Mmm, those oreos taste delicious!

During the weekends, my dad, sisters, brother and I went to Pak’nSave to buy some groceries and lunch for school. Before we left, we had to wait for my sisters to get ready because they took forever to get changed. One they were ready, they hurried to the car and we left the house.

Before we went to Pak‘nSave, my dad drove us to the bank to check how much money he had in his credit card. After he found out, we straight away drove to Pa‘nSave. Once my dad parked the car we all hopped out of the car and went inside the shop.

My brother and I saw a lot of tasty and delicious food. I ran and grabbed a trolley to put all our groceries in. We bought some tomato sauce, mayonnaise, fish, two bottles of fizzy drink, lollies, chocolate bar, oreos, crackers, bread, cream, butter, juice, water bottles, chocolate chip cookies, peanut cookies, baby wipes and nappies.

After we bought all the groceries that we needed. We went to pay for them at the counter. My dad paid for the groceries while my brother and I waited for him beside the counter. After everything was paid for, we took the groceries to the car and quickly put them in the boot.

However before we headed home, my dad stopped over at the dairy and bought two bottles of milk, some oranges and bananas for my little siblings to take to school. Then we went back home. I had a fantastic time going to the shops with my dad, sisters and brothers, because I was able to choose the food that I wanted to take to school the following week.

Celebrating Guy Fawkes Day is fun!

On Saturday 5th of November, my dad, brothers, sisters and I celebrated Guy Fawkes Day with some fireworks. I was very excited. Before we lit up some fireworks, we watched the fireworks from the other houses because my dad was still asleep, so we had to wait for him to wake up.

I loved looking at the fireworks because it was very pretty and colourful. My youngest brother didn’t come outside because he was really scared and frightened of the fireworks, so he watched the fireworks through the windows inside our house.

When my dad woke up, he went to the car to get the fireworks. Then we began lighting the fireworks. My dad brought the sparklers for us to light up for my younger siblings, and we lit up some sparklers for ourselves. My little sister felt scared when she was holding the sparklers so she gave it to me instead to hold.

After that, my older brother Kolio lit up some fireworks. It looked so cool when it went up into the sky. Kolio only lit up some of the fireworks, because we had to save some of them for the next day. My brother Kolio also lit some of the firework bombs.

When Kolio first lit one of the bombs, he almost hurt himself because he was too close. After the first bomb ended, we bought some chicken and chips and ate it while we were watching the fireworks around our house.

I had a great time lighting up fireworks with my dad, brothers and sisters. Next time I hope we get to light up all the fireworks, because it’s so exciting to watch them explode in the sky.

Learning intention: We are learning to write a recount.
