Splish, splash, splish, splash!

On a hot sunny day, my family and I went to the pools to have some family time together.

Once we arrived there my brother and I raced to the automatic door and we were like cheetahs chasing their meal. Once my dad paid for our fee I quickly changed as quick as a click of a button and jumped into the pool.

Then all of a sudden I heard someone call out my name, I looked up and saw that it was Yssabelle, We were so surprised to see each other. However, soon they had to go because her friend was getting cold.

After that, I went back to play with my two brothers so that I won’t get bored swimming alone. When I saw my brother Ezekiel playing in the water and trying to swim with my uncle holding him, I was really surprised because it was his first time swimming. I jumped into the pool and swam really fast to my brothers.

While I was playing with my brother Eldrich. Ezekiel Splashed water on my face and it was really funny because some of the water splashed on his face as well and he made a cute smile with his eyes. After that, Eldrich suggested that we play tag so I said, “Yes!”

Once the game started, I quickly ran to the furthest corner and hid under the water from my dad and my brother. I heard footsteps coming toward me and it was my dad, he quickly tagged me. So I quickly jiggled up and got ready to tag my dad back by practising my freestyle arms. When it was time to tag them I quietly snuck up to them and tagged my dad without him noticing me. Then I went in front of him and I said, “Haha you lose. ”After that, we had to go because we had to pick my mum up from work.

I had an extraordinary time with my family because I don’t get to play with them that often Next time, I hope my mum comes and swims with us as well.

We are learning to use understand descriptive language.
I know I can do this when I use appropriate verbs, adverbs and similes to describe my holiday.

Mr. Fox, please don't eat me!

On Saturday the 27th of June 2015, Philomena, her mum and I went to the swimming pool because it was a really hot day in winter.

Before long, we made it to the pools and raced to get there as fast as if we were having an Athletics day! It was very surprising when we got there because the entrance fee was free! So Philomena and I went to the girl's changing room and changed within a second.

As soon as we entered the automatic door the inside was packed with people ( that's why it felt even hotter) When we stepped inside the pool it was like we were in a cooking stove that was 250 degrees Celsius. Firstly we pretended to be like mermaids and made pretend evil potions to poison the humans inside the pool so that we could be alone. 

Next we played pass the ball it was really funny because we kept on asking the wrong person to move and bumping to different people. After five minutes had passed, we moved on to a new game called 'What's the time Mr. Fox?'

In this game, you ask one of the other player what the time is and if they say 5 o'clock, you have to take five steps towards them. Once someone is close to the wolf, the wolf says "Dinner time!" and try to tag them. Philomena is good at playing the role of the wolf because she is a fast tagger.

Last but not least, we played 'Don't touch the hot boiling ground'. It was easy as learning your abc's for me because I am short so it was hard for Philomeana because she is tall. Then depressingly we had to go because it was time to go back to her house. 

It was exciting playing with Philomena in the pools because we played cool games and I hope we get to go again soon. 

We are learning to understand and use descriptive language.

I know I can do this when I use adjectives, verbs and similes correctly in my writing.
