School Picnic

YES!”, I shouted as I got the news that our school picnic was on. Over 600 kids(including me) got to the reserve, all talking to each other about what they had planned for the day. I personally thought it was crazy, but cool, that our principal organized this!

When my friends and I went to the beach, I was tempted to play in the water. I finally remembered, we were allowed to paddle(paddling is when you put your feet in the water, but it is only allowed to be up to knee height). While paddling, I spotted the big rocks of clay.

Running to the chunks of clay, I slipped and cut my foot. Struggling to get up with my bloody foot, I broke a piece clay off the rock and skipped on to the water. As the clay softened, I molded it into a circle and stuck shells into them.

This years picnic was really fun because I got to spend more time with my friends, plus I kinda haven’t been to a beach in a while!

Introductions to Hook in My Audience

I am learning to write an introduction that hooks in my audience.Here are 3 versions .
Which do you like the best and why ?

1. I knew that me as a kid needs 9 to 10 hours of sleep. So I go to bed extremely early.Then Monday morning comes around, and I'm not tired at all.

2. 40 out of 52 Mondays I struggle to get up for school . I Imagine waking up for 52 Mondays every year , I would probably faint. Monday mornings just kill my beauty sleep.

3. Monday Mornings are so hard to get up because you feel so tired after your weekends, especially when you've just had your friends over. I have to get out of bed though, and get changed for school.

I like wearing uniform
But I don’t like going school .
I like my bed messing
But I don’t like sleeping.
I like the colour red
But I dont’t like black.
I like the little mountain
But I don’t like the high bit.

Summer Holidays


“It’s the holidays now, let’s go to the Beach.” In the holidays my Aunt and step Mum thought it was a great to take me, my three sisters and two cousins to the beach, everyone got really excited.Before we went to the beach we had to pack our swimming togs and food. We were ready to go to the beach.

When we got to the beach me, my sisters and my cousins ran in to the water and started swimming, the water was freezing cold but then it got warmer.


When we got back home everyone went straight to sleep.

Going To The Pools

In the holidays I went to the pools. When I was packing my bag for the pools. I was hoping some of my friends was at the pool. When I got there I saw one of my friends that was Howard.


Then I said to him I go and get ready and hoped in. After that I started to think is a other friend of mine is coming. After a few minutes Antonio came with his big brother.


When he came in we started to have fun. Next we had an stack. Then we played for a copley of hours then walked home.

I felt happy because I had fun.
