What did you do last weekend?

I had lunch Saturday with a mother friend who was the mother of my daughter's classmate when my daughter went to preschool.
She and her family had moved to Miyakejima island, but moved back to Tokyo at the end of March this year when her son entered junior high school.

I had lunch on Saturday with a    friend who was the mother of my daughter's classmate when my daughter went to preschool.
She and her family had moved to Miyakejima Island, but moved back to Tokyo at the end of March this year when her son entered junior high school.

1. Although sometimes omitted in casual North American English, 'on' is needed to refer to 'day'.
2. Repetition.
3. You need capital letters for the first letter of the important words in a title, official name etc.
Catching up with a friend after so long must have been nice! What did you talk about during lunch? How has your friend's life changed since moving back to Tokyo from Miyakejima Island?

My friend's child and I entered junior high school this April, so we talked about our hopes and fears for our new lives that had just begun.

自然な表現

My friend's child and mine entered junior high school this April, so we talked about our hopes and fears for our new lives that had just begun.

1. Refers to your child, not you.
Sharing those anxieties and hopes with your friend must have been comforting! What specific concerns or aspirations did you and your friend's child share about starting junior high school?

My daughter is a little worried that her studies will become more difficult after entering junior high school.
She is also still unsure about her choice of club activities.
I don't care what she chooses, but I want her to have a fulfilling student life.

1, 2. Same paragraph.
3. 'Care' is not wrong, but - as a mother - sounds too dismissive here, suggesting you might not support her.
