L-isbaħ vaganza ta' ħajti

Fl-aħħar kienet waslet il-ġurnata li kont ilni nistenna. Kont vera eċitat għax dakinhar konna se mmorru s-Serbia biex naraw lill-familja tagħna.

Kien il-ħamsa ta' Lulju u t-temp kien vera sabiħ. Qomna kmieni ħafna biex nippreparaw l-aħħar affarijiet fil-bagalji. Wasalna l-ajruport għal ħabta tal-ħdax ta' filgħodu għax konna se nitilqu fis-siegħa ta' wara nofsinhar. Il-vjaġġ minn Malta għas-Serbia kien se jieħu sagħtejn. Kelli seba' mitt sena biex naslu għax kont ilni ħafna ma nara lin-nanniet u liz-zijiet. Kollox mar sew u wasalna fil-ħin. Il-qraba tagħna kienu qegħdin jistennewna ħerqana fl-ajruport. Ma dommniex ma' wasalna d-dar tan-nanniet fejn konna se noqogħdu għax id-dar tagħhom tinsab fiċ-ċentru ta' Belgrad, għoxrin minuta 'il bogħod mill-ajruport. Hemmhekk sibna qraba oħra jistennewna u flimkien kellna festin żgħir. Kont ferħan għax fl-aħħar erġajt rajt lill-kuġin tiegħi Sasa li għandu ħdax-il sena. Matul il-vaganza żorna ħafna postijiet sbieħ li qatt ma kont rajt qabel. Ġurnata minnhom morna z-zoo fejn hemmhekk rajna ħafna annimali differenti. Kien hemm injunfanti, orsijiet, xadini, sriep, iljuni, kukkudrilli u ħafna oħrajn. Ġurnata oħra morna fuq muntanja li jisimha Zlatibor. Hemmhekk rajn ħafna ħdura madwarna u kien hemm laguna vera sabiħa. Darb'oħra morna fuq ferrovija żgħira li ħaditna madwar għoljiet li minnhom rajna veduti mill-isbaħ. Mid-dar tan-nanniet kont nieħu gost ukoll nara t-tramm għaddej. Waqt li kona s-Serbia kelli għeluq snini u kollha flimkien morna fejn laguna oħra jisimha Ada. Hemmhekk lgħabna bil-ballun fuq il-ħaxix, kilna f'wieħed mir-ristoranti u dorna madwar il-laguna bir-roti. Kienet ġurnata speċjali għalija. Kull filgħaxija konna mmorru f'ġnien kbir viċin id-dar. Hemm għamilt ħafna ħbieb ġodda u konna noqogħdu nilagħbu l-futbol u l-biljards. F'Belgrad għoġbuni ħafna t-toroq għax huma kbar u wesgħin, fil-fatt, bil-lejl kienu jkunu mixgħulin b'ħafna dawl.

Wara tliet ġimgħat,  il-vaganza waslet fit-tmiem tagħha u kont vera mdejjaq għax kont se nerġa' nitlaq lill-familja li tant inħobb. Din kienet vaganza speċjali li mhux se ninsiha qatt!

Christmas Day

The alarm clock rang. It was eight o'clock in the morning. It was Christmas Day!! I flew out of the bed and ran towards the Christmas tree. There I saw a lot of presents. I was very excited and started ripping off the wrapping paper which was around the gifts.

Soon after, my family and I went to pick grandma at San Gwann so that she can have Christmas lunch with us. Back home there was a nice scent coming out of our kitchen. My mum had been preparing Christmas lunch. After giving grandma a welcome drink, she gave me the Christmas present she had bought me. What a beautiful red dress my grandma gave me!!! At noon we sat down and we had lunch. We had lasagne and turkey. Dad placed the huge turkey in the middle of the table and started cutting it into portions. Mum added some vegetables, potatoes and a tasty sauce into to and it tasted really good. For desert we had a Christmas pudding and a cup of hot chocolate.

During lunch, we watched the Pope's blessing from the Vatican on the television. I was delighted to hear the Pope sending his greetings to the Maltese people in our own language. After lunch we took a nap. We woke up and had a cup of coffee with some Christmas cake. Then we took grandma to her home and she offered us to have dinner with her.

Time flew by quickly and soon it was time to go to bed. I was tired but very happy. Oh how I wish it could be Christmas every day!!!

The Camping Site

One sunny morning in Spring, a scouts group named "The Finders" went for an adventure in the green woods, next to the long lake.

After an hour of travelling on the yellow, comfortable school bus, the arrived in the woods full of tall, green trees. With them they brought an expensive photo camera, a red torch, fiver yellow tents , a brown teddy bear, a long fishing rod and a pair of black binoculars. First the children fixed the yellow tents and after they went fishing in the shallow river to catch some fish. For dinner they cooked a fresh salmon on the fire and for dessert they had roasted marshmallows sticks dipped in chocolate. During the cold night, they slept cosy in the tents. The next day the children organised a treasure hunt. They tried to find the gold treasure full of silver jewels and many coins. Group A won the game, the winners won a new, modern bicycle each. After the treasure hunt, the group ate some packed lunches and drank fresh orange juice. "The Finders" left the woods on Sunday afternoon and arrived back home in the evening. 

The group passed a nice weekend together and had fun playing and learning with each other.

Fluffy and Cloudy

It was my ninth birthday. My parents gave me a small box. I was afraid to open it because it was moving. When I finally opened it, I was a bunny as white as snow. It looked like a ball of wool so I decided to name it Fluffy and sometimes I call it Fluf in short for Fluffy. When I found out it was a female, I thought of an idea to buy her a pink bow.

The day after my birthday, my mum and I went to the pet shop and bought a cage and a water bottle. We also bought her some dried food. When we arrived home, we made her in a cage and put her food and I was made sure that the water bottle was full of water.

Fluffy likes to eat lettuce, but it does not like to eat carrots a lot. Most of all she enjoys munching and crunching the dried Maltese bread.Twice a week I clean its cage and change its water.

I always play with her every day after I finish my homework and she loves to run around the house and hides behind the furniture. Once she hid in a place where I could not find her. I spent over fifteen minutes looking for her.

Every Sunday when I visit my grandparents, I take Fluffy with me. During the trip she stays cosy on my lap. She is always frightened when Fluffy hears Tiny, grandma's dog barking.

Last year I took Fluffy to school for the Pet's week. She was afraid from all the noises that the children were making.

One day I noticed that Fluffy was a little bit sad so I asked my mum if I could buy another bunny with my own money so that she could have someone to play with. The next day we went to the pet store. My mum went to buy the dried food while I went to see the bunnies. I saw different ones and I could not choose but then I saw a cute grey bunny in the corner. It was a male bunny so I bought it. I decided to name him Cloudy because it was as grey as a cloud.

When I took him home I put him in the cage with Fluffy. She was happy with Cloudy and they play together a lot. I wish that one day, they will have a baby bunny!
