My Holiday

My Holiday

It was a perfect sunny day, a good day to start the holidays off with a bit of tae kwon do training. Because in two weeks time I will be flying to Australia to fight in the Tans Tae Kwon Do tournament that’s going to be a wicked experience. Training wasn’t the way I pictured my holiday, but what I was training for was why I spent my holiday like that. I have the good support from my family my dad spent most of his holiday helping me, while I was training he even joined in as much as he could my mum well she was in charge of the fundraising, with out her I wouldn’t even be able to fly off the ground.
For the second week I didn’t do much I just kept on training and spent a lot of time with my family especially my little brother. My mum, dad and older sister work so I got to spend most of the week taking my brother and little sister to the park I think they quit enjoyed it because after that we would go and buy an ice cream. I remember watching a movie could Twilight that is an awesome movie to watch you would never get sick of watching that movie. I like the holidays because it gives me time to spend quality time with my family and when family come to visit you and you haven’t seen them in ages.

Keyboarding

When I started typing I was doing the one finger type,
but now I have improved and I am now putting my
hand on the guide keys and typing alot faster.
Keyboarding is A good skill that would be useful
to me in the future.

Setting up my blog

When I heard that we were doing blogs I had no idea what they were, but once Ms Holloway was telling us I thought to myself that would be a good way for my parents to see what I have being doing at school.
I really enjoy doing blogs because it could lead me to a good future.
