I'm so wet!

On a sunny, Sunday afternoon my family, friends and I went to the swimming pool because it was my friend’s brother’s birthday.

It was a small pool and it was indoors. Everyone got changed and went into the cold pool first. Some people took out aqua equipment like huge beach balls and swimming boards. My friend and I got a beach ball went played volleyball in the pool. It was hard to get the ball because the water slowed us down.

Then we had something to eat. I had some tasty spaghetti, warm pizza, juice and a few gummy cokes. We ate the food and then we dived back into the pool.

My friend and I hopped on a big swimming board and floated around the pool. Soon the board started to sink so we jumped off it and made a huge splash. We jumped back on, but there were too many people so it was hard to get back on.

Soon our parents called us because it was time to go home. We had a quick shower and got changed.

My favourite part of the birthday was playing volleyball in the water.

We are learning to use descriptive language in my writing.
I know I can do this when I use adjectives to make my writing interesting.

Duffy Assembly

We had a Duffy assembly and our Duffy hero was Tasha! Tasha is a very talented, young woman. She is a very talented singer with a very flexible voice. Her favourite song is Price Tag because it has a meaning about life not being about money. Tasha's favourite singer is Jesse J. She likes to read books and likes to sing. She also appeared on the X factor. Tasha is the best Duffy hero yet because she is really good at both singing and reading.

Now, money grows on trees!

On a dark Saturday evening, my family, friends and I went to my friend, Tristan’s birthday held at my other friend Ace’s house because Tristan’s house is too small for a party.

When we got there, we said, “Happy Birthday” to Tristan. There was not many things for us to do but to play on our ipads, phones and tablets so I asked my sister for her phone. I played a game called money tree. The main goal is to tap the tree on the screen  so that the money will fall.

Before long, I got bored of the game so I watched some youtube videos. I watched Dance Central three game play so I could get used to the dances. I watched about 20 different dances.

After a few minutes, it was time to eat. I ate some chicken, spaghetti and rice. I was full after eating. It was very delicious.

Soon, after I finished eating, Tristan and I decided to watch what was on television. We watched karate kid. It is about a kid who tries to win a karate tournament.

When the movie finished, we had to go. We walked home because our house is close by. Next time we go to a party I hope there are more games because it was slightly boring. Maybe we could play some outdoor activity next time if someone has a ball.

Ow! My tooth hurts!

One a sunny Monday morning, my mum and I went to the Dentist in Pt.England for my tooth extraction.

Before we went, I had some breakfast. I had some scrumptious spaghetti. After that I got changed and my mum and I went to the Panmure shops to catch the bus.

Soon, we hopped off at the closest bus stop and we went to the Pt.England Dentist, which is just next to Pt.England School. we waited nearly a whole hour before the dentist called us in. I was a bit scared.

First, the dentist numbed my tooth with anesthetic so my tooth wouldn’t hurt when it gets removed. It took a while before my mouth was numb. Then it was extraction time, the dentist got out a tool and wriggled the tooth out. It hurt just a bit.

After the dentist appointment, the dentist gave us the tooth in a tissue because the tooth was bleeding. We went home in the bus. Whenever I eat now, the place where the tooth used to be feels a bit weird because I use that tooth mostly for biting my food and now it's not there.

Attack, cats!

On a cold Saturday Evening, my friends, family and I went to my friend’s house because it was his birthday.

When we got there, I went upstairs and played with my friends. We played on tone of my friend’s ipad. We played a game called Battle Cats, It was a really fun game. The game was about the cats (you) are trying to take over the world. We beat a lot of countries and the hardest country we beat was Japan because their boss was really strong.

Soon we had to eat. There was lots of different, tasty food to choose from. I ate a few nuggets and some rice. I was full after eating that.

Later my friends and I played hide n seek in the dark. The room was so dark, I couldn’t see a thing! My hiding spot I mostly hid in was the corner of the room because I wasn’t found when I hid there.

After a few rounds of hiding, We went downstairs to watch my friend open the presents. The funniest present he got was from his brothers because they gave him some crackers! It was funny but he still ate it. He got cool presents like Teenage mutant ninja turtle toys, they were small and plastic. He also got big, plastic super hero toys, some could move and some could talk!

Next we had to go home. Before we went home, my brother and I got a few blue balloon because blue is one of our favourite colours. When it’s my birthday, I want to receive cool presents like what he got.

I know I can do this when I use appropriate adjectives like cool and small in my writing.
