The Bird Nest Questions and Answers

The Bird Nest

Tom woke up and turned on the lamp. He pushed the sheet and Woollen rugs off himself and staggered to the Window, which was partly open. He looked up to see a full moon and there, in the moonlight, sitting on a nest in a massive gum tree, was a mother bird and her noisy baby chicks. The nest, made from twigs, straw, wool and dead grass, was swaying wildly from side to side. As it did so, the mother bird tried to calm her frightened young ones by chirping softly to them.

Sunday Church

Yesterday was Sunday and my family and I went to church as always at 10am. The service yesterday was different though because the youth was taking church. My brother is in youth so he was playing guitar...... Well it didn't really look different because he normally plays! It was cool to see different people taking church and in a different way. My favourite thing about the service was the quiz. The kids were only in for part 1 of the quiz because we had to go out to our Sunday school which is called Dynamite Bay.

When we all went out to the back hall, we played a game as usual to start off. Next week we are running church and Dynamite Bay for their services always has a dance, a movie and a game. Last week we filmed some of the video but there was just some finishing touches left to do so we were doing that while the game was running. I am the director of the film so I didn't play the game at all.

I am really excited about the service next week because I am worship leader and that is one of my favourite parts. Also because the services are always fun to do!!! After church a family offered for us to come over to their house and have lunch with them. My dad agreed so we all went over. It was cool and I had fun.

Later on in the day, we went to the hospital to visit our sister. If you remember, earlier on in the year, she went into hospital because of an infection in her foot. Well the infection never went away fully so when she ran or put weight on it, her foot was getting worse so she had to go back in. Luckily this time, she isn't actually sick, just her leg is broken and she has to stay in a bed all day. I really hope she gets out soon!!!

Sunday Rugby Games

Yesterday I went with my Dad and siblings to watch my cousin's rugby games. The first game was a final and my cousin, Jared played. He won which made all the family very happy. Most of my Dad's sisters and brothers were there as well with their kids. The second game was a semi final where my cousin, Tom played. He lost his game which was a disappointment. The games were at different places. Jared's game was at Cornwell Park and there were a lot of people there with shops and stuff like that. Tom's game was at Victoria Park and was less busy. There were 2 games going and only about 200 people. The day was really fun because I got to see all the family and I got to see awesome games. I think that we won't be going to games until later on because those were the finals. While Tom was playing, I got to play a game of touch with my brother and my older cousins. It was fun but it ended pretty quickly because my cousin Micah kept on kicking the ball onto the actual field.
