I have just had my half term holiday. My favourite thing in half term was our visit to Makasutu. Makasutu is a safari park (mummy says a forest park). They had a pet dog there called Yassa. Yassa and I played a lot together. There were also cats that we fed at lunchtime. We went on a boat trip at Makasutu (as it is a mangrove forest on the banks of the river Gambia). The boat was a hollowed out tree trunk, but it wobbled a lot and I didn’t like it. We saw mud skippers, which were like little tadpoles that shot away into the mud, and lots of crabs at low tide. There were also lots of baboons. They were big, but not scary and had lots of babies with them riding on their backs.
Half term was a good week as I went swimming a lot with my friend Tiguara from school. Tiguara’s dad is from Brazil and her name means bird of the water. It is a good name for her as she is very good at swimming. My mum even took me to have my nails painted, but the pink colour came off as I went swimming straight afterwards.
We are planning a big Halloween party this Friday at my school. My mum and I are helping with some of the stalls – the slime one is going to be the best: you have to put your hand in slime and pull out a scary prize! I am very excited about Halloween and have been making a skeleton costume with my dad. My sister is going to dress up as a pumpkin.
