I love the Philippines!

During my holiday, went to my grandma’s surprise birthday party. My cousin, his mum, my dad and I had to hide in a room because we haven't seen her for five years so we wanted to surprise her.The lights were off so it was pitch black .

However the four of us weren't in the same room with them. She was so surprised when they opened the door for my grandma.We waited in the secret room until they called us.

First my cousin went in because he has been overseas. Then they called us in the room. After that they showed a comedy of my grandma’s daily routine.

At last it was time to eat so I hurried to the food section  grab  the food.

Then my dad and his four brothers sang a song Then his 6 sisters sang a song and my cousin performed using a ukulele after that all the cousins sang a song but not all of them was there. Lastly they showed the presentations from our families all around the world.

Then and my auntie said a speech and I think my dad didn't really know what he was saying. My uncle Randy read from a script and my other uncle said a closing thank “Thank you” speech. My cousin Gabe said a closing prayer for us when the speeches ended. They sang my grandma’s favourite song.

When the party ended we we all helped cleaned up the hotel ballroom. Felt so tired afterwards when we got home, I changed straight away and very soon I fell asleep and I snored very loud.

Learning intention: We are learning to use the structure of a recount correctly. 

Success criteria: I know I can do this when I write my orientation, followed by the body and then the conclusion.

Have you ever had the time of your life?

On the 22nd of November I went to Celeste's Birthday.

Firstly we went to Kiwi yo to meet. After we ate frozen yoghurt, my friends and I went to smigle to check out there products. Oh no! It's 10:30 so we all rushed to the cinema and there Celeste was. We all hugged her as if

she was a celebrity. 

   Then we went to the directors lounge to wait for the movie to start. A few minutes later it was time to watch the movie however Celeste's auntie called us to line up. She told us to grab a drink, popcorn, m&m's and last but not least  ICE CREAM! It was like paradise. We walked up to Celeste's dad and what a surprise we had our own cinema. 

     However Shannon dropped half of her popcorn and the movie hasn't started. Shh! the movie's starting but we had a popcorn fight. The second to last row and the last row. We used popcorn, popcorn containers and m&m's.
    Another funny moment was when Shannon, Gabby and I used the booster seats. Also Shannon spilt Gabby's drink three times. When the movie had finished all of us went to the arcade to play. 10 minutes later, we were all picked up.
   I loved Celeste's Birthday It was the best Birthday ever because we watched Hunger games the mocking jay. The best part was when Shannon kept on spilling Gabby's drink and I steeped on the spilt popcorn and drink. Clumsy Shannon and I!

Hi, my name is Cheska, I am nine years old. I live in Panmure. I like parties and here is a story of me in attending a birthday party.

After I went to church I went straight to a birthday party. When I arrived my cousin called me to go inside the house and I saw a bunch of kids there. My cousin introduced to them and one of them said" Do you punch. After that encounter I kept on following my cousin around because I was to shy too talk to the others.

Then the games started and the first game was spoon the water to the bowl.The first thing you have to do is to put one end to your mouth fill it with water then take it to the bowl and tip it. Then its the other persons turn.

It was the best day ever!!
