Fire, Hot Mount Manganui!!!
the van to get ready to go to the amazing, hot, sunny Mount manganui. “is that everything?” dad askes. “yes, now LET’S go!” I say. everyone piles into the van, dad at the wheel, me in the middle and mum as the passenger. once we got to the beach the first thing we did was unpack the van. once we finished i went to see my friends. we hung out for a bit. my friends and i were doing a shop. we do this shop every year. we did the shop for about 2 minutes, AND THEN we just hung out in my caravan. after about 2-3 minutes mum, dad and i had to go for a walk to get some tea. after tea mum, dad and i went to see our friends for a drink. after we had a drink we went back to our It was a hot, sunny summers day when my mum, dad and i were loading caravan to go to bed.
“who’s ready for a day of FUN?” i shout out to my friends Chantelleand ava. the very first thing we did was… play baseball on the beach. it was very, very hard to run on the sand. After we had finished playing baseball we did the shop with my ther friend Harper. we did the shop untill lunch time. afetr lunch mum, dad and i went far a walk up town. when we came back i rode around the camp-ground on my scooter untill tea.
it was a stormy, windy christmas day and we drove to omokoroa with my brother-Ethan, ethans girlfriend-melissa, mum, dad and i. once we got up to my nana and grandpas house we found out that everyone had allready opened their present ecxept the ones we gave them. after we had opened our presents the parents went and got tea ready while the kids played. after tea and desert mum, dad, ethan, melissa and i decided to go home with a truck load of presents in the boot.
“horay, IT’S new years eve!” i shout out. its freezing cold OUT-SIDE but whos to say that no-one can go out-side to play. chantelle and i mostley played on our scooters for that day. once the night came, the sun was emerging down and the moon was emerging up it became colder and colder. chantelles mum, chantelle, my mum and i sat snuggled up in blankets on the edge of the grasss and watched as the fireworks lite up the starry night. once they were done we started to walk back to our caravan to go to bed.
“happy new years day!” i shout out. it’s a sunny yet cold day. at 7am that morning mum and dad went down to the beach to see how many people were asleep down on the beach. there was a guy that had a wizard hat on, he rolled onto his side and his hat came off but he put it back on again in his sleep. today i just hung around mum and dad in the caravan because it was raining out-side.

  1. Well done Bianca. This is a lively story. I enjoyed it especially because our climate was very different at Christmas and it is interesting to see how other people live.

    To start with I liked the beginning where 'EVERYONE PILES INTO THE VAN, DAD AT THE WHEEL, ME IN THE MIDDLE AND MUM AS THE PASSENGER'.That is so well described I can see it as if I was looking at a photograph. Your use of interesting verbs like 'PILES' is excellent also.

    I really liked your use of adjectives, for example THE AMAZING, HOT, SUNNY MOUNT MANGANUI. ...A HOT, SUNNY SUMMERS DAY ...A STORMY, WINDY CHRISTMAS DAY

    You really got your personality across with sentences like 'ITS FREEZING COLD OUT-SIDE BUT WHOS TO SAY THAT NO-ONE CAN GO OUT-SIDE TO PLAY?'

    Popping a question into your story like that gave it variety and made it even more interesting to read.

    I felt you really got into the swing of writing by the time you wrote:
    'THE SUN WAS EMERGING DOWN AND THE MOON WAS EMERGING UP IT BECAME COLDER AND COLDER. CHANTELLES MUM, CHANTELLE, MY MUM AND I SAT SNUGGLED UP IN BLANKETS ON THE EDGE OF THE GRASSS AND WATCHED AS THE FIREWORKS LITE UP THE STARRY NIGHT'.

    You were like some one who had gone for a run and by the time you got to this point you were really 'in the zone'. Once again I can see the picture in my head and I love your use of the verbs 'EMERGING' and 'SNUGGLED' and your description of exactly where you were ('THE EDGE OF THE GRASS') and the night sky ('STARRY').

    Well done Bianca!
