Recount Writing-At the Pools

WALT add details and interesting words to help our readers enjoy our writing.

At the pools   

On Saturday I went to the pools in Whangarei with my whole family.

When we got there I got into my swimming togs.

Next we went into the pools. It was cold as ice. I did a bomb and my brother Josh gave me a fright when I came up out of the pool. He tried to jump on me but missed me and he splashed me all over with water. He laughed at me.

I laughed too. I had great fun.

After that it was lunch time. We had egg sandwiches. It was yum and then we had a drink.

After lunch we went in the spa pool at the Whangarei pools. It was warm. Me and my three brothers and my mum and dad got hot. Then we went into the cold pool for 10 minutes. Later on my dad said it was home time.

Then we had a shower and my mum changed baby Kaharau’s nappy. She put baby Kaharau in the shower with my dad. All of us jumped out of the shower and then my mum had a shower. Kaharau was hungry so my mum jumped out of the shower and gave Kaharau a kai.

That was the end of our amazing day at the Whangarei wave pools. We were all tired but we enjoyed our day.

Recount Writing - At the Tangi

WALT add more information to help our readers to understand our writing.

At the tangi

Yesterday me and my whole family had a tangi in Kaeo for my Aunty Tristen. It was sad because she died.  

We buried Aunty Tristen in a grave.To get to the place where we buried her we had to walk up a big as hill. Then we walked down the hill and then we were there. What a long walk. We buried my aunty in the grave. I walked around to put some dirt in the grave. It was sad.

Then we went back to have lunch. It was yum and I was hungry after my big long walk. Later on me and my two brothers Josh and Jamian played rugby. We played against our Kaeo cousins. They were easy. It was three on four. We won. It was fun.

After dinner me, my three brothers and my mum and dad and nana and papa went to Takou Bay.

Recount Writing-Adventure Forest

I am learning to write about an exciting moment of my holiday.

At Adventure Forest

On Friday I went to Adventure Forest in Whangarei with my three brothers and my dad and my mum.

At Adventure Forest there are lots of trees with stuff hanging on to the trees. There are heaps of flying foxes and other rides and challenges.

First I went on the Maki Maki challenge.

I  went on the  flying fox. It was as fast as lightning. It was amazing. My two  brothers and my dad went on canopy. My mum was watching me going down the flying fox. The highest ride that I could go on was in Discovery. It was a swing rope with wood that you could sit on. I was a little bit afraid because I had to jump on it straight away. It felt like you were going to fall off because it was high up off the ground. I was saying to Mum to come up but she couldn’t because Kaharau was hungry.

Me and my brother Josh had a race on the flying fox. We came a tie.

It was amazing at Adventure Forest because there were so many different things to do. I felt happy there with my family.  

Recount Writing-Playing Rugby in Okaihau.

I am learning to add detail in my writing.

04/04/17

On Saturday morning my team Tautoro Titans and I played rugby in Okaihau. First we got warmed up.

Next we had a bit of play against each other. Then we played against Okaihau. It was super because I liked the tackling.

After that we played against Kerikeri. We had a bit of a game then it was half time. Later we went back on the field. I was sweating because I was trying my best and running fast. It was a hard game because they were fast. Finally I went off side because I was tired.

I like playing tackle rugby better than rippa rugby because you get to tackle. I like tackling.
