We have been learning to write recounts. We wrote about something we did during the school holidays. Here are three of the best stories and illustrations.
Christmas by Ella Andrews
For Christmas I got 24 presents.
My favourite present was the Wizard of Oz watch. On the watch there is a picture of Dorothy and their is ruby red slippers hanging from the watch.
When we had Christmas lunch our friend Paul came over to have it too. Hazel didn't eat her lunch so she got told off. Our next door neighbour gave us Bubble mix! Our friend Paul watched us blow bubbles everywhere.
My mum gave me 15 presents.

Whatamango by Emily Overend
Dad is going hungting and Mum said we are going to Whatamango Bay. We got there about 7.00pm and had frittata with baked beans for tea. Then we went to bed at about 10.00pm.
In the morning we got up and had breakfast. After breakfast we got into our swimming togs and jumped into the stream. It was freezing!
Mum said, "I am going out to the sea." So we went with mum. Mum and Kate went snorkling, but Alice and I went up the streams exploring. Then we tipped the biscuit because it was getting heavier. Then our Nanna and Pop came so we got out and had lunch. Nanna came swimming with us but Pop didn't come with us. We found lots of cockles.
When Nanna and Pop left, Mum said we have to stay in the shade for a bit, so I stayed in the shade. Then we had dinner.
After dinner Chloe asked if I wanted to play tag. I said yes. Kate and Alice helped mum and then they came and played. Chloe was in for tag alot. Then Chloe came to our camp and had a milo with us. After we had finished our mile we brushed our teeth and went to bed.
When we woke it was really windy so we decided to have breakfast and pack everything up into the cover and went home.

Movies by Sophie Overend (yes we're cousins)
Well! It all started when I was tidying my room.
Mum came in and said "If you tidy your room in time you can go to the movies and see Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakwal." Luckily, I finished just in time and could go to the movies.
When we got there Mum parked the car and went in. Mum gave our tickets to the man and we dashed in!
When it finished I really wanted to see it again.
