This week we've been working on recounts about something we've done recently. We've been working on similes can you spot any in my recount?
My fantastic day
“Yay” I yelled with excitement. We were on our way to hockey. “I can’t wait for the game to start!”, I continued shouting with excitement. “And also gran and grandad will watch me play and see who will win!”, I mumbled under my breath. We quickly warmed up while we’re waiting for the other players in our team. Suddenly Olivia, our coach for the day, told all of us to go in the hockey turf area. Olivia let us choose a position for the game so that we’re happy there, and also because we’re good in that position, I chose the back position because I’m really good there. The game started and I raced to my position like a jaguar. A few minutes later Braeden and Toby came to the hockey turf, they were a bit late but Olivia sorted it out. An hour later... we finished our game then Olivia had to choose the player of the day which, Max won. After the game I went to get chips because I got a bit hungry- we played for an hour from 12pm to 1pm. It was a big game! We won our game 3 nil to us.
Next we had Willow coming to our house for the afternoon. We played with Poppy, my dog, then we went on the bikes. We happily went off up to my gran and grandad’s house to have a chat with them and see the cat. Then we had a bit of a bike around then went down an extremely fun, steep hill- it was magnificent! It led down to my hay barn so we played there and were swinging on a very old rope swing. We then went back home to have some sausage rolls, they were scrumptious! We had a bike around for a bit longer on their court, and then we said our goodbyes.
Then we went on my Chromebook and played games. We had dinner then we got in the car to go to the circus.
We went on our way to Kerikeri with Willow and there it was- the giant circus tent. Then we went inside to give the people at the entrance our tickets. We went right inside of the tent then sat down on our seats. Willow and I were just talking and looking around the exciting humungous tent and waiting for the show to start. A toy caught my eye, it looked like a spinning wind mill but a teeny tiny version. I really wanted it- I was beginning to become something like a greedy cat! The circus started, we watched the acts that the people had to show for the audience. They were hard but super duper cool and kind of impossible! I was happily watching while I was eating lollies with Willow. Then we watched the last act, and they showed all of the people that did an act again and “Thank you everyone for coming to watch our circus! And this is our last night here in Kerikeri so, we hope you enjoyed it!” All of the audience hopped out of their seats and got their things then went home. “Goodbye!” we all shouted. We got in the car then went back home, I fell asleep halfway there but I then woke up once we got to our welcoming destination. Once I got inside of the house. I whispered to myself “today was extremely fun!”. I slowly closed my eyelids and fell asleep like a sloth.
