Recount - Free Choice

Recount

On the Saturday me and my brother had a birthday party in the hall. My mum invited heaps of people. My Grandma invited Aaliyah and she came with Analisa,Telesia, Malia and Krystal came as well.

The next day, Sunday me and my mum woke up late. We woke up and my Grandma rushed through the door with a sack of potatoes she wanted us to peel them. We peeled them until they were all finished, Then my Grandma cut them and it took ages but finally they made it.

Monday was the day my whole family rested. We only woke up to eat, drink or go to the toilet. Then my mum woke me up and she said “Walk down to the hall because there’s practice”. I rushed out the door and went to practice, it was long but not too long. When it had finished I ran home, my mum and dad were watching TV.  I watched TV too and fell asleep. I knew this was the best weekend!

Recount - My free writing choice was a Recount about one special moment from the long weekend. I made sure I had my introduction, middle and end organised into paragraphs.

St Patrick Day Writing

Saint Patrick's Recount using Personal Voice

On Saint Patrick's day we had a mass. I was reading the Prayers of the Faithful with Dereon because his Soul Friend didn’t want do the reading. I guess he might have felt a bit shy. Even though I had done readings before I still felt like I had a pack of butterflies in my stomach. I felt relieved that I had read without mistakes. I still need to learn to slow down when I read.

At the feast/shared lunch I had brought nothing because I forgot . My soul friend, Charis, had also forgotten to bring something so we just ate our morning tea. Annalisa offered me some of her Doritos and Katelyn some of her Shapes but I said no thanks because I was embarrassed. They also offered them to Charis and he ate some.Mrs Deeney walked around handing out small bags of chips from Mrs Middleton. I didn’t mind eating those because I had nothing else and they were from my teacher.

I enjoyed the Mass because I was a reader but I didn’t enjoy the shared lunch because my soul friend didn’t talk to me, he was talking to his friend Gabriel. I also didn’t enjoy it because I had nothing nice to eat.

I learned how to make my writing interesting for my readers by using my personal voice and describing an event from my point of view.

West Waves

West Waves

On a rainy day I was in the sitting room watching television when my uncle walked in he wanted to get my aunt. He saw me and said we are going to the pool’s wanna come. I said yes of course.

First we stopped at Pak'nsave we bought snacks and drinks. When we got there I saw them in the pool they didn’t see me I waved they didn’t wave back. When we got past the receptionist I quickly got changed and jumped straight in.In the pool I was floating. Then I floated to the deep end when.Then all of a sudden I heard a siren I knew that meant waves. I tried to swim I felt like I was going to drown.I went up and down many times then my uncle came in and saved me and put me in the shallow end.

Then I went on the slide with my aunt's Sinivia and Alecia. When I went down and It was dark then light then dark. I nearly drowned AGAIN! I went two times until I lost my wrist band I thought I had it. The man said you have to have a wristband and He kicked me off.

When I got down I got called for lunch. When we got there, there were sandwiches and chicken It was enjoyable. After we eat we went to swim again. I wonder If my uncle never came to my house would've I went to the pool’s?
