A few years ago we had a big family Christmas at my grandparents. They live on a farm. Everyone came to the celebration. My cousins stayed with us. we had a huge celebration. My granny and I made pudding and decorated the tree. They set up a long table and we put up lots of decorations.The food was wonderful. My favourite part was desert. We all dressed nicely for the celebration. Later we I opened presents with my cousins. I got a beautiful doll and toy caravan. We had lots of fun. While I was there we went on lots of walks on the farm. We went to the dams and we went and looked at the piglets. We also did a lot of baking. We baked bread and milktart. We played lots of games with our cousins. We also went and looked at the dairy. My brother was helping out on the farm and riding on tractors.We had an awesome time. I cant wait for Christmas next year.

My I am poem

I am Smart and Funny
I wonder what its like in other parts of the world
I hear Birds singing
I see A sun setting 
I want to have fun
I am Smart and Funny

I pretend to have an adventure
I feel amazing and happy
I touch something soft and fluffy
I worry when something goes wrong
I cry when I feel sad
I am Smart and funny

I understand when something has gone wrong
I say we should all be smiling
I dream about a place far away
I try help people
I hope that everyone can be joyful
I am Smart and Funny
