Holiday Recount

On Saturday on the first week of the holidays I when to Dargaville with Summer to her Dad’s. When we first got there we had to go to bed because it was about 9:00pm when we got there.

The day after that we went to Whangarei we got to go to smiggle. When we got to Smiggle we found out it was closed so after that we went to have some lunch. For lunch we had some delicious Butter Chicken Curry! When we had finished our Butter Chicken we went to Summer’s Uncle's place to stay for dinner. After dinner we went to the movies to see Ice Age. Before the movie Summer and I got a Ghostbusters Combo that came with a Ghostbusters drink and a huge box of popcorn.

The next Day we went into Dargaville to pick up Summer’s friend Elisa and then we went to Whangarei again to watch the movie Ghostbusters. When we got there we saw that the one that we were going to be on was in 3D. One bit in the movie gave everyone in the cinemas a fright because one of the ghost spat out slime and it looked like it was coming to us. When that happened Summer’s dad accidentally elbowed Elisa and Summer dropped her lollies. After the movie  we went to smiggle again and that time it was open.  The thing’s that I bought from Smiggle was a talking watch, a drawing book, three pencils and a rubber.

The next day we got packed up and headed back home.

What I liked about it is that we could do all these activities in our group and get points. I liked how much points that you get because if you win 1st we would get ten points and if we got 2nd we would get five points. What I also liked about it is that we had different people that we wouldn’t always work with.	What I didn’t really like is that sometime people in our group wouldn’t listen to some of my ideas. The thing I also didn’t really like is that some people would let our team down by being too silly. Another thing that I didn’t like is that when the time is up our creation would fall down before the teachers would come and mark it.	What I found interesting is the activities we had to do like the balloon challenge because we had to pile up  balloons as high as we could. Another thing that I found interesting is that the creations that we made were not that good but they would end up winning. What I also found interesting is the comments on the paper that our group did a sentence of what they like about us.
