During the weekends I stayed over with my grandparents at Mangere to keep them company.

In the morning we change and waited for a taxi to take us to the shopping centre. First, we bought some fish for Sunday lunch. Next we bought some more fish & chips from the takeaway shop. Then we went home and ate the food.

Later I played cards with my grandma for a few minutes. Then I went to change and watched t.v. Finally my parents came to pick me up the other day. It was a relaxing weekend with my grandparents.

Do we need to celebrate Mission day?

I agree that we need to celebrate Mission Day because we raise fund to an orphanage called "The Holy Angels" in India. Every class at our school discuss what activity will they'll be running like face painting, book sale, karaoke, and selling lollies, drinks and food. Before we start our fun day we go to church. Then we can start Mission day.

On Mission day we can wear any clothes which we call mufti. We also pay money for raffles. We can choose a prize and at the end of the day we could be lucky enough to win a prize. Finally the teachers will send the money to the person who is in charge. Then he or she will give the money to the orphanage.

We need to celebrate Mission day because we have fun and fund raise money to the orphanage.
