Picnic at Pt. England - recount
On the 8th of October me and my family and aunts were going to have a picnic at Pt. England, Pt. England is one of the parks I always go to and sometimes whenever it's Christmas we go there to have barbecue. Before we went, we made some food and Drinks like: Pasta, raro, chips and Pork Buns. We put all the main things in the car such as some chairs, food and drinks.
As we arrived at Pt. England we saw my aunts by a tree with an umbrella of some kind, just protecting them from the wind, because it was cold and the breeze made it worse. The first thing we did was sit down, but then my aunty brought out a box I wondered what was in the box?, like food clothes… then I saw a paper towel holding something in the box she then gave us toothpicks. I thought it was for getting food out of our teeth, but when she opened it, I saw cookies but no ordinary cookies , they were dalgona cookies. If you haven’t watched squid games, here are what dalgona cookies were used for. It was a game where you had to shap what the outline was shaping, if you cracked it or messed up you would die.
We started, I tried to pierce it with one hit but then… I messed up it cracked I was doomed, I tied to hide it but they snitched on me and I got shot with a water gun, after the cookies we played red light green light we all got behind the tree, while my two aunties were the shooter and the person whos says red light green light, the first round none got eliminated until my aunts lost balance she then fell down then my aunty came like Usain bolt and sprayed her, my aunts wasn’t happy so she chased her we were all laughing.
That day was the funnest outing I had for a picnic, I wish I could do it again.

Narrative writing: Tj and the Turtle Oka
Today for writing we are learning about Narrative writing and about living on a animal, because we watched a video, I also had to draw about it, my turtle is called oka and the main person is Tj, Tj lives in Brise a big city that lives on a Oka.
my narritive writing is below
Tj and the turtle Oka:
Hi my name is Tj, and my life is kinda crazy: I live in a city called brise, and Brise lives on a turtle, the turtles leg is as big as two building together, and it face is as big as 4 cars, the eyes are like the atlantic ocean, It is quite fast for a turtle because of the size, it takes very big steps, it always leaves little footprints., and we call him Oka. Ohhh yeah I forgot I have 2 little annoying little brothers ( Jacob and Jake ), they are 8 years old and they both have same personality traits, like they both cause trouble and they are annoying, and one of their worst personality traits they love to mess around with me like that one time they gave me dissolving pants because we were going to the pool, and you do not want to know what happened. Then there's me, I'm Tj. I am 11 years old. I have Brown hair and black eyes, I am skinny and I'm a lady killer;) ( meaning all the girls like me I think?).
No one knew my town ( Brise ) how we Mysteriously appeared on top of this Turtle, but that didn't bother us that much. But the turtle moves every night going south west, but the bad thing about that was we didn't know what was in that territory or in that direction. I don't really think the Oka ( the turtle ) knew we were on top of him, but there was a legend " a woman whose name was Clara, who once interacted with the turtle and the turtle and her were like best friends". You see, we have this tradition in my town, where we give water to the turtle. You're probably thinking how, well there is actually a well where we pour the water in and I think the turtle drinks it, and in accordance with our tradition the turtle does its thing and doesn't bother about us.

Hello my name is Josh and I was born in Holland, a small village in vice, I wasn't that rich like my best friend Tyler. Tyler and I met in kindergarten and now 3 years have passed and we're best friends. Crazy story ai, today we are going to the zoo. I was so excited I literally packed everything 2 days before the trip.
Two day later Tyler and I entered the zoo I was so nervous and happy, the first animal I wanted to see was a snake so me and my friend went, I told me friend “his name was Mike”, Tyler's face was so confused he asked “ how do you know that” I replied with “ what do you mean can you not hear the snake talking to you and me?” Tylers started to laugh he said” haha funny joke” well my face was straight, Tyler asked “ can you actually hear the snake” I said “ I can” He knew I wasn;t lying because we were best friends for years, so we didn’t really mind about it so we kept on walking.
We then went to the shark tank, “the sharks were endangered I said to Tyler “ Tyler then said “ what makes you think of that” then I said because they are telling me” Tyler said I saw what happening here, you have powers you can talk t0 animals” I was amazed maybe being not that rich can pay off. So we had to do something, Tylr came up with a brilliant plan, he said what if we buy the shark then throw them back into the ocean, I said “ that could work lets ask excuse me sir” I said to the officer, “can We buy all the sharks” they said “no” so we went to plan b buy the whole zoo, we asked the officer “ can we meet with the person who owns this zoo” they said “ok”
