Greats and Grands Poem Sweet Poem

Hi bloggers!
Tomorrow is Greats and Grands day at Ohaeawai School and we have all been busy preparing!
We each had to write a piece of writing about our grandparents.
I really hope you like mine!
We also had to write an explanation about a problem that grandparents could have, and we had to write three ways to fix it. I will attach that at the bottom of the page.



And here is my explanation

How Grandparents can find a way to spend more time with their grandchildren.

A grandparent is a person who had children and those children had children of their own (Which are called grandchildren), and sometimes those children have MORE children making the grandparent a great grandparent. Too many people these days. A lot of grandparents live very far away from their grandchildren, so many kids on earth who love their grandparents very much, barely ever see grandma and grandpa. And you thought it was that I was avoiding you because you’re boring and have wrinkles? Nah, don’t worry, I think my grandparents are very interesting, and I bet so do YOUR grandkids. And wrinkles are like sprinkles. I am now going to give you three ways to help your problem of not living close to your grandkids.

The first thing you can do is the money jar thing. You know, when you get money and have two jars. Split the money in half. (I don’t mean actually get an axe to chop the money in half!) Get half the money plop it into one jar that is labeled “Savings for flights/bus” And put the rest in the other jar. Save up enough money to get your grandchild a flight from Fiji to New Zealand. Or you could get a bus. Done. Simple.

Ok, first idea a little bit slack. Lets go more extreme! Move houses to a house way closer to your grandchild! Too extreme? Hey it was just a thought!

So lets try get to the BEST idea yet. And sadly, no, none of my ideas include rocket launchers, but how about something even better? Let’s say grandma and grandpa live in Auckland and I live in Kerikeri. Whangarei would be about half way between. So it is way less far as driving all the way to Auckland. Get a small holiday house there! Every holiday, and possibly even weekend, you could organise a time to drive to your holiday house, which is half as long as driving all the way to Auckland from Kerikeri. YAY!

Now there you go folks. 3 ways to spend more time with your grandkids. And remember, your  grandchildren will never say no to an opportunity to visit their grandparents.
