My Holidays
In the Holidays, I went movies with my friends Isabella and Kapri. In the morning I was outside waiting for Isabella and her mum to pick me and Kapri from my house. When she came,Isabellas mum told me to tell my mum that I’ll be back by four o’clock.
When we left with the car, it was awkward. We had nothing to say but kapri was busy counting her coins and money. It was funny, because Isabellas mum ask who was counting coins and we didn’t say anything.Isabella's mom dropped us off at pakuranga. When we got out of the car, we walked to pak’n’save and bought our snacks. I bought, chips, drink, chocolate, Donut, licorice and lot of junk food. My food cost up to, 19.98. We took off and I started to say hi to everyone I went past too. We started to walk up to the movies so we can take our setts. Well! The lady said we have to wait until 12:30. I wanted to go eat some ice cream, so we did. I gave out some bubble gum to Isabella and Kapri and then we took off again. When the lady told us that we can go in. I was like, finally! This men gave us free paddle pop and then I walked with it and we were trying to figure out what number room we have to go in. It was number 10 Me, Isabella and Kapri were looking for our number setts and once we found, it we sat down and I of course. Took all my snacks out and left it on the table between me and Isabella. The movie began and it was awesome. I was so excited and I got a bit scared. Kapri and Isabella was laughing at me because I was hiding my face from the chocolate. Then I kinda scream and the girls and women that was at the back of me, laughed. After the movie we went out to the toilet and then we took a photo from the photo booth and then we went to the food court. I had oporto, Isabella had Butter chicken and Kapri had McDonalds. After that we left and then we went back home.

Raft Building
Raft Building
It was so cold! The raft was in the water wobbling and I bobbed down next to it, while Kapri was holding on to me. Instead of sitting, I lay down on the raft as I was so exhausted from everything going on. However I felt comfortable and confident about raft building and that it would be a fun experience.
As we set out on to the water, I was about to bail off the raft because we couldn’t stop the raft from moving about in the rough water. Luckily for me I had my life jacket and my helmet on.
As we started to paddle towards the waterfall, my bottom kept on hitting the rocks. Suddenly I fell from the raft and into the bitterly cold deep water. There were rocks beneath me and I couldn’t get up, I felt like I wanted to cry. My bottom was sore and it felt like everything was against me.
The water was moving so fast, that I couldn’t stand up and I was shaking like a blender. Everyone that was on the raft noticed that I was shaking and they were laughing. Woosh! The water kept on coming at me and it was splashing me in my eyes blinding me.
It was super windy, the wind was blowing the raft from side to side as it looked like it was going to fall apart. Finally the instructor was nice enough to hold the raft so we could float and I was able to pull myself back onto the raft using all the energy that I had left in me.
