My Granddad

In the holidays my family and I had a sad time.  One day my granddad had a bad fall.  My mum called the doctor, but granddad passed away. 

Later the hearse came to take Granddad to the Marae.  After that all of our family and friends came to the Marae.  At the Marae we had the Tangi to say our final goodbyes to Granddad.  I love you Ganddad, and happy birthday.

In The Holidays

In the holidays I played with my brother and sister. We saw my cousins, my aunty and my uncle.  They came to visit us. When they arrived I said hi to my cousins. Then they said hi back to me. Next I   got the soccer ball. Then my brothers and sisters and I played soccer with my cousin. While we played soccer my parents talked with my uncle and aunty.  Later it was time to eat so I went and told all of the adults to come and eat.  Then they all came inside to eat and my aunty said that we needed to wash our hands first.  Before we ate we said our prayer and then we ate our food.

After lunch we went to the the large room and watched cartoons on TV. My cousins and I felt very tired so we went inside my room and had a sleep. My holiday was a lot of fun.

My Holiday Recount!!! ☺

On my holiday I was very busy.  Firstly I helped my mum to plant the plantations, and secondly I went and picked up the rubbish. Thirdly I washed the bathtub and fourthly I cleaned up my room and vacuumed it.

When I had finished helping my mum I went inside my room and played on the playstation with my little brother.  My little brother’s name is Alex. Finally we ended up tired, and my little brother Alex won the racing car game.

Later my mum called us to come and eat lunch.  Alex and I went and ate lunch and the lunch was so delicious and tasty.

I Have So Much Fun On My Holiday.

My Weekend With My Friend Fiona.

I had so much fun on the weekend. My friend, Fiona, came over to play with me. We went to my backyard to play watertight.  My friend was happy because I was kind to her.

After that we went and changed our clothes and put them inside the washing machine.  Then my mum came and turned the machine on to do the washing.

Next my friend and I went and ate our lunch.  After that Fiona’s mum came and picked her up.  Before she went home Fiona said to me that I'm such a lovely and caring friend. 

On the weekend I had so much fun with friend Fiona.

InThe Holidays

In the holidays I went on a picnic. I went with my mum, my dad and my big sister.  My big sister’s name is Christine.  We went to Point England Park for our picnic.

First, when we got to the park, we ate our food and we had cupcakes.  My mum made our cupcakes. They tasted minty.  I liked them very much.

After we had eaten my big sister and I went to play at the playground.  I played on the big slide and then my big sister took me to the swing.  My sister pushed me on the swing. I went up high.

Later we went back to mum and dad to have a drink of orange Fanta.  Then my sister and I went to the car to get my teddy bear.  Next we went back to the playground.  After we had played for a while we had to go home.  I had lots of fun at our picnic.

At Rainbows End

During the holidays my family and I went to Rainbows End to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. His name is Giovanni.  He is at the same school as me, but he is older.  Giovanni is in Year 8. 

My auntie, and all of her family, came to pick up my family and I to take us to Rainbows End.  But when she arrived my family and I were still dressing.  My auntie waited for us to finish dressing. 

First, after we had gotten into my auntie’s car, we put on our seat belts.  Then my auntie drove us to Rainbows End.

When we got to Rainbows End I went to get the tickets.

The first thing I went on was the Racing Cars.  When I pressed the red key, and then the car went.  My sister and I raced each other and I beat her.  Everyone watching us knew that I was being a good driver. 

Next we went to the lady who had given us our tickets.  We said goodbye to her and we wished her a good holiday.  Then she said to me that I was good at driving.  I said, “Thank you”.  Then she gave me a necklace.  It sparkled like diamonds. 

After that we were both tired so we went to have a little rest.  Then it was time to go home.  We all had a happy family day having fun at Rainbows End.

To Sylvia Park

During the holidays my mum and I went to Sylvia Park.  First we went to the movies and bought our tickets so that we could watch a movie later on.

After that we went to the mini golf place.  It is outside.  It has a fence, but it does not have any windows to the outside or a roof.  We got our golf sticks and our balls from the lady.

Then we played mini golf together.    We had to shoot the ball over the water and I got it in the window.   Then it was mum’s turn.  Mum hit her ball and it landed in the water.  Then I got it in the hole.  It was fun for my mum and I.

After we had finished playing mini golf we went to the bouncy thing.  I jumped really high on the bouncy thing.  Mum tried to get me to do a back flip.  I tried but I couldn’t do it that time.  It was cool as.

Next we went to the movies.  We watched Pan.  Pan is cool.  Blackbeard is cool.  Pan could fly.  Blackbeard said, “Look at Pan”.  Pan flew and landed safely.  When he woke up he was in Blackbeard’s ship.  Peter Pan was the special one.  Blackbeard said, “Do you want some chocolate”.  Pan said, “Yes”.  It was an exciting movie.  Mum and I liked it.
