Wow, Mega Zone is a great place!

During the sunny holiday, I went to Mega Zone with my cousins from Australia. Their names are Joshua, Lily, Jasmine and Sam. My loving brother went with us too.

First we had to team with someone. I was partnered up with Lily and my brother was partnered up with Joshua. Sam paired up with Jasmine. I was in the green team. Joshua was on the red team and Jasmine was on the yellow team. There was a blue team that had a little boy and an adult that  played against our teams.

We put on our ugly vests and picked up our colourful guns and went into the arena. We had to hide. Where we hid become our base. Our base station was shaped like a scary square machine. It was green because that was our colour. The other team tried to shoot it because it wasn't theirs and there were also bonus points.

Soon it was time for the game to start. We shot at the other teams and the hardest team to shoot at was the red team (my brother and Joshua's team). We cleverly crashed their party by shooting both of them and shot their base station. The yellow team shot us from behind so we chased them down like a greyhound but they kept running away so we went for the blue team instead. We shot them but they stood victorious in the end. They won! After that we went home.

I had a wonderful time with my cousins from Australia. Next time I hope that my helpful mum and caring dad could come with us so we could all have yummy lunch together afterwards.

Learning intention: We are learning to use descriptive language in our writing. 
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I use appropriate adjectives to describe my weekend.

Have you ever had a sausage sizzle before?

On the 1st of October, my family and I went to the new Countdown in Mangere because we were fundraising for a G.K.R karate tournament. My team and I are going to Melbourne for a awesome karate tournament.

When we got there we started the barbeque straight away. When the barbeque was hot enough we put the sausages on top to cook.

When the sausages were all cooked, some people came to buy some our fantastic sausages.

All of a sudden a lot more people came and it was hard because there were a lot of people waiting to buy some of our lovely sausages.

After that, my dad brought us all some yummy sausages because we were all very hungry.

After we all finished eating our beautiful sausages, we went back to selling more of our awesome sausages. Some people came to us wanting to buy four of our delicious sausages. It was so  difficult because while we were selling the cool sausages, we had to work very quickly and this made some of us clumsy. After we sold all the sausages, we packed away everything.

Maybe next time we could stay afterwards and we could check out the inside of the new Countdown.  

We are learning to understand and use descriptive language in my recount.

I know I can do this when I use appropriate adjectives to describe my holiday.
