. The next day auntie Chris took me home with nanny and grandma. We stopped at a place called marine for lunch I had a burger. The place over looked a lake. Then we went into town after town we went back to our house grandma and Chris stayed until about 7pm. When they left we played some games with Michael Daniel and Craig. We played carpet bowls and magnetic darts they left at about 9 pm it was a good weekend.
