“Caught Being Good Dad”

Dear Mrs Baker

Hi my name is Joseph, I'm 12 years old and I am in Room 8.

I think my dad should get the “Caught Being Good Dad”  award  because he has been my mum and my dad  for many years.  My dad's name is Mike Peters and he is 45 years old.He is unemployed and he gets paid to look after my brother and I.He is a brilliant cook and we always have food on the table.He has looked after us when we were sick and helps us with everything we do.  

He is a slim, medium built man and is a loving father.He has black hair but has a lot of grey.He has brown eyes and has a dented nose because it has been broken before.My dad has a tough job because he has to do all of the jobs a mother does. He used to read us stories every night and put us to bed with one of his caring songs and we loved it.He devoted his life to us and  we are are so grateful for all he has done. He is a generous man and does all of the house work.
Dad  trained my rugby team when I was 7yrs old  and did a great job.He has given me life skills as I grew older like  treat women right and to look after my little brother.He was there on my first day of school and helped me to start a good year at school.We did training in the morning that my dad set up,we had all the fitness gear and it was fun.He wanted to be a better dad than his dad who had told him everything he touches turns to poo and he achieved his goal.He has worked tirelessly all my life to give me a better future and I am grateful for my dad.

Please consider him because he deserves it.He has been an  astonishing father all my life and I would like to give him something back.

Pursuit of Excellence

My Pursuit of Excellence was to make the perfect cake.
 It was Friday morning and we were at the cake shop and I was bewildered,me and my dad were buying a cake for my brother's birthday but then I thought lets make a cake.

My dad and I started looking for a recipe for a chocolate cake because it was my brother's favorite cake.When we had found a recipe we went to go and buy all of the ingredients we needed for the cake.Then  we went back home to make  the cake.When we had got home it was a disaster because we had forgotten the milk and baking powder so it was back to the shop.

When we finally had all of the ingredients and started making the cake we made a big mess and had to start again because we spilt the mix and it went all over the place.Now we only had enough ingredients to make one more cake so we had to do it perfectly.We started to make the cake again and this time we did much better.The cake mix was perfect and we were really happy that we had made the mix and as we put it in the oven we had giant smiles on our face.

When the cake was done it looked great and when my brother saw it he was really exited and he loved it.
