Hooray! On Saturday the 25th of September 2010 it was the holiday. During my holiday my family and I went bowling. I was the winner because I scored the most points.

The next morning we went to the Rainbow’s End. It was fun going on the scary rides. The following week we went to Sylvia Park to do shopping. I bought some beautiful clothes. Then we went to the park. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery at the park.

After the park we went home and had a rest. I really enjoyed my holiday because it was cool and I had lots of fun.

Recount of a Folk Dancing Festival by Jonah

Yay! On Tuesday the 17th of August 2010, Glenbrae School students and Staff went to the ASB Stadium for our folk dancing festival. We went there by bus. When we arrived at the ASB Stadium we waited. We saw many animals.

Then we danced but before we danced we did the grand march. After a few dances we had morning tea. Then we did more dances. We also listened to lovely music.

When we finished we tried to get as many balloons as we could. We went back to school by bus. I had a wonderful time at the Folk dancing festival and would love to go back next year.

Narrative of Peter and the Wolf rewritten by Jonah

One day there was a boy named Peter who lived in the woods with his grandpa. Early one morning Peter opened the gate and went out. Then he saw a bird flying around the tree.

After that he saw a duck following him and the gate was opened because Peter forgot to lock it.
He heard the bird asking the duck :“What kind of bird you are if you can’t fly?” and the duck asked: “What kind of bird are you if you can’t swim?”

Then a cat came and he thought that it was a bad cat. He jumped higher and he missed.
A big wolf came from the woods.Then Peter’s grandpa told Peter to come into the house.

The wolf ate the duck and the cat ran away from the wolf. Then Peter climbed on the tree.He caught the wolf right on his tail and two hunters came to the woods. They shot the wolf and Peter saw them and he shouted :”Don't shoot the wolf. I already got it.” Then the hunters got the wolf in the zoo but the duck was still alive in the wolf’s stomach.

Narrative retold by Jonah

Once upon a time there was a mum and a dad who had three children. One day mum and two of the children went for a holiday. One child called Tamati stayed with his dog and his dad.

One night Tamati and his dad were eating dinner and Sam wanted to eat. Then Tamati gave Sam some food of his.

After eating they watched a DVD. Then Tamati went to sleep. The fire alarm went: “Beep, beep, beep.” Tamati called out: “Fire, fire, fire.” He got out through the front door. Then Tamati told Sam: “Don’t go in there.” They went to the meeting place.

Tamati’s dad rang 111 and the firemen came and put out the fire. They were now safe and lived happily ever after.
