Jonathans Writing.
One day in the winter holidays in Toronto, Canada, I went to my dad's friend's house. It was really cold, so we were sitting by the fire watching TV when I had an idea,"How about we drive the remote-control car on the pool?". When we got dressed we went out with the car.
The car was made of a base shape but had connectors so we could change the shape of it. It also had many awesomely funky accessories worth about $ 49.99.
So, when my turn came, I drove the r.c. car over the dodgy ice.
Some times the ice broke right behind it so it looked like the deadly cracks in the ice were chasing it. Eventually we drove it over the ice so much that there was almost no ice left!
Then, after about two hours of watching TV, making Lego things and playing hide and seek around the house, we went out again to drive the car. It was his turn to drive it over the dangerous endurance pool so I took a hasty step back (you can tell how he drives). So he started driving the car over the ice but one thing he didn't know was that the ice in the deep end was about 0.5 mm thick, meaning that when he drove it over the deep end of the pool there it goes!
We heard cracking and snapping so we turned around but saw nothing unusual, but then we turned back and saw nothing there ether, no car, no ice, no nothing! There was utter confusion for what was two seconds but felt like two hours! We both looked down into the water simultaneously and saw a trail of bubbles coming from the carwreck! Accidentally he touched the water and somehow got an electric shock (Guess how.).
We stood utter disappointment when he had a crazy idea to jump in to the water to get it. "But you'll freeze!"I said, but what I didn't know was that the swimsuit was insulated. Then up he goes, onto the diving board, ready to jump (into freezing cold water). "3,2,1, Jump!" we shouted and he jumped in...
I waited for what was only 5 seconds but felt like 5 years. Then I heard splashing and cracking then finally up he comes. "It was very cold even with the insulated swimsuit," he said, "And I kept on being shocked! And for the car, Well, I don't know, no harm on trying it out." So we drive it and... It worked!
Because of the little incident we decided not to drive any more cars over the pool (ever!).
I don't know why, but I found it anextraordinarily incredibly funny experience.

SUPERFUDGE BY JUDY BLUME!
I already read SUPERFUDGE by Judy Blume and it was better than the first one I think because they moved to New Jersey for a year and Pete meets a boy called Alex so, him and Alex own a Business to find worms for Mrs Muldour Because she likes eating them! Meanwhile Fudge and his friend Daniel are riding their bikes to the lake down the highway and the whole family thinks they are lost but they were just having lunch and spending their money at the bakery and riding bikes but after that they got their bikes taken away because they were naughty!

Grandads Farewell
It was a seriously sad but sunny day in Rotorua. The urge of crying came closer as every second passed.
A few weeks ago me and my family flew up to the north island, because my grandad was in a very critical condition, he only had 2 months to live. It was a long flight but the thought of driving two hours after that in a car was worse. Eventually we arrived to see my Nana come out of the bright flower curtains with her face held high to greet us. We walk peacefully into the warm comforting lounge to see my grandad eating a peace of rose red water Mellon. You could not even notice he was about to die.
Before we new it he was gone and we were entering the church with tight hearts, sore eyes and loving memory's. Then suddenly the image of him in the hospice bed panting like a fire breathing dragon, mouth open wide and pale white skin, flys circling him like pray as his eyes stay firmly shut.
We sit in the seats at the church watching as all of the photos from grandads life pass even the horses he broke in by himself he also loved hunting, working with tractors and other machinery, he was a kind person and when you needed help he would always be there for you. That is my story of my beloved grandad.
