Holidays

It's finally here!
Today is the first day of my school holidays. I am excited to have fun but tomorrow I won't be as happy. This Saturday I will be attending my Nana's unveiling. All week I haven't looked forward to this but I will probably have to go. Anyway I will be posting more stories in my free time bye!

Favourite part

This term my favourite part was last week having our little egg friends.
Goodbye I will probably post more so stay tuned.
BYE!!!!

My egg friend

Walt: think about my purpose and reader by planning my recount

I used to like egg races until yesterday. Yesterday we had and egg and spoon race.

Races themselves are difficult but yesterday was the top of the top. Check this out.

Egg races are hard because, you really have to concentrate while doing it. You

will probably get the feeling the spoon is heavy because you are moving alot.

We were in buddies and we each got one egg per group. My buddy Lani drew a face on our egg. While my buddy was coming with the egg I felt extremely nervous. I was waiting at the other side of the park and I thought what if I crack it or drop it. But that wasn't the worst part.

My buddy Lani had given me the egg. While I walked through the park I was scared but I sort of succeeded. I was happy but when I was one foot away from the finish line  my egg fell onto the ground. Luckily my egg never broke or cracked.

I think that next time I will go a bit slower so I can gain control over my egg. To be honest I don’t know if I will ever do that again. If I do it again I will probably think about what I'm going to do before I do it.

I slurped a drink at Mac Donald's.

In this task I learnt what onomatopoeia meant. Onomatopoeia is mimic words that help a sentence sound more interesting.
This is a site with the definition of onomatopoeia so you can understand it more than you may already
do.

Market Day!!!

Walt: write an interesting and detailed recount .

Find , buy , Eat!!! Last Friday we had a market day full of purchasing and selling. I started with 5pt and ended with 18.20 pt . That wasn't even the best bit.

The trade and enterprise group I'm in is kitchen. I made chocolate fudge by myself , the reason why was because my partner was unfortunately at sports. When I  tasted it I found it was quite sweet but still yum. We sold the fudge for 2pt. We had a market day to sell the products that we had made. All yr ⅚ people planned and waited for the market for 8 weeks which is three quarters of this term.

In the morning after assembly we set the classes up for our market, because we planned to have it from after morning tea , all the way to lunch. The kitchen group was outside because we had alot of crumbs and we didn't want to get them all over the floor so it was probably a better idea to go outside.

I bought alot of items. First of all Just before I started selling because I had ordered it I got a big lime ice block someone tried to buy it but I said “ sorry I already ordered”. While I was selling I gave my friend 2pt to buy me some hot chips and I was the first person. Soon after that I had sold out so because we had made and uneven amount we spent some pts. I bought a coaster , drum and a yellow slime. But it was a pity I had to leave before the day ended.

While I was selling I found everyone liked it but it was too expensive so I put it down to 1pt and then more people came to buy more. When we had sold out of fudge my buddy and I went around buying items. There were alot of things for sale we had vases , slime , food , ukulele , drums and custom stationary tools.

If we ever have another market I will look forward to it. Due to our currency I am better at getting more profits and bargains.
