A boy 5 years old Bobby Tufts has been the mayor in a small town in Minnesota. Bobby was only 3 years old when he was first became a Mayor of a town in Dorset in 2013.

Farewell Party

On Friday night in Whangarei my aunty prepared a farewell party for me. We had it because I had to go back to Auckland the next day. We had pizza, KFC and stuffing, fizzy drinks and for dessert we had Ice - cream, Chocolate ice - cream cake, mud cake and lollies. After the big feed we watched a movie called ‘Blood The Last Vampire.’

I had been staying at my aunty’s for a week and 4 days. She gave me $40 for an early birthday present. I spent it on shoes and phone credit.

Electricity Is Important

   Electricity is important because we would be having cold showers without it and I don’t like cold showers. We use electricity to cook food and to wash our clothes as well. If we had no electricity the food in the fridge will go off and rot too. We also need electricity to have our lights on and see at night. Our phones need charging too. When birds sit on a power line they don’t get shocked because they are not touching the ground. Most People get power cuts because of the bad weather. I just wish power companies fixed the power cuts faster.
