Why My Grandad is the Best

Grandad loves me so much because I give him directions and make him lunch when he’s hungry.  He takes me jogging with him and he takes me to the races because I like horses.  

He works at Spring Hill Prison but he doesn’t let me go there because kids aren’t allowed there because it is a prison. 

When I sometimes get bored, he comes over and plays with me. We play netball and Snakes and Ladders.  When I go to after school care, he picks me up and takes me home to have dinner and rest up for the next day. 

That’s why I love my Grandad.

My Wonderful Mother

My wonderful mother looks after me when I am sick. She gives me milo if I am cold and puts a blanket over me. She checks my head if I am hot. She will let me eat in bed so that I don't get cold.

My wonderful mother gives me lots of information about netball. Sometimes, she will tell me to stick with my partner or get into space. After my game, my mum lets me buy something at the shop because she is really proud of me.

My wonderful mother helps me when I am hurt. When she sees me hurt, she goes and gets a plaster or a bandage so that it will heal. She tells me to be careful so that I don't get hurt again. I say thank you to her for helping me.

Breakfast Cereals

Today I found out about breakfast cereals and that you should have a breakfast with less than 15 grams of sugar, less than 10 grams of fat and more than 5 grams of fiber. Here are some cereals with all three things - WeetBix and porridge. You can also add fruit to your cornflakes. Our have toast with your spaghetti. You should never have no breakfast because your body will be too tired to learn and work, so that’s why we have breakfast. You should not have Nutrigrain or Coco Pops every morning because they have lots of sugar in them so we should look at the labels to make sure  that they have all have all of the three things.
