Missing School

Last week early Monday morning I had to skip school and go to Thames with my brother, sister and also my Nan. But first we started packing our bags and stuffed our bags in the back seat. On the way to Thames we had to drop off my Auntie at the Kelston transition school. We had to go to Thames to attend court because my Nan was a witness there. It took 2 days to figure out how long and what time the court starts and finished.

When we arrived in Thames, it was really cool because it's great to be back in my home town. Thames is a suburb in the Coromandel Peninsula. Being there for a whole week was really cool. It gave me an opportunity to hang out with my family who I don't really see that much. I saw my mother, brothers, sister and also my step dad. My favourite place to go to in Thames is the mall.

On a Tuesday afternoon the adults went to court for my step dad's court case. Us kids had to wait out in the car. There were only 4 of us kids while the other 2 were at school. It was very boring. My mum came out of the court house and took us out to the park. I felt bored.

It was Sunday afternoon and it was time to leave. Saying good bye to everyone was very upsetting because I wanted to see them more. Having a whole week down in Thames was really cool. I can't wait to go back. It was a great time to hang out with the family, even though my sister, brother and I missed a week of school. That was the best excuse to skip school ever. My favourite thing that I did was visiting my family and spending time with them.
