Fun time with friends

 There I was with my feet in the scorching sand. My best friend and I went to the beach to relax and have fun. We quickly put our togs on and rushed to the beautiful ocean.

 We both jumped in the air like kangaroos and splashed right into the water. As we were in the water we saw lots of baby muscles. We both picked one up and opened it up. We munched it all up and carried on swimming. Afterwards I climbed up a big mountain. I counted to 3 and there I was in mid air waiting to see what was gonna happen next. I tucked in my legs and SPLASH! , I dived in the cold ocean really deep.

 Next, my friends and I went to have some delicious food to eat. All our stomachs were so empty, we rushed like wild animals to the food basket and almost the whole thing. We sat down on the itchy grass and rested for a little while. We were so full we couldn’t even stand up. A few moments later we went tree climbing. I used my 2 strong legs and pumped it all the way to the top of the tree. I saw a magnificent view of the beach, but mostly saw lots of boats drifting.

 Finally, we all packed and got ready to leave. This was a really relaxing and fun day and I can't wait to come back with more fun ideas to do next time.

First Time on a Ferry

There I was standing on the solid floor with my dad and my brothers. We were really excited because we all were going on a ferry to Waiheke for my brothers and I’s rugby game against Waiheke United . My brothers and I were one hundred percent thrilled because it was our very first time on a ferry.

Firstly, we went to a food bar in the ferry which had many delicious treats like ice blocks, ice-cream, candy and chocolate. We bought 4 ice-creams and 1 chocolate bar for each of us. As soon as we sat down, we straight away dumped all our food in our mouth and went to do something else that was way more fun.

Secondly, my brothers and my dad I went all the way to the top of the ferry. I flashed straight away to the top of the ferry and saw the greatest view that I’ve ever seen. I saw white clouds, huge mountains, the bright sun and the phenomenal ocean waving straight at me. As I was looking at the view , suddenly one of my brothers slapped me hard and said “TAG”.  I chased him feeling so furious and finally I caught him and gave him a massive slap on his back. It was so much fun hanging on top of the ferry.

Finally, the ferry stopped at Waiheke Island. My family and I got off the ferry with a face happier than puppies and rainbows. We had so much going on our first time on a ferry and I can’t wait to comeback with a lot of fun things to do on my second time on a ferry. 

My Greatest Accomplishment

There I was waiting outside in my backyard. I was getting ready to do something I’ve never done before. I was feeling so petrified and thrilled at the same time.

Firstly, I did some exercising. I went for a dash around my house thirty times and finished off  with twenty push- ups.  After exercising,  I knew I was a hundred percent ready to do my crazy stunt.

A few minutes later I quickly climbed up my tall fence and counted to ten. While I  was counting to ten,  I spotted my brother cheering me on. He was a bit nervous but still he was as excited as me. On the count of ten, I jumped off the fence so high up into the air and back flipped waiting to see where I was going to land. Suddenly I bounced off my trampoline landing on my feet.

I was so relieved that I didn’t end up breaking my head. As soon as my feet touched the  trampoline,  I  felt very shocked and I couldn’t believe that I landed on both of my feet.  I felt  so  sick , it almost looked like I was going to puke.

Finally, I went inside feeling very cheerful.  Telling my whole family what an unbelievable stunt I had done outside was very exciting. This was my greatest accomplishment that I’ll never forget.  My brother was equally happy for me because he is my hero.

   

Fun time with family at Rainbows End

 I was feeling very excited as my family and I entered Rainbows End. We were super hyped to try some of the most terrifying rides we’ve ever been on.

 Firstly my brothers and I went on the Gold Rush. Inside the Gold Rush was so dark I couldn't see anything. The ride started and on we went flashing through the tunnels going side to side and up and down. We went all the way up and saw a beautiful view of New Zealand.

 After going on the Gold Rush my dad and I decided to go on the Roller Coaster. I was feeling a lot of chill’s because I heard scared people screaming from a far distance. As my dad and I hopped on the ride our stomachs started rumbling. It was like we had a large number of butterflies flapping around in our belly’s. The ride started moving and so it went speeding everywhere.

 When the ride was over my dad and I hopped out of the Roller Coaster with a face like we were going to puke. Later on we went to the cafe to get something to eat. My family and I bought just frozen ice-cream and a huge chocolate doughnut. 

We all munched up our delicious food and got ready to leave. I had a blast hanging out with my family and I felt very joyful going to Rainbows End.

 

My Brothers Birthday

 It was a very exciting day for my 4 year old brother. It was his birthday and he was turning 5 years old. I was super hyped to do a lot of fun things with my little brother on his special birthday.

 Firstly, my parents took us to the park. We both hopped out of the car and rushed straight to the slide. My brother and I went to the top and we counted to 3. On the count of 3 we both sled rapidly down the slide and landed on the ground. It was so painful but it was still a lot of fun.

 After going to the park we decided to go to the Toy Store. This was a place that my little brother has always wanted to come too. He was feeling a hundred percent happy and was ready to have a good time. We went for a walk around the store to find some toys for my little brother to play with. A few moments later we had a whole box of toys waiting in the trolley. I quickly put my brother in the trolley and off we went flashing through the exit door.

 Thirdly, we travelled to McDonalds to get something to eat. We ordered a lot of food because our stomachs were dying of hunger. As soon as we got our food, we straight away munched up all of it like we were vicious animals.

 Finally, we finished my brothers birthday with a prayer. I felt very cheerful hanging out with my little brother on his own birthday.

 

My Phenomenal Effort

 My legs were as wobbly as spaghetti as my school and I entered the athletics cluster. At my athletics at school, I only came 1st in 100 metre sprint. I felt very nervous and delighted at the same time because I saw many schools competing.

 First, I began to exercise. I went for 10 laps around the field and did some basic exercises like 10 star jumps, 15 push-ups and 20 burpees. Afterwards I ran as quick as I could to the starting line because I just heard that my race was about to start.

 I saw the opponents I was up against and they looked really fierce. In my head I absolutely knew for sure that I could beat them at anytime . Almost as the race was going to start, I felt a lot of butterflies in my stomach. My hands were as cold as ice and my skin was itchy than Poison Ivy.

The race started and on I went pumping my 2 skinny legs with all my strength. My school was screaming like babies and the crowd was going wild. I was so close to the finish line, I leaped into the air like a bunny and past the finish line feeling very relieved happy that the race was over.

 I was so tired, my forehead was full of sweat and my legs were looking like it was dead. As soon as I hit the floor , my beautiful mum charged straight at me and gave me a long hug and a huge kiss on my 2 chubby cheeks. She was really proud of me for placing in 1st and for trying my best.

 Coming 1st in the athletic cluster is something that I’ve never done in my life. I felt super joyful. This day was certainly exhausting but I felt one million percent happy competing in athletics cluster.
