All About Christians

Being a Christian is to follow the teachings of Jesus (the Christ). These teachings can be found in the New Testament in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, but some just believe that he was a good man.

You can't tell if someone is a Christian unless they tell you because they don't look or sound different to other people.

Lots of Christians go to Christian churches. There they sing and pray and they listen to the vicar or another teacher who tells them what Jesus wants and teaches them how to be better Christians.

Christians can pray just about anywhere, but mostly in churches, graveyards, in their homes and before meals. They pray to thank God for all the good things that he has given them and if they have problems they ask him to help them. Sometimes they ask God to help other people who have problems. They also pray for dead people to keep them safe in heaven.

There are lots of different types of Christian churches. In our area we have the Church of England church, the Methodist church the Baptist church and the Roman Catholic church. There are some unusual Christian churches, for example there is a Christian church in Minehead which believes that ghosts can speak to you and help you with your problems (Minehead Christian Spiritualist Church in Alcombe). Each church has different beliefs, but they are all similar.

Quiet and peaceful things that Christians do are praying and reading the Bible.

Some Christians are active in groups of people who help others because Jesus taught people to care for each other. Others shout about about Jesus in the middle of towns (I saw a man like this in the middle of Taunton).

If there was no Jesus, then there couldn't be any Christians, since they believe that he is the Christ.

Christians use a picture of a cross a lot to show others that they are Christian. They like this picture because Jesus died on a cross. There is an example at the side.

My trip to Disneyland Paris

I went to the Disneyland parks in Paris in France. There are 2 parks, Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios. I went there with my dad, my two older sisters Carla and Collette, my two nephews Lee (11) Reece (4) and Shannon (13).


We stayed in a very big hotel. They had a swimming pool with a slide and a jacuzzi which was really cool. We had 2 rooms. Me, my dad, Orla and Collette slept in one room. Reece, Lee, Shannon and Carla slept in the other room.
When I got to Disneyland I first got something to eat. You could eat anything you wanted in the restaurant and the food was really good. Our dinners were the same, you could eat as much as you wanted and there was lots and lots of things to eat, even desserts. I tried most things except the things which looked yukky. I even tried some of those and they tasted really nice. The Mexican food was my favourite and it wasn't very spicy. Even Orla could eat it.


Disneyland had lots of shops. When I went into the shops they were full of toys, clothes and jewellry. But everything cost a lot of money so I couldn't buy very much. I got a Disneyland hat, but then I lost it.

They had lot's of rides. One of my favourite rides was the Rocking Roller Coaster. It has corkscrews and loop the loop. The best part was the start. You wait for a moment, then a screen comes up and says 3,2,1 and then you set of very, very fast.
Another one of my favourite rides was RunAway Train. It is a fast ride and you go in the dark for some of it. There is also a camera which takes photos on the scary parts. I also went to the Haunted House. It wasn't that scary but I still liked it. My best part about the Haunted House was when we went into a Cowboy village.

In the Walt Disney Studios park, I went in the Hollywood Tower ride. My favourite part was when you fall down. Your get a funny feeling in your tummy like you're going to be sick.

The best show was the stunt car show. It was really cool.


There were racing cars which didn't go very fast, but you got to drive them yourself so they were good fun.


We saw so many things and went on so many rides that it would take me a million years to write evrything about them! But I really want to go back again. Orla and Reece wanted to live there, but that's silly. It was the best place I ever went to in my life!

AJ's Adventure Playground

On Saturday, I went to AJ's with my dad. I met my sisters, my nephews and my nieces there. My older sisters and my dad sat down and had a cup of tea. My little sister Orla and my niece Elisha played together in the little kids' area. I played with my older niece Shannon and my nephews Reece and Lee. We played tig and football.

AJ's is a big indoor adventure playground. It has a football area, different types of slides and air guns that shoot balls. It has also got a café which sells snacks and drinks.

After a couple of hours we went home because we were all tired.
