7. Me at my Baptism My happy memory!!! My Baptism My baptism was the best day of my life, with all of my relatives & friends, yummy food, beautiful talks & songs. I was baptised on the 13 th April 2008, at Huntingdon chapel in U.K, by my dad, Peter Skoludek. The speakers were my uncle Laurence, who is my mother’s youngest brother & my mum herself. She spoke about baptism, she prepared a baptism bag for me to keep which included a white towel, a poem, a light to remind me of righteousness & many other symbolic objects. My relatives came up from Wales which is four hours away. It was great to have my baby cousin stay with me. Our dear friend Emma sang a song about Stars as my name, Seren is the Welsh word for star. Unfortunately she had lost her voice so she sang a bit squeaky. I was glad this was the worst thing to happen though for when my brother got baptised he froze as the heating had broken down, so I was very lucky because my water was nice & warm!!! After I was baptised I got baptised I confirmed to the church and had welcoming talks from the bishopric & primary. Finally we had one of the best bits, food. We had a huge cake, muffins, chips, fruit, sandwiches & pizza. I had a great time during my baptism & I’m having a superb time being a member of the church!!!!

8. My sad memory The death of my granddad The saddest day of my life was when I found out that my granddad was dead. I loved my granddad, so (like any of you) I was really sad. My granddad died from leukaemia cancer that he had for about 1 year, before he died. It was really hard because if any of us had a cough, headache, sore throat or any other sickness we couldn’t see him, so me and Jonah only saw him once in the whole time. When he was alive, he was really fun to be with. He would take us on walks and he could name any animal or plant that we saw. he would tell us amazing stories from when he was little. He was the funniest person ever! When I found out that he was dead I was so sad, but the saddest was my mum because he was her dad. a few days later we went to Wales for the funeral. I had never been to a funeral so I had no idea what was going on, but figured it out. It was a special time to say goodbye, everybody loved him so much there were about 700 people there. I miss my granddad and I wish he was still with us.
